Hi,

I'm running Vault version 0.6.2, but I can't enable the App Role backend. This is the command I'm using, as per the docs:

vault auth-enable approle

I've also tried via the REST API.

In both cases I get a 400 response with body: "unknown backend type: approle"

Any ideas why this isn't working? App Role should be available from version 0.6.1 shouldn't it?

Let me know if I can supply more details.

Thanks,

Colin

Colin,

It should work.

Can you provide the output of "vault status" ??

vault status:

Sealed: false

Key Shares: 5

Key Threshold: 3

Unseal Progress: 0

Version:

High-Availability Enabled: true

Mode: active

Leader: <my_fqdn>

Not sure why the Version field is empty. When I run vault version I get:

Vault v0.6.2

It appears that the version of Vault server was actually 0.6.2 despite vault version saying it was 0.6.2. Perhaps my client was version 0.6.2.

It's working now when I upgraded to 0.6.2. Thanks for you help anyway.
