How to distribute / Where to store keys that applications need to access HashiCorp Vault

We want to use HashiCorp Vault to save the passwords used by our applications.

What is not clear to me is, how to distribute/ where to store the keys our applications need to access the vault in a secure way.

I think this issue is not addressed by the vault documentation. At least, I couldn’t find it. But clearly, it should be a problem every vault user has to handle.

Can someone give me a hint or provide an external tutorial, please?

Thx in advance!

This is what we call the Secure Introduction problem, and here’s a learn guide on that topic: https://learn.hashicorp.com/vault/identity-access-management/iam-secure-intro
