------------------------------------------------------------------
Getting to it this week. Can you just check with ASF legal about the MPL? It
should be legit, but let's be sure.
Also, looks like Vault 0.10.0 has been released. Can you upgrade to that? Also,
let me know if there's any significant changes because of that.

> Automatic certificate management using Vault
> --------------------------------------------
>
> Key: CASSANDRA-13971
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-13971
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Streaming and Messaging
> Reporter: Stefan Podkowinski
> Assignee: Stefan Podkowinski
> Priority: Major
> Labels: security
> Fix For: 4.x
>
>
> We've been adding security features during the last years to enable users to
> secure their clusters, if they are willing to use them and do so correctly.
> Some features are powerful and easy to work with, such as role based
> authorization. Other features that require to manage a local keystore are
> rather painful to deal with. Think about setting up SSL..
> To be fair, keystore related issues and certificate handling hasn't been
> invented by us. We're just following Java standards there. But that doesn't
> mean that we absolutely have to, if there are better options. I'd like to
> give it a shoot and find out if we can automate certificate/key handling
> (PKI) by using external APIs. In this case, the implementation will be based
> on [Vault|https://vaultproject.io]. But certificate management services
> offered by cloud providers may also be able to handle the use-case and I
> intend to create a generic, pluggable API for that.
