Getting Started

This is a [Vault plugin](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/plugins) and is meant to work with Vault. This guide assumes you have already installed Vault and have a basic understanding of how Vault works.

To learn specifically about how plugins work, see documentation on [Vault plugins](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/plugins).

Please see [documentation for the plugin](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/auth/jwt) on the Vault website.

This plugin is currently built into Vault and by default is accessed at `auth/jwt`. To enable this in a running Vault server:

$ vault auth enable jwt

To see all the supported paths, see the [JWT auth backend docs](https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/auth/jwt).
