HAProxy

Overview

QCecuring integrates with HAProxy to automate TLS certificate management for high-performance load balancers. Certificates are provisioned, deployed, and renewed without manual file management or service interruptions, using HAProxy’s runtime API or file-based deployment methods.

Key capabilities

• Automated certificate deployment to HAProxy frontend bind configurations.
• Support for HAProxy’s runtime API for hitless certificate updates without reloads.
• Multi-certificate management for SNI-based virtual hosting configurations.
• Discovery of existing certificates referenced in HAProxy configuration files.
• Centralized monitoring of certificate health across HAProxy instances.

Typical use cases

• Operations teams managing TLS termination on HAProxy for web applications and APIs.
• High-availability environments requiring certificate updates without service interruption.
• Organizations running HAProxy in containers or Kubernetes needing automated certificate rotation.

High-level integration flow

1. Register HAProxy instances in QCecuring with connection details and deployment method preferences.
2. The platform discovers existing certificates referenced in HAProxy configurations.
3. Certificate policies are applied based on frontend, domain, and environment classification.
4. QCecuring provisions certificates and deploys them via runtime API or file deployment with reload.
5. Continuous monitoring alerts teams to expiring certificates and configuration drift.

CBOM Discovery

QCecuring scans HAProxy configurations for TLS certificate paths, cipher strings, and protocol settings, adding them to your cryptographic inventory.
