Both of this is harder or more error prone than simply replacing a file on the filesystem and restarting the server instances. | |

Say, I've a relational db, where I'm storing the keys in a table like this - id, key_name, key_value, app_name, .... It's just about getting the value if I know my appl name and private key name, right? | |
