Certificate invalid: expired

Thanks for sharing this workflow example.

I followed the steps on Mac OS 10.15.7

I think there was a step missing to add the host name and IP to the host, This was only mentioned to be done on the vagrant host. So I did this as well:

user@MacBookPro13 step-ssh-example % echo "192.168.0.101   testhost" | sudo tee -a /etc/hosts

I still got a certificate invalid error though. Here are my final steps:

user@MacBookPro13 step-ssh-example % step ssh certificate testuser testuser_ecdsa --ca-url https://localhost --root step/certs/root_ca.crt
