Extract the first 5 issuer per-connector deep-dive pages:
- vault.md (128 lines) — Vault PKI synchronous issuance, token TTL +
auto-renewal loop, MaxTTL enforcement, rotation playbook
- digicert.md (106 lines) — CertCentral DV/OV/EV with bounded async
polling for vetting workflows
- aws-acm-pca.md (165 lines) — managed private CA on AWS with full
IAM policy, IRSA wiring, troubleshooting matrix
- ejbca.md (116 lines) — open-source / Keyfactor EJBCA with mTLS or
OAuth2 auth, mTLS keypair caching, approval-pending guidance
- adcs.md (111 lines) — Active Directory Certificate Services as
enterprise root via Local CA sub-CA mode, sub-CA rotation playbook
Index updated with forward-list entries and the index-purpose blurb
revised so the index now positions itself as 'navigate from here;
deeper material lives in siblings' rather than 'docs to be extracted
later'.
Each per-page follows the WHAT/HOW/WHY pattern: what the connector is,
how authentication and issuance work, and when to choose this vs an
alternative. Cross-links to the connector index, async-ca-polling
primitive, and adjacent operator runbooks.
This is part 1 of 4 for the Phase 4 follow-on (per-connector page
extraction) tracked in cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-2-restructure-2026-05-04/log.md.
Net add: 5 files, 626 lines. No content removed from index.md (the
index keeps its inline reference; per-pages add operator depth on
top, matching the pattern set by apache/f5/iis/k8s/nginx in Phase 4
structural).
Per Phase 1 audit at cowork/docs-overhaul-phase-1-audit-2026-05-04/.
Phase 4 in the audit recommended a full split of connectors.md (2055
lines) into an index + 27 per-connector pages (12 issuer + 15 target).
This commit lands the structural half of that work; full per-target
page extraction is deferred to follow-up commits.
Renames (all blame-preserving):
docs/connectors.md → docs/reference/connectors/index.md
docs/connector-apache.md → docs/reference/connectors/apache.md
docs/connector-f5.md → docs/reference/connectors/f5.md
docs/connector-iis.md → docs/reference/connectors/iis.md
docs/connector-k8s.md → docs/reference/connectors/k8s.md
docs/connector-nginx.md → docs/reference/connectors/nginx.md
Edits:
- docs/reference/connectors/index.md gets a top-of-doc note
explaining the per-connector deep-dive sibling pattern + a forward
list of the 5 per-target pages.
- The 5 per-connector deep-dive pages each get a `Last reviewed:
2026-05-05` header + a back-link to the index.
Deferred to future commits (Phase 4b/c follow-on):
- Extracting the 12 issuer sections from index.md into per-issuer
pages at reference/connectors/{acme,awsacmpca,digicert,ejbca,
entrust,globalsign,googlecas,local,openssl,sectigo,stepca,vault}.md
- Extracting the 10 remaining target sections from index.md into
per-target pages at reference/connectors/{caddy,traefik,envoy,
haproxy,postfix-dovecot,ssh,javakeystore,wincertstore,awsacm,
azurekv}.md
The pragmatic split makes this Phase 4 work incrementally landable —
each per-connector extraction is a small follow-up commit that doesn't
change the docs/ tree shape further. Cross-references from README.md
and other docs to docs/connectors.md still need fixing in Phase 11.
