Description

Previously, when a static role rotation failed, we would store the password in the WAL entry. Upon retries, this same stored password would be reused. This leads customers to infinite loop cases where a failing password is infinitely retried.

This PR adds a fix which will generate a new credential and delete the existing WAL entry if it has failed on a retry. This will unblock customers until we can provide them with more control over their password policies so that password rotation failures don't happen as often.

  • Backport Labels: If this fix needs to be backported, use the appropriate backport/ label that matches the desired release branch. Note that in the CE repo, the latest release branch will look like backport/x.x.x, but older release branches will be backport/ent/x.x.x+ent.
    • LTS: If this fixes a critical security vulnerability or severity 1 bug, it will also need to be backported to the current LTS versions of Vault. To ensure this, use all available enterprise labels.
  • ENT Breakage: If this PR either 1) removes a public function OR 2) changes the signature
    of a public function, even if that change is in a CE file, double check that
    applying the patch for this PR to the ENT repo and running tests doesn't
    break any tests. Sometimes ENT only tests rely on public functions in CE
    files.
  • Jira: If this change has an associated Jira, it's referenced either
    in the PR description, commit message, or branch name.
  • RFC: If this change has an associated RFC, please link it in the description.
  • ENT PR: If this change has an associated ENT PR, please link it in the
    description. Also, make sure the changelog is in this PR, not in your ENT PR.

Should we also generate a new Private Key credential if one fails? Or should the fix be focussed to password specific?
