	// ActiveRoot returns the currently active root CA for this

	ActiveRoot() (string, error)

	// ActiveIntermediate returns the current signing cert used by this provider

	GenerateIntermediate() (string, error)

	// Sign signs a leaf certificate used by Connect proxies from a CSR. The PEM

	// SignIntermediate will validate the CSR to ensure the trust domain in the
	// URI SAN matches the local one and that basic constraints for a CA certificate

	// CrossSignCA must accept a CA certificate from another CA provider
	// and cross sign it exactly as it is such that it forms a chain back the the

	// Alternative Name, SubjectKeyID and other relevant extensions must be kept.
	// The resulting certificate must have a distinct Serial Number and the
	// AuthorityKeyID set to the CAProvider's current signing key as well as the
	// Issuer related fields changed as necessary. The resulting certificate is
