vault auth failure

[govindaraj]

Hi All,

I initialized Vault (3 servers) on newly built Datacenter. I unsealed vault. But when i try to auth it is throwing the error as shown below. For some reason leader election is not happening. We have consul to store the Key/Value.Thoughts?

```

vault: 2016/09/13 19:29:29 [INFO] core: acquired lock, enabling active operation

vault: 2016/09/13 19:29:29 [WARN]: consul: Concurrent state change notify dropped

```

Hi Govind,

It appears something has tampered with your data, because decryption
is failing due to MAC failure. How was this set up? Where did the data
come from?

Best,
Jeff
