HashiCorp Vault Secrets Engine - Qdrant plugin

vault-plugin-secrets-qdrant is a Hashicorp Vault plugin that extends Vault with a secrets engine for Qdrant for JWT auth.

It is capable of generating Qdrant credentials/JWT signed tokens with granular access control.

The roles are stored in Vault and can be revoked at any time.

The generated JWT tokens are ephemeral and stateless; they are not stored in a vault but can be bound to roles and invalidated when the role is deleted.

The plugin is also able to create/update/delete roles data to a Qdrant servers

Features

• Support multi-instance configurations
• Allow management of Token TTL per instance and/or role
• Push role changes (create/update/delete) to Qdrant server
• Generate and sign JWT tokens based on instance and role parameters
• Allow provision of custom claims (access and filters) for roles
• Support TLS and custom CA to connect to Qdrant server

Getting Started

The Qdrant secrets engine generates JWT credentials dynamically.

The plugin supports several resources, including: config, role and jwt.

Please read the official Qdrant documentation to understand the concepts of token and access as well as the authentication process.

A hand full of resources can be defined within the vault plugin:

Config

The resource of type config represent database instance configuration for secrets.

Entity path	Description	Operations
qdrant/config	List instances	list
qdrant/config/	Manage instance config	write, read, delete

Role

The resource of type role represent database roles configuration for secrets.

Entity path	Description	Operations
qdrant/role/	List roles for	list
qdrant/role//	Manage instance role config	write, read, delete

JWT

The resource of type jwt represent database JWT tokens.

Entity path	Description	Operations
qdrant/jwt//	Generate token for role	read

⚙️ Configuration

There are arguments that can be passed to the paths for config/ (database instance), role/.

Config

Key	Type	Required	Example	Description
url	bool	true	qdrant:6334	URL address of Qdrant instance (grpc protocol)
sig_key	string	true	secret-key	Secret key to sign and verify(API-KEY server) tokens.
sig_alg	string	true	HS256	Algorithm to decode the tokens.
jwt_ttl	string	true	300s	Default TTL for instance tokens (can be overwritten in roles)
tls	bool	false	true	If set to true - vault will open tls grpc connection to Qdrant
ca	string	false	eyJhbGc...	Base64 encoded custom CA cert for TLS

Note: When you delete an instance configuration, all associated roles will be automatically deleted from the Qdrant instance.

Role

Key	Type	Required	Example	Description
jwt_ttl	string	false	300s	TTL for instance tokens
claims	json	true		Access and filters attributes (see Qdrant doc)

Note: Vault roles sync with Qdrant instance collection sys_roles automatically

claims example

{
    "claims":{
        "value_exists": {
            "collection": "sys_roles",
            "matches": [
            { "key": "role", "value": "write2" }
            ]
        },
        "access": [
            {
            "collection": "my_collection",
            "access": "r"
            }
        ]
    }
}

🎯 Installation and Setup

In order to use this plugin you need to register it with Vault. Configure your vault server to have a valid plugins_directory configuration.

Note: you might want to set api_addr to your listening address and disable_mlock to true in the vault configuration to be able to use the plugin.

Install from release

Download the latest stable release from the release page and put it into the plugins_directory of your vault server.

To use a vault plugin you need the plugin's sha256 sum.

Example how to register the plugin:

SHA256SUM=$(sha256sum vault-plugin-secrets-qdrant | cut -d' ' -f1)
vault plugin register -sha256 ${SHA256SUM} secret vault-plugin-secrets-qdrant
vault secrets enable -path=qdrant vault-plugin-secrets-qdrant

Note: you might use the -tls-skip-verify flag if you are using a self-signed certificate.
