Stand up internal CA (root + intermediate)

# Enable PKI backends (root + intermediate)
vault secrets enable -path=pki_root pki
vault secrets tune -max-lease-ttl=87600h pki_root      # 10y

vault write pki_root/root/generate/internal \
  common_name="Snoop Root CA" key_type=ec key_bits=256 ttl=87600h

vault secrets enable -path=pki_iot pki
vault secrets tune -max-lease-ttl=17520h pki_iot       # 2y

# Create an intermediate CSR
vault write -field=csr pki_iot/intermediate/generate/internal \
  common_name="Snoop IoT Intermediate" key_type=ec key_bits=256 ttl=17520h > iot_int.csr

# Sign intermediate with root
vault write -field=certificate pki_root/root/sign-intermediate csr=@iot_int.csr \
  format=pem_bundle ttl=17520h > iot_int_signed.pem

vault write -field=issuing_ca pki_root/root/sign-intermediate \
  csr=@iot_int.csr format=pem_bundle ttl=17520h > root_ca.pem

# Set the signed intermediate in Vault
vault write pki_iot/intermediate/set-signed certificate=@iot_int_signed.pem

Configure URLs + a role for devices

# Publish issuing + CRL URLs (Nginx will fetch CRL periodically)
vault write pki_iot/config/urls \
  issuing_certificates="https://vault.example.local/v1/pki_iot/ca" \
  crl_distribution_points="https://vault.example.local/v1/pki_iot/crl"

# Role that limits cert subjects to your device GUIDs
vault write pki_iot/roles/device \
  allow_any_name=false \
  allowed_uri_sans="urn:device:*" \
  allowed_other_sans="" \
  allow_ip_sans=false \
  allowed_domains="" \

  max_ttl=720h ttl=720h  # 30 days

Enrollment flow (device CSR → signed cert)

• Device side

  • Generate keypair on the device (never export private key).
  • Create CSR with CN= and URI SAN urn:device:.

• Server side

  • Backend verifies a one-time enrollment token (or pre-shared bootstrap secret), calls:

vault write pki_iot/sign/device \
  csr=@device.csr \
  uri_sans="urn:device:<GUID>" \
  ttl=720h > device_cert.pem

Revocation

• Immediate kill: your backend stores bad serials; deny in app logic.
  • CRL: vault write pki_iot/revoke serial_number="<SERIAL>".
  • Fetch CRL periodically to a local file for Nginx:

curl -fsSL https://vault.example.local/v1/pki_iot/crl -o /etc/nginx/iot.crl
nginx -s reload

• Automate via systemd timer/cron (e.g., every 10–15 min).
