TLS

Warning

By default, the Merlin CLI will trust any TLS certificate presented by the Merlin Server.

The CLI will communicate with the Merlin Server over TLS. When the secure flag is set, the CLI will verify the Server’s TLS certificate. If the Server’s certificate is not signed by a trusted CA, the CLI will fail to connect. Use the tlsCA flag to specify a custom CA certificate file to validate and trust the Server’s certificate.

Mutual TLS

The CLI can also use mutual TLS to authenticate to the Merlin Server. The CLI must use certificates that the Server will trust. Use the tlsCert and tlsKey flags to specify the certificate and private key files to use for mutual TLS. The provided TLS certificate should be signed by a CA that the Server trusts.
