From e2821c448ae7af0a6b89a29bcfe27ec4c2d839c0 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: shankar0123 Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 13:51:41 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] Implement M8: agent-side key generation with ECDSA P-256 Private keys never leave agent infrastructure. Agents generate ECDSA P-256 key pairs locally, store them with 0600 permissions, and submit only the CSR (public key) to the control plane. New AwaitingCSR job state pauses renewal/issuance jobs until the agent submits its CSR. Server-side keygen retained behind CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=server for demo/development. Key changes: - Dual keygen mode via CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE (agent default, server for demo) - AwaitingCSR job state with CommonName/SANs in work response - Agent ECDSA P-256 keygen, local key storage, CSR-only submission - CompleteAgentCSRRenewal server-side flow for agent-submitted CSRs - DeploymentRequest.KeyPEM for agent-provided keys during deployment - Dockerfile.agent creates /var/lib/certctl/keys with correct ownership Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 --- CLAUDE.md | 64 +++++--- Dockerfile.agent | 4 +- README.md | 14 +- cmd/agent/main.go | 175 ++++++++++++++++++-- cmd/server/main.go | 10 +- deploy/docker-compose.yml | 1 + docs/architecture.md | 106 ++++++------ internal/config/config.go | 21 +++ internal/connector/target/interface.go | 4 +- internal/domain/job.go | 13 +- internal/integration/lifecycle_test.go | 4 +- internal/service/agent.go | 102 ++++++++---- internal/service/job_test.go | 2 +- internal/service/renewal.go | 216 ++++++++++++++++++++----- internal/service/renewal_test.go | 24 +-- 15 files changed, 576 insertions(+), 184 deletions(-) diff --git a/CLAUDE.md b/CLAUDE.md index e6b37b3..93f8d67 100644 --- a/CLAUDE.md +++ b/CLAUDE.md @@ -7,13 +7,13 @@ You are my long-term copilot for building certctl — a self-hosted certificate - [x] PostgreSQL 16 schema (14 tables, TEXT primary keys, idempotent migrations) - [x] REST API — 41 endpoints under /api/v1/ with pagination, filtering, async actions - [x] Web dashboard — Vite + React 18 + TypeScript + TanStack Query, 11 views wired to real API, dark theme -- [x] Agent binary — heartbeat, work polling, cert fetch, job status reporting (real HTTP calls) +- [x] Agent binary — heartbeat, work polling, cert fetch, CSR generation, job status reporting (real HTTP calls) - [x] Local CA issuer connector — crypto/x509, in-memory CA, self-signed certs - [x] Issuer connector wired end-to-end — Local CA registered in server, adapter bridging connector<->service layers -- [x] Renewal job processor — generates RSA key + CSR, calls issuer, stores cert version, creates deployment jobs +- [x] Renewal job processor — dual-mode keygen: agent mode (AwaitingCSR) or server mode (server-side RSA key + CSR) - [x] Issuance job processor — reuses renewal flow (same mechanics for Local CA) - [x] Agent CSR signing — SubmitCSR forwards to issuer connector, stores signed cert version -- [x] Agent work API — GET /agents/{id}/work returns pending deployment jobs +- [x] Agent work API — GET /agents/{id}/work returns pending deployment + AwaitingCSR jobs with cert details - [x] Agent job status API — POST /agents/{id}/jobs/{job_id}/status for agent feedback - [x] NGINX target connector — file write, config validation, reload - [x] F5 BIG-IP target connector — REST API integration @@ -22,7 +22,7 @@ You are my long-term copilot for building certctl — a self-hosted certificate - [x] Email + Webhook notifier interfaces - [x] Policy engine — 4 rule types, violation tracking, severity levels - [x] Immutable audit trail — append-only, no update/delete -- [x] Job system — 4 types (Issuance, Renewal, Deployment, Validation), state machine +- [x] Job system — 4 types (Issuance, Renewal, Deployment, Validation), 6 states (Pending, AwaitingCSR, Running, Completed, Failed, Cancelled) - [x] Background scheduler — 4 loops (renewal 1h, jobs 30s, health 2m, notifications 1m) - [x] Docker Compose deployment — server + postgres + agent, health checks, seed data - [x] Demo mode — 14 certs, 5 agents, 5 targets, policies, audit events, notifications @@ -35,9 +35,12 @@ You are my long-term copilot for building certctl — a self-hosted certificate - [x] Token bucket rate limiting — configurable RPS/burst, 429 responses with Retry-After header - [x] Configurable CORS — per-origin allowlist or wildcard, preflight caching - [x] GUI auth flow — login screen, auth context, 401 auto-redirect, logout button +- [x] Agent-side key generation — ECDSA P-256 keygen on agent, CSR-only submission, private keys never leave agent +- [x] Dual keygen mode — `CERTCTL_KEYGEN_MODE=agent` (default, production) or `server` (demo only with log warning) +- [x] AwaitingCSR job state — renewal/issuance jobs pause for agent CSR submission in agent keygen mode +- [x] Agent local key storage — keys written to `CERTCTL_KEY_DIR` (default /var/lib/certctl/keys) with 0600 permissions ### What's NOT Wired Up Yet (Pre-v1.0 Gaps) -- [ ] **Agent-side key generation**: V1 uses server-side key generation for Local CA (pragmatic for dev/demo).
