# Listener mTLS with SPIFFE X.509-SVID Peer Identity (require_named)
#
# The proxy authorizes a client at the TLS handshake by the SPIFFE ID in its
# X.509-SVID client certificate. The certificate must chain to the trusted CA
# and its SPIFFE ID must be in trusted_spiffe_ids. An empty allowlist accepts any
# valid SVID the CA signs.
#
#   Client (SVID) -> mTLS + SPIFFE -> Praxis :8443 -> HTTP -> Backend :3000
#
# ⚠️  EXPERIMENTAL: This example uses the `spiffe` experimental feature.
# Not recommended for production use. Build with --features spiffe.
#
# Usage:
#   cargo run -p praxis-proxy --features spiffe -- -c examples/configs/protocols/tls-mtls-spiffe.yaml
