💁🏻‍♂️ Introduction

🤷🏻‍♂️ Rationale

As mentioned in the mTLS chapter of the Handbook of confirm IT, we’re making extensive use of mTLS.

This is all fine and awesome, but certificate handling can be a PITA. Thus we had to come up with a maintainable solution to issue client certificates.

Because all of our authorised users have Mattermost access, we thought it’s a nice idea to issue certificates directly via Mattermost.

This is how CertBob was born. Since then we continuously improved, and extended CertBob.
