Description
I want to manage my secrets using Spring Cloud Vault. However, the authentication methods in Spring Cloud Vault do not fit my needs(I don't want a static token due to security requirements, and I am not able to use Kubernetes or AWS methods).
I am currently using Keycloak in my app. I was able to integrate Keycloak and Vault independently of my application, and I can connect to the vault with "Sign in with OIDC provider" by using the dynamic tokens produced by Keycloak. However, Spring Cloud Vault does not have a direct authentication method with Keycloak. Do you know how I can use Keycloak or its generated dynamic token as an authentication method on my app(somehow using Approle or any other methods that Spring currently has)? Or does Spring have a plan to use OIDC providers as an authentication method for the Spring Cloud Vault as well in the future?

Research direction
Start by reviewing the existing Spring Cloud Vault authentication methods and the repository's integration points for adding another authentication provider. Compare the requested Keycloak/OIDC flow with the currently supported methods; done would mean a decided implementation or documented support path, with appropriate tests if the project scope is accepted.
