[openstack-dev] Barbican : Usage of public_key, private_key and private_key_passphrase under RSA type Container

Hello again Asha,

Yes, the predefined secret names in an RSA container should match up with secret refs for those actual things.  “private_key” should point to the private key of the RSA pair, “public_key” should point to the matching public key.

private_key_passphrase is optional, and it is only used for passphrase-protected keys.  It should point to a secret that has the plain text passphrase used to unlock the private key.
