Please Help grpc TLS settings

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)
1

I am deploying Traefik 2.9.1 version in kubernetes environment through helm-chart. I used websecure entrypoint and ingressroute to route to grpc server.

After setting everything up, when I tested the app -> Traefik -> gRPC, I am getting a TLS Handshake error (PEER_DID_NOT_RETURN_A_CERTIFICATE) from the gRPC server.

The TLS communication between the app and the gRPC server is working fine without Traefik in the middle.

Below is an excerpt of my source code

In a architecture like this, is it possible to have the app connect to Traefik and the grpc via mTLS? I'm also wondering if I'm missing any configuration.
( I tried serversTransport.insecureSkipVerify but not worked )

And when configuring the server solely with helm-chart, without using a separate provider, I was wondering if it is possible to handle it with DNS-based communication instead of IP-based communication. (If there is documentation, I would appreciate a link).

Incidentally, server.key, server.crt, client.key, and client.crt generated from the same ca are registered in k8s secret, and gRPC is using server.key, server.crt, and client.crt to process tls communication, and app is using client.key and client.crt to make requests. Traefik has registered TLSOption for ca only.

Add informations) I was informed that additional ServersTransport settings were required, so I set them up, but I'm still experiencing the same issue. I need to do a TLS handshake with Traefik on gRPC, but I've set it to run over mTLS, and Traefik doesn't seem to be able to submit the certificate. What process am I missing?

You can set a serverTransport globally or create a serverTransport as dynamic config. But then you need to assign it to the service.

You said to assign it to a Service, is that the same as assigning it to an IngressRoute?

Sorry, I am only using Docker, no k8s. I would assume it’s kind of like the middleware you have declared and then assigned to the router.
