Not sure if this helps, but I am able to reproduce the same 401 from a curl command (outside of the authenticator pod).
In this case I am just using the server_certificate.cert file that is generated by the https://github.com/cyberark/kubernetes-conjur-deploy/start script and uploaded as the config map.
Request (without passing --key or --cert), not sure if one of those is what is missing :
curl -X POST -v --cacert server_certificate.cert https://conjurmaster.dtt-iam.xyz/authn-k8s/conjur-authenticator/deloittepilot/host%2Fconjur%2Fauthn-k8s%2Fconjur-authenticator%2Fapps%2Fconjur-follower%2Fservice_account%2Fconjur-cluster/authenticate

The error in the console is the same “CONJ00029E Client SSL certificate is missing from the header”:
