Questions regarding Skupper mTLS

[benedictweis]

Hi there,

I am wondering if it is currently possible to use Skupper without mTLS. The use case being that the traffic that traverses clusters is often already encrypted by the application.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @benedictweis

In version 1.0 of skupper it looks like there was a (hidden) skupper init option --router-disable-mutual-tls. I am not sure how well tested it ever was.

In the most recent releases (2.0.0+) we didn't include a way to link routers without TLS - although there is no technical reason why that couldn't be added.

Thanks so much
