Hi Team,

I want to store the vault token in a secure manner.
I am trying use Vault Agent.
But,
I got to know, vault agent in keeping the vault token in plain text format.

Ensure you are setting file permissions correctly so that only the allowed application & Vault Agent can read the token/secret files.
