--------------------------------------------------------------

At a simplistic level, this is like changing a system property at runtime, but in reality everything that is configured with these properties has to be restarted, such as datasources, ldap, etc... Which would not be recommended to do at runtime when these resources are likely being actively used and changing without restart where it basically restarts everything using it seems like it does not gain that much.

Datasources and ldap configuration are a couple of areas which would need to be investigated to restart and anything that uses those.

> When a new vault string is created the affected servers in the domain have to be restarted before the encrypted value is applied. This makes it difficult to test a new configuration in CLI.
