enrol-broker: run in serving stack + fix step signer path end-to-end
Verifying the step signer against a real step-ca surfaced two real bugs the mock signer had hidden, plus made the bench CA actually initialise: - signer.go: move --not-after from `step ca token` (validity caps ~1h -> "token validity too long") to `step ca sign` (it is the CERT lifetime). Without this the step signer never issues a cert. - dot1x-bench compose: DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_PASSWORD_FILE pointed at a file that does not exist at first init (it is an INPUT path), so `step ca init` failed and never wrote secrets/password. Use DOCKER_STEPCA_INIT_PASSWORD (the value) which the entrypoint writes to secrets/password, where bootstrap + broker read. - bootstrap.sh: self-heal the root-owned ./pki Docker auto-creates; detect the CA password at $STEPPATH/password or secrets/password (varies by image version); raise authority.claims.maxTLSCertDuration so 720h fleet certs are allowed (stock cap 24h, which also blocked bootstrap's own RADIUS cert); fix RADIUS cert paths to write via the /export mount (were host paths run inside the container, so they never resolved). - serving stack: add the enrol-broker service (temporary home; nginx already proxies /enrol/) defaulting to the zero-dependency lab path (mock signer + insecure loopback admin), with ENROL_* knobs to switch to step + mTLS. - verify-serving.sh: exercise request -> approve -> cert through the deployed nginx /enrol/ proxy. - TODO #11: record the step-signer verification + the two fixes. Step signer VERIFIED end-to-end against a real step-ca: issued cert chains to the fleet root, EKU clientAuth, hostnqn derived from serial.

|

(`serving/docker-compose.yml`, `enrol-broker` service + `ENROL_*` in

`serving/.env.example`) so a single `compose up` in `serving/` brings the
|

`/enrol/` endpoint up while the host side is built. Defaults to the
|

zero-dependency lab path — **`mock` signer** (ephemeral CA; certs NOT trusted by
|

RADIUS/NVMe) + **plaintext loopback admin** (`ENROL_ADMIN_INSECURE=true`). The
|
||||
serving nginx already proxies `/enrol/`→`127.0.0.1:9090`. **SPLIT BACK OUT:** the
|

broker's proper home is a CA-co-located stack (it's still defined in
|
||||
`dot1x-bench/` next to step-ca); real signing needs the fleet CA. Don't run both
|

copies on one host (they collide on 9090/9443). To use real signing from the

serving stack meanwhile: set `ENROL_SIGNER=step` + `ENROL_STEP_CA_URL` at a

reachable step-ca, populate `serving/enrol-pki/`, and `ENROL_ADMIN_INSECURE=false`.

**STEP SIGNER VERIFIED end-to-end 2026-06-28** (broker → real step-ca → signed

|
||||
Verification found + fixed two things the `mock` path had hidden:
|
||||
- **BUG FIXED (`signer.go`):** `--not-after` was passed to `step ca token`
|
||||
(validity capped ~1h → "token validity too long") instead of `step ca sign`.
|
||||
Moved to the sign step. Without it the step signer never issues a cert.
|
||||
- **CA CLAIM REQUIRED:** a stock step-ca caps certs at 24h, so 720h is rejected
|
||||
("authorized maximum certificate duration of 24h"). `dot1x-bench/step-ca/bootstrap.sh`
|
||||
now raises `authority.claims.maxTLSCertDuration` (+restarts the CA) — this also
|
||||
unblocks bootstrap's own 720h RADIUS cert. Any other CA needs the same claim.
|
||||
- **BENCH-VERIFY still open:** issued cert actually authenticates EAP-TLS through
|
||||
FreeRADIUS (next, before host enrolment).
