# Auto-auth method: LDAP
|
|
|
|
The `ldap` method reads in a password from a file and sends it to the [LDAP Auth
|
|
method](/vault/docs/auth/ldap).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- `password_file_path` `(string: required)` - The path to the password file
|
|
|
|
- `username` `(string: required)` - The username to authenticate against on Vault
|
|
|
|
- `remove_password_after_reading` `(bool: optional, defaults to true)` -
|
|
This can be set to `false` to disable the default behavior of removing the
|
|
password after it's been read.
|
|
|
|
- `remove_password_follows_symlinks` `(bool: optional, defaults to false)` -
|
|
This can be set to `true` to follow symlinks when removing the password after
|
|
it has been read when executing the `remove_password_after_reading` behaviour.
|
|
If set to false, it will delete the symlink, not the password file. Does
|
|
nothing if `remove_password_after_reading` is false.
|
|
|
|
- `password_read_period` `(duration: "0.5s", optional)` - The duration after which
|
|
auto-auth will attempt to read the password stored at `password_file_path`.
|
|
Defaults to `1m` if `remove_password_after_reading` is set to `true`, or `0.5s`
|
|
otherwise. Uses [duration format
|
|
strings](/vault/docs/concepts/duration-format).
