Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth
After authentication, Vault uses tokens for all subsequent calls. The HashiCorp Vault documentation
states: "After authenticating, a client is issued a service token which is associated with a policy. That
token is used to make all subsequent requests to Vault." Tokens serve as the primary security feature
for authorizing and authenticating requests.
The docs elaborate: "Tokens are the core method for authentication within Vault. Once
authenticated, the client uses this token to access secrets and perform operations according to the
attached policies." Other options like ldap, pgp, path, key shard, and listener are unrelated to this
role. Thus, F is correct.
