Currently when using the built-in CA provider for Connect, root certificates are valid for 10 years, however secondary DCs get intermediates that are valid for only 1 year. There is no mechanism currently short of rotating the root in the primary that will cause the secondary DCs to renew their intermediates.
This PR adds a check that renews the cert if it is half way through its validity period.
In order to be able to test these changes, a new configuration option was added: IntermediateCertTTL which is set extremely low in the tests.
* Change CA Configure struct to pass Datacenter through
* Remove connect/ca/plugin as we don't have immediate plans to use it.
We still intend to one day but there are likely to be several changes to the CA provider interface before we do so it's better to rebuild from history when we do that work properly.
* Rename PrimaryDC; fix endpoint in secondary DCs
* pass logger through to provider
* test for proper operation of NeedsLogger
* remove public testServer function
* Ooops actually set the logger in all the places we need it - CA config set wasn't and causing segfault
* Fix all the other places in tests where we set the logger
* Allow CA Providers to persist some state
* Update CA provider plugin interface
* Fix plugin stubs to match provider changes
* Update agent/connect/ca/provider.go

* Cleanup review comments
* add NeedsLogger to Provider interface
* implements NeedsLogger in default provider
* pass logger through to provider
* test for proper operation of NeedsLogger

The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary
representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version.
The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display
purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).
All these changes should have no side-effects or change behavior:
- Use bytes.Buffer's String() instead of a conversion
- Use time.Since and time.Until where fitting
- Drop unnecessary returns and assignment
* Fix CA pruning when CA config uses string durations.
The tl;dr here is:
- Configuring LeafCertTTL with a string like "72h" is how we do it by default and should be supported
- Most of our tests managed to escape this by defining them as time.Duration directly
- Out actual default value is a string
- Since this is stored in a map[string]interface{} config, when it is written to Raft it goes through a msgpack encode/decode cycle (even though it's written from server not over RPC).
- msgpack decode leaves the string as a `[]uint8`
- Some of our parsers required string and failed
- So after 1 hour, a default configured server would throw an error about pruning old CAs
- If a new CA was configured that set LeafCertTTL as a time.Duration, things might be OK after that, but if a new CA was just configured from config file, intialization would cause same issue but always fail still so would never prune the old CA.
- Mostly this is just a janky error that got passed tests due to many levels of complicated encoding/decoding.
tl;dr of the tl;dr: Yay for type safety. Map[string]interface{} combined with msgpack always goes wrong but we somehow get bitten every time in a new way :D
We already fixed this once! The main CA config had the same problem so @kyhavlov already wrote the mapstructure DecodeHook that fixes it. It wasn't used in several places it needed to be and one of those is notw in `structs` which caused a dependency cycle so I've moved them.
This adds a whole new test thta explicitly tests the case that broke here. It also adds tests that would have failed in other places before (Consul and Vaul provider parsing functions). I'm not sure if they would ever be affected as it is now as we've not seen things broken with them but it seems better to explicitly test that and support it to not be bitten a third time!
* Typo fix
* Fix bad Uint8 usage
