vault agent ldap authentication support password from env

[nwsparks]

Describe the solution you'd like

The ldap agent should be able to source the password from the environment variable VAULT_LDAP_PASSWORD which is supported by the cli vault login...

It would also be helpful to document the format of how the password file should look.

Could you please provide more information about your configuration and which version of Vault you're using? If you can provide this via the issue templates, that'd help. Thanks!

@heatherezell thanks, it's a feature request not a question. this issue is present in all versions of the cli.

with the vault CLI you can store the password in the environment via VAULT_LDAP_PASSWORD which vault login -method=ldap will read from.

however attempting to use the vault agent via the cli, vault agent -config ~/.vault-agent.hcl it does not respect that environment variable and requires you to store the password in a file.
