-address not appearing to work

[cal...@well.ox.ac.uk]

When using the vault cli on a machine not running the server, it seems that specifying the -address="https://vault:8200" has no affect, and localhost is still being called (doing vault login).

Hi there,

It's working for me:

$ unset VAULT_ADDR

$ vault login -address="http://127.0.0.1:8200" root

Success! You are now authenticated. The token information displayed below

is already stored in the token helper. You do NOT need to run "vault login"

again. Future Vault requests will automatically use this token.

Key                Value

---                -----

token              root

token_accessor     bce960c5-c918-18e7-0b43-e311801f253e

token_duration     ∞

token_renewable    false

token_policies     [root]

$ vault login -address="http://127.0.0.1:8202" root

Error authenticating: error looking up token: Get http://127.0.0.1:8202/v1/auth/token/lookup-self: dial tcp 127.0.0.1:8202: connect: connection refused

Best,

Jeff

I think the issue was i was trying:

 vault auth

Which appears to only work on localhost. testing with the default address might not be the best option.

I'm now wrestling with certificates, but no issues with the software.

Hi Callum,

I'm not sure; vault auth works for me too:

$ unset VAULT_ADDR

$ vault auth -address="http://127.0.0.1:8200" rootWARNING! The "vault auth ARG" command is deprecated and is now a subcommand

for interacting with auth methods. To authenticate locally to Vault, use

"vault login" instead. This backwards compatibility will be removed in Vault

0.11 (or later).

Success! You are now authenticated. The token information displayed below

is already stored in the token helper. You do NOT need to run "vault login"

again. Future Vault requests will automatically use this token.
