Invalid server certificate cause Mender client to exit

Description

I inadvertently neglected to install my custom server.crt file. This resulted in the Mender client exiting with the following log:

In this case, rollback is not performed.  The Mender client should not exit on error here, but rather do rollback, assuming we are in an OTA update.

Acceptance criteria

  • When booting after an OTA update, the Mender client should roll back, not exit, upon Mender configuration errors

OK! Closing.

The PR has been closed, so this can probably be closed too.

For the keystore the point is moot, since if you fail to load the keystore, the client will not know that it's in the middle of an update anyway. Error loading the tenant token isn't an error, since this is expected to be missing for onprem installations. That leaves only the certificate, which means that I think 2) is better. Just make sure the error is logged, so that even if the client starts successfully, you should easily be able to see why your connection is failing.
