When fetching certificates, ztunnel will authenticate to the CA with its own identity, but request the identity of another workload.
Critically, the CA must enforce that the ztunnel has permission to request that identity.
Requests for identities not running on the node are rejected.
This is critical to ensure that a compromised node does not compromise the entire mesh.
