Interface VaultPkiOperations

All Known Implementing Classes:
VaultPkiTemplate

public interface VaultPkiOperations
Interface that specifies PKI backend-related operations.

The PKI secret backend for Vault generates X.509 certificates dynamically based on configured roles. This means services can get certificates needed for both client and server authentication without going through the usual manual process of generating a private key and CSR, submitting to a CA, and waiting for a verification and signing process to complete. Vault's built-in authentication and authorization mechanisms provide the verification functionality.
