Steps to Reproduce

I was playing around with template files and noticed that the notBefore and notAfter values in template files are ignored by the step-cli.

You can easily reproduce it when you use the fields notBefore and/or notAfter in a template file and create a certificate. You can see an example in the Actual behavior section.

You can use this for testing:

{
  "notBefore": "2020-01-01T00:00:00Z",
  "notAfter": "2030-01-01T00:00:00Z"
}
Your Environment
  • OS - Fedora 42
  • step CLI Version - CLI/0.28.7 (linux/amd64)
Expected Behavior

When specifing the notBefore and/or notAfter fields I would expect that the dates will be carried over to the actual certificate. The fields are visible in the certificate.go.

Actual Behavior

When specifing a wrong value you can see from the error that it actually reads the value:

Additional Context

My use-case for this would be to create something like standalone cert-profiles that are fully defined as code and don't need the CLI parameters. Then you can just specify the parts that change like the Subject and SAN and then just have to add the template
