# Vault Agent Auto-Auth Kubernetes Method
|
|
|
|
The `kubernetes` method reads in a Kubernetes service account token from the
|
|
running pod (via `/var/run/secrets/kubernetes.io/serviceaccount/token`) and
|
|
sends it to the [Kubernetes Auth
|
|
method](https://www.vaultproject.io/docs/auth/kubernetes.html).
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
- `role` `(string: required)` - The role to authenticate against on Vault
|
|
- `token_path` `(string: optional)` - The file path to a custom JWT token to use
|
|
for authentication. If omitted, the default service account token path is used.
|
|
|
