Doc Text:
If the specified router certificate, key, or CA did not end with a new line character the router deployment would fail. A new line is now appended to each of the input files ensuring this problem doesn't occur.

Description Brian J. Beaudoin 2019-01-24 03:15:29 UTC
Description of problem:

When using a certificate (cert.pem) downloaded from Red Hat IdM, the router deployment and redeploy-router-certificates.yml playbooks, an error is generated stating the certificate and key must be in the same file due to a missing '\n' at the end of the file.

Version-Release number of the following components:
$ rpm -q openshift-ansible
openshift-ansible-3.11.59-1.git.0.ba8e948.el7.noarch
$ rpm -q ansible
ansible-2.6.11-1.el7ae.noarch
$ ansible --version
ansible 2.6.11
  config file = /home/bbeaudoin/.ansible.cfg
  configured module search path = [u'/home/bbeaudoin/.ansible/plugins/modules', u'/usr/share/ansible/plugins/modules']
  ansible python module location = /usr/lib/python2.7/site-packages/ansible
  executable location = /usr/bin/ansible
  python version = 2.7.5 (default, Sep 12 2018, 05:31:16) [GCC 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-36)]

How reproducible:

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Generate a certificate using Red Hat IdM (or any other tool) without a '\n' after -----END CERTIFICATE-----
2. Run the installation or use the redeploy-router-certificates.yml playbook

Actual results:
__main__.RouterException: Could not perform router preparation: error: router could not be created: the default cert must contain a private key

Expected results:
Safe concatenation of files that may be generated (rather than cut-and-pasted) that appear to be correct with exception of a missing nonprintable character.

Additional info:

Concatenation resulted in a temporary file that contained this string in the middle:

-----END CERTIFICATE----------BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----

As the error suggested the certificate and key should have been concatenated before running the playbook, the missing nonprintable character may not be obvious if the file is not closely inspected.

Examining the certificate using `openssl x509` or other certificate utilities show a valid certificate file. Opening in a text editor does not reveal an issue due to the missing character being nonprintable.

If the files are concatenated by the user (in response to the error) before running the playbook without fixing the error, the playbooks will happily write or replace the router certificates (as the private key now exists in the concatenated file due to double-concatenation) but despite the playbook running to completion without error the router deployment will fail.

Comment 2 Scott Dodson 2019-01-25 14:35:58 UTC
Change has merged to release-3.11 branch, can you validate that resolves the issue with the problematic inputs you were using?

Comment 3 Brian J. Beaudoin 2019-01-28 13:44:02 UTC
Works as expected. Ran the playbook ensuring the secret was replaced, the contents were valid, and the router deployed properly.

Comment 4 Scott Dodson 2019-01-28 13:52:05 UTC
In openshift-ansible-3.11.75-1, why didn't this got ON_QA when the new tag was cut?

Comment 6 Gaoyun Pei 2019-01-29 13:44:04 UTC
Could reproduce this issue with openshift-ansible-3.11.59-1.git.0.ba8e948.el7.noarch

1. Prepare a custom router cert file which doesn't have line break in the bottom line.

[root@gpei-preserve-ansible-slave host]# cat -e /path/to/custom_router_1_no_end_linebreak.crt
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----$
MIIDQjCCAioCCQDnQLeTFb3pAjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQUFADBrMQswCQYDVQQGEwJY$
...
/QTdf8gk3AiClnpJsM3bnuIy2lqzY7mebky//JBz9M3RwCfKDz7EJuZ12mqu8p+S$
xfqh3NbO4g355/CppBlIX3BjwLtcbg==$
-----END CERTIFICATE-----[root@gpei-preserve-ansible-slave host]# 


2. Set the custom router cert and key in inventory file
openshift_hosted_router_certificate={"certfile": "/path/to/custom_router_1_no_end_linebreak.crt", "keyfile": "/path/to/custom_router_1.key", "cafile": "/path/to/custom_router_1_rootca.crt"}


3. Run redeploy-router-certificates.yml playbook against a 3.11 cluster

With openshift-ansible-3.11.75-1.git.0.95e8e2a.el7.noarch, the redeploy-router-certificates.yml playbook could be finished without such error.
router-certs secret was updated to use the new provided cert and key, router pod was running well after redeployment.
