Certificate/v1

A Certificate resource should be created to ensure an up to date and signed x509 certificate is stored in the Kubernetes Secret resource named in spec.secretName. Documentation For additional details regarding install parameters check: https://ibm.biz/icpfs39install. License By installing this product you accept the license terms https://ibm.biz/icpfs39license. The stored certificate will be renewed before it expires (as configured by spec.renewBefore).

If true, a file named keystore.p12 will be created in the target Secret resource, encrypted using the password stored in passwordSecretRef. The keystore file will only be updated upon re-issuance. A file named truststore.p12 will also be created in the target Secret resource, encrypted using the password stored in passwordSecretRef containing the issuing Certificate Authority
spec.keystores.pkcs12.passwordSecretRef object PasswordSecretRef is a reference to a key in a Secret resource containing the password used to encrypt the PKCS12 keystore.

spec.privateKey object Options to control private keys used for the Certificate.
spec.privateKey.algorithm string Algorithm is the private key algorithm of the corresponding private key for this certificate. If provided, allowed values are either RSA,Ed25519 or ECDSA If algorithm is specified and size is not provided, key size of 256 will be used for ECDSA key algorithm and key size of 2048 will be used for RSA key algorithm. key size is ignored when using the Ed25519 key algorithm.
spec.privateKey.encoding string The private key cryptography standards (PKCS) encoding for this certificate's private key to be encoded in. If provided, allowed values are PKCS1 and PKCS8 standing for PKCS#1 and PKCS#8, respectively. Defaults to PKCS1 if not specified.
spec.privateKey.rotationPolicy string RotationPolicy controls how private keys should be regenerated when a re-issuance is being processed. If set to Never, a private key will only be generated if one does not already exist in the target spec.secretName. If one does exists but it does not have the correct algorithm or size, a warning will be raised to await user intervention. If set to Always, a private key matching the specified requirements will be generated whenever a re-issuance occurs. Default is 'Never' for backward compatibility.
spec.privateKey.size integer Size is the key bit size of the corresponding private key for this certificate. If algorithm is set to RSA, valid values are 2048, 4096 or 8192, and will default to 2048 if not specified. If algorithm is set to ECDSA, valid values are 256, 384 or 521, and will default to 256 if not specified. If algorithm is set to Ed25519, Size is ignored. No other values are allowed.
spec.renewBefore string How long before the currently issued certificate's expiry cert-manager should renew the certificate. The default is 2/3 of the issued certificate's duration. Minimum accepted value is 5 minutes. Value must be in units accepted by Go time.ParseDuration https://golang.org/pkg/time/#ParseDuration
spec.revisionHistoryLimit integer revisionHistoryLimit is the maximum number of CertificateRequest revisions that are maintained in the Certificate's history. Each revision represents a single CertificateRequest created by this Certificate, either when it was created, renewed, or Spec was changed. Revisions will be removed by oldest first if the number of revisions exceeds this number. If set, revisionHistoryLimit must be a value of 1 or greater. If unset (nil), revisions will not be garbage collected. Default value is nil.
spec.secretName string SecretName is the name of the secret resource that will be automatically created and managed by this Certificate resource. It will be populated with a private key and certificate, signed by the denoted issuer.
spec.secretTemplate object SecretTemplate defines annotations and labels to be copied to the Certificate's Secret. Labels and annotations on the Secret will be changed as they appear on the SecretTemplate when added or removed. SecretTemplate annotations are added in conjunction with, and cannot overwrite, the base set of annotations cert-manager sets on the Certificate's Secret.
spec.secretTemplate.annotations object Annotations is a key value map to be copied to the target Kubernetes Secret.
spec.secretTemplate.labels object Labels is a key value map to be copied to the target Kubernetes Secret.

status

Description: Status of the Certificate. This is set and managed automatically.

Type: object

Property Type Description
status object Status of the Certificate. This is set and managed automatically.
status.conditions array List of status conditions to indicate the status of certificates. Known condition types are Ready and Issuing.
status.lastFailureTime string LastFailureTime is the time as recorded by the Certificate controller of the most recent failure to complete a CertificateRequest for this Certificate resource. If set, cert-manager will not re-request another Certificate until 1 hour has elapsed from this time.
status.nextPrivateKeySecretName string The name of the Secret resource containing the private key to be used for the next certificate iteration. The keymanager controller will automatically set this field if the Issuing condition is set to True. It will automatically unset this field when the Issuing condition is not set or False.
status.notAfter string The expiration time of the certificate stored in the secret named by this resource in spec.secretName.
status.notBefore string The time after which the certificate stored in the secret named by this resource in spec.secretName is valid.
status.renewalTime string RenewalTime is the time at which the certificate will be next renewed. If not set, no upcoming renewal is scheduled.
status.revision integer The current 'revision' of the certificate as issued.

When a CertificateRequest resource is created, it will have the cert-manager.io/certificate-revision set to one greater than the current value of this field. Upon issuance, this field will be set to the value of the annotation on the CertificateRequest resource used to issue the certificate. Persisting the value on the CertificateRequest resource allows the certificates controller to know whether a request is part of an old issuance or if it is part of the ongoing revision's issuance by checking if the revision value in the annotation is greater than this field. |
