===== Multiple Properties Sources
|
||||
|
||||
When using Vault you can provide your applications with multiple properties sources.
|
||||
For example, assume you have written data to the following paths in Vault.
|
||||
|
||||
[source,sh]
|
||||
----

secret/myApp,dev
|
||||
secret/myApp
|
||||
secret/application,dev
|
||||
secret/application
|
||||
----
|
||||
|
||||
Properties written to `secret/application` are available to
|
||||
<<_vault_server,all applications using the Config Server>>. An
|
||||
application with the name `myApp` would have any properties
|
||||
written to `secret/myApp` and `secret/application` available to it.
|
||||
When `myApp` has the `dev` profile enabled than properties written to
|
||||
all of the above paths would be available to it, with properties in
|
||||
the first path in the list taking priority over the others.

|

with file names in `application*` are shared between all client

===== Vault Server
|
||||
|
||||
When using Vault as a backend you can share configuration with
|
||||
all applications by placing configuration in
|

`{backend}/application`. For example, if you run this Vault command
