Automatsko upravljanje certifikatima u Kubernetesu s cert-managerom i vlastitom PKI.

# Dodavanje Helm repozitorija
helm repo add jetstack https://charts.jetstack.io
helm repo update
 
# Instalacija cert-managera
helm install cert-manager jetstack/cert-manager \
    --namespace cert-manager \
    --create-namespace \
    --set installCRDs=true \
    --set prometheus.enabled=true
 
# Provjera instalacije
kubectl get pods -n cert-manager

# CA certifikat i ključ kao Secret
kubectl create secret tls ca-key-pair \
    --cert=intermediate-ca.pem \
    --key=intermediate-ca.key \
    --namespace cert-manager

Ili kao YAML:

kubectl apply -f cluster-issuer.yaml

# Status certifikata
kubectl get certificate -A
kubectl describe certificate <name> -n <namespace>
 
# Provjera CertificateRequest
kubectl get certificaterequest -A
kubectl describe certificaterequest <name>
 
# Logovi cert-managera
kubectl logs -n cert-manager -l app=cert-manager -f
 
# Događaji
kubectl get events -n cert-manager --sort-by='.lastTimestamp'

Česti problemi:

// Stvaranje Kubernetes Secreta s PQ certifikatom
using var intermediate = new X509Certificate2("intermediate.pfx", "password");
 
// Učitavanje CSR iz Kubernetesa
var csr = CertificateRequest.LoadSigningRequest(csrBytes, HashAlgorithmName.SHA384);
 
// Izdavanje PQ-Hybrid certifikata
var cert = csr.Create(
    intermediate,
    DateTimeOffset.UtcNow,
    DateTimeOffset.UtcNow.AddDays(90),
    Guid.NewGuid().ToByteArray(),
    CryptoMode.Hybrid);
 
// Spremanje kao Kubernetes Secret
var secret = new V1Secret
{
    Metadata = new V1ObjectMeta { Name = "pq-tls-secret" },
    Type = "kubernetes.io/tls",
    Data = new Dictionary<string, byte[]>
    {
        ["tls.crt"] = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(cert.ExportCertificatePem()),
        ["tls.key"] = Encoding.UTF8.GetBytes(cert.GetECDsaPrivateKey().ExportPkcs8PrivateKeyPem())
    }
