RWX

Tasks authenticate as the vault their token came from.

Tasks authenticate as the vault their token came from.

What proves the identity

The token has to come from https://cloud.rwx.com/mint, and its sub claim has to match the workload you named. penv compares that claim byte for byte, with no wildcards.

Every token also has to name your workspace as its audience. Ask for this audience and no other. A token requested for two audiences fails every exchange.

What the console asks for

FieldExampleAdvancedWhat it pins
Subjectacme-productionnoThe value the Vault UI prints. Every task that can read this vault authenticates as it.

The console also asks which project and environment this identity reaches and which role it gets, with the credential lifetime behind Advanced.

What the trust holds

Built from the example answers above:

WhatValue
Issuerhttps://cloud.rwx.com/mint
Claim comparedsub
Subjectacme-production
Identity namerwx-acme-production

penv names the identity for you, so the form never asks for one.

The snippet the console prints

# The token's audience is set in the RWX Vault UI: YOUR_WORKSPACE_ID
- key: penv
  run: |
    T='${{ vaults.your-vault.oidc.your-token-name }}'
    C=$(curl -sS "https://penv.cloud/api/v1/auth/oidc" \
      -H 'content-type: application/json' \
      -d "{\"token\":\"$T\"}" | jq -r .credential)
    PENV_TOKEN="$C" penv pull

The snippet finishes with penv pull, which writes a file. penv run is the path the docs teach for a process, and penv pull is for a host that needs a file on disk. Connect your CI has the wrapped step.
