Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I need to store client certificates for accessing other services in simple manner.

Describe the solution you'd like
APIML should provide a service like Hashicorp Vault, where I can store certificates and passwords securely.

Benefits

  • Centralized solution, each service doesn't have to implement storage on its own.
  • Security
  • Administration. Update using unified service is simpler.
  • Extensibility.
    • e.g. service for certificate verification and maintenance

Describe alternatives you've considered
Keep everything as it is and store everything locally.
