UCL-certs

Add UCL Certs to linux / python environment

Export cert chain from browser

Note: Make sure you select the idp-dev.cs.ucl.ac.uk host in the Certificate Hierarchy and Export as Base64 certificate chain

This will create ~/Downloads/idp-dev.cs.ucl.ac.uk.cer, there should be 3 certificates in that file.

grep 'END CERT' ~/Downloads/idp-dev.cs.ucl.ac.uk.cer
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Update script with those certs

See add-ucl-to-ca-certs.sh

Build docker file

For example:

docker build -t ucl-certs . --progress=plain

Test

docker run -it  ucl-certs bash

root@54fe5912c222:/# curl -s https://idp-dev.cs.ucl.ac.uk > /dev/null && echo curl works!
curl works!
root@54fe5912c222:/# python3 -c 'import requests ; requests.get("https://idp-dev.cs.ucl.ac.uk"); print("python works!")'
python works!

Notes

• The python solution relies on setting REQUESTS_CA_BUNDLE. The attached docker file sets this via docker's ENV. Similar steps should be taken in k8s/helm.
