Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: The Ingress Virtual IP management configuration was using a fixed string for its password Consequence: If two VRRP keepalived instances in separate clusters had the same Virtual Router ID they would have the same password and potentially join the clusters having the Virtual IP fall where it shouldn't. Fix: Make the password change depending on cluster configuration Result: Different cluster Ingress Virtual IPs will have a different password.

Description Antoni Segura Puimedon 2020-02-14 18:30:38 UTC
Description of problem:
In case two clusters ended up by chance on the same Ingress virtual router id, there would be membership issues due to the fact that the password is static, in contrast with the other two VIPs, which have it include the cluster name.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 4.4 ane 4.3


How reproducible: To have the issue you need to deploy two clusters in the same multicast domain in which:
* fletcher8(CLUSTER_A_NAME-vip) = x = fletcher8(CLUSTER_B_NAME)


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Find names that collide under fletcher8
2. Deploy both clusters with the names as above
2. Look at Ingress VIP membership status in keepalived logs (crictl keepalived logs)

Actual results:
Nodes from both clusters are seen as belonging to a single virtual router

Expected results:
Keepalived wrong password messages.


Additional info:
In order to simplify the reproduction, one can just check that the keepalived configuration does not change even if you deploy with different cluster names.

in process of deploying OCP 4.5, hope to get it today
