Error checking seal status: Error making API request

Vault
1

Hi guys,

I have installed consul and I have installed vault and both service running fine.

But, when I try to initialize vault:

root@vault1:/etc# vault status
Error checking seal status: Error making API request.

URL: GET http://10.14.80.140:8200/v1/sys/seal-status
Code: 403. Raw Message:

ERROR: The requested URL could not be retrieved

Is this some firewall issue? Can somebody help me with it?

Thanks in advance,
Dusko

set no_proxy fixed it…

btw, if I can access root@vault1:~# curl http://localhost:8500/ui/dc1/services but from web browser I can not access it, what might me issue? Firewall rules maybe? Vault also can not access GUI, but from cli looks ok, with the curl command.

Is the UI issue Consul or Vault? Guessing Consul based on :8500?

Looks like you are on a Vault node, is Consul installed on the same node/server/container or a separate one? If Consul isn’t installed on vault1 then localhost would not be valid.

If it is on the same node, do you have the UI for Consul enabled:

Hi Jonathan,

I have fixed it…
Anyway, now I want to allow gitlab to access vault, and I have issue:

root@vault1:~# vault write auth/jwt/config
jwks_url=“https://gitlab1.test.skidata.com/-/jwks”
bound_issuer=“gitlab1.test.skidata.com”
Error writing data to auth/jwt/config: Error making API request.

URL: PUT http://10.14.80.140:8200/v1/auth/jwt/config
Code: 400. Errors:

Is there clear step by step instruction how to do that?

Thanks in advance!

We don’t have full tutorials for every platform, but check out:

You’ll have to make changes for GitLab.

Also - when we hitting the slopes together? :slight_smile:
