Fix cert validation become for remote_src certificates#97
Closed
Conversation
When elasticsearch_tls_remote_src is true, certificate files live on the remote host and may require elevated privileges to read (e.g. FreeIPA-managed certs in /etc/pki). The validation tasks previously hardcoded become: false, which caused permission denied errors when validating remote certificates. Set become dynamically based on _validate_remote_src so that local certs are validated without privilege escalation while remote certs use become as expected.

When elasticsearch_tls_remote_src is true, certificate files live on the remote host and may require elevated privileges to read (e.g. FreeIPA certs in /etc/pki). The validation tasks previously hardcoded become: false, causing permission denied errors. Now become is set dynamically based on _validate_remote_src — local certs are validated without privilege escalation, remote certs use become as expected. Replaces #97 (rebased on current main).
