πŸ’– NAME πŸ’–

TSSslServerCertUpdate β€” the Traffic Server TLS server cert glow-up function, bestie ✨


πŸŽ€ SYNOPSIS πŸŽ€

#include <ts/ts.h>

TSReturnCode TSSslServerCertUpdate(const char *cert_path, const char *key_path)

πŸ¦‹ DESCRIPTION πŸ¦‹

okay so TSSslServerCertUpdate() is the one that swaps in fresh server certs for the ones you already have configured in ssl_multicert.config. it figures out which mapping to touch by looking at the common name in cert_path β€” that's the vibe check it runs πŸ”

and like, if you set key_path to nullptr? no stress, it'll just use cert_path for both the certificate and the private key. two-for-one, we love efficiency πŸ’…

now the receipts: TSSslServerCertUpdate() returns TS_SUCCESS only when all three of these are true, no cap:

  • there actually exists a mapping for that common name β€” if there's no match, bestie, it's not happening
  • cert_path points at a valid cert
  • the context gets updated to use that cert

all three or nothing. it's giving main character energy with trust issues, and honestly? fair 🫢
