Prerequisites

Many of the examples in this directory have common prerequisites.

TLS certificates

Unless otherwise mentioned, the TLS secret used in examples is a 2048 bit RSA key/cert pair with an arbitrarily chosen hostname, created as follows

$ openssl req -x509 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout tls.key -out tls.crt -subj "/CN=nginxsvc/O=nginxsvc"
Generating a 2048 bit RSA private key
................+++
................+++
writing new private key to 'tls.key'
-----

$ kubectl create secret tls tls-secret --key tls.key --cert tls.crt
secret "tls-secret" created

CA Authentication

You can act as your very own CA, or use an existing one. As an exercise / learning, we're going to generate our own CA, and also generate a client certificate.

These instructions are based on CoreOS OpenSSL. See live doc.

Generating a CA

First of all, you've to generate a CA. This is going to be the one who will sign your client certificates. In real production world, you may face CAs with intermediate certificates, as the following:

$ openssl s_client -connect www.google.com:443
[...]
---
Certificate chain
 0 s:/C=US/ST=California/L=Mountain View/O=Google Inc/CN=www.google.com
   i:/C=US/O=Google Inc/CN=Google Internet Authority G2
 1 s:/C=US/O=Google Inc/CN=Google Internet Authority G2
   i:/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA
 2 s:/C=US/O=GeoTrust Inc./CN=GeoTrust Global CA
   i:/C=US/O=Equifax/OU=Equifax Secure Certificate Authority

To generate our CA Certificate, we've to run the following commands:

$ openssl genrsa -out ca.key 2048
$ openssl req -x509 -new -nodes -key ca.key -days 10000 -out ca.crt -subj "/CN=example-ca"

This will generate two files: A private key (ca.key) and a public key (ca.crt). This CA is valid for 10000 days. The ca.crt can be used later in the step of creation of CA authentication secret.

Generating the client certificate

The following steps generate a client certificate signed by the CA generated above. This client can be used to authenticate in a tls-auth configured ingress.

First, we need to generate an 'openssl.cnf' file that will be used while signing the keys:

[req]
req_extensions = v3_req
distinguished_name = req_distinguished_name
[req_distinguished_name]
[ v3_req ]
basicConstraints = CA:FALSE
keyUsage = nonRepudiation, digitalSignature, keyEncipherment

Then, a user generates his very own private key (that he needs to keep secret) and a CSR (Certificate Signing Request) that will be sent to the CA to sign and generate a certificate.

$ openssl genrsa -out client1.key 2048
$ openssl req -new -key client1.key -out client1.csr -subj "/CN=client1" -config openssl.cnf

As the CA receives the generated 'client1.csr' file, it signs it and generates a client.crt certificate:

$ openssl x509 -req -in client1.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out client1.crt -days 365 -extensions v3_req -extfile openssl.cnf

Then, you'll have 3 files: the client.key (user's private key), client.crt (user's public key) and client.csr (disposable CSR).

Creating the CA Authentication secret

If you're using the CA Authentication feature, you need to generate a secret containing all the authorized CAs. You must download them from your CA site in PEM format (like the following):

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
[....]
-----END CERTIFICATE-----

You can have as many certificates as you want. If they're in the binary DER format, you can convert them as the following:

$ openssl x509 -in certificate.der -inform der -out certificate.crt -outform pem

Then, you've to concatenate them all in only one file, named 'ca.crt' as the following:

$ cat certificate1.crt certificate2.crt certificate3.crt >> ca.crt

The final step is to create a secret with the content of this file. This secret is going to be used in the TLS Auth directive:

$ kubectl create secret generic caingress --namespace=default --from-file=ca.crt=<ca.crt>

Note: You can also generate the CA Authentication Secret along with the TLS Secret by using:

$ kubectl create secret generic caingress --namespace=default --from-file=ca.crt=<ca.crt> --from-file=tls.crt=<tls.crt> --from-file=tls.key=<tls.key>

Test HTTP Service

All examples that require a test HTTP Service use the standard http-svc pod, which you can deploy as follows

$ kubectl create -f http-svc.yaml
service "http-svc" created
replicationcontroller "http-svc" created

$ kubectl get po
NAME             READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
http-svc-p1t3t   1/1       Running   0          1d

$ kubectl get svc
NAME             CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)            AGE
http-svc         10.0.122.116   <pending>     80:30301/TCP       1d

You can test that the HTTP Service works by exposing it temporarily

$ kubectl patch svc http-svc -p '{"spec":{"type": "LoadBalancer"}}'
"http-svc" patched

$ kubectl get svc http-svc
NAME             CLUSTER-IP     EXTERNAL-IP   PORT(S)            AGE
http-svc         10.0.122.116   <pending>     80:30301/TCP       1d

$ kubectl describe svc http-svc
