KV Secrets Engines¶
The vaultx.api.secrets_engines.Kv instance under the Client class's secrets.kv attribute is a wrapper
to expose either version 1 (KvV1) or version 2 of the key/value secrets engines’ API methods (KvV2).
At present, this class defaults to version 2 when accessing methods on the instance.
Setting the Default KV Version¶
import vaultx
client = vaultx.Client()
client.secrets.kv.default_kv_version = 1
client.secrets.kv.read_secret(path='vaultx') # => calls vaultx.api.secrets_engines.KvV1.read_secret
Explicitly Calling a KV Version Method¶
import vaultx
client = vaultx.Client()
client.secrets.kv.v1.read_secret(path='vaultx')
client.secrets.kv.v2.read_secret_version(path='vaultx')
