## Features

- **Zero Code Changes**: Works transparently with existing MLflow applications
- **Multiple Providers**: HashiCorp Vault, AWS Secrets Manager, Azure Key Vault
- **Security First**: Host allowlisting, credential redaction, in-memory caching only
- **Production Ready**: Automatic retries, TTL-based caching, comprehensive logging

## Quick Start

```bash
# Install with your preferred provider
pip install mlflow-secrets-auth[vault]

# Configure for HashiCorp Vault
export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.company.com"
export VAULT_TOKEN="your-vault-token"
export MLFLOW_VAULT_SECRET_PATH="secret/mlflow/auth"
export MLFLOW_SECRETS_AUTH_ENABLE="vault"

# Activate the plugin in MLflow (required)
export MLFLOW_TRACKING_AUTH="mlflow_secrets_auth"

# Your MLflow code works unchanged
import mlflow
mlflow.set_tracking_uri("https://mlflow.company.com")
mlflow.start_run()  # Authentication happens automatically
```

## Demo

Try the complete working example with Vault + MLflow + Nginx:

```bash
git clone https://github.com/hugodscarvalho/mlflow-secrets-auth
cd mlflow-secrets-auth/examples/vault-nginx-mlflow
make demo

This demo shows the plugin working end-to-end with a real MLflow server protected by authentication.
