Hi,

I've played a bit with patroni and my understanding is that you would have each 
node being a dedicated endpoint/client.
That would translate by a HTTP/service per node. 
As far as I have seen, the host certificate has the client specs. The http cert 
would not be usable as a client certificate. However, they need to be signed by 
the same authority. This would mean you can't use a dedicated sub-ca for the 
http certificates.
Maybe it is possible to create PATRONI-API and PATRONI-CLIENT services with the 
specs you need and assign them to each node. But I don't know how or if it's 
possible.


On the certmonger side, you would need to add a post renew script to change the 
ownership of the cert and key so they are readable by your patroni user.


I didn't implement it but when I looked into it, that was my conclusion.
I might be wrong, but I'm interested to know if you manage to implement this.


Maybe you could consider the acme provider of freeipa. 


For the user cert, I'm not sure I can help.

Hi. I'm trying to use FreeIPA as a certificate authority. My goal is to issue 
certificates for patroni cluster nodes and postgres user, and use certmonger 
afterwards for they renewal. While issuing the certificates for hosts is 
nobrainer I'm having troubles with postgres client certificate.
How would you recommend to approach my issue? I'm confused with HTTP/service 
abstraction and think that for my case it's impossible, cause I can't have 
multiple "postgres" services, or multiple postgres aliases (idea is to use 
postgres SAN name, but I'm not even sure auth will work). I'm also can't have 
just one postgres user and therefore certificate for every database cluster.
