Mechanical sed across the main go.mod's module declaration, the f5-mock-icontrol
sub-module's go.mod, every Go file's import path (361 files), and a rebuild of
the checked-in f5-mock-icontrol binary so its embedded build-info reflects the
new module path. No behavior change.
Choice B from cowork/transfer-certctl-to-org.md, executed 2026-05-04. Choice A
(keep module path declared as github.com/shankar0123/certctl regardless of
repo URL) shipped on the day of the org transfer (2026-05-03) since we had no
external Go consumers; this commit closes that deferral.
Backward-compat: GitHub HTTP redirects continue to forward
github.com/shankar0123/certctl → github.com/certctl-io/certctl at the URL
level, but Go's module proxy uses the path declared in go.mod as the
canonical name. Pre-fix, anyone trying `go get github.com/certctl-io/certctl/...`
hit a "module path mismatch" error because go.mod said
github.com/shankar0123/certctl and the URL they fetched it from said
certctl-io/certctl. Post-fix, the canonical name and the URL agree, so
go get / go install / external Go consumers / Go-tooling integrations
work cleanly via either the new path (preferred) or the old path (which
redirects and Go follows the redirect for source fetch).
Anyone still importing the old path inside their own code keeps working
provided they update their go.mod's `require` line to match — the module
path declared in their consumer's go.sum / go.mod is the authoritative
import name, so a mass sed across their import statements is the migration
on the consumer side. No external consumers exist today.
Diff shape:
361 *.go files — import path replacement only
2 go.mod — module declaration replacement only
1 binary — deploy/test/f5-mock-icontrol/f5-mock-icontrol rebuilt
so embedded build-info reflects the new path (8618965 vs
8618933 bytes; 32-byte diff is the build-info change)
Total: 364 files, 730 insertions / 730 deletions, net-zero size, pure
mechanical substitution.
Verification:
gofmt: 17 files needed re-alignment after sed (the new path is one char
shorter than the old, so column-aligned import groups drifted). Applied
`gofmt -w` to fix.
go mod tidy: clean exit on both modules.
go vet ./...: clean exit.
go build ./...: clean exit.
go test -short -count=1 on representative packages: all green
(internal/domain, internal/validation, internal/crypto, internal/crypto/signer,
cmd/agent). Test output now reads `ok github.com/certctl-io/certctl/...`
confirming the module path resolves correctly.
binary: f5-mock-icontrol rebuilt; `strings | grep shankar0123` returns
nothing; `strings | grep certctl-io/certctl` shows the new module path
embedded in build-info.
Files intentionally NOT touched in this commit:
README.md / CHANGELOG.md / docs/ / etc. — already swept to certctl-io
URLs in commit bc6039a (the post-transfer URL refresh). This commit is
purely the Go-tooling layer.
Scarf pixels (`shankar0123.docker.scarf.sh/...`) — Scarf-account
namespace, not a Go import or GitHub repo URL. Stays.
This is a non-blocking, non-customer-impacting change. Operators pulling
container images, running `make verify`, hitting the API, or installing the
agent see no functional difference. Only Go-tooling consumers (none today)
are affected, and they're enabled — not broken — by this commit.
This is a load-bearing internal refactor with no user-visible behavior
change. The new internal/crypto/signer package abstracts CA private-key
signing behind a Signer interface (embeds stdlib crypto.Signer + adds
Algorithm()). The local issuer now consumes this interface; the
historical c.caKey crypto.Signer field is renamed c.caSigner signer.Signer.
What landed:
* internal/crypto/signer/ — new stdlib-only package
- Signer interface: crypto.Signer + Algorithm()
- Algorithm enum: RSA-2048, RSA-3072, RSA-4096, ECDSA-P256, ECDSA-P384
- Driver interface: Load / Generate / Name
- FileDriver: production driver, wraps file-on-disk PEM, hooks for
DirHardener + Marshaler so the local package can inject Bundle 9
keystore.ensureKeyDirSecure + keymem.marshalPrivateKeyAndZeroize
- MemoryDriver: in-memory test driver; safe for concurrent use
- parse.go: ParsePrivateKey moved here from local.go (PKCS#1, SEC 1, PKCS#8)
- 91.6% coverage (gate ≥85)
* internal/connector/issuer/local/local.go — refactor
- Rename c.caKey crypto.Signer → c.caSigner signer.Signer
- Rewire 4 signing call sites: leaf cert (line ~613), CRL (~849),
OCSP response (~887), CA bootstrap (~482) — all access the
interface; the bootstrap also switches to interface-level
Public() + Signer
- Wrap freshly-generated and freshly-loaded keys; reject Ed25519
and other unsupported algorithms at load time (was silently
accepted before, would have failed at first sign)
- Delete the duplicated parsePrivateKey helper (single source of
truth now lives in the signer package)
- Update the L-014 threat-model comment block (lines 1-29) with a
forward-reference paragraph: file-on-disk caveats apply only to
FileDriver-backed signers; alternative drivers close that leg
- Coverage 86.7 → 86.5 (above CI floor of 86); the 0.2pp drop is
mechanical from deleting parsePrivateKey, partially recovered by
a new test pinning the Wrap error path
* internal/crypto/signer/equivalence_test.go — Phase 3 safety net
- RSA byte-strict equality for leaf certs / CRLs / OCSP responses
(PKCS#1 v1.5 is deterministic)
- ECDSA TBS-strict equality (signature differs because of random k)
- Both signatures independently validate against the CA
- Negative sentinel proves the equivalence checker isn't trivially-
passing
* docs/architecture.md — new 'CA Signing Abstraction' section under
Security Model, with ASCII diagram of FileDriver / MemoryDriver /
future PKCS11Driver / future CloudKMSDriver
* Test file mechanical edits (only):
- bundle9_coverage_test.go: parsePrivateKey → signer.ParsePrivateKey
(function moved, not behavior changed)
- local_test.go: append one targeted test
(TestSubCA_LoadCAFromDisk_RejectsUnsupportedKeyAlgorithm) that
pins the new Wrap error path I introduced — recovers coverage
cost of the deletion above
What did NOT change (verified empty diffs):
* api/openapi.yaml
* migrations/
* internal/connector/issuer/interface.go
* go.mod / go.sum (no new dependencies; stdlib only)
This refactor is the prerequisite for three downstream items:
- PKCS#11/HSM driver (V3-Pro)
- CRL/OCSP responder (V2)
- SSH CA lifecycle (V2)
Each of those adds a new signing call site. Doing the abstraction now
costs once; deferring would cost three times.
loadCAFromDisk now validates the upstream sub-CA certificate's NotBefore
and NotAfter fields before accepting it, returning a fail-closed error
at server startup instead of silently loading an out-of-window CA.
Before this fix, loadCAFromDisk checked BasicConstraints.IsCA and
KeyUsage=CertSign but not the validity window. An expired enterprise
sub-CA (e.g. an ADCS subordinate whose rollover slipped) would load
without warning and the scheduler would mint child certs that every
RFC 5280 path validator rejects — outages show up at relying parties,
not at certctl, and only after thresholds trip.
CWE-672 (Operation on a Resource after Expiration or Release); secondary
CWE-295 (Improper Certificate Validation). Error strings include the CA
subject CommonName and both RFC3339 timestamps so the log line is
actionable in a 3am incident.
Tests: TestSubCAMode gains three subtests exercising the new gate —
SubCA_ExpiredCert_IsRejected (CA expired 1h ago → error mentions
'expired' and the CN), SubCA_NotYetValid_IsRejected (CA valid +1h →
error mentions 'not yet valid' and the CN), and SubCA_BarelyValid_IsAccepted
(CA valid [now-1m, now+1h] → issuance succeeds, proving no
over-rejection). Adds generateTestSubCAWithValidity helper; the
original generateTestSubCA wrapper preserves the [now, now+5y] default
for existing tests.
Package coverage: 67.7% -> 68.3%.
Verification: go build, go vet, go test -race, go test -cover all
green locally; golangci-lint v2.11.4 clean; govulncheck clean. All CI
coverage floors met with margin (service 67.6/55, handler 78.6/60,
domain 92.7/40, middleware 80.0/30, crypto 86.7/85).
Parent: 76d383b (M-8 per-ciphertext salt).
Closes: audit finding M-5 in certctl-audit-report.md.
Enforce certificate profile crypto constraints across all 5 issuance paths
(renewal, agent CSR, EST, SCEP). ValidateCSRAgainstProfile() rejects CSRs
with key algorithm/size that don't match profile rules. MaxTTL enforcement
caps certificate validity per issuer connector (Local CA, Vault, step-ca
enforce directly; ACME/DigiCert/Sectigo pass through). Key algorithm and
size are now persisted in certificate_versions for audit compliance.
16 new tests (12 service-layer + 4 Local CA connector). Removes hardcoded
version number from GUI sidebar. Documentation updated across architecture,
features, connectors, and README.

Backend:
- Embedded OCSP responder: GET /api/v1/ocsp/{issuer_id}/{serial} returns
signed OCSP responses (good/revoked/unknown) using CA key
- DER-encoded X.509 CRL: GET /api/v1/crl/{issuer_id} returns proper DER CRL
signed by issuing CA with 24h validity window
- Short-lived cert exemption: certs with profile TTL < 1 hour skip CRL/OCSP
(expiry is sufficient revocation for ephemeral workloads)
- Extended issuer connector interface with GenerateCRL and SignOCSPResponse
- Local CA implements full CRL/OCSP signing; ACME and step-ca return
appropriate "use native endpoint" errors
- IssuerConnectorAdapter bridges new methods between layers
Frontend:
- Revoke button on certificate detail page with RFC 5280 reason modal
- Revocation banner with reason display and timestamp
- Revocation status indicators in lifecycle section
- "Revoked" filter option in certificates list
- API client: revokeCertificate() function and Certificate type extensions
Tests: ~31 new tests across connector, service, handler, and adapter layers
Docs: milestones renumbered (M13-M14, M16-M18), M15b marked complete

Sub-CA mode: Local CA loads CA cert+key from disk (CERTCTL_CA_CERT_PATH +
CERTCTL_CA_KEY_PATH) to operate as subordinate CA under enterprise root
(e.g., ADCS). Supports RSA, ECDSA, PKCS#8 keys. Validates IsCA and
KeyUsageCertSign. Falls back to self-signed when paths unset.
DNS-01 challenges: Pluggable DNSSolver interface with script-based hook
implementation. User-provided scripts create/cleanup _acme-challenge TXT
records for any DNS provider. Configurable propagation wait. Enables
wildcard certs and non-HTTP-accessible hosts.
step-ca connector: Smallstep private CA via native /sign API with JWK
provisioner auth. Issuance, renewal, revocation. Registered as iss-stepca.
23 new tests across 3 files. CI test path widened to ./internal/connector/issuer/...
