The approle auth method allows machines or apps to authenticate with RustyVault-defined roles. The open design of AppRole enables a varied set of workflows and configurations to handle large numbers of apps. This auth method is oriented to automated workflows (machines and services), and is less useful for human operators. We recommend using batch tokens with the AppRole auth method.
An "AppRole" represents a set of RustyVault policies and login constraints that must be met to receive a token with those policies. The scope can be as narrow or broad as desired. An AppRole can be created for a particular machine, or even a particular user on that machine, or a service spread across machines. The credentials required for successful login depend upon the constraints set on the AppRole associated with the credentials.
