chore: sweep github.com/shankar0123/certctl URL refs to certctl-io/certctl
Post-transfer cosmetic + release-critical URL refresh after moving the
repo from github.com/shankar0123/certctl to github.com/certctl-io/certctl
(2026-05-03). GitHub HTTP redirects continue to forward old URLs forever,
so existing operators are not broken — but aligns the canonical
references with the new owner so:
- procurement engineers / contributors browsing the docs see the right
URL on first read
- operators copying the agent install one-liner hit the new path
directly without going through a redirect
- the Helm chart's default image repository points at the canonical org
registry path
- the OnboardingWizard rendered to first-run UI users shows the new
URL in the install snippets and doc anchor links
- the GitHub Actions release workflow pushes container images to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent} (was: shankar0123)
- the release-notes Markdown body in release.yml — which gets stamped
into every future release page — references the post-transfer
cert-identity (cosign keyless signing now uses the certctl-io
workflow URL) and the post-transfer SLSA provenance source-uri.
Without this, every cosign verify / slsa-verifier command on a
v2.1.0+ release would fail because the cert-identity-regexp would
not match the signing identity GitHub Actions OIDC issues post-
transfer. Old releases (v2.0.67 and earlier) keep their immutable
release-notes pointing at the shankar0123 path and remain
verifiable via their own published instructions.
Customer impact:
- Operators on ghcr.io/shankar0123/certctl-{server,agent}:latest
silently freeze on whatever tag was current at transfer time. They
get no errors; they just stop receiving updates. The next release
notes need a one-line callout (Phase 3.1 of cowork/transfer-
certctl-to-org.md) telling them to update their image path to
ghcr.io/certctl-io/certctl-{server,agent}.
- All other URLs (git clone, install one-liner, raw.githubusercontent
URLs, browser links, GitHub API) continue to resolve via permanent
HTTP redirects. The sweep is cosmetic for those.
Files swept (30 total):
.github/workflows/release.yml — IMAGE_NAMESPACE, source-uri,
cosign cert-identity-regexp, IMAGE= snippet (5 refs total).
CHANGELOG.md, README.md — anchor links, badges, install one-liner,
cosign verify snippets in operator-facing sections.
api/openapi.yaml — info / externalDocs URLs.
install-agent.sh — GITHUB_REPO const + systemd unit Documentation=
field.
deploy/ENVIRONMENTS.md, deploy/helm/{CHART_SUMMARY,INDEX,
INSTALLATION,README}.md, deploy/helm/certctl/{Chart.yaml,
README.md,values.yaml}, deploy/helm/examples/values-*.yaml —
chart docs + image repository defaults across dev / prod-ha
overrides.
docs/{certctl-for-cert-manager-users,connector-iis,connectors,
migrate-from-acmesh,migrate-from-certbot,quickstart,test-env,
why-certctl}.md — operator-facing doc URLs.
examples/{acme-nginx,acme-wildcard-dns01,multi-issuer,
private-ca-traefik,step-ca-haproxy}/docker-compose.yml +
examples/step-ca-haproxy/step-ca-haproxy.md — example image:
paths and accompanying narrative.
web/src/pages/OnboardingWizard.tsx — first-run-UI URL refs (curl
install one-liners, agent docker image path, doc anchor links).
Files intentionally NOT swept (Choice A from cowork/transfer-certctl-
to-org.md):
go.mod, go.sum — module declaration stays github.com/shankar0123/
certctl. Existing imports compile because Go uses the path
declared in go.mod, not the URL it was fetched from. Internal-
only project; no external Go consumers; rename will land as a
mechanical sed when one materializes.
~250 *.go files — every import remains github.com/shankar0123/
certctl/internal/...
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/go.mod — separate test sub-module;
same Choice A logic; module path stays.
Files intentionally NOT swept (other reasons):
README.md lines 244-245 — Scarf-pixel docker-pull commands.
shankar0123.docker.scarf.sh/... is a Scarf-account hostname
(per-user, not per-repo) and the pixel keeps tracking pulls
against the operator's personal Scarf account. Migrating to a
certctl-io Scarf account is a separate decision (create org
Scarf account → re-create package → update README).
deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol — checked-in
compiled binary with shankar0123/certctl baked into Go build
info via the sub-module path. Out of scope for a URL sweep;
will refresh on the next `make test-integration` rebuild.
Verification:
gofmt: clean (no .go files touched).
go vet ./...: clean (verified at this SHA in 1.3 of the transfer
checklist; no .go changes since).
go build ./...: clean (same).
go test -short on representative packages: green (same).
Diff shape: 30 files, 74 insertions / 74 deletions, net-zero size,
pure URL substitution.

fix(security,config): remove unimplemented JWT auth-type, close silent downgrade (G-1)
The pre-G-1 config validator accepted CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=jwt and the
startup log faithfully echoed 'authentication enabled type=jwt'.
Reasonable people read that and concluded JWT auth was on. It wasn't.
The auth-middleware wiring at cmd/server/main.go unconditionally routed
every request through the api-key bearer middleware regardless of
cfg.Auth.Type. So CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=jwt quietly compared the incoming
'Authorization: Bearer <token>' against whatever string the operator put
in CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET — real JWT clients got 401, and operators who
treated CERTCTL_AUTH_SECRET as a *signing* secret (because they thought
they were configuring JWT) had effectively handed an attacker an api-key.
A security finding masquerading as a config option.
We chose the audit-recommended structural fix: remove the option, fail
fast at startup, and add the gateway-fronting pattern as the documented
forward path. Implementing JWT middleware would have meant jwks vs
static-secret rotation, claim mapping, expiry enforcement, audience and
issuer validation, key rollover semantics, and regression coverage at the
same depth as the existing api-key path — a feature, not a fix. Operators
who genuinely need JWT/OIDC front certctl with an authenticating gateway
(oauth2-proxy / Envoy ext_authz / Traefik ForwardAuth / Pomerium /
Authelia) and run the upstream certctl with CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none. Same
shape works on docker-compose and Helm.
The change is comprehensive across 7 phases — every surface that
mentioned 'jwt' as a certctl-auth-type is updated, plus structural
backstops (typed enum, runtime guard, helm template validation, CI grep
guard) so the lie can't reappear.
Files changed:
Phase 1 — production code (typed enum + jwt removal):
- internal/config/config.go: AuthType typed alias + AuthTypeAPIKey /
AuthTypeNone constants + ValidAuthTypes() helper. Validate() routes
literal 'jwt' through a dedicated multi-line diagnostic naming the
authenticating-gateway pattern, then cross-checks against
ValidAuthTypes(). Secret-required branch simplified to api-key-only.
Field comment on AuthConfig.Type rewritten to drop jwt and point at
the gateway pattern.
- internal/api/middleware/middleware.go: AuthConfig.Type field comment
references the typed config.AuthType constants.
- internal/api/handler/health.go: same treatment for HealthHandler.AuthType.
- cmd/server/main.go: defense-in-depth runtime switch immediately after
config.Load() — exits 1 on any unsupported auth-type that bypassed the
validator. Auth-disabled startup log explicitly names the
authenticating-gateway pattern.
Phase 2 — tests (Red→Green, contract pinning):
- internal/config/config_test.go: TestValidate_JWTAuth_RejectedDedicated
(two table rows pinning the dedicated G-1 error fires regardless of
whether Secret is set), TestValidAuthTypesDoesNotContainJWT (property
guard against future re-introduction),
TestValidAuthTypesIsExactly_APIKey_None (allowed-set contract),
TestValidate_GenericInvalidAuthType (pins non-jwt invalid values still
hit the generic invalid-auth-type error). Removed the prior
TestValidate_JWTAuth_MissingSecret happy-path since its premise is
inverted post-G-1.
- internal/api/handler/health_test.go: removed
TestAuthInfo_ReturnsAuthType_JWT (which baked the silent-downgrade lie
into the regression suite). Pre-existing _APIKey test continues to
cover the api-key happy path.
Phase 3 — spec, docs, env templates:
- api/openapi.yaml: auth_type enum dropped to [api-key, none] with
inline comment naming the G-1 closure.
- .env.example (root): CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE comment block rewritten to drop
jwt and point at the gateway pattern; secret-required conditional
simplified to api-key-only.
- docs/architecture.md: middleware-stack bullet rewritten to drop the
JWT mention; new H3 'Authenticating-gateway pattern (JWT, OIDC, mTLS)'
section explaining the design rationale and listing oauth2-proxy /
Envoy ext_authz / Traefik ForwardAuth / Pomerium / Authelia / Caddy
forward_auth / Apache mod_auth_openidc / nginx auth_request as the
standard fronting options.
- docs/upgrade-to-v2-jwt-removal.md (new ~125 lines): migration guide
with preconditions, what-changes, both recovery paths, complete
docker-compose oauth2-proxy walkthrough, Traefik ForwardAuth and Envoy
ext_authz patterns, rollback posture.
Phase 4 — Helm chart (template validation + docs):
- deploy/helm/certctl/templates/_helpers.tpl: new certctl.validateAuthType
helper mirroring the existing certctl.tls.required pattern. Fails
template render on any server.auth.type outside {api-key, none} with
a multi-line diagnostic.
- deploy/helm/certctl/templates/server-deployment.yaml,
server-configmap.yaml, server-secret.yaml: invoke the helper at the
top of each template that depends on .Values.server.auth.type.
- deploy/helm/certctl/values.yaml: auth: block comment expanded with the
G-1 rationale and gateway-pattern cross-reference.
- deploy/helm/CHART_SUMMARY.md: server.auth.type table row now surfaces
the allowed set and points at the upgrade doc.
- deploy/helm/certctl/README.md: new 'JWT / OIDC via authenticating
gateway' section with a Kubernetes-flavored oauth2-proxy + certctl
walkthrough.
Phase 5 — release surface:
- CHANGELOG.md: new [unreleased] top entry with Breaking / Removed /
Added / Changed sections; explicit pointer at
docs/upgrade-to-v2-jwt-removal.md from the Breaking subsection.
Phase 6 — CI guardrail:
- .github/workflows/ci.yml: new 'Forbidden auth-type literal regression
guard (G-1)' step. Scoped patterns catch the actual regression shapes
(map literal, slice literal, switch case, OpenAPI enum, env-file
default, AuthType('jwt') cast). Comments and the dedicated rejection
branch are intentionally exempt; connector-package JWT references
(Google OAuth2 / step-ca) are exempt as out-of-scope external
protocols. Verified locally: the guard passes on the actual tree and
fires on all 4 synthetic regression patterns.
Out of scope (explicitly untouched):
- internal/connector/discovery/gcpsm/gcpsm.go — Google OAuth2 service-
account JWT (external protocol).
- internal/connector/issuer/googlecas/googlecas.go — same.
- internal/connector/issuer/stepca/stepca.go — step-ca's provisioner
one-time-token JWT for /sign API.
- docs/test-env.md, docs/connectors.md, docs/features.md — describe
external CAs' use of JWT, not certctl's auth shape.
- Implementing actual JWT middleware. Feature, not a fix.
Verification (all gates pass):
- go build ./... — clean
- go vet ./... — clean
- go test -short ./... — every package green
- go test -short -race ./internal/config/... ./internal/api/... — clean
- govulncheck ./... — no vulnerabilities in our code
- helm lint deploy/helm/certctl/ — clean
- helm template with auth.type=api-key — renders OK
- helm template with auth.type=none — renders OK
- helm template with auth.type=jwt — fails with validateAuthType
diagnostic (exit 1)
- python3 yaml.safe_load on api/openapi.yaml — parses
- CI guardrail mirror — clean on real tree, fires on all 4 synthetic
regression patterns
- Smoke test: 'CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=jwt ./certctl-server' exits non-zero
with: 'Failed to load configuration: CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=jwt is no
longer accepted (G-1 silent auth downgrade): no JWT middleware ships
with certctl. To use JWT/OIDC, run an authenticating gateway
(oauth2-proxy / Envoy ext_authz / Traefik ForwardAuth / Pomerium) in
front of certctl and set CERTCTL_AUTH_TYPE=none on the upstream.
See docs/architecture.md "Authenticating-gateway pattern" and
docs/upgrade-to-v2-jwt-removal.md for the migration walkthrough'
config pkg coverage: ValidAuthTypes 100%, Validate 94.7%, total 75.5%.
Refs: coverage-gap-audit-2026-04-24-v5/unified-audit.md
§2 P1 cluster, cat-g-jwt_silent_auth_downgrade
Audit recommendation followed verbatim: 'Remove jwt from
validAuthTypes until middleware ships'.
