Unable to login to Vault using OIDC auth method via CLI

Vault
1

We have enabled and configured the OIDC auth method for Vault. We can successfully login via the UI but are having issues logging in via the CLI.

$ vault login -method=oidc role=google
Unknown auth method: oidc. Use "vault auth list" to see the complete list of
auth methods. Additionally, some auth methods are only available via the HTTP
API.

$ vault auth list
Path Type Accessor Description
---- ---- -------- -----------
oidc/ oidc auth_oidc_d9627ab1 n/a
token/ token auth_token_d1d965f7 token based credentials

$ env | grep -i vault
VAULT_ADDR=https://vault.foo.com

Hi. What do you get when you run vault version, which returns the version of the CLI that’s running (as opposed to vault status which pings the server)? The -method resolution is done in the CLI so I suspect you are calling an old (pre 1.1.0, I think) version that doesn’t know about OIDC.

Thank you @kalafut, you were exactly right. The CLI version was prior to 1.1.0 (1.0.2). Downloading the latest CLI binaries solved my issue.

Thank you for your time!
