Documentation/example for "trusted_certificate_authority"

[atoy3731]

Can an example be provided detailing how exactly to reference a multi-line trusted CA using the trusted_certificate_authority option. There's no way to tell if it is an escaped string with \n, a base-64 encoded value, or a pointer to a file that should be mounted into the container.

We've tried most of the above with no luck.

can we convert this to a proposal wherein that value is a base 64 encoded value? i tried that initially and it didn't seem to like that
the bookinfo example is a helm chart and it would be much easier to pass the value in that way.

[perezjasonr]

did you ever figure this out? i took the ca that is used to secure our keycloak w/ https (from cert manager)

its an escaped string with \n which i've seen other folks apparently doing.

but i keep getting:

when I do a curl call with the same ca in a file, it seems to be ok with the token endpoint:

curl --cacert ca.crt -L -X POST https://keycloak.myredacteddomain.com/auth/realms/endgame/protocol/openid-connect/token -H 'Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded' --data-urlencode 'client_id=bookinfo' --data-urlencode 'grant_type=password' --data-urlencode 'client_secret=same-secret-thats-in-the-configmap' --data-urlencode 'scope=openid' --data-urlencode 'username=user' --data-urlencode 'password=password'

ok i think i finally got it...i think, for me what got past this was providing it the ca of keycloak's https endpoint. and in escaped string format w/ \ns i hope someone finds this useful
