Creating and managing the HashiCorp PKI Vault

1. Set up the HashiCorp Vault PKI. For more information, see https://www.vaultproject.io/intro/getting-started.
2. In HashiCorp, set up HashiCorp Vault PKI roles.
3. To create policy for a HashiCorp Vault PKI role, call POST PKI/HashiCorp/Role.
4. To create a HashiCorp Vault PKI application and provision the role to HashiCorp, call POST PKI/HashiCorp/CA.
5. (Optional) To manage roles or the application, use any of the Web SDK methods for the HashiCorp Vault PKI.
