This page contains the list of breaking changes for Vault 0.5.1. Please read it

## PKI Backend Disallows RSA Keys < 2048 Bits
|
||
|
|
||
|
The PKI backend now refuses to issue a certificate, sign a CSR, or save a role
|
||
|
that specifies an RSA key of less than 2048 bits. Smaller keys are considered
|
||
|
unsafe and are disallowed in the Internet PKI. Although this may require
|
||
|
updating your roles, we do not expect any other breaks from this; since its
|
||
|
inception the PKI backend has mandated SHA256 hashes for its signatures, and
|
||
|
software able to handle these certificates should be able to handle
|
||
|
certificates with >= 2048-bit RSA keys as well.
