Summary\n- bind cluster node IDs only to parsed certificate CN/SAN identity fields\n- reject raw certificate-byte markers and non-exact identities\n- add regression coverage for both rejection paths\n\n## Verification\n- cargo fmt --check\n- git diff --check\n- targeted cargo test could not run because this environment cannot resolve the locked crates.io dependency version

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
    • Tightened TLS node identity validation to accept only correctly formatted, non-zero numeric node identifiers.
    • Prevented node IDs from being extracted from unparsed certificate bytes.
    • Improved certificate identity verification for malformed or invalid certificate data.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The TLS identity path now accepts only exact node identity values from parsed certificates. Raw DER byte scanning was removed. Tests verify rejection of unparsed bytes and embedded markers.

Changes

TLS identity parsing

Layer / File(s) Summary
Strict identity extraction
src/cluster/security.rs
parse_node_id_from_identity_str now requires the exact lrtmp2-node- prefix and 1–20 ASCII digits representing a non-zero u64. Raw certificate-byte scanning and its fallback were removed.
Identity validation tests
src/cluster/security.rs, tests/cluster_security.rs
Tests now reject unparsed certificate bytes and identity values with embedded markers. Exact identity values remain accepted.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 1fbf0

A peer can be authenticated as an identity from its issuing certificate rather than its own leaf certificate. Restrict identity extraction to the leaf certificate before merging.

- Line 215: Update node_id_from_peer_certs to inspect only certs.first() rather
than scanning the complete peer_certificates() chain in control and media paths,
preserving identity extraction from the validated leaf only. Add a regression
test covering an identity-free leaf with an identity-bearing issuer and verify
the issuer identity is not selected.

P2 Badge Update the documented mTLS certificate format

This now accepts only an exact lrtmp2-node-{id} CN/DNS SAN/URI SAN value, but docs/clustering.md still tells operators that the server scans certificate DER for the marker. Consequently, an existing certificate whose CN or SAN merely contains the marker (for example, node-lrtmp2-node-42) was accepted before this change but will make every control and media authentication fail after an upgrade. Update the deployment documentation and migration guidance to require the exact identity value.
