rabbah commented on issue #2517: Support client certificate verify on server 
side

https://github.com/apache/incubator-openwhisk/pull/2517#issuecomment-323736410
 
 
   I had a long chat with @ningyougang on slack about the changes in this PR 
and side effects to other repositories. It will in fact need changes for the 
catalog installation and providers otherwise this feature can't be turned on. 
But we also found some inconsistencies.
   
   1. A client certificate must be provided with CN equal to subject 
   2. Every subject must have their own cert
   
   So the installation of openwhisk supports two subjects: whisk.system and 
guest. It is not clear how Travis passed because the guest account is 
inoperable without a valid client certificate. Similarly some tests which 
create new subjects will not work without also addressing the certificate issue 
as well.
   
   As noted this also affects the other repositories and their CI for the 
change to be consistent throughout a deployment. We would further need changes 
to the documentation which describes "wskadmin user" etc.
