The fields in the certs are meant to hold the original binary representation of this data, not some ascii-encoded version. The only time we should be colon-hex-encoding fields is for display purposes or marshaling through non-TLS mediums (like RPC).

# Connect - Agent HTTP API
|
|
|
|
The `/agent/connect` endpoints interact with [Connect](/docs/connect/index.html)
|
|
with agent-local operations.
|
|
|
|
These endpoints may mirror the [non-agent Connect endpoints](/api/connect.html)
|
|
in some cases. Almost all agent-local Connect endpoints perform local caching
|
|
to optimize performance of Connect without having to make requests to the server.
|
|
|
|
## Authorize
|
|
|
|
This endpoint tests whether a connection attempt is authorized between
|
|
two services. This is the primary API that must be implemented by
|
|
[proxies](/docs/connect/proxies.html) or
|
|
[native integrations](/docs/connect/native.html)
|
|
that wish to integrate with Connect. Prior to calling this API, it is expected
|
|
that the client TLS certificate has been properly verified against the
|
|
current CA roots.
|
|
|
|
The implementation of this API uses locally cached data
|
|
and doesn't require any request forwarding to a server. Therefore, the
|
|
response typically occurs in microseconds to impose minimal overhead on the
|
|
connection attempt.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |
|
|
| ------ | ---------------------------- | -------------------------- |
|
|
| `POST` | `/agent/connect/authorize` | `application/json` |
|
|
|
|
The table below shows this endpoint's support for
|
|
[blocking queries](/api/features/blocking.html),
|
|
[consistency modes](/api/features/consistency.html),
|
|
[agent caching](/api/features/caching.html), and
|
|
[required ACLs](/api/index.html#authentication).

|
### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `Target` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service that is being
|
|
requested.
|
|
|
|
- `ClientCertURI` `(string: <required>)` - The unique identifier for the
|
|
requesting client. This is currently the URI SAN from the TLS client
|
|
certificate.
|
|
|
|
- `ClientCertSerial` `(string: <required>)` - The colon-hex-encoded serial
|
|
number for the requesting client cert. This is used to check against
|
|
revocation lists.
|
|
|
|
### Sample Payload
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Target": "db",
|
|
"ClientCertURI": "spiffe://dc1-7e567ac2-551d-463f-8497-f78972856fc1.consul/ns/default/dc/dc1/svc/web",
|
|
"ClientCertSerial": "04:00:00:00:00:01:15:4b:5a:c3:94"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sample Request
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
$ curl \
|
|
--request POST \
|
|
--data @payload.json \
|
|
http://127.0.0.1:8500/v1/agent/connect/authorize
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Sample Response
|
|
|
|
```json
|
|
{
|
|
"Authorized": true,
|
|
"Reason": "Matched intention: web => db (allow)"
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Certificate Authority (CA) Roots
|
|
|
|
This endpoint returns the trusted certificate authority (CA) root certificates.
|
|
This is used by [proxies](/docs/connect/proxies.html) or
|
|
[native integrations](/docs/connect/native.html) to verify served client
|
|
or server certificates are valid.
|
|
|
|
This is equivalent to the [non-Agent Connect endpoint](/api/connect.html),
|
|
but the response of this request is cached locally at the agent. This allows
|
|
for very fast response times and for fail open behavior if the server is
|
|
unavailable. This endpoint should be used by proxies and native integrations.
|
|

## Service Leaf Certificate
|
|
|
|
This endpoint returns the leaf certificate representing a single service.
|
|
This certificate is used as a server certificate for accepting inbound
|
|
connections and is also used as the client certificate for establishing
|
|
outbound connections to other services.
|
|
|
|
The agent generates a CSR locally and calls the
|
|
[CA sign API](/api/connect/ca.html) to sign it. The resulting certificate
|
|
is cached and returned by this API until it is near expiry or the root
|
|
certificates change.
|
|
|
|
This API supports blocking queries. The blocking query will block until
|
|
a new certificate is necessary because the existing certificate will expire
|
|
or the root certificate is being rotated. This blocking behavior allows
|
|
clients to efficiently wait for certificate rotations.
|
|
|
|
| Method | Path | Produces |

### Parameters
|
|
|
|
- `Service` `(string: <required>)` - The name of the service for the leaf
|
|
certificate. This is specified in the URL. The service does not need to
