TLS certificate error

Traefik Traefik v2 (latest)

Hi,
I am trying to configure an http router with terminated tls on the external balancer and docker container:

EXTERNAL LOAD BALANCER <=> HTTPS <=> TRAEFIK <=> HTTPS <=> APPLICATION

I inserted the following labels:

labels:
      - "traefik.enable=true"
      - "traefik.http.routers.snipe-it.rule=Host(`asset.company.it`)"
      - "traefik.http.routers.snipe-it.entrypoints=websecure"
      - "traefik.http.services.snipe-it.loadbalancer.server.port=443"
      - "traefik.http.services.snipe-it.loadbalancer.server.scheme=https"
      - "traefik.http.routers.snipe-it.tls=true"
      - "traefik.http.services.snipe-it.loadbalancer.passhostheader=true"

but I get the following error:
{"level": "debug", "msg":"'500 Internal Server Error' caused by: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: cannot validate certificate for 172.21.0.9 because it doesn't contain any IP SANs", "time": "2023-11-05T01:31:30Z"}

i tried using the option serversTransports.insecureSkipVerify: true both in the static conf and as a label but it doesn't work, how can i make traefik not do this verification on the certificate?

both on the external balancer and on the container there is a wildcard certificate *.company.it

thanks

Share your full Traefik static and dynamic config, and docker-compose.yml if used.

Is your external LB terminating TLS? Is it configured with a cert? What cert to you use between LB and Traefik? What cert do you use between Traefik and app?

I tried putting in the servertransport suggestions but nothing changed

yes @bluepuma77 the tls is terminated on both the external LB and the container containing the web app, both have a valid, non-selfsigned certificate with cn= *.company.it

thanks

any news @bluepuma77 ?
now if i regenerate the app side certificate with openssl including the ip i see "500 Internal Server Error' caused by: tls: failed to verify certificate: x509: certificate signed by unknown authority"

thanks

Did you try this in traefik.yml (doc)?

## Static configuration
serversTransport:
  insecureSkipVerify: true

Note that this should go into a dynamic.yml file, not into static traefik.yml:

# Dynamic Configuration
http:
  routers:

(It probably works because you read traefik.yml again with providers.file)

worked by inserting the static part and using labels on the container instead of the dynamic part

Labels are "dynamic" config, loaded via providers.docker, not by providers.file :grin:

Thank you; saved me from my agony
