RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

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).

Upstream patches posted for review:

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

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.

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

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

Build for testing is available here:

   https://brewweb.engineering.redhat.com/brew/buildinfo?buildID=560605

Verified with openvswitch-2.7.0-7.git20170530.el7fdb.x86_64

Tests including:
SSL connection to north DB
SSL connection to south DB
SSL connection between DB and ovn-controller on the same host
SSL connection between DB and ovn-controller on the different hosts
