Vault database secrets engine ignores non-default port - hashicorp-vault

Question

I am trying to configure the database secrets engine in vault for dynamic credentials generation. During which even though I have provided the custom valid port for SQL server, looks like vault is picking up the default port (by ignoring the custom port) provided in a command.
Please refer to the capture
Could somebody help in configuring the vault database secret engine to use custom port.

I'm not sure why you're using a backslash in your database URL, but you are putting the port in the wrong place - it needs to come immediately after the domain portion of the URL (and before the path). Instead of
connection_url='sqlserver://{{username}}:{{password}}#localhost\sql2017:64062'
try
connection_url='sqlserver://{{username}}:{{password}}#localhost:64062/sql2017'
