HashiCorp Certified: Vault Associate (002) — Question 35

To make an authenticated request via the Vault HTTP API, which header would you use?

Answer options

• A. The X-Vault-Token HTTP Header
• B. The X-Vault-Request HTTP Header
• C. The Content-Type HTTP Header
• D. The X-Vault-Namespace HTTP Header

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A, as the X-Vault-Token HTTP Header is specifically used for authentication when making requests to the Vault API. Options B, C, and D do not serve the purpose of authentication; they are used for different functionalities within the API and do not provide the necessary token for access.
