:context: configuring-secure-communication-with-redis

toc::[]

Using the Transport Layer Security (TLS) encryption with {gitops-title}, you can secure the communication between the Argo CD components and Redis cache and protect the possibly sensitive data in transit.

You can secure communication with Redis by using one of the following configurations:

* Enable the `autotls` setting to issue an appropriate certificate for TLS encryption.
* Manually configure the TLS encryption by creating the `argocd-operator-redis-tls` secret with a key and certificate pair.
Both configurations are possible with or without the High Availability (HA) enabled.

.Prerequisites
* You have access to the cluster with `cluster-admin` privileges.
* You have access to the {product-title} web console.
* {gitops-title} Operator is installed on your cluster.

= Configuring TLS for Redis with autotls disabled

You can manually configure TLS encryption for Redis by creating the `argocd-operator-redis-tls` secret with a key and certificate pair. In addition, you must annotate the secret to indicate that it belongs to the appropriate Argo CD instance. The steps to create a certificate and secret vary for instances with High Availability (HA) enabled.

.Procedure

. Log in to the {product-title} web console.

. Create an Argo CD instance:

.. In the *Administrator* perspective of the web console, use the left navigation panel to go to *Administration* -> *CustomResourceDefinitions*.

.. Search for `argocds.argoproj.io` and click `ArgoCD` custom resource definition (CRD).

.. On the *CustomResourceDefinition details* page, click the *Instances* tab, and then click *Create ArgoCD*.

.. Edit or replace the YAML similar to the following example:
+

<2> The namespace where you want to run the Argo CD instance.
<3> The flag value that enables the HA feature. If you do not want to enable HA, do not include this line or set the flag value as `false`.

.. Click *Create*.

= Configuring TLS for Redis with autotls enabled

You can configure TLS encryption for Redis by enabling the `autotls` setting on a new or already existing Argo CD instance. The configuration automatically provisions the `argocd-operator-redis-tls` secret and does not require further steps. Currently, {product-title} is the only supported secret provider.

[NOTE]
====
By default, the `autotls` setting is disabled.
====

.Procedure

. Log in to the {product-title} web console.

. Create an Argo CD instance with `autotls` enabled:

.. In the *Administrator* perspective of the web console, use the left navigation panel to go to *Administration* -> *CustomResourceDefinitions*.

.. Search for `argocds.argoproj.io` and click `ArgoCD` custom resource definition (CRD).

.. On the *CustomResourceDefinition details* page, click the *Instances* tab, and then click *Create ArgoCD*.

.. Edit or replace the YAML similar to the following example:
+
.Example Argo CD CR with autotls enabled

----
apiVersion: argoproj.io/v1alpha1

----
<1> The name of the Argo CD instance.
<2> The namespace where you want to run the Argo CD instance.

<4> The flag value that enables the HA feature. If you do not want to enable HA, do not include this line or set the flag value as `false`.
+
[TIP]
====
Alternatively, you can enable the `autotls` setting on an already existing Argo CD instance by running the following command:
[source,terminal]
----
$ oc patch argocds.argoproj.io <instance-name> --type=merge -p '{"spec":{"redis":{"autotls":"openshift"}}}'
----

.. Click *Create*.

$ oc get pods -n <namespace> <1>
----
<1> Specify a namespace where the Argo CD instance is running, for example `openshift-gitops`.
