NimbostratusThank you for posting the configuration article on integrating Vault with the Application Study Tool (AST). The steps you outlined are clear and straightforward, which I really appreciate—especially as someone using Vault for the first time.
That said, I’m still a bit unsure about one part: how exactly do I set the password within Vault that AST will use to access the F5 APIs? I understand the configuration structure, but I’m unclear on how and where I actually input that secret value.

Hi Shaun_B_ , I'm just seeing your comment now. Is it possible for you to reach out to me and I'm happy to walk you through it? That question is more aimed at how to use Vault. Short answer, if you have Vault set up, something like this should work: "vault secrets enable -path=secret -version=2 kv" and then "vault kv put /secret/bigip_password_1/config username=admin password='Sup3rS3cr3tPassw0rd'"

Shaun_B_ , alternatively, reach out to your account rep or SE, and they can reach out to me too. I'm happy to walk you through it. Password Management is important but as network folks, we don't always know those tools deeply.
