TLS Verification with consul-backinator

[patcable]

Hi there,

I'm running into a TLS verification error using consul-backinator. When I run the following (with and without -tls-skip-verify):

# consul-backinator backup -addr=consul.dev.blahblah:8550 -scheme https -key=vault -ca-cert=/etc/consul/tls/ca.pem
2016/12/05 16:26:29 [Error] Failed to backup key data: Get https://consul.dev.blahblah:8550/v1/kv/?consistent=&recurse=: remote error: tls: bad certificate

What's interesting is that when I run:

# openssl verify -CAfile /etc/consul/tls/ca.pem /etc/consul/tls/cert.pem
/etc/consul/tls/cert.pem: OK

Additionally, when I run openssl s_client I do get "Verify return code: 0 (ok)." I feel like the -ca-path variable is being ignored, because if I leave the -CAfile option off openssl, I do get verification errors. Is there some way to get more verbose output out of consul-backinator?

@patcable Could you verify your certificates for me and make sure they are set for both serverAuth and clientAuth ... I'm not able to reproduce this locally.

Using latest release version ...

charlie:temp ahurt$ consul-backinator -v
1.4

Skipping verification with no cert passed ...

charlie:temp ahurt$ consul-backinator backup -addr=test.dc1.consul:8080 -scheme=https -tls-skip-verify
2016/12/05 21:14:05 [Success] Backed up 521 keys from test.dc1.consul:8080/ to consul.bak
Keep your backup and signature files in a safe place.
You will need both to restore your data.

Passing a cert without skipping verification ...

charlie:temp ahurt$ consul-backinator backup -addr=test.dc1.consul:8080 -scheme=https -ca-cert=/opt/consul/ssl/demo-root.cer
2016/12/05 21:14:26 [Success] Backed up 521 keys from test.dc1.consul:8080/ to consul.bak
Keep your backup and signature files in a safe place.
You will need both to restore your data.

No skip and no cert ...

charlie:temp ahurt$ consul-backinator backup -addr=test.dc1.consul:8080 -scheme=https
2016/12/05 21:14:32 [Error] Failed to backup key data: Get https://test.dc1.consul:8080/v1/kv/?consistent=&recurse=: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority

I used the following guide referenced from the Consul docks to test the setup ...
