Subject: [PATCH pve-cluster v4 1/3] fix #6701: Add keyUsage extension to root CA
Date: Tue, 17 Mar 2026 17:53:56 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260317165358.620306-2-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260317165358.620306-1-a.bied-charreton@proxmox.com>
Add the keyUsage[0] extension to the PVE root CA to comply with RFC
5280, which Python decided to enforce as of 3.13 by adding the
VERIFY_X509_STRICT flag from its `ssl` module [1], which breaks some
clients like Ansible. This change of behavior is documented by
`create_default_context` [2].
The authorityKeyIdentifier [3] and subjectKeyIdentifier [4] extensions are
required by RFC 5280 as well, however OpenSSL adds them in by default
based on /etc/ssl/openssl.cnf, so there is no need for explicitly
passing them.
Test script:
```
import socket, ssl
ctx = ssl.create_default_context(cafile="/etc/pve/pve-root-ca.pem")
ctx.wrap_socket(socket.create_connection(("localhost", 8006)),
server_hostname="localhost")
print("success")
```
