Feature Summary

We have two credentials types that can use hashicorp vault to retrieve a value from a secret or sign an SSH key certificate, that can be used to connect automatically to a host.

What we lack is a credentials type to allow connection to a hashicorp vault server for use by the playbook. If we could use the current hashicorp vault plugin to provide the VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN env vars, the playbook could then use the ansible lookup hashi_vault seamlessly.

I know I can just define a new credential type to manually provide these vars. But I wish to be able to use some vault authentication methods such as approle which is implemented in the secret lookup and SSH signing credentials types.

Steps to reproduce

• use hashi_vault ansible lookup module in a playbook without having to initialize vault token in it.
• configure a new credentials type Hashicorp Vault token that would expose VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_TOKEN env vars to the playbook, after authenticating to the vault server

Current results

Just not possible, AFAICT.

Sugested feature result

hashi_vault lookup module seamless use.

Additional information

I'm not sure a credentials type can be used to expose env vars, though.
