Openshift-ansible: Named Certificate causes cert generation to fail.

Created on 14 Jun 2017  路  14Comments  路  Source: openshift/openshift-ansible

When installing openshift via ansible with a named certificate defined in the ansible hosts file the openshift certs are not created correctly. The cacert for the named cert is being added to /etc/origin/master/ca.crt instead of just /etc/origin/master/ca-bundle.crt. This is causing /etc/origin/master/ca.crt and /etc/origin/master/ca.key to mismatch which results in a failed install with the error: tls: private key does not match public key.

ansible --version
ansible 2.3.0.0

git describe
openshift-ansible-3.6.100-1-25-g1720a52
Steps To Reproduce
  1. Create ansible hosts file that defines a named certificate with a cacert.
  2. Run ansible playbook.
Expected Results

Openshift installs successfully.

Observed Results

Openshift fails to install due to ca.crt and ca.key not matching.

error: tls: private key does not match public key

I can confirm that renaming the 'cafile' to something other than 'ca.crt' fixes the issue. Thanks @arocki7 !

@cameron-scrace Could you share your inventory and in particular any certificate related variables?

openshift_master_named_certificates=[{"certfile": "/root/certs/named-server.crt", "keyfile": "/root/certs/named-server.key", "names": ["openshift.companyname.com"], "cafile": "/root/certs/named-ca.crt"}]
openshift_master_overwrite_named_certificates=true

As a work around I waited for the install to fail, then manually edited the generated /etc/origin/master/ca.crt and ran it again.

@cameron-scrace @abutcher it seems that this issue still exists even in openshift 3.11.104.

Unfortunately the ansible overwrite the ca.crt each time it's ran.

Please any other workaround ?

Confirmed this is occurring in 3.11.117 as well

Issue still occurs in 3.11.117.

Ran this script this on the masters as a workaround while the installer ran:

#!/bin/bash bundle=/etc/origin/master/ca-bundle.crt cert=/etc/origin/master/ca.crt while true do if [[ -f ${bundle} && -f ${cert} ]] then bundle_cksum=`cksum ${bundle}|awk '{print $1}'` cert_cksum=`cksum ${cert}|awk '{print $1}'` echo "cksums are ${bundle_cksum} ${cert_cksum} " if [[ ${bundle_cksum} -ne ${cert_cksum} ]] then cp ${bundle} ${cert} fi fi sleep 20 done

You have to wait for the initial install to fail before copying the files over each other. Otherwise, you will get an error that only one certificate is expected in ca.crt.

If you have your 'cafile' name as 'ca.crt', please change to something like 'custom_ca.crt'. Because the playbook just copies your named_certificate CA into /etc/origin/master/. If you use the same name as openshift self-signer, it's going to overwrite it.

I can confirm that renaming the 'cafile' to something other than 'ca.crt' fixes the issue. Thanks @arocki7 !

Thanks @arocki7 for the suggestion. I have been troubling myself with this issue for two weeks!
