GET /api/trusted-cas
List the CA certificates this key server trusts.
WARNING: CA TRUST IS NOT ACCESS. Trusting a CA is ONE record, and it does not let
leaves signed by that CA connect. A leaf must ALSO be ENROLLED --
POST /api/certificates/enroll -- which writes a second record keyed on the exact
certificate digest plus an enabled transport principal. An unenrolled leaf signed by a
trusted CA is refused in the TLS handshake with no diagnosis the client can read, so it
presents as a client defect.
certificateId is CANONICAL BASE64 of an 8-byte id -- the same spelling the certificate
lookup routes return and the spelling POST /api/trusted-cas/remove takes, so an id read
here can be sent there unchanged. It is NOT the lower-case hex a thick client renders for
the same field; the two do not interoperate byte-for-byte.
DER bodies are omitted here. Read one with POST /api/certificates/by-subject and
includeBodies: true.
Authentication
Send the session id as Authorization: Bearer <session id>, and an RFC 9449 DPoP proof in the DPoP header if your session is bound to a key. The two are required together, not as alternatives — see Authenticating and Proving you hold your key.
There is no session cookie on any response and none is read on any request. Do not set credentials: "include" on a browser fetch.
Request
No request body.

401
No live session, or a DPoP proof that did not verify.
SESSION_NOT_FOUND -- the credential names no session this Gateway holds.
SESSION_EXPIRED -- it aged out. Both carry reauth: true; obtain a new credential
rather than retrying.
PROOF_* -- the sender constraint refused. See the DPoP section of this document for the
full table; PROOF_MALFORMED is a 400 and PROOF_REPLAY_CACHE_FULL a 503, and the
rest are here.
SCOPED_CREDENTIAL_EXPIRED -- a scoped browser credential passed its fixed lifetime. Use
does not extend it: an idle timeout would be refreshed by exactly the traffic a stolen
handle produces.
403
Authenticated, and refused. The codes differ in what they say about where the refusal
came from: ACCESS_DENIED and PRINCIPAL_DISABLED are the key server's, while
NOT_WRITABLE, BUILT_IN_PRINCIPAL, OWN_ACCOUNT and
OBJECT_NOT_IN_CREDENTIAL_SCOPE are decided by the Gateway before anything is sent.
500
A fault rather than a refusal.
OP_FAILED is the catch-all: the key server refused in words that match no classified
pattern, so the Gateway cannot say more than that the operation did not happen. Some key
server refusals that are conceptually a caller error arrive here rather than as a 4xx,
because the wire carries no distinguishing code -- where a route can recognise one from
its message it maps it, and each such mapping is documented on the operation.
503
A capacity ceiling or a missing deployment prerequisite. retryable says which.
A scope of session or process names the ceiling that was hit, and the response
carries Retry-After.
Error handling
Every failure answers JSON carrying at least code and detail. Match on code — detail is written for a human debugging the call and its wording is not part of the contract. See the error model.
