  • How to store SSH keys in Vault?
    2 projects | /r/hashicorp | 27 Dec 2021
    I am using vault-action to retrieve SSH private keys in the kv secrets engine but I am not able to SSH to hosts using the SSH secret variable retrieved. However it works when I use the same keys in Github Action Secrets. I believe it's because the kv engine stores it in json and I am not able to put a new line at the end because when I exported the value to my ~/.ssh/test folder from vault, I had to manually add a new line at the end for it to work. Are SSH keys meant to be stored in the kv-v2 engine or should it be using something else?
