📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe Keycloak proxy now supports backend-gated Vault TLS CA configuration through an inline PEM bundle or an existing Secret. It validates sources, supports custom Secret keys, configures certificate paths, preserves DEK mounts, and triggers rollouts for inline CA changes. ChangesVault TLS CA configuration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to Invalid inline CA data can currently pass chart validation and prevent the KMS proxy from connecting to a Vault over HTTPS.

Verdict: NOT LGTM. One reproducible MAJOR on a legal config combination, plus a hardening gap and a couple of test holes. The feature is well-shaped and every happy path is correct and covered. Findings are inline below.
The design holds up. With neither key set, the proxy stays on its image trust store and no volume or env is added (I rendered the "no CA" case to confirm), so existing installs don't change. helm unittest is green across all 50 tests. Exposing the CA only via SSL_CERT_FILE is a sensible choice because the DB leg builds its own CA pool, but that separation lives in the proxy binary outside this repo, so I'm taking the PR body's word on LoadBackendCA.

[NOTE]
[MAJOR] caSecretName is not gated on the backend: a static-backend deployment can mount a Secret the chart never creates.
$vaultCASecret is seeded unconditionally from caSecretName here, while the caBundle branch right below (:28) is gated on eq $backend "vault-transit". The volume (:258) and volumeMount (:245) that consume $vaultCASecret sit at pod level, outside the vault-transit env block. So with kms.backend: static (the default) and a set kms.vault.caSecretName, the Deployment renders a vault-ca volume pointing at that Secret, with no SSL_CERT_FILE and no chart-rendered Secret behind it.
Reproduced with helm template (backend: static, caSecretName: my-preseeded-vault-ca): the Deployment gets volumes: [{name: vault-ca, secret: {secretName: my-preseeded-vault-ca}}] and the matching mount, KKP_KEK (the static path) is set, and no CA Secret is emitted. If that Secret was never seeded, which is the likely state on the static backend, the kubelet can't mount the volume and the pod sits in ContainerCreating forever. The proxy is the single choke point for all Keycloak DB traffic, so the whole IdP goes down with it. That's the exact failure the fail-fast comment at :4-9 claims the template prevents.
Fix: gate caSecretName on the backend the same way caBundle already is. Initialize $vaultCASecret to "" and only assign it under eq $backend "vault-transit". CodeRabbit's inline suggestion (reject either CA value unless vault-transit) is the equivalent fail-fast form and matches the chart's existing validation style.

Fixed in dd96145. $vaultCASecret starts empty and is only assigned inside eq $backend "vault-transit", so the static path renders no vault-ca volume at all. Added a test for backend: static + caSecretName asserting the volume, the mount and SSL_CERT_FILE are all absent — it fails against the old template.

[NOTE]
[MINOR] The pre-seeded CA Secret is projected whole, with no items: restriction to ca.crt.
This volume mounts the entire referenced Secret. Two ways that bites on legal input:
- Over-exposure: point
caSecretNameat a cert-manager TLS Secret, the natural place a Vault serving cert lives (ca.crt+tls.crt+tls.key), and the private key gets mounted into the proxy container at/etc/kkp/vault-ca/tls.key. The operator asked to trust a CA and handed key material to the workload. - Silent misconfig: if the seeded PEM is keyed under anything but
ca.crt, the mount succeeds but/etc/kkp/vault-ca/ca.crtdoesn't exist, and the proxy later fails with a genericx509: certificate signed by unknown authoritythat reads exactly like "CA never configured".
items: [{key: ca.crt, path: ca.crt}] on the volume closes both: extra keys aren't projected, and a missing ca.crt turns into a loud mount error at deploy time instead of a confusing runtime TLS error.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Added the items restriction, and then vault.caSecretKey on top of it. Hardcoding ca.crt has its own failure mode: a Secret without that key wedges the pod in ContainerCreating, which is the same outcome as the MAJOR above, and a cert-manager Certificate from an ACME issuer emits no ca.crt at all. The key is now configurable; the projected path stays ca.crt, so SSL_CERT_FILE is constant.

[NOTE]
[NIT] Three different behaviors for "a vault option under the static backend".
Under backend: static today: caBundle alone is silently ignored, caSecretName alone is half-applied (the MAJOR at :27), and both-set hard-fails on this mutual-exclusion check. Pick one policy, either ignore vault.* under static or validate it always, and make it uniform across the three. The MAJOR fix settles this on its own if you also move this mutual-exclusion check inside the same vault-transit gate.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Settled on "every vault.* key is inert under static": caSecretName is gated, and the mutual-exclusion check moved inside the same vault-transit block. Went that way rather than fail-fast because address, keyName, auth and tokenSecretName are already ignored under static — validating only the two CA keys would trade one inconsistency for another, and would break the render for anyone carrying leftover vault config.

[MINOR] No test covers the static + CA-value combination.
All four new cases set backend: vault-transit. The one matrix cell the MAJOR lives in, backend: static with caSecretName/caBundle set, has no test. A notContains assert on spec.template.spec.volumes for vault-ca under backend: static would have caught it, and it belongs with the fix.

Added three cases: caSecretName under static (no volume, no mount, no SSL_CERT_FILE), caBundle under static (4 documents, no CA Secret), and both keys under static not failing the render. The first and third fail against the old template.

[NOTE]
[NIT] Assertion completeness in the new tests.
The pre-seeded (caSecretName) case here asserts only the volume, so it still passes if the mount or SSL_CERT_FILE were dropped; the no-CA case (:632) asserts only the absence of SSL_CERT_FILE, so a stray vault-ca volume slips through. Add the positive SSL_CERT_FILE/volumeMounts asserts to the pre-seeded case and negative vault-ca asserts to the no-CA case.

Done in both directions. Worth flagging that contains alone was not enough: I mutation-tested by dropping the dekset conditional and all tests still passed, because contains ignores extra elements. Added lengthEqual on volumes/volumeMounts in the single-mount cases — six separate mutations now each break at least one test.

Validate the full X.509 certificate before rendering the inline CA Secret.
regexMatch checks only for -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----. The success fixtures contain dGVzdA== and cm90YXRlZA==, which decode to non-certificate data. The chart accepts and mounts invalid CA data for vault-transit, so the proxy cannot establish TLS to a private-CA Vault.
Use certificate-aware validation, or remove the render-time validation guarantee. Replace both success fixtures with valid X.509 certificates and add a failure case for a malformed certificate body.

LGTM. All five findings from the previous review are addressed, and I re-verified each against the new revision with helm template and helm unittest (57 green).
The MAJOR is gone: $vaultCASecret now starts empty and is only assigned inside the vault-transit gate, so a static-backend render with caSecretName/caBundle set produces no vault-ca volume, mount, or SSL_CERT_FILE (rendered it to confirm), while KKP_KEK still wires up. The mutual-exclusion check moved inside the same gate, which settles the three-behaviors inconsistency, and both static cases now have tests. The volume projects a single key via items, with caSecretKey to point at it, so a cert-manager TLS Secret no longer leaks tls.key into the proxy.
The extra scope in the follow-up commit is a genuine improvement, not just a patch. Setting SSL_CERT_DIR alongside SSL_CERT_FILE is the correct call: SSL_CERT_FILE on its own only adds the CA to the roots the image ships, because crypto/x509 still scans the default cert directories, so the Vault leg would keep trusting the public roots. Pinning SSL_CERT_DIR to the mount collapses the pool to just this CA. The checksum/vault-ca annotation rolls the pods on rotation for the chart-owned bundle (the process memoizes its root pool), and the render-time PEM check turns a silently-dropped bad bundle into a loud failure. Nicely done.
One non-blocking note: the inline # comments explaining the SSL_CERT_DIR and items reasoning render into every proxy manifest. They document genuinely non-obvious behavior so I'd keep them, just flagging that they are shipped, not stripped.

The proxy could only reach a Vault whose certificate chains to a publicly trusted root, so a Vault fronted by an internal load balancer with a self-signed certificate was unreachable over HTTPS. Allow the CA to be supplied inline (caBundle, the chart renders the Secret) or as a pre-seeded Secret (caSecretName), mounted and exposed as SSL_CERT_FILE. That redirects only the system trust store, which nothing but the Vault client consults — the database leg verifies against its own CA pool. Assisted-By: Claude AI Signed-off-by: Kirill Ilin <[email protected]>
The volume and mount that consume the Vault CA sit at pod level, outside the vault-transit env block, while $vaultCASecret was seeded from caSecretName regardless of the backend. With kms.backend=static and caSecretName set, the Deployment mounted a Secret the chart never renders, so the proxy — the single choke point for all Keycloak DB traffic — would sit in ContainerCreating. Gate both CA keys, and the mutual-exclusion check between them, on vault-transit, so the whole vault.* subtree behaves the same way under static: ignored. Project only ca.crt from a pre-seeded Secret, which keeps a cert-manager tls.key out of the container and turns a bundle stored under another key into a mount failure rather than an opaque TLS error later. Assisted-By: Claude <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Kirill Ilin <[email protected]>
…ation SSL_CERT_FILE alone does not narrow trust. crypto/x509 replaces only its file list and then scans SSL_CERT_DIR unconditionally, and the pinned proxy image ships /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt, so the connection guarding the KEK trusted the private CA plus every public root — a mis-issued certificate for the Vault hostname was still accepted. Set SSL_CERT_DIR to the mount as well, which collapses the pool to the CA the operator configured. An unvalidated caBundle failed open on top of that: a non-PEM value is dropped silently by AppendCertsFromPEM, leaving the proxy on the image's roots with no error at all. Reject it at render time, the way backend and auth already are. Rotating an inline caBundle had no effect either. The pod template did not change, so no new pods, and crypto/x509 memoizes the pool per process — the upgrade reported success while the old CA stayed in use until some later restart. Derive a checksum/vault-ca annotation from the bundle so the rollout happens with the change. Also add vault.caSecretKey: the projected key was hardcoded to ca.crt, and a bundle stored under another name (a cert-manager Certificate from an ACME issuer emits no ca.crt at all) wedged the pod at mount time with no way to correct it from values. Drop the claim that the database leg verifies against its own CA pool: the chart never sets KKP_BACKEND_CA_FILE, so that leg is plaintext today, as the note 30 lines above already says. The conclusion holds — it never consults the system trust store — but for the other reason. Assisted-By: Claude <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Kirill Ilin <[email protected]>

A Vault fronted by an internal load balancer with a self-signed certificate was therefore unreachable over HTTPS, leaving plain HTTP as the only option for the DEK wrap/unwrap traffic. `encryption.kms.vault` now accepts the CA either inline as `caBundle` (the chart renders the Secret) or as an already-seeded `caSecretName`, with `caSecretKey` naming the key to project. The CA reaches the proxy as `SSL_CERT_FILE` **and** `SSL_CERT_DIR`. `SSL_CERT_FILE` on its own would only *add* the CA to the roots the image ships: `crypto/x509` replaces its file list but then scans `SSL_CERT_DIR` unconditionally, and the pinned proxy image carries `/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`. Setting both collapses the pool to the mount, so the connection that guards the KEK trusts the configured CA and nothing else. The database leg is unaffected either way, because it never consults the system trust store: it is plaintext today, and will verify against an explicit `RootCAs` pool once `KKP_BACKEND_CA_FILE` is wired. Supporting guarantees: a non-PEM `caBundle` fails the render instead of being dropped silently at runtime; rotating an inline `caBundle` rolls the pods through a `checksum/vault-ca` annotation, since Go memoizes its root pool per process; both CA keys are inert unless `kms.backend=vault-transit`, matching every other `vault.*` key; and setting `caBundle` together with `caSecretName` fails the render instead of silently picking one. Existing installations are unaffected: with neither key set the proxy keeps using the image's system trust store, and no volume or env var is added. ### Screenshots <!-- REQUIRED for UI changes: attach screenshots or screen recordings demonstrating the visual impact of your changes.

encryption.kms.vaultnow accepts the CA either inline ascaBundle(the chart renders the Secret) or as an already-seededcaSecretName, withcaSecretKeynaming the key to project.The CA reaches the proxy as
SSL_CERT_FILEandSSL_CERT_DIR.SSL_CERT_FILEon its own would only add the CA to the roots the image ships:crypto/x509replaces its file list but then scansSSL_CERT_DIRunconditionally, and the pinned proxy image carries/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt. Setting both collapses the pool to the mount, so the connection that guards the KEK trusts the configured CA and nothing else.The database leg is unaffected either way, because it never consults the system trust store: it is plaintext today, and will verify against an explicit
RootCAspool onceKKP_BACKEND_CA_FILEis wired.Supporting guarantees: a non-PEM
caBundlefails the render instead of being dropped silently at runtime; rotating an inlinecaBundlerolls the pods through achecksum/vault-caannotation, since Go memoizes its root pool per process; both CA keys are inert unlesskms.backend=vault-transit, matching every othervault.*key; and settingcaBundletogether withcaSecretNamefails the render instead of silently picking one.Existing installations are unaffected: with neither key set the proxy keeps using the image's system trust store, and no volume or env var is added.
