The vault key is used to encrypt "internal" data that is sensitive and
should not be exposed to e.g the database admin. Such data is, for
example, the password that is used to ship a server generated key to the
user. I would NOT recommend to use a plain password as anybody with
access to the server might be able to extract private keys from the
workflows (only while they are in certain states) but it would be fine
if you use the same password group as for the signature token.
