Additional Authentication methods for Secret Store

Current Secret store in UCD supports connection to Vault with RoleId bases authentication.

Our organization Hashicorp Vault implementation does not support RoleID based authentication but supports below authentication methods:

https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/auth/cert

https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/auth/jwt

Hence we wanted to check if UCD Secret Store functionality can be enhanced to support above listed authentication methods.

    Hi Shubbada, implementing both JWT and TLS certificate would require a significant amount of effort. We can deliver one of these per your request. The other can be for a future release. Please let us know which one would you like to be given priority for an upcoming release?

    Hi Shubhada, can you please help us with your preference on which authentication method you would prefer more? We are planning to implement at least one of these options that you listed (TLS certificates auth, JWT/OIDC auth). Please let us know.
