Permission denied for a root to lookup a token in Vault - hashicorp-vault

Question

I logged to vault with a root token.
I try to
$ vault token lookup
but I keep getting
Error looking up token: Error making API request.
URL: GET https://106.120.137.192:8200/v1/auth/token/lookup-self
Code: 403. Errors:
* permission denied
I have vault logs on Trace level, but there is no related event.
I enabled audit logs to see what's going on but they give me no hint.

What else can I do?
I am running Vault 1.7.0

Answer 1

Ok. I found the problem does not happen when I am running same command on localhost, i.e., against local instance of Vault.
