With the increasing complexity of data landscapes and the rise of data mesh architectures, it would be highly beneficial to introduce license-wide keystores in TimeXtender. The idea is to create a centralized key store that can be accessed and used across different project instances within the same license.
Currently, encryption keys or secrets are tied to individual instances. A license-wide keystore would allow for consistent and secure management of keys across the entire organization.
This feature would improve:
-
Security, by reducing redundant key management and promoting centralized governance.
-
Efficiency, as teams wouldn't have to duplicate keystore configurations.
-
Scalability, especially in data mesh setups where decentralized teams still rely on shared infrastructure.
-
Data integration, by making it easier to link and work with data from different parts of the organization using the same keystore—enabling smoother cross-domain connectivity and unified access to encrypted resources.
