Unable to connect to Vault after system comes back from hibernation

  • I’ve installed minikube (running on Docker) + vault 1.14.0 on my macOS (Monterey 12.5.4) for testing and demonstration purpouses.

  • The installation & configuration were completed successfully and eventually, I was able to connect to the Vault and execute all the relevant commands properly.

  • When the system returned from sleep, I couldn’t verify the vault status (got this error message: Error checking seal status: Get “https://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/seal-status”: http: server gave HTTP response to HTTPS client). I couldn’t connect to minikube either.

  • I executed minikube start and then I was able to re-connect to vault. When I tried to execute some of the previous basic commands (as vault auth list or vault policy list) I got the following message:

Error listing policies: Error making API request.

URL: GET http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/policies/acl?list=true
Code: 500. Errors:

  • error performing token check: failed to look up namespace from the token: no namespace

***** Nothing has changed since the system went to sleep and after it came back. Therefore I don’t understand the issue regarding the token.
