Which Vault secret engine may be used to build your own internal certificate authority?

Show Suggested Answer Hide Answer
Suggested Answer: B

The Vault secret engine that can be used to build your own internal certificate authority is the PKI secret engine. The PKI secret engine generates dynamic X.509 certificates on-demand, without requiring manual processes of generating private keys and CSRs, submitting to a CA, and waiting for verification and signing. The PKI secret engine can act as a root CA or an intermediate CA, and can issue certificates for various purposes, such as TLS, code signing, email encryption, etc. The PKI secret engine can also manage the certificate lifecycle, such as rotation, revocation, renewal, and CRL generation. The PKI secret engine can also integrate with external CAs, such as Venafi or Entrust, to delegate the certificate issuance and management.Reference:PKI - Secrets Engines | Vault | HashiCorp Developer,Build Your Own Certificate Authority (CA) | Vault - HashiCorp Learn

Hah, I bet the person who wrote this question is just trying to trip us up. They're probably hoping we'll get distracted by all the other shiny secret engine options.

Ha, true that. Gotta stay focused and not get too fancy. I'm going with B) PKI for this one.

Yeah, I agree. The PKI engine is the one that allows you to build your own internal certificate authority, right? I remember covering that in the training materials.

You know, you might be onto something there. Transit does have some certificate management capabilities. But I'm pretty confident the PKI engine is the one specifically designed for that purpose.
