Enterprise
The EJBCA Enterprise PKI configuration export/import tool EJBCA ConfigDump allows you to export and import configurations in human-readable (YAML) format. The import functionality allows you to import configurations such as profiles and Certificate Authorities (CAs). Since the configuration dump itself is human-readable, you can edit the fields in each object (for example, change the subject DN of an end entity profile) before import.
EJBCA Enterprise container deployments enable Helm-based deployment automation for Kubernetes deployments. File-based configuration of EJBCA resources allows you to configure EJBCA to read Kubernetes ConfigMaps and Secrets to create resources during EJBCA deployment. This significantly reduces installation effort, and brings the advantage of replicating an existing setup. You can, for example create a setup of EJBCA instances in your development cluster, export the configuration from the environment, and then create an installation in your staging or production cluster and import the ConfigDump export.
Note that an EJBCA installation with ConfigDump import does not support replication during the installation stage. Instead, use helm install with ConfigDump and replicaCount: 1 and then after the installation is complete, perform an helm upgrade to the desired replicaCount.
