===== Tipi di Issuer =====
| Tipo Issuer | Caso d'uso | Supporto PQ |
|-------------|------------|-------------|
| SelfSigned | Testing, Bootstrapping | No |

----
===== ClusterIssuer con CA propria =====
==== Passo 1: Creazione Secret CA ====
# Certificato e chiave CA come Secret
kubectl create secret tls ca-key-pair \
--cert=intermediate-ca.pem \
--key=intermediate-ca.key \
--namespace cert-manager
Oppure come YAML:
# ca-secret.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: ca-key-pair
namespace: cert-manager
type: kubernetes.io/tls
data:
tls.crt:
tls.key:
==== Passo 2: Definizione ClusterIssuer ====
# cluster-issuer.yaml
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
name: internal-ca-issuer
spec:
ca:
secretName: ca-key-pair
kubectl apply -f cluster-issuer.yaml
# Verifica stato
kubectl get clusterissuer internal-ca-issuer
----

# Riferimento Issuer

kubectl apply -f certificate.yaml
# Verifica stato
kubectl get certificate -n production
kubectl describe certificate app-tls -n production
# Visualizza Secret
kubectl get secret app-tls-secret -n production -o yaml

===== Annotazione Ingress (automatico) =====
# ingress.yaml
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
name: app-ingress
namespace: production
annotations:
# cert-manager crea automaticamente il certificato
cert-manager.io/cluster-issuer: "internal-ca-issuer"

----
===== Integrazione Vault PKI =====
# vault-issuer.yaml
apiVersion: cert-manager.io/v1
kind: ClusterIssuer
metadata:
name: vault-issuer
spec:
vault:
server: https://vault.example.com
path: pki/sign/server-role
caBundle:
auth:
kubernetes:
role: cert-manager
mountPath: /v1/auth/kubernetes
secretRef:
name: vault-token
key: token
**Configurazione Vault:**
# Attivazione PKI Engine
vault secrets enable pki
vault secrets tune -max-lease-ttl=87600h pki
# Generazione Root-CA (o importazione)
vault write pki/root/generate/internal \
common_name="Internal Root CA" \
ttl=87600h
# Ruolo per cert-manager
vault write pki/roles/server-role \
allowed_domains="example.com,svc.cluster.local" \
allow_subdomains=true \
max_ttl=720h
# Auth Kubernetes
vault auth enable kubernetes
vault write auth/kubernetes/config \
kubernetes_host="https://kubernetes.default.svc"
----
===== Monitoraggio =====
==== Metriche Prometheus ====
# ServiceMonitor per cert-manager
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: ServiceMonitor
metadata:
name: cert-manager
namespace: monitoring
spec:
selector:
matchLabels:
app.kubernetes.io/name: cert-manager
endpoints:
- port: http-metrics
**Metriche importanti:**
| Metrica | Descrizione | Soglia alert |
|---------|-------------|--------------|
| ''certmanager_certificate_expiration_timestamp_seconds'' | Timestamp scadenza | < 7 giorni |
| ''certmanager_certificate_ready_status'' | Stato Ready | != 1 |
| ''certmanager_certificate_renewal_timestamp_seconds'' | Ultimo rinnovo | - |
==== Regole Alert ====
# PrometheusRule
apiVersion: monitoring.coreos.com/v1
kind: PrometheusRule
metadata:
name: cert-manager-alerts
namespace: monitoring
spec:
groups:
- name: cert-manager
rules:
- alert: CertificateExpiringSoon
expr: |
certmanager_certificate_expiration_timestamp_seconds - time() < 604800
for: 1h
labels:
severity: warning
annotations:
summary: "Certificato {{ $labels.name }} scade in < 7 giorni"
- alert: CertificateNotReady
expr: |
certmanager_certificate_ready_status != 1
for: 10m
labels:
severity: critical
annotations:
summary: "Certificato {{ $labels.name }} non pronto"
----
===== Risoluzione problemi =====
# Stato Certificate
kubectl get certificate -A
kubectl describe certificate -n
# Verifica CertificateRequest
kubectl get certificaterequest -A
kubectl describe certificaterequest
# Log cert-manager
kubectl logs -n cert-manager -l app=cert-manager -f
# Eventi
kubectl get events -n cert-manager --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'
**Problemi comuni:**
| Problema | Causa | Soluzione |
|----------|-------|-----------|
| ''Issuer not found'' | ClusterIssuer vs. Issuer | Verificare Kind |
| ''Secret not found'' | Secret CA non creato | Creare Secret |
| ''Failed to generate CSR'' | Algoritmo chiave | Verificare Algorithm/Size |
| ''Challenge failed'' | Problema ACME | Verificare DNS/HTTP Challenge |
----
===== Post-Quantum con CA propria =====
**Certificati PQ con cert-manager:**
Cert-manager stesso non supporta algoritmi PQ, ma è possibile utilizzare una CA abilitata PQ e creare i certificati manualmente.
// Creazione Secret Kubernetes con certificato PQ
using var intermediate = new X509Certificate2("intermediate.pfx", "password");
// Caricamento CSR da Kubernetes
var csr = CertificateRequest.LoadSigningRequest(csrBytes, HashAlgorithmName.SHA384);
// Emissione certificato PQ-Hybrid
var cert = csr.Create(
intermediate,
DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(90),
Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray(),
CryptoMode.Hybrid);
// Salvataggio come Secret Kubernetes
var secret = new V1Secret
{
Metadata = new V1ObjectMeta { Name = "pq-tls-secret" },
Type = "kubernetes.io/tls",
Data = new Dictionary
{
["tls.crt"] = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(cert.ExportCertificatePem()),
["tls.key"] = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(cert.GetECDsaPrivateKey().ExportPkcs8PrivateKeyPem())
}
};
