Note: this is likely related to changes made in the v1.9.0 release of Conjur.

It would be good to understand whether other clients are also impacted, but may not have appropriate test coverage to catch the issue.

@izgeri So far:

• Golang: Has tests. Unknown how they relate to the code change.
• Python3: Doesn't support rotation of key
• Java: Doesn't seem to support rotation of key
• .NET: Doesn't seem to support rotation of key
• Powershell: Java: Doesn't seem to support rotation of key
• JS: N/A

[izgeri]

Noting that an issue was discovered in Conjur CLI, that appears to be related since the CLI uses this Ruby library.
