This is a follow-up to our initial work[0] to address RFC-5952 §4 conformance for IPv6 addresses in Vault. The initial pass focused on the vault server configuration and start-up routines. This follow-up focuses on Agent and Proxy, with a few minor improvements for server. The approach generally mirrors the server implementation but also adds support for normalization with CLI configuration overrides. One aspect we do not normalize currently is Agent/Proxy client creation to the Vault server with credentials taken from environment variables, as it would require larger changes to the `api` module. In practice this ought to be fine for the majority of cases. [0]: https://github.com/hashicorp/vault/pull/29228 |

Vault Agent
Vault Agent is a client daemon that provides Auth-Auth, Caching, and Template features.
Vault Agent provides a number of different helper features, specifically addressing the following challenges:
- Automatic authentication
- Secure delivery/storage of tokens
- Lifecycle management of these tokens (renewal & re-authentication)
See the usage documentation on the Vault website here:
