External Secrets with HCV - bypass sys/mounts call for key vault path

Feature Requests
1

Hello n8n people,
The title pretty much sums it up, but here is a more extensive explanation of our problem:

**Problem**
n8n tries to access sys/mounts to get the path to the key vault inside Hashicorp Vault (see corresponding line in code). Our approle does not have the rights to access this directory, therefore the query is refused and we cannot setup HCV as an external secret source. We cannot get read access to sys/mounts for our approle per least-privilege policy.

How to reproduce

  1. Have an account on Hashicorp Vault that is managed by someone else.
  2. Setup HCV as an external secret source.
  3. Fails because “Couldn’t list mounts. Please give these credentials ‘read’ access to sys/mounts.
    Request failed with status code 400”

Desired behaviour
Have the option to input the key vault path manually to avoid the query to sys/mounts and the error mentioned beforehand.

Thank you for your help,
Cheers
