[SOLVED] Error making API request when using Vault secrets

Error making API request when using Vault secrets

I am following this tutorial but I don't know why I am getting these permissions errors when I run some vault commands

  vault kv put secret/hello foo=world
    Error making API request.
    
    URL: GET http://127.0.0.1:8200/v1/sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret/hello
    Code: 403. Errors:
    
    * permission denied

For further info...

vault status

Seal Type       shamir

Cluster ID      87956902-532d-dcfd-5e9a-9f1d36207ef4

And the version of my the vault package

vault --version
Vault v1.8.4 (925bc650ad1d997e84fbb832f302a6bfe0105bbb)

I have already exported the Token and the address, so I have no clue what to do next to solve the issue. Can anyone help me out? Thanks in advance.

UPDATES

From the UI I do have access to http://127.0.0.1:8200/ui/vault/ but still having the same issue from the CLI. I even tried vault auth login but nothing changes.

Solution

You must use quotes around the token when exporting it:

export VAULT_TOKEN="s..."
