Hello Li. Firstly I really appreciate this tutorial. It saved me tons of hours figuring this out on my own.
I do however have some questions....
How do we go about renewal the certificates, or is this automatic? Do we need to keep the dummy-service and dummy-route around after we obtain the certificates or is that required during certificate renewal?
Hi Michael,
Thanks for the comment.
How do we go about renewal the certificates, or is this automatic?
Yes, it is automatic. You can control the renewal time by config.renew_threshold_days (default 14 days)
Do we need to keep the dummy-service and dummy-route around after we obtain the certificates or is that required during certificate renewal?
Yes, you need to keep the dummy service and route for the renewal.
I hope it helps.
@@liyangau thank you

Hello Li,
great channel and work :)!
I'm having some troubles with mTLS (mutual auth/ Two way SSL auth) Kong with Cassandra (but i would say it's the same with PG). I' do see any case to send certificates or key to server in kong.conf or in any config file by Kong Docs.
Have you ever work with this case or give me some advice?
Thanks in advance for any reply!
Hi @Vittorio, thanks for leaving your comment. I wrote a blog post before about using mTLS which should cover everything you need to know for using this plugin. I have not made a video about it because I don't think there will be many viewers. You can find the blog post here tech.aufomm.com/how-to-use-kong-mtls-plugin/
