  2. Select the HashiCorp Key Vault option.
  3. Enter the Vault URL (for example: https://<hostname1:port_num>).

    Ensure that the role with the given RoleID has a minimum of read permission to the secrets engine path and to all the secrets that are created in the secrets engine.
  5. Enter the Role Name.
