SOLUTION OVERVIEW
The Venafi-Vault Wizard reads a declarative HCL configuration file that describes your Vault and Venafi environment, then connects to Vault to install and configure the Venafi plugins (such as the Venafi PKI secrets engine and PKI monitor). It downloads and registers the plugin binaries, enables and configures the secrets engines, sets up the roles and Venafi zones, and runs verification checks against Venafi Certificate Manager, SaaS. This turns a multi-step manual process into an automated, repeatable workflow and reduces the chance of misconfiguration.
