How Do I Obtain a TLS Key Certificate?

Scenario

If your ingress needs to use HTTPS, you must configure a secret of the IngressTLS or kubernetes.io/tls type when creating an ingress.

When creating a secret, ensure that the certificate file uploaded in the secret data must match the private key file. Otherwise, the certificate file becomes invalid.

Solution

Generally, you need to obtain a valid certificate from the certificate provider. If you want to use it in the test environment, you can create a certificate and private key by the performing the following steps.

Self-created certificates apply only to test scenarios. Such certificates are invalid and will affect browser access. Manually upload a valid one to ensure secure connections.

  1. Generate a tls.key.
    openssl genrsa -out tls.key 2048

    The command will generate a private tls.key in the directory where the command is executed.

  2. Generate a certificate using the private tls.key.
    openssl req -new -x509 -key tls.key -out tls.crt -subj /C=CN/ST=******/O=Devops/CN=example.com -days 3650

    The generated key must be in the following format:

    ----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
    ...........................................................
    -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----

    The generated certificate must be in the following format:

    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
    ................................................................
    -----END CERTIFICATE-----
  3. Import the certificate.

    When creating a TLS secret, import the certificate and private key file to the corresponding location.

Verification

The ingress address can be accessed through a browser. However, the certificate and secret are not issued by the CA, so the CA does not recognize them and shows a message saying they are insecure.
