Description
Add support to request SSL certificates from Vault's PKI backend. Certificates can be issued on demand by using a role.
The generated certificate and the issuing CA certificate need to be stored in a Truststore (Keystore) and the private key in a Keystore. Vault should be used as intermediate CA, so the Truststore should contain the Root CA certificate that should be configured along the certificate request properties.
Config parameters for requesting certificates:
- common-name
- alt-names
- ip-sans
Other required parameters:
- Root certificate
Challenges:
- Public key pinning: Preserve the generated certificate/key pair during its validity period. This is to prevent multiple apps running behind a common endpoint address to use different certificates.
