Backport
This PR is auto-generated from #24275 to be assessed for backporting due to the inclusion of the label backport/1.8.x.
The below text is copied from the body of the original PR.
The locality of Consul tokens we mint via Workload Identity is governed by the Consul auth method configuration. By default tokens are local to the Consul datacenter, which typically maps 1:1 with a Nomad region. Cluster administrators who need cross-datacenter tokens can get them by setting the locality to global, at the risk of placement problems if the primary DC isn't available.
