This feature goes against the purpose of the secretsmanager and the vaultctl client, which is to avoid storing real passwords on the filesystem and to use short-lived tokens instead, in order to reduce the risk of password leaks.

I need a reliable solution that allows me to mass deploy Jenkins instances without an interactive password prompt. Only relying on a cached access token has proven unreliable. Please provide an alternative solution.

It is reliable: tokens expire only after 8 hours. This was verified yesterday during a test.

Controls in Jiro should be improved by using vaultctl status.
