Title: Create a Java Keystore to Store Sensitive Strings Describe the issue: The vault keysize is not limited to 1024. Suggestions for improvement: Additional information:
Is it limited at all?
OK, I now know that 1024 is the default. I don't know if there is a limit.
Verification on stage (http://documentation-devel.engineering.redhat.com/) failed. We test against documentation-devel and fix isn't there.
This is very early in the development process and this change has not been scoped for a specific release yet. You won't be able to test it on the stage until it has been re-staged. However, you can test it on our continuous integration system and verify that the change itself is correct, so that we can make sure it goes into the next build.
Even the value 2048 is not valid here. We should not talk about minimal, default or maximal values here. We can point user to his "keytool" documentation. The values can differ across algorithms, JDK vendors and Java versions. We could also make some suggestion, e.g. reference the NIST recommendation - c.f. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=953861
I will action this. However, I'm marking it as a duplicate of bug 953861, because behind the scenes, this same topic is used in both. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 953861 ***
