Title: Message Title

Romain Tartière updated an issue   Puppet / PUP-11471 Allow Puppet::HTTP::Client to connect to server trusted by the system trust store using the puppet certificate for client authentification Change By: Romain Tartière On instantiation, a {{Puppet::HTTP::Client}} use a {{Puppet::SSL::Context}} to verify secure connections to remote hosts.  The {{Puppet::SSL::Provider}} provide convenience methods to build SSL Contexts: # create_insecure_context: An insecure SSL Context, allowing connections to any host without client certificate authentication; # create_root_context: A basic SSL Context trusting the passed certificates and that does not allow client certificate authentication; # create_system_context: A basic SSL Context trusting system certificates but not checking CRL and not allowing client certificate authentication; # create_context: A SSL Context suitable for communication with puppet trusting only the puppet CA, checking CRL and using client certificate authentication. None of these SSL Context allow to download files served by a server using certificates signed by a trusted third-party (system store) but with client certificate authentication.  We use this scheme to distribute files to our puppet nodes from servers which use standard TSL certificates provided by Let's Encrypt: the certificate is trusted in the system store, but we also require a client certificate signed by our Puppet CA for the client to download files. This issue is about making it possible for the base Puppet HTTP Client to generate a SSL Context suitable for this kind of usages.   Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.2#820002-sha1:829506d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
