I've looked at dogtag approx. two years ago. The use of LDAP was, uumh, somewhat strange:
Ouch, nah that doesn’t make much sense :(.
Do anyone know of any other product/project (open source preferred, but not a requirement) that can do the same - provide certificates programatically?
We had a module for OpenLDAP 2.0, way back when. It hasn't been maintained in years.

Ok, I see :(. What did that do exactly? Name?
Sorry for the OT (although it’s _slightly_ relevant to OpenLDAP I guess).
But how do people handle secrets (key/value, certificates etc) in a cloud environment? With bare metal, you usually don’t spinup/down machines that often, so distributing stuff like that is “easy”. But with the cloud and “resources are cattle, not pets”, how to do that there!?
This have been racking my brain (and several of my friends and colleagues) for months now!
I’m using OpenLDAP and MIT Kerberos V for users and passwords, but I’m not sure how I could (if I should) utilise that to keep “secrets”.
I’ve looked at Hashicorp Vault, but that’s extremely immature and not any where near ready a “production” environment (not to mention that it lacks very important functions etc).
Dogtag is apparently good enough (although huge - might not need all that functionality), but maintaining an additional LDAP/KerberosV setup is seriously unappealing!
But what else is there?

EJBCA (Enterprise Java Beans Certificate Authority), but it is just as "heavy" as DogTag. Personally, the java bloat is what turns me off to it. not much else is available as open source.

Yeah, i’m not to fond of Java stuff either.
I’m not sure I dare ask, but know of any commercial products?
