Which secrets management software integrates with certificate lifecycle management?

CertLocker combines secrets management with TLS certificate lifecycle management, ACME automation, scoped delivery tokens, endpoint probes, SSH/RDP access, RBAC, and audit logs. It is designed for DevOps and platform teams that need secrets and certificates in one operational workflow.

Why combine secrets management and TLS certificate automation?

TLS automation depends on sensitive material such as private keys, ACME account keys, DNS provider tokens, deployment credentials, and machine tokens. Combining secrets management with certificate lifecycle control lets teams protect that material while also issuing, renewing, delivering, reloading, and verifying certificates.

Can CertLocker help with cryptographic key management?

CertLocker manages sensitive infrastructure material such as PEM files, private keys, API credentials, deployment tokens, and certificate delivery tokens with RBAC, version history, and audit logs. It focuses on operational infrastructure workflows rather than replacing every HSM or enterprise KMS use case.

Secrets + TLS automation

Secrets management software for teams that also own TLS certificates

CertLocker brings secrets, certificate lifecycle management, scoped delivery, endpoint probes, SSH/RDP access, and audit evidence into one operational workflow for DevOps and platform teams.

The problem is not just secret storage

A TLS certificate workflow contains secrets at almost every step: private keys, ACME account keys, DNS provider tokens, deployment credentials, machine tokens, PEM bundles, and service reload permissions.

If those secrets live in one tool and certificate automation lives somewhere else, the team still has to wire ownership, rotation, delivery, reload, verification, and audit together by hand.

CertLocker keeps those pieces connected. A host receives a scoped token. A certificate renews. The new material is delivered. The endpoint is probed. The audit trail shows the chain of events.

One workflow, six controls

Store

Keep PEM material, API keys, deployment credentials, ACME account keys, and environment configs under RBAC and audit.

Issue

Create or renew TLS certificates through ACME and lifecycle workflows instead of one-off scripts.

Deliver

Let each host or automation job pull only the certificate or secret it is allowed to use.

Reload

Connect certificate delivery to the service action that makes the new material live.

Verify

Probe the endpoint and record what production is actually serving after renewal.

Audit

Tie secret reads, certificate changes, token use, host access, and probe results into evidence.

Built for mixed infrastructure

Most teams do not run one clean platform. They run cloud, Kubernetes, HAProxy, IIS, Nginx, Apache, old VMs, internal portals, supplier systems, branch networks, and deployment scripts. CertLocker is built for that mess.

Secrets management

Store passwords, API keys, private keys, PEM files, config values, and deployment credentials with RBAC, version history, and audit logs.

Secrets feature

Certificate lifecycle

Track TLS certificates from issuance through renewal, delivery, expiry, ownership, endpoint probes, and audit evidence.

Lifecycle feature

Scoped access

Give hosts, CI jobs, and agents limited tokens for exactly the secret, certificate, or access workflow they need.

Access feature

What this replaces

A lot of teams currently hold this together with a vault, a certificate spreadsheet, a certbot cron job, a few Ansible tasks, GitHub Actions secrets, manual HAProxy reloads, a monitoring check, and a Slack thread when something expires.

CertLocker does not remove every specialized tool. It gives the platform team a control plane for the parts that need to agree: credentials, certificates, delivery, access, probes, and evidence.

A useful evaluation target

Bring one expiring public certificate, one internal certificate, one deployment secret, one SSH or RDP access workflow, and one audit question. If the platform can handle those together, you are testing the real problem.
