func AcquireSourceForSentinel

func AcquireSourceForSentinel(
	ctx context.Context,
) (*workloadapi.X509Source, bool)

AcquireSourceForSentinel initiates an asynchronous operation to obtain an X509Source from the SPIFFE workload API, using the context for cancellation and a correlation ID for logging purposes.

It attempts to create a new X509Source configured with the SPIRE server address from the environment, fetches the X509SVID from the source, and validates the SVID against a known VSecM Sentinel value to ensure the caller is operating within a trusted environment.

Parameters:

• ctx: A context.Context object used for cancellation and to carry metadata across API boundaries, including a correlation ID for tracking the operation in logs.

Returns:

• A pointer to a workloadapi.X509Source object if the source is successfully acquired and validated. This object can be used to obtain X.509 SVIDs for secure communication.
• A boolean flag indicating whether the source was successfully acquired (true) or not (false). If false, the source pointer will be nil.
