Improvement: Enable secure SSL certificate and hostname verification for internal traffic #11699

Open
@weizhouapache

Description

The required feature described as a wish

For internal traffic, it is common practice that HTTPS/TLS is used, but:

  • the TLS certificates are often self-signed, or issued by an internal CA (not a public one like Let’s Encrypt).
  • Sometimes services just use the server’s IP address instead of a DNS name.

Disabling SSL certificate and hostname verification increases compatibility, allowing CloudStack to interoperate with a wide range of hypervisors, networking equipment, and storage devices. This behavior is intentional by design, to ensure broader support across diverse environments. For example,

  • Connect to Vmware vCenter
  • Connect to Xenserver
  • Connect to some external storage or network devices

We could provide more flexibility and also stronger security, including but not limited to

  • Allow users to bring their own SSL certificates
  • Support host name (DNS) instead of host ip in SSL communication
  • Add an option for enforce SSL certificate verification
  • Add an option for enforce hostname verification
