cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift 1.14.0

Issued: 2024-07-08

The following advisory is available for the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift 1.14.0:

Version 1.14.0 of the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift is based on the upstream cert-manager version v1.14.5. For more information, see the cert-manager project release notes for v1.14.5.

New features and enhancements

FIPS compliance support

With this release, FIPS mode is now automatically enabled for cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift. When installed on an OpenShift Container Platform cluster in FIPS mode, cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift ensures compatibility without affecting the cluster’s FIPS support status.

NCM issuer

The cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift now supports the Nokia NetGuard Certificate Manager (NCM) issuer. The ncm-issuer is a cert-manager external issuer that integrates with the NCM PKI system using a Kubernetes controller to sign certificate requests. This integration streamlines the process of obtaining non-self-signed certificates for applications, ensuring their validity and keeping them updated.

The NCM issuer is validated only with version 1.1.1 and the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift version 1.14.0. This version handles tasks such as issuance, renewal, and managing certificates for the API server and ingress controller of OpenShift Container Platform clusters.

  • With this release, you can use DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for performing the self-checks during the ACME DNS-01 challenge verification. The DNS self-check method can be controlled by using the command line flags, --dns01-recursive-nameservers-only and --dns01-recursive-nameservers. For more information, see Customizing cert-manager by overriding arguments from the cert-manager Operator API.

Release notes for cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift 1.12.0

Issued: 2023-10-02

The following advisories are available for the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift 1.12.0:

Version 1.12.0 of the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift is based on the upstream cert-manager version v1.12.4. For more information, see the cert-manager project release notes for v1.12.4.

Bug fixes

  • Previously, you could not configure the CPU and memory requests and limits for the cert-manager components such as cert-manager controller, CA injector, and Webhook. Now, you can configure the CPU and memory requests and limits for the cert-manager components by using the command-line interface (CLI). For more information, see Overriding CPU and memory limits for the cert-manager components. (OCPBUGS-13830)

  • Previously, if you updated the ClusterIssuer object, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift could not verify and update the change in the cluster issuer. Now, if you modify the ClusterIssuer object, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift verifies the ACME account registration and updates the change. (OCPBUGS-8210)

  • Previously, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift did not support enabling the --enable-certificate-owner-ref flag. Now, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift supports enabling the --enable-certificate-owner-ref flag by adding the spec.controllerConfig.overrideArgs field in the cluster object. After enabling the --enable-certificate-owner-ref flag, cert-manager can automatically delete the secret when the Certificate resource is removed from the cluster. For more information on enabling the --enable-certificate-owner-ref flag and deleting the TLS secret automatically, see Deleting a TLS secret automatically upon Certificate removal (CM-98)

  • Previously, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift could not pull the jetstack-cert-manager-container-v1.12.4-1 image. The cert-manager controller, CA injector, and Webhook pods were stuck in the ImagePullBackOff state. Now, the cert-manager Operator for Red Hat OpenShift pulls the jetstack-cert-manager-container-v1.12.4-1 image to run the cert-manager controller, CA injector, and Webhook pods successfully. (OCPBUGS-19986)
