Sidecar Authentication
The sidecar authenticates to ALTR’s SaaS control plane using key-pair authentication. Customers must generate a valid RSA key-pair before deploying a sidecar.
RSA Key Requirements
The following are requirements when generating the key pair:
Algorithm: RSA 2048 or higher
Private key: non-password-protected, PEM-encoded, PKCS#8 format
Public key: PEM-encoded, PKIX or PKCS#1
The private key can be mounted ALTR sidecar to “/app” with the name “private.pem”. Alternatively, you can specify a different key location as an environment variable.
