Milestone
Not sure yet whether one flag (e.g.,
--certs-path
) would be used to ingest both types, or whether there would be separate flags for each type.For example:
--intermediate-certs-path
--root-certs-path
The current thinking is that regardless of what they're named, the flags would allow pointing directly at a specific file for ingest such as:
/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
(e.g., Ubuntu)/etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.crt
(e.g., RHEL)or for an entire directory:
/etc/ssl/certs/
Each ingested file would be sorted into a collection based on its type:
leaf certificatesThe error handling would probably opt to skip over any file ingest attempts that fail (assuming instead that the file isn't a certificate). Not sure if we'd offer a flag to not ignore ingest errors. Presumably we'd log ingest failures via debug level log messages to aid a sysadmin in troubleshooting why an intended file was not ingested.
The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
