Use case

Automated PKI infrastructure

Quickly create X.509 certificates on demand and reduce the manual overhead.

Challenge

Creating, rotating, and managing certificates is cumbersome and time consuming

Organizations should protect their infrastructure. However, traditional PKI process workflow takes a long time, which motivates organizations to create certificates which do not expire for a year or more.

Solution

Generate and rotate certificates on demand with Vault

Vault's PKI secrets engine can dynamically generate X.509 certificates on demand. This allows services to acquire certificates without going through the usual manual process of generating a private key and Certificate Signing Request (CSR), submitting to a Certificate Authority (CA), and then waiting for the verification and signing process to complete.
