+# Vault Authentication with GitLab OpenID Connect
+
+> [Introduced](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-foss/issues/22323) in GitLab 9.0
+
+[Vault](https://www.vaultproject.io/) is a secrets management application offered by HashiCorp.
+It allows you to store and manage sensitive information such secret environment variables, encryption keys, and authentication tokens.
+Vault offers Identity-based Access, which means Vault users can authenticate through several of their preferred cloud providers.
+
+In this document, we'll explain how Vault users can authenticate themselves through GitLab by utilizing our OpenID authentication feature.
+The following assumes you already have Vault installed and running.
+
+1. **Get the OpenID Connect client ID and secret from GitLab:**
+
+ First you'll need to create a GitLab application to obtain an application ID and secret for authenticating into Vault. To do this, sign in to GitLab and follow these steps:
+
+ 1. On GitLab, click your avatar on the top-right corner, and select your user **Settings > Applications**.
+ 1. Fill out the application **Name** and [**Redirect URI**](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt.html#redirect-uris),
+ making sure to select the **openid** scope.
+ 1. Save application.
+ 1. Copy client ID and secret, or keep the page open for reference.
+ ![GitLab OAuth provider](img/gitlab_oauth_vault_v12_6.png)
+
+1. **Enable OIDC auth on Vault:**
+
+ OpenID Connect is not enabled in Vault by default. This needs to be enabled in the terminal.
+
+ Open a terminal session and run the following command to enable the OpenID Connect authentication provider in Vault:
+
+ ```bash
+ vault auth enable oidc
+ ```
+
+ You should see the following output in the terminal:
+
+ ```bash
+ Success! Enabled oidc auth method at: oidc/
+ ```
+
+1. **Write the OIDC config:**
+
+ Next, Vault needs to be given the application ID and secret generated by Gitlab.
+
+ In the terminal session, run the following command to give Vault access to the GitLab application you've just created with an OpenID scope. This allows Vault to authenticate through GitLab.
+
+ Replace `your_application_id` and `your_secret` in the example below with the application ID and secret generated for your app:
+
+ ```bash
+ $ vault write auth/oidc/config \
+ oidc_discovery_url="https://gitlab.com" \
+ oidc_client_id="your_application_id" \
+ oidc_client_secret="your_secret" \
+ default_role="demo" \
+ bound_issuer="localhost"
+ ```
+
+ You should see the following output in the terminal:
+
+ ```bash
+ Success! Data written to: auth/oidc/config
+ ```
+
+1. **Write the OIDC Role Config:**
+
+ Now that Vault has a GitLab application ID and secret, it needs to know the [**Redirect URIs**](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt.html#redirect-uris) and scopes given to GitLab during the application creation process. The redirect URIs need to match where your Vault instance is running. The `oidc_scopes` field needs to include the `openid`. Similarly to the previous step, replace `your_application_id` with the generated application ID from GitLab:
+
+ This configuration is saved under the name of the role you are creating. In this case, we are creating a `demo` role. Later, we'll show how you can access this role through the Vault CLI.
+
+ ```bash
+ vault write auth/oidc/role/demo \
+ user_claim="sub" \
+ allowed_redirect_uris="http://localhost:8250/oidc/callback,http://127.0.0.1:8200/ui/vault/auth/oidc/oidc/callback" \
+ bound_audiences="your_application_id" \
+ role_type="oidc" \
+ oidc_scopes="openid" \
+ policies=demo \
+ ttl=1h
+ ```
+
+1. **Sign in to Vault:**
+
+ 1. Go to your Vault UI (example: [http://127.0.0.1:8200/ui/vault/auth?with=oidc](http://127.0.0.1:8200/ui/vault/auth?with=oidc)).
+ 1. If the `OIDC` method is not currently selected, open the dropdown and select it.
+ 1. Click the **Sign in With GitLab** button, which will open a modal window:
+ ![Sign into Vault with GitLab](img/sign_into_vault_with_gitlab_v12_6.png)
+
+ 1. Click **Authorize** on the modal to allow Vault to sign in through GitLab. This will redirect you back to your Vault UI as a signed-in user.
+ ![Authorize Vault to connect with GitLab](img/authorize_vault_with_gitlab_v12_6.png)
+
+1. **Sign in using the Vault CLI** (optional):
+
+ Vault also allows you to sign in via their CLI.
+
+ After writing the same configurations from above, you can run the command below in your terminal to sign in with the role configuration created in step 4 above:
+
+ ```bash
+ vault login -method=oidc port=8250 role=demo
+ ```
+
+ Here is a short explaination of what this command does:
+
+ 1. In the **Write the OIDC Role Config** (step 4), we created a role called `demo`. We set `role=demo` so Vault knows which configuration we'd like to login in with.
+ 1. To set Vault to use the `OIDC` sign-in method, we set `-method=oidc`.
+ 1. To set the port that GitLab should redirect to, we set `port=8250` or another port number that matches the port given to GitLab when listing [Redirect URIs](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt.html#redirect-uris).
+
+ Once you run the command above, it will present a link in the terminal.
+ Click the link in the terminal and a tab will open in the browser confirming you're signed into Vault via OIDC:
+
+ ![Signed into Vault via OIDC](img/signed_into_vault_via_oidc_v12_6.png)
+
+ The terminal will output:
+
+ ```
+ 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.
+ ```
