In HashiCorp Vault, thedefault TTL (Time To Live)for tokens, when not explicitly specified, is768 hours, equivalent to32 days. This applies to both the initial TTL and the maximum TTL unless overridden.
Default Configuration: The documentation states: "When no specific TTL is provided, a generated token will inherit the default TTL which is 768 hours (32 days)." This long default ensures usability in many scenarios while allowing customization.
Customization Option: Operators can adjust this using commands like vault write sys/mounts/auth/token/tune default_lease_ttl=1h max_lease_ttl=24h, but without such tuning, 768 hours applies.
Incorrect Options:
A. 24 hours: Too short for Vault’s default; it’s a common custom setting instead.
B. 15 minutes: Far too brief and not aligned with Vault’s defaults.
D. 60 minutes: Another common custom value, not the default.
This default balances usability with security, encouraging explicit configuration for shorter-lived tokens when needed.
