Depends on #495

Summary

  • Add spec.trustManagerConfig.filterNonCACerts (Enabled/Disabled, default Disabled). When Enabled, the operator sets --filter-non-ca-certs=true the same way as filterExpiredCertificates.
  • Add spec.trustManagerConfig.webhookTLS:
    • certificateDuration — optional webhook TLS Certificate duration (Helm app.webhook.tls.certificate.duration). When unset, cert-manager's default duration is used.
    • approverPolicy.policyEnabled/Disabled (default Disabled). When Enabled, the operator creates CertificateRequestPolicy trust-manager-policy plus ClusterRole/ClusterRoleBinding so the cert-manager ServiceAccount can use that policy (Helm app.webhook.tls.approverPolicy.enabled). Nothing is created unless Enabled. If Enabled without the CRP CRD installed, reconcile fails until approver-policy is installed or policy is set to Disabled.
  • Enabled/Disabled TrustManager fields are typed as shared Mode (v1alpha1.Enabled / v1alpha1.Disabled): filterExpiredCertificates, filterNonCACerts, defaultCAPackage.policy, and webhookTLS.approverPolicy.policy. SecretTargetsPolicy is unchanged (Disabled/Custom).
  • TrustManagerStatus no longer copies spec (trust namespace, secret targets, default CA, filter policies). Status keeps conditions and observed trustManagerImage.
  • No operand version bump in this PR.

Depends on #495 (trust-manager v0.25.0). --filter-non-ca-certs exists only from v0.21.0; merging this onto v0.20.3 and setting Enabled will CrashLoop the operand. Merge 495 first.

Jira: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CM-1367

Test plan

  • go test ./pkg/controller/trustmanager/... ./api/operator/v1alpha1/...
  • CRD testsuite cases for filterNonCACerts
  • Unit tests for deployment args
  • Unit tests for webhook certificate duration reconcile (set / skip defaulted)
  • Unit tests for approver-policy CRP + RBAC (disabled skip, apply, missing CRD)
  • E2e: args + Bundle Group 7 (CA + leaf, filter on/off) — CI needs 495’s operand
  • Live cluster was tested with jetstack v0.24.0 (see comment)

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added filtering of non-CA certificates from synchronized bundles, disabled by default.
    • Added webhook TLS configuration for certificate duration and optional approver-policy integration.
    • Enabled approver policy creates the required certificate policy and access resources.
    • Configured certificate duration is applied to webhook certificates.
  • Changes

    • TrustManager status no longer reports several configuration and policy fields, including filtering settings, trust namespace, and secret-target policy.
    • Updated validation, deployment behavior, and configuration tooling to support these settings.

@arun717: This pull request references CM-1367 which is a valid jira issue.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the story to target the "5.1.0" version, but no target version was set.

Details

In response to this:

Summary

  • Bump the trust-manager operand from v0.20.3 to v0.24.0 (Makefile, related images, Helm bindata, Bundle CRD, CSV). --filter-non-ca-certs exists only from v0.21.0, so the API and the bump ship together.
  • Add spec.trustManagerConfig.filterNonCACerts (Enabled/Disabled, default Disabled) and echo it on status. When Enabled, the operator sets --filter-non-ca-certs=true the same way as filterExpiredCertificates.
  • Apply Helm 0.24 trust-manager-cluster-view (read-only bundles + aggregate-to-cluster-reader). This stays a separate ClusterRole so cluster-reader does not inherit operand write rules.

Jira: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CM-1367

Notes for reviewers

  • Bundle CRD diff is regenerated with make bundle (kustomize/operator-sdk indent). Content is v0.24 schema (CEL, length limits, description updates), not a YAML reformat. Helm output remains in config/crd/bases/; do not copy it onto bundle/manifests/.
  • test/go.mod stays github.com/cert-manager/trust-manager v0.20.3. go get @v0.24.0 pulled k8s 0.36 and broke openshift/api. E2e talks to the live Bundle CRD, not that module’s types.
  • images/ci/trustmanager.Dockerfile sets RELEASE_BRANCH=v0.24.0 and clones openshift/cert-manager-trust-manager. That fork’s latest tag is still v0.20.3; the Dockerfile clone will fail until midstream has the tag. CSV/RELATED_IMAGE uses quay.io/jetstack/trust-manager:v0.24.0.
  • cluster-view is applied at the end of RBAC reconcile. UpdateResourceLabels replaces labels, so the aggregate label is set again after that.

Test plan

  • go test ./pkg/controller/trustmanager/... ./api/operator/v1alpha1/...
  • CRD testsuite cases for filterNonCACerts
  • Unit tests for deployment args and cluster-view ClusterRole
  • E2e: args/status + Bundle Group 7 (CA + leaf, filter on/off)
  • Live cluster: local operator + jetstack v0.24.0 (details in a follow-up comment)

Walkthrough

The TrustManager API adds default-disabled non-CA certificate filtering and optional webhook TLS settings. The controller reconciles approver-policy resources, supports certificate duration, removes mirrored status fields, and adds API, controller, and end-to-end coverage.

Changes

TrustManager configuration and reconciliation

Layer / File(s) Summary
API, CRD, and apply-configuration contracts
api/operator/v1alpha1/trustmanager_types.go, config/crd/..., bundle/manifests/..., pkg/operator/applyconfigurations/...
The API and CRDs add filterNonCACerts and webhookTLS. Certificate-filtering and default-CA policies use Mode. Mirrored status policy fields are removed.
Webhook TLS and approver-policy reconciliation
pkg/controller/trustmanager/approverpolicy.go, pkg/controller/trustmanager/certificates.go, pkg/controller/trustmanager/install_trustmanager.go, config/rbac/role.yaml, pkg/controller/trustmanager/controller.go
Configured certificate duration is applied to the webhook Certificate. Enabled approver policy reconciles the CertificateRequestPolicy, ClusterRole, and ClusterRoleBinding. Required RBAC permissions are added.
Deployment arguments and observed status
pkg/controller/trustmanager/deployments.go, pkg/controller/trustmanager/utils.go, pkg/controller/trustmanager/test_utils.go, pkg/controller/trustmanager/install_trustmanager_test.go, pkg/operator/applyconfigurations/operator/v1alpha1/trustmanagerstatus.go
The controller compares policies with shared Enabled and adds the non-CA filtering argument when enabled. Observed status retains the TrustManager image.
API and end-to-end validation
api/operator/v1alpha1/tests/..., pkg/controller/trustmanager/*_test.go, test/e2e/trustmanager_bundle_test.go, test/e2e/trustmanager_test.go, test/e2e/trustmanager_helpers_test.go
Tests cover defaults, invalid values, policy updates, deployment arguments, certificate duration, approver-policy reconciliation, and bundle synchronization when non-CA filtering changes.

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 39f02

Enabling approver policy can prevent the webhook certificate from being issued, and sub-hour duration settings can leave reconciliation degraded. These configuration paths should be corrected before merge.

Full details: Test Structure And Quality

Explanation

The new Ginkgo tests have cluster-operation assertions without meaningful failure messages. In test/e2e/trustmanager_test.go:626-629 and 638-641, deployment lookup, container, and argument assertions are bare. In test/e2e/trustmanager_bundle_test.go:1112, 1117, 1143, and the surrounding Eventually(...).Should(Succeed()) calls are also bare. This matches the explicit failure example in the check. The new waits have lowTimeout/highTimeout and poll intervals. The new resources use existing cleanup helpers, and each It block tests one related behavior.

Resolution

Add contextual messages to every new assertion in the added Ginkgo It blocks. Include resource and expected state in deployment lookup, container, argument, ConfigMap lookup, and outer Eventually assertions. For example, use g.Expect(err).NotTo(HaveOccurred(), "failed to get TrustManager deployment") and add messages to the corresponding BeEmpty, ContainElement, and Eventually(...).Should(Succeed(), "...") assertions.

Full details: Microshift Test Compatibility

Explanation

The PR adds unprotected Ginkgo tests that use the operator.openshift.io TrustManager API. api/operator/v1alpha1/groupversion_info.go defines this group, and the added tests call createTrustManager/trustManagerClient in test/e2e/trustmanager_bundle_test.go and test/e2e/trustmanager_test.go. The enclosing Describe blocks have only generic feature labels. They have no [Skipped:MicroShift], [apigroup:operator.openshift.io], or IsMicroShiftCluster() guard. The new ConfigMap, Deployment, Namespace, and trust.cert-manager.io Bundle operations are otherwise supported, but the added tests still reference the unavailable OpenShift API group.

Resolution

MicroShift compatibility notice: This test uses APIs or features that are not available on MicroShift. If this repository's presubmit CI does not already include MicroShift jobs, please verify your test works on MicroShift by running an additional CI job: /payload-job periodic-ci-openshift-microshift-release-4.22-periodics-e2e-aws-ovn-ocp-conformance If these tests are not applicable to MicroShift, add [apigroup:operator.openshift.io] to the affected test names or enclosing Describe, or add [Skipped:MicroShift]. A runtime exutil.IsMicroShiftCluster() skip is another valid option.

Live cluster verification (local operator against the cluster).

Setup:

  1. Applied current CRDs from this branch (config/crd, including TrustManager + Bundle).
  2. Ran the operator from the working tree (cert-manager-operator start --unsupported-addon-features=TrustManager=true) with RELATED_IMAGE_CERT_MANAGER_TRUST_MANAGER=quay.io/jetstack/trust-manager:v0.24.0.
  3. Applied CertManager/cluster, then TrustManager/cluster with default spec.

Results:

  1. TrustManager Ready; status trustManagerImage=quay.io/jetstack/trust-manager:v0.24.0; default args did not include --filter-non-ca-certs.
  2. filterNonCACerts: Enabled → status filterNonCACertsPolicy=Enabled, deployment gained --filter-non-ca-certs=true, pod Ready, no CrashLoop.
  3. Source ConfigMap in cert-manager with an openssl-generated CA (basicConstraints CA:TRUE) plus leaf (CA:FALSE). Bundle bundle-filter-non-ca synced to tm-filter-test. With the filter on, the target ConfigMap contained only the CA. After Disabled, the same Bundle resynced CA + leaf, and the arg was gone.
  4. ClusterRole trust-manager-cluster-view existed with rbac.authorization.k8s.io/aggregate-to-cluster-reader=true. cluster-reader had get/list/watch on bundles in trust.cert-manager.io.

Expose Enabled/Disabled on spec and status and pass
--filter-non-ca-certs=true when Enabled. Requires a trust-manager
operand that supports the flag (v0.21.0+).

duration was previously managed by trust-manager-controller, allowing
createOrApplyCertificate to apply the unset field and restore cert-manager’s
default. Distinguish controller-owned duration from cert-manager’s defaulted
duration using the existing ownership metadata or tracking mechanism, and add a
reconciliation test covering removal of an explicit CertificateDuration.

Reject invalid certificateDuration values at the CRD boundary.

The CRD declares certificateDuration only as type: string, so "not-a-duration" is admitted. The field then decodes as *metav1.Duration; metav1.Duration.UnmarshalJSON calls time.ParseDuration, which fails before validateTrustManagerConfig or certificate reconciliation runs. Add duration-format validation to reject invalid resources at admission instead of leaving them unreconcilable.

Remove approver-policy resources when the policy is disabled.

When ApproverPolicy.Policy changes from Enabled to Disabled, this branch exits before reconciling the existing CertificateRequestPolicy, ClusterRole, and ClusterRoleBinding. The binding therefore continues to grant the cert-manager ServiceAccount use access to the policy, contrary to the disabled resource lifecycle.

Delete the binding, role, and policy in the disabled path. Grant the controller delete permission for policy.cert-manager.io/certificaterequestpolicies and declare delete permission for all three resources in the RBAC markers/manifests.

cert-manager approver-policy omitted allowed usages deny all CertificateRequest default usages documentation

💡 Result:

<search_synthesis>
In cert-manager&#39;s approver-policy, if an allowed field is omitted in a CertificateRequestPolicy, it is treated as a "deny all" for that specific attribute in the CertificateRequest [1][2][3]. Specifically for the usages field, if it is set to an empty list ([]) or left unset in the policy, no spec.keyUsages are permitted in the CertificateRequest [4][5][6]. When the approver-policy controller evaluates a request, it uses the allowed block to define the permitted attributes [1][4]. If a field is omitted in the allowed block, the policy dictates that the corresponding field in the CertificateRequest must either be omitted or empty for the request to be permitted [4][5]. Because usages is a list of allowed key usages, omitting it effectively restricts the CertificateRequest to zero permitted usages [4][5][6]. To implement a default "deny all" behavior, you can define a policy that restricts all attributes [7]. If a CertificateRequest contains any attribute not present in the allowed block, the policy will deny the request [1][2][8]. If multiple policies are bound, a request is approved only if at least one policy permits it; if appropriate policies exist but none permit the request, it is denied [1][3][8].

Allow the generated CertificateRequest key usages.

The embedded Certificate omits spec.usages, so cert-manager v1.20.3 requests digital signature and key encipherment by default. Because this policy omits allowed.usages, approver-policy permits no key usages. The webhook CertificateRequest is therefore not permitted by this policy and can remain unapproved.

Add both usages under allowed:

Reconcile removal of an explicit certificate duration.

If CertificateDuration changes from a value to unset, getCertificateObject leaves desired.Spec.Duration nil. certificateModified then returns false while the existing Certificate still has the old duration, so createOrApplyCertificate skips the server-side apply and preserves the custom duration.

The API contract states that an unset Certificate duration uses cert-manager's 90-day default. Distinguish a cert-manager-defaulted duration from a duration previously owned by trust-manager-controller, and apply the nil field when the controller owns it. Add a reconciliation test for removing an explicit duration.

In `@pkg/controller/trustmanager/certificates.go` around lines 123 - 125, The
certificateModified logic must detect removal of an explicit Certificate
duration when desired.Spec.Duration is nil but the existing duration was
previously managed by trust-manager-controller, allowing
createOrApplyCertificate to apply the unset field and restore cert-manager’s
default. Distinguish controller-owned duration from cert-manager’s defaulted
duration using the existing ownership metadata or tracking mechanism, and add a
reconciliation test covering removal of an explicit CertificateDuration.

🟡 Minor · Reject sub-hour certificateDuration values at the TrustManager… · trustmanager_types.go:203-218

api/operator/v1alpha1/trustmanager_types.go:203-218
🗄️ Data Integrity & Integration | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject sub-hour certificateDuration values at the TrustManager API. The generated TrustManager CRD defines certificateDuration only as a string, so values such as 30m are accepted. createOrApplyCertificate calls getCertificateObject, which forwards every non-nil value to Certificate.Spec.Duration. The vendored cert-manager v1.20.3 API defines MinimumCertificateDuration as 1h, so cert-manager can reject the generated Certificate. That error returns from Patch and fails TrustManager reconciliation.

Add API/CRD validation that requires certificateDuration to be at least 1h, then regenerate the CRD. API validation prevents an invalid TrustManager object from reaching cert-manager and is the appropriate primary enforcement point.
