Description Marcin Mirecki 2016-11-17 14:36:08 UTC

It would be very beneficial to have OVN support SSL.

This would be required at 2 levels:

- Controller<-->northd communication
- Access to north DB by external clients (including support in python API)

It should be possible to set this up before starting up OVN, not as startup parameters (OVN could be running as a service).

Comment 3 Yaniv Lavi 2017-03-08 14:34:55 UTC

I'm raising the severity as this is the main issue blocking RHV ability to take OVN out of tech-preview.

Comment 4 Anita Tragler 2017-03-27 14:05:12 UTC

Can this wait for FD production July release with OVS 2.7/RHEL 7.4, or is backport needed on OVS 2.6 (no sure if backport is feasible)?
In the interim it can be made available with OVS 2.7 in FD beta channel?

We will not be able to take OVN out of tech preview without this.
As long as we can test with the OVS beta channel I think we should be good until July.

Comment 6 Lance Richardson 2017-05-17 17:59:24 UTC

This work is complete upstream, will be available when we package OVS 2.7.

Comment 7 Lance Richardson 2017-05-26 16:53:45 UTC

Available in ovs 2.7 fd beta package, including fix for BZ 1446538.

Build for testing is available here:
