v1.14.0

Compare Source

1.14.0

June 21, 2023

BREAKING CHANGES:

• secrets/pki: Maintaining running count of certificates will be turned off by default.
  To re-enable keeping these metrics available on the tidy status endpoint, enable
  maintain_stored_certificate_counts on tidy-config, to also publish them to the
  metrics consumer, enable publish_stored_certificate_count_metrics . [GH-18186]

• core: Revert #​19676 (VAULT_GRPC_MIN_CONNECT_TIMEOUT env var) as we decided it was unnecessary. [GH-20826]
• database/couchbase: Updated plugin from v0.9.0 to v0.9.2 [GH-20764]
• database/redis-elasticache: Updated plugin from v0.2.0 to v0.2.1 [GH-20751]
• replication (enterprise): Add a new parameter for the update-primary API call
  that allows for setting of the primary cluster addresses directly, instead of
  via a token.
• secrets/ad: Updated plugin from v0.10.1-0.20230329210417-0b2cdb26cf5d to v0.16.0 [GH-20750]

FEATURES:

• AWS Static Roles: The AWS Secrets Engine can manage static roles configured by users. [GH-20536]
• Automated License Utilization Reporting: Added automated license
  utilization reporting, which sends minimal product-license metering
  data
  to HashiCorp without requiring you to manually collect and report them.
• Environment Variables through Vault Agent: Introducing a new process-supervisor mode for Vault Agent which allows injecting secrets as environment variables into a child process using a new env_template configuration stanza. The process-supervisor configuration can be generated with a new vault agent generate-config helper tool. [GH-20530]

For public-facing Vault instances, we recommend requiring External Account Bindings (EAB) to limit the ability to request certificates to only authenticated clients. [GH-20752]
• Vault Proxy: Introduced Vault Proxy, a new subcommand of the Vault binary that can be invoked using vault proxy -config=config.hcl. It currently has the same feature set as Vault Agent's API proxy, but the two may diverge in the future. We plan to deprecate the API proxy functionality of Vault Agent in a future release. [GH-20548]
