mounting from Vault fails with "invalid role name"

I'm afraid only Kubernetes and JWT methods are supported at the moment: https://developer.hashicorp.com/vault/docs/platform/k8s/csi#authenticating-with-vault. If you still get the same error with those, please do post your SecretProviderClass config alongside the steps you went through to set up Vault and I can help debug further.

I see: so roleName: 'app' apparently led me down the wrong path, namely Vault's approle auth method. But I now see that "The pod's service account must be bound to a Vault role and a policy granting access to the secrets desired" also refers to a Vault role (independently of approle).

I will try again with the kubernetes auth method and will close the issue if/when this succeeds (and if that's okay with you). Thanks for your quick response.
