Answer

This error usually occurs when the vault token is either missing or incorrect within the ISSUER_KEY_STORE_TOKEN environment variable in the .env-issuer file. To fix this issue, check the issuer-vault logs for the current token value using docker logs issuer-vault-1 and ensure the .env-issuer file is updated with the correct token.

Wrong answer:

Ignoring vault token discrepancies or attempting to bypass vault security protocols can lead to significant security vulnerabilities and should be avoided.
