+
+**Changes**:
+- Added `hashicorp-vault` to secrets manager provider enum
+- Updated factory classes to instantiate HashiCorp Vault managers
+- Added `hvac>=1.0.0` dependency to Python setup
+
+### 5. Generated Models
+**File**: `ingestion/src/metadata/generated/schema/security/credentials/hashiCorpVaultCredentials.py`
+
+- Auto-generated Python models from JSON schema
+- Pydantic-based validation
+- Type-safe enum definitions for auth methods and KV versions
+
+### 6. Unit Tests

+- Migration instructions
+
+## Configuration Examples
+
+### Server Configuration (openmetadata.yaml)
+```yaml
+secretsManagerConfiguration:
+  secretsManager: hashicorp-vault
+  parameters:
+    url: "https://vault.example.com:8200"
+    token: "hvs.CAESIJ..."
+    authMethod: "token"
+    mountPoint: "secret"
+    kvVersion: 2
+    verifySsl: true
+    timeout: 30
+```
+
+### Airflow Configuration (airflow.cfg)
+```ini
+[secrets]
+vault_url = https://vault.example.com:8200
+vault_token = your-vault-token
+vault_auth_method = token
+vault_mount_point = secret
+vault_kv_version = 2
+```
+
+### Environment Variables
+```bash
+export VAULT_URL="https://vault.example.com:8200"
+export VAULT_TOKEN="your-vault-token"
+export VAULT_AUTH_METHOD="token"
+export VAULT_MOUNT_POINT="secret"
+export VAULT_KV_VERSION="2"
+```
+
+## Authentication Methods
+
+### 1. Token Authentication
+- Direct token-based authentication
+- Suitable for development and simple deployments
+
+### 2. AppRole Authentication
+- Role-based authentication for automated systems
+- Uses role_id and secret_id credentials
+- Recommended for production deployments
+
+### 3. AWS Authentication
+- IAM role-based authentication for AWS environments
+- Automatic credential detection from EC2 metadata
+
+### 4. Kubernetes Authentication
+- Service account token-based authentication
+- Ideal for Kubernetes deployments
+
+### 5. UserPass Authentication

+- Integration with existing user directories
+
+### 6. LDAP Authentication
+- LDAP directory authentication
+- Enterprise directory integration
+
+## KV Secrets Engine Support
