Description

If the upki config does not exist, or the cache directory is empty, we should allow the connection to proceed, otherwise clients will be broken in containers or fresh systems that have not yet initialized the upki store (or systems that removed upki).

Research direction

Start by locating the upki-openssl connection setup and any tests covering missing configuration or an empty cache. Verify the current behavior when the upki config is absent and when the cache directory has no entries. Done means both cases allow the connection to proceed while initialized upki stores continue to work.
