The rationale behind removing them is that all of our own code (xDS, builtin connect proxy) use the cache notification mechanism. This ensures that the blocking fetch behind the scenes is always executing. Therefore the only way you might go to get a certificate and have to wait is when 1) the request has never been made for that cert before or 2) you are using the v1/agent/connect/ca/leaf API for retrieving the cert yourself.
In the first case, the refresh change doesn’t alter the behavior. In the second case, it can be mitigated by using blocking queries with that API which just like normal cache notification mechanism will cause the blocking fetch to be initiated and to get leaf certs as soon as needed.
If you are not using blocking queries, or Envoy/xDS, or the builtin connect proxy but are retrieving the certs yourself then the HTTP endpoint might take a little longer to respond.
This also renames the RefreshTimeout field on the register options to QueryTimeout to more accurately reflect that it is used for any type that supports blocking queries.

The fallback method would still work but it would get into a state where it would let the certificate expire for 10s before getting a new one. And the new one used the less secure RPC endpoint.
This is also a pretty large refactoring of the auto encrypt code. I was going to write some tests around the certificate monitoring but it was going to be impossible to get a TestAgent configured in such a way that I could write a test that ran in less than an hour or two to exercise the functionality.
Moving the certificate monitoring into its own package will allow for dependency injection and in particular mocking the cache types to control how it hands back certificates and how long those certificates should live. This will allow for exercising the main loop more than would be possible with it coupled so tightly with the Agent.

This is instead of having the AutoConfigBackend interface provide functions for retrieving them.
NOTE: the config is not reloadable. For now this is fine as we don’t look at any reloadable fields. If that changes then we should provide a way to make it reloadable.
Instead it has an interface which can be mocked for better unit testing that is deterministic and not prone to flakiness.

A port can be sent in the Host header as defined in the HTTP RFC, so we
take any hosts that we want to match traffic to and also add another
host with the listener port added.
Also fix an issue with envoy integration tests not running the
case-ingress-gateway-tls test.
Split up unused key validation in config entry decode for oss/ent.
This is needed so that we can return an informative error in OSS if namespaces are provided.
This will allow to increase cache value when DC is not valid (aka
return SOA to avoid too many consecutive requests) and will
distinguish DC being temporarily not available from DC not existing.

On the servers they must have a certificate.
On the clients they just have to set verify_outgoing to true to attempt TLS connections for RPCs.
Eventually we may relax these restrictions but right now all of the settings we push down (acl tokens, acl related settings, certificates, gossip key) are sensitive and shouldn’t be transmitted over an unencrypted connection. Our guides and docs should recoommend verify_server_hostname on the clients as well.
Another reason to do this is weird things happen when making an insecure RPC when TLS is not enabled. Basically it tries TLS anyways. We should probably fix that to make it clearer what is going on.
The envisioned changes would allow extra settings to enable dynamically defined auth methods to be used instead of or in addition to the statically defined one in the configuration.
While upgrading servers to a new version, I saw that metadata of
existing servers are not upgraded, so the version and raft meta
is not up to date in catalog.
The only way to do it was to:
* update Consul server
* make it leave the cluster, then metadata is accurate
That's because the optimization to avoid updating catalog does
not take into account metadata, so no update on catalog is performed.
A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.
Blocking queries issues will still be uncancellable (that cannot be helped until we get rid of net/rpc). However this makes it so that if calling getWithIndex (like during a cache Notify go routine) we can cancell the outer routine. Previously it would keep issuing more blocking queries until the result state actually changed.

Currently when passing hostname clusters to Envoy, we set each service instance registered with Consul as an LbEndpoint for the cluster.
However, Envoy can only handle one per cluster:
[2020-06-04 18:32:34.094][1][warning][config] [source/common/config/grpc_subscription_impl.cc:87] gRPC config for type.googleapis.com/envoy.api.v2.Cluster rejected: Error adding/updating cluster(s) dc2.internal.ddd90499-9b47-91c5-4616-c0cbf0fc358a.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint, server.dc2.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint
Envoy is currently handling this gracefully by only picking one of the endpoints. However, we should avoid passing multiple to avoid these warning logs.
This PR:
* Ensures we only pass one endpoint, which is tied to one service instance.
* We prefer sending an endpoint which is marked as Healthy by Consul.
* If no endpoints are healthy we emit a warning and skip the cluster.
* If multiple unique hostnames are spread across service instances we emit a warning and let the user know which will be resolved.
In discussion with team, it was pointed out that query parameters tend
to be filter mechanism, and that semantically the "/v1/health/connect"
endpoint should return "all healthy connect-enabled endpoints (e.g.
could be side car proxies or native instances) for this service so I can
connect with mTLS".
That does not fit an ingress gateway, so we remove the query parameter
and add a new endpoint "/v1/health/ingress" that semantically means
"all the healthy ingress gateway instances that I can connect to
to access this connect-enabled service without mTLS"
This allows the operator to disable agent caching for the http endpoint.
It is on by default for backwards compatibility and if disabled will
ignore the url parameter `cached`.
Previously, we did not require the 'service-name.*' host header value
when on a single http service was exposed. However, this allows a user
to get into a situation where, if they add another service to the
listener, suddenly the previous service's traffic might not be routed
correctly. Thus, we always require the Host header, even if there is
only 1 service.
Also, we add the make the default domain matching more restrictive by
matching "service-name.ingress.*" by default. This lines up better with
the namespace case and more accurately matches the Consul DNS value we
expect people to use in this case.
