While the implementation correctly sets the certificate validity to ~5.5 years (2000 days), which aligns with the PR objective of reducing renewal frequency, it's worth noting that this is a significant deviation from typical certificate lifetimes. Consider adding a comment explaining this decision to help future maintainers understand the trade-off between operational convenience and security best practices. Add a comment above the command: - name: Generate new keys
+ # Using extended certificate validity (2000 days ≈ 5.5 years) to reduce operational overhead
+ # Note: This duration is specifically chosen for development/testing purposes
command: "{{ target_dir }}/release/helper keygen --name {{ helper_domain }} --tls-cert {{ ansible_env.HOME }}/draft/config/pub/h{{ identity }}.pem --tls-key {{ ansible_env.HOME }}/draft/config/h{{ identity }}.key --mk-public-key {{ ansible_env.HOME }}/draft/config/pub/h{{ identity }}_mk.pub --mk-private-key {{ ansible_env.HOME }}/draft/config/h{{ identity }}_mk.key --tls-valid-days 2000"Let's verify if there are any security-related configurations or documentation that might need updating: ✅ Verification successfulConsider adding documentation about certificate validity in the README The codebase has detailed documentation about certificate generation in the README.md, but it lacks information about certificate validity periods. Since we're introducing an extended validity period of 2000 days, it would be helpful to document this in the README's IPA-specific certificates section.
### IPA-specific certs
- We check in self-signed certs that are only for local development (and are not secure! They are in a public repo!)
