# Credential routing and contained access

## Reuse boundary

## Supported use cases

Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.

# SSH Certificate Issuance
# Decision-bound SSH certificates
ops-warden is the custodian-domain SSH CA tool. It signs short-lived certificates,
maintains the actor inventory, and exposes `warden sign` as the cert_command
contract for ops-bridge and other callers.
warden sign with local and OpenBao backends and adm/agt/atm actors.
Production environments point the vault-compatible backend at OpenBao; labs use
the local ssh-keygen CA backend without platform dependencies.
## Reuse boundary
Direct Tooling contact is a declared gap; certificate reachability is not target authorization.
## Supported use cases
- U06: Operator or automation obtains a bounded SSH certificate and maintains private connectivity
## Evidence and integration
- [SCOPE.md](../../SCOPE.md)
- [README.md](../../README.md)
Assessment: CUST-WP-0081, 2026-10-14. Relations identify interfaces to compose; they do not certify native integration. Existing external evidence levels are retained where present. New entries use conservative C1/R0 until consumer assessment exists.
