The certificate is genuine, from Mesh Internal CA, and nothing on the
workstation trusts it — verbatim the error the report gives. The public
name on the same proxy verifies cleanly, which puts the fault exactly
where the report puts it.
What is in the way is not an assignment. `ca-trust` is merged in the
catalogue and has never been registered with the mesh — 39 of 76
manifests are — so there is no module to assign. It dry-runs clean and
needs no artifact built.
Two findings from reproducing it, both their own issues:
157 — every routed name is published with an `.internal` alias that
nothing serves. The hosts file says keycloak.novox.be.internal; the proxy
serves keycloak.novox.internal and refuses the other by name. The first
three names I tried came from the hosts file and failed with a TLS alert
rather than a verification error, which pointed at a regression that had
not happened.
158 — the proxy re-logs all 52 routes every two seconds, 31 times a
minute. The one line that explained 157 sat between two of them.
Also recorded, because it was nearly filed as a defect and is not one:
step-ca publishes roots as /roots.pem, which is PEM, so ca-trust's fetch
and its refuse-a-non-certificate guard are both right. Its other endpoint
/roots returns JSON that contains the text the guard greps for, so the
guard is sound only because of which path is published.
Issue 129: every internal HTTPS name fails verification on every machine,
because nothing has ever written the mesh's root into a trust store. The
report proposed the controller inject it the way the private network writes
the registry's trust; this record rejects that — reachability and trust are
not the same fact, and where anchors live is the host's difference, not the
controller's. A module requiring internal-acme-ca does the whole of it, and
being unassigned undoes it.
