Dear Community

We are using Vault server and must add Active Directory secret engine. For some reason, AD secret engine was not found as a part of the Vault setup , we have downloaded (version 0.10.1).
When we tried to enable ad engine, we got the error:
Error enabling: Error making API request.

URL: POST http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/mounts/ad
Code: 400. Errors:

* unknown backend type: "ad"

The "ad" also does not appear in the UI secrets list box (See attached). Does anybody know how to get this AD secret engine plugin visible or registered in Vault.

Thank you

Hi Boris,

AD secrets was added in version 0.10.2.  Once you update (0.10.3 is the latest and recommended) you should be able to enable that backend. The feature can be set up as an external plugin to work with 0.10.1, but using the bundled version in a more recent Vault release is a bit simpler. 

Regards,
Jim

The Active Directory secret engine was added in 0.10.2 with additional features added in 0.10.3.  I would recommend using the latest version.
