Affected functionality
When Spire agent connects via grpc to Spire server it is using configuration e.g.:
server_address = "spire-server-xyz.spiffe.io"
server_port = "8081"
This information is naturally present in grpc context as ":authority" metadata in spire server core. Further, when spire server does node attestation it initiates downstream grpc calls to plugins. This overrides original ":authority" header with "localhost" since all plugins are next to the server.
For our tenancy model we use spire domains as selectors in node attestation plugins so we would like to "preserve" original authority context.
See example usage in unit test
Feel free to suggest alternative places for this e.g. middleware or let me know if you think its not a good idea
Description of change
Spire server forwards original ":authority" grpc context metadata to outgoing node attestation plugins under another context key
