Issue/Introduction

Can XCOM SSL certificates/private keys be stored in AWS Secrets Manager?

Environment

Release : 12.0
XCOM Data Transport for Linux
Operating System: Linux under AWS

Resolution

XCOM SSL certificates/private keys must be in PEM format files (as designated in the file $XCOM_HOME/config/configssl.cnf).
XCOM Engineering advised that although it is easy and requires no changes to XCOM or the certificate format to import into AWS Secrets Manager, new API/SDK functions and code will be required for XCOM to retrieve Secrets from AWS Secrets Manager.
Thus an enhancement request should be submitted via the Broadcom Ideas Community using Category="XCOM Data Transport"
