defaults to <code class="literal">spring.application.name</code> that is statically configured.
The second token is the UserId which is a part determined by the application,
usually related to the runtime environment. IP address, Mac address or a
Docker container name are good examples. Spring Cloud Vault Config supports
IP address, Mac address and static UserId&#8217;s (e.g. supplied via System properties).

authentication mechanism for AWS IAM roles, allowing the automatic authentication with
vault based on the current IAM role of the running application.
Unlike most Vault authentication backends, this backend
does not require first-deploying, or provisioning security-sensitive
credentials (tokens, username/password, client certificates, etc.).
Instead, it treats AWS as a Trusted Third Party and uses the
4 pieces of information signed by the caller with their IAM credentials
to verify that the caller is indeed using that IAM role.</p><p>The current IAM role the application is running in is automatically calculated.
If you are running your application on AWS ECS then the application
will use the IAM role assigned to the ECS task of the running container.
If you are running your application naked on top of an EC2 instance then
the IAM role used will be the one assigned to the EC2 instance.</p><p>When using the AWS-IAM authentication you must create a role in Vault
and assign it to your IAM role. An empty <code class="literal">role</code> defaults to
the friendly name the current IAM role.</p><div class="example"><a name="d0e836" href="#d0e836"></a><p class="title"><b>Example&nbsp;3.11.&nbsp;bootstrap.yml with required AWS-IAM Authentication properties</b></p><div class="example-contents"><pre class="programlisting"><span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-attribute">spring.cloud.vault</span>:

a Vault server by setting spring.cloud.vault.discovery.enabled=true (default <code class="literal">false</code>).
The net result of that is that your apps need a bootstrap.yml (or an environment variable)
with the appropriate discovery configuration.
The benefit is that the Vault can change its co-ordinates, as long as the discovery service
is a fixed point. The default service id is <code class="literal">vault</code> but you can change that on the client with
<code class="literal">spring.cloud.vault.discovery.serviceId</code>.</p><p>The discovery client implementations all support some kind of metadata map
(e.g. for Eureka we have eureka.instance.metadataMap). Some additional properties of the service
may need to be configured in its service registration metadata so that clients can connect
correctly. Service registries that do not provide details about transport layer security
need to provide a <code class="literal">scheme</code> metadata entry to be set either to <code class="literal">https</code> or <code class="literal">http</code>.
If no scheme is configured and the service is not exposed as secure service, then
configuration defaults to <code class="literal">spring.cloud.vault.scheme</code> which is <code class="literal">https</code> when it&#8217;s not set.</p><div class="informalexample"><pre class="programlisting"><span xmlns:d="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" class="hl-attribute">spring.cloud.vault.discovery</span>:

the creation of login tokens and secrets. That said,
login tokens and secrets associated with a lease
