+# Authenticating and Reading Secrets With Hashicorp Vault
+
+This tutorial demonstrates how to authenticate, configure, and read secrets with HashiCorp's Vault from GitLab CI/CD.
+
+## Requirements
+
+This tutorial assumes you are familiar with GitLab CI/CD and Vault.
+
+To follow along, you will need:
+
+- An account on GitLab.
+- A running Vault server and the access required to configure authentication and create roles and policies.
+
+NOTE: **Note:**
+You will need to replace the `vault.example.com` URL below with the URL of your Vault server and `gitlab.example.com` with the URL of your GitLab instance.
+
+## How it works
+
+Each job has JSON Web Token (JWT) provided as environment variable named `CI_JOB_JWT`. This JWT can be used to authenticate with Vault using the [JWT Auth](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt/#jwt-authentication) method.
+
+The JWT's payload looks like this:
+
+```json
+{
+ "jti": "c82eeb0c-5c6f-4a33-abf5-4c474b92b558", # Unique identifier for this token
+ "iss": "gitlab.example.com", # Issuer, the domain of your GitLab instance
+ "iat": 1585710286, # Issued at
+ "nbf": 1585798372, # Not valid before
+ "exp": 1585713886, # Expire at
+ "sub": "job_1212", # Subject (job id)
+ "namespace_id": "1",
+ "namespace_path": "mygroup",
+ "project_id": "22",
+ "project_path": "mygroup/myproject",
+ "user_id": "42",
+ "user_login": "myuser",
+ "user_email": "myuser@example.com"
+ "pipeline_id": "1212",
+ "job_id": "1212",
+ "ref": "auto-deploy-2020-04-01", # Git ref for this job
+ "ref_type": "branch", # Git ref type, branch or tag
+ "ref_protected": "true" # true if this git ref is protected, false otherwise
+}
+```
+
+The JWT is encoded by using RS256 and signed with your GitLab instance's OpenID Connect private key. The expire time for the token will be set to job's timeout, if specifed, or 5 minutes if it is not. The key used to sign this token may change without any notice. In such case retrying the job will generate new JWT using the current signing key.
+
+You can use this JWT and your instance's JWKS endpoint (`https://gitlab.example.com/-/jwks`) to authenticate with a Vault server that is configured to allow the JWT Authentication method for authentication.
+
+When configuring roles in Vault, you can use [bound_claims](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt/#bound-claims) to match against the JWT's claims and restrict which secrets each CI job has access to.
+
+To communicate with Vault, you can use either its CLI client or perform API requests (using `curl` or another client).
+
+## Example
+
+CAUTION: **Caution**:
+JWTs are credentials, which can grant access to resources. Be careful where you paste them!
+
+Let's say you have the passwords for your staging and production databases stored in a Vault server that is running on `http://vault.example.com:8200`. Your staging password is `pa$$w0rd` and your production password is `real-pa$$w0rd`.
+
+```shell
+$ vault kv get -field=password secret/myproject/staging/db
+pa$$w0rd
+
+$ vault kv get -field=password secret/myproject/production/db
+real-pa$$w0rd
+```
+
+To configure your Vault server, start by enabling the [JWT Auth](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt/) method:
+
+```shell
+$ vault auth enable jwt
+Success! Enabled jwt auth method at: jwt/
+```
+
+Then create policies that allow you to read these secrets (one for each secret):
+
+```shell
+$ vault policy write myproject-staging - <<EOF
+# Policy name: myproject-staging
+#
+# Read-only permission on 'secret/data/myproject/staging/*' path
+path "secret/data/myproject/staging/*" {
+ capabilities = [ "read" ]
+}
+EOF
+Success! Uploaded policy: myproject-staging
+
+$ vault policy write myproject-production - <<EOF
+# Policy name: myproject-production
+#
+# Read-only permission on 'secret/data/myproject/production/*' path
+path "secret/data/myproject/production/*" {
+ capabilities = [ "read" ]
+}
+EOF
+Success! Uploaded policy: myproject-production
+```
+
+You'll also need roles that will link the JWT with these policies.
+
+One for staging named `myproject-staging`:
+
+```shell
+$ vault write auth/jwt/role/myproject-staging - <<EOF
+{
+ "role_type": "jwt",
+ "policies": ["myproject-staging"],
+ "token_explicit_max_ttl": 60,
+ "user_claim": "user_email",
+ "bound_claims": {
+ "project_id": "22",
+ "ref": "master",
+ "ref_type": "branch"
+ }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+And one for production named `myproject-production`:
+
+```shell
+$ vault write auth/jwt/role/myproject-production - <<EOF
+{
+ "role_type": "jwt",
+ "policies": ["myproject-production"],
+ "token_explicit_max_ttl": 60,
+ "user_claim": "user_email",
+ "bound_claims_type": "glob",
+ "bound_claims": {
+ "project_id": "22",
+ "ref_protected": "true",
+ "ref_type": "branch",
+ "ref": "auto-deploy-*"
+ }
+}
+EOF
+```
+
+This example uses [bound_claims](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#bound_claims) to specify that only a JWT with matching values for the specified claims will be allowed to authenticate.
+
+Combined with GitLab's [protected branches](../../../user/project/protected_branches.md), you can restrict who is able to authenticate and read the secrets.
+
+[token_explicit_max_ttl](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#token_explicit_max_ttl) specifies that the token issued by Vault, upon successful authentication, has a hard lifetime limit of 60 seconds.
+
+[user_claim](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#user_claim) specifies the name for the Identity alias created by Vault upon a successful login.
+
+[bound_claims_type](https://www.vaultproject.io/api-docs/auth/jwt#bound_claims_type) configures the interpretation of the `bound_claims` values. If set to `glob`, the values will be interpreted as globs, with `*` matching any number of characters.
+
+For the full list of options, see Vault's [Create Role documentation](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#create-role).
+
+CAUTION: **Caution**:
+Always restrict your roles to project or namespace by using one of the provided claims (e.g. `project_id` or `namespace_id`). Otherwise any JWT generated by this instance may be allowed to authenticate using this role.
+
+Now, configure the JWT Authentication method:
+
+```shell
+$ vault write auth/jwt/config \
+ jwks_url="https://gitlab.example.com/-/jwks" \
+ bound_issuer="gitlab.example.com"
+```
+
+[bound_issuer](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#inlinecode-bound_issuer) specifies that only a JWT with the issuer (that is, the `iss` claim) set to `gitlab.example.com` can use this method to authenticate, and that the JWKS endpoint (`https://gitlab.example.com/-/jwks`) should be used to validate the token.
+
+For the full list of available configuration options, see Vault's [API documentation](https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#configure).
+
+The following job, when run for the `master` branch, will be able to read secrets under `secret/myproject/staging/`, but not the secrets under `secret/myproject/production/`:
+
+```yaml
+read_secrets:
+ script:
+ # Check job's ref name
+ - echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
+ # and is this ref protected
+ - echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_PROTECTED
+ # Vault's address can be provided here or as CI variable
+ - export VAULT_ADDR=http://vault.example.com:8200
+ # Authenticate and get token. Token expiry time and other properties can be configured
+ # when configuring JWT Auth - https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#parameters-1
+ - export VAULT_TOKEN="$(vault write -field=token auth/jwt/login role=myproject-staging jwt=$CI_JOB_JWT)"
+ # Now use the VAULT_TOKEN to read the secret and store it in an environment variable
+ - export PASSWORD="$(vault kv get -field=password secret/myproject/staging/db)"
+ # Use the secret
+ - echo $PASSWORD
+ # This will fail because the role myproject-staging can not read secrets from secret/myproject/production/*
+ - export PASSWORD="$(vault kv get -field=password secret/myproject/production/db)"
+```
+
+![read_secrets staging](img/vault-read-secrets-staging.png)
+
+The following job will be able to authenticate using the `myproject-production` role and read secrets under `/secret/myproject/production/`:
+
+```yaml
+read_secrets:
+ script:
+ # Check job's ref name
+ - echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_NAME
+ # and is this ref protected
+ - echo $CI_COMMIT_REF_PROTECTED
+ # Vault's address can be provided here or as CI variable
+ - export VAULT_ADDR=http://vault.example.com:8200
+ # Authenticate and get token. Token expiry time and other properties can be configured
+ # when configuring JWT Auth - https://www.vaultproject.io/api/auth/jwt#parameters-1
+ - export VAULT_TOKEN="$(vault write -field=token auth/jwt/login role=myproject-production jwt=$CI_JOB_JWT)"
+ # Now use the VAULT_TOKEN to read the secret and store it in environment variable
+ - export PASSWORD="$(vault kv get -field=password secret/myproject/production/db)"
+ # Use the secret
+ - echo $PASSWORD
+```
