I am trying to configure a Percona server for mysql to encrypt the data using keyring \_vault\_plugin.  
I followed the instructions of this link:

[URL=“[https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/LATEST/management/data\_at\_rest\_encryption.html](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-server/LATEST/management/data_at_rest_encryption.html)”][https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-...ncryption.html[/URL]](https://www.percona.com/doc/percona-...ncryption.html%5B/URL%5D)

but when creating a table:

CREATE TABLE t1 (c1 INT, PRIMARY KEY pk (c1)) ENCRYPTION = ‘KEYRING’ ENCRYPTION\_KEY\_ID = 1;

I get the following error:  
“Seems that keyring is down. It is not possible to create encrypted tables without keyring. Please install a keyring and try again.”

How can I configure the keyring in the vault server in order to encrypt the data in percona
