ArgoCD and Vault Integration Issue: Unresolved Error in Admin Interface about kubic HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi,

This looks like ArgoCD cannot access to the vault with the kube authentication.

Did you play the terraform init, followed by terraform plan, then terraform apply in the vault directory after the ./init.sh from the Hashicorp Vault step ?

It will create the key/value vault, the kubernetes vault authentication, and the default policy.

This authentication allows all ArgoCD apps to access to the vault with the default policy kv/*.

If you already performed the terraform init and so on, do you have :

• The secret for the default kube auth : kubect get secret default-vault-credentials -n argocd ?

• And in the Vault :

$ kubectl exec -it statefulset.apps/hashicorp-vault -n hashicorp-vault -- sh
/ $ vault login
Token (will be hidden): xxx

• The kubernetes auth ?

/ $ vault auth list
Path           Type          Accessor                    Description                Version
----           ----          --------                    -----------                -------
[...]
kubernetes/    kubernetes    auth_kubernetes_xxxxx    n/a                        n/a
[...]

• The kv secret vault ?

/ $ vault secrets list
Path          Type         Accessor              Description

I simply didn't complete the last step of the vault setup, which is done through Terraform. I was thrown off by the note that said 'This part is not mandatory.', and I just skipped it. However, it's a crucial step, as without it, no application in ArgoCD will work
