Hi, I’ve started writing a compute driver for Microsoft Azure and I was hoping to get some guidance from the list.
I need to be able to create a mutually authenticated SSL session. The client connection has a .pem file which will be used in the session. An X509 certificate within an Azure subscription is used to verify the request. I’m trying to figure out the way to do this currently. Azure differs from the other compute drivers in that there is no sign in through oauth so no setting of an http auth header. The right way seems to be to somehow to pass through a key_file/cert_file (I have the .pem) to the underlying ssl connection in LibcloudHTTPSConnection. If I could get guidance some around the best way to do this it would be great. I have a feeling I’ll overengineer things otherwise ☹ Thanks.
