Description

Hello,

It could be very usefull and compliant with lot of security levels to add the support of certificate managers/keystores as plugin or embded providers.

As common keystores we could start with :

  • jks (java keystore)
  • pfx (alias PKCS#12, windows certificate export format)
  • Windows certificate store (where are stored already installed certificates)
  • AWS cloud HSM
  • Azure Key Vault

I know we could delegate it to a reverse proxy with already these capabilities, but for a full in transit encryption compliance it can be a nightmare.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the exporter-toolkit package and clarifying the proposed plugin or embedded-provider scope with maintainers. Compare the requested JKS, PKCS#12, Windows certificate store, AWS Cloud HSM, and Azure Key Vault support, then define which providers and acceptance criteria are in scope before implementation.
