Hi Darren,

I am deploying at my lab currently but, when we get more familiar we will proceed with production.  I tried yes even with 2.3.8 and I am facing an issue, I thought it could be because of my certificates, and when I am reading more on this I saw a note in the reference document that "A sample set of certificates and associated objects is available at src/lib/asiolink/testutils/ca". I have downloaded the source from GIT and from the folder kea-master\kea-master\src\lib\asiolink\testutils\ca I used the following certificates as follows
  "trust-anchor": "/root/kea-server.crt"
 "cert-file": "/root/kea-server.csr"
 "key-file": "/root/kea-server.key"

But with this, I am getting the following error
11:33:40.411 DEBUG [kea-dhcp4.hooks/13148.140464316582080] HOOKS_STD_CALLOUT_REGISTERED hooks library /opt/tcpwave/lib/kea/hooks/libdhcp_ha.so registered standard callout for hook leases4_committed at address 0x7fc05b249e70 2023-06-28 11:33:40.413 ERROR [kea-dhcp4.ha-hooks/13148.140464316582080] HA_CONFIGURATION_FAILED failed to configure High Availability hooks library: bad TLS config for server dhcp1: load of cert file '/root/kea-server.csr' failed: no start line


Thanks

    Hi Kraishak,

    When are you deploying?  You may want to test with 2.3.8 as the
    release of the next stable (2.4.0) is coming soon.  As for certificate
    use, I am not an expert in that area, but I believe that the .pem
    format is most common and correct.

    Thank you,

    Darren Ankney

    the kea 2.2.0 version the last stable one (Yes as its the latest

    but it does not seems to work as expected, When I was reading more
    on the certificates section I see a line saying "using HTTPS in
    the HA setup required use of the Control Agent on all peers", so
    just to rule out my issue with certificates, do we need to
    use/configure Control agent on all peer for TLS even after
    enabling multi-threading?
