# Vault Agent Auto-Auth JWT Method
|
|
|
|
The `jwt` method reads in a JWT from a file and sends it to the [JWT Auth
|
|
method](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/jwt.html). Since JWTs often have
|
|
limited lifetime, it constantly watches for a new JWT to be written, and when
|
|
found it will immediately ingress this value, delete the file, and use the new
|
|
JWT to perform a reauthentication.
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- `path` `(string: required)` - The path to the JWT file
|
|
|
|
- `role` `(string: required)` - The role to authenticate against on Vault
