[All Vault-Associate Questions]

Which of the following describes the Vault's auth method component?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: A

The Vault's auth method component is the component that performs authentication and assigns identity and policies to a client. It verifies a client against an internal or external system, and generates a token with the appropriate policies attached. The token can then be used to access the secrets and resources that are authorized by the policies. Vault supports various auth methods, such as userpass, ldap, aws, kubernetes, etc., that can integrate with different identity providers and systems. The auth method component can also handle token renewal and revocation, as well as identity grouping and aliasing.Reference:Auth Methods | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Authentication - Concepts | Vault | HashiCorp Developer

C seems to be about token storage, which is not the primary function of the auth method component. I'm going with A.

Haha, B is definitely not the right answer. Generating a root policy token would be a security nightmare!

D sounds interesting, but I'm not sure it's the right description for the auth method component. That sounds more like the dynamic secrets engine.

I think the correct answer is A. The auth method component verifies the client and generates a token with the appropriate policies attached, not a root policy.
