Mar 1, 2025March 2025 (openbao/openbao): Focused on clarifying PKCS#11 integration scope to improve onboarding and reduce support risk. Delivered targeted documentation updates that explicitly state that key generation is not supported in the PKCS#11 integration and aligned the configuration guide with the current capabilities. A dedicated documentation fix corrected outdated references to key generation, ensuring the docs accurately reflect product functionality. These changes reduce user confusion, shorten integration cycles, and decrease potential support tickets while strengthening the product’s governance of integration docs.
