Add feature flag to only do CAA checking at Finalize time

Open aarongable opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

We currently have slightly complex, slightly fragile CAA rechecking logic to ensure that we have up-to-date CAA records at issuance time even if the validation documents are more than 8 hours old.

We could greatly simplify this by a) not doing CAA checking at validation time; and b) always doing CAA checking at issuance/finalize time.

This should probably be a two-step process:

  1. always check CAA at finalization time;
  2. never check CAA at validation time.

Thanks to #7058, we have spare capacity to do (1).
