WINC-2118: Apply cluster TLS profile to windows-exporter webconfig - #4583
redhat-chai-bot wants to merge 11 commits into
Conversation
The windows-exporter webconfig previously contained only cert_file and key_file fields, causing the exporter to fall back to Go defaults for TLS version and cipher suites. This change dynamically generates the webconfig at startup using the cluster APIServer TLS security profile, writing min_version, cipher_suites, and curve_preferences into the YAML before it is pushed to each Windows node. Enforcement is gated on the TLS adherence policy via ShouldHonorClusterTLSProfile, matching the existing metrics-server behaviour from WINC-1988. When the cluster profile or adherence policy changes the SecurityProfileWatcher restarts the operator, which re-generates the webconfig with the updated settings on the next reconciliation cycle.
Hoist honorTLSProfile to eliminate duplicate ShouldHonorClusterTLSProfile call, deduplicate YAML header via writeWebConfigHeader helper, add IANA-name-direct cipher test case, log warning on unknown TLS version fallback, and return unsupported curve groups for logging consistency.

Following up on concern 2. — I checked the metrics-server path to confirm the divergence. NewTLSConfigFromProfile → cipherCodes → cipherCode in controller-runtime-common/pkg/tls/tls.go uses the same library-go primitives as this PR (libgocrypto.CipherSuite, libgocrypto.OpenSSLToIANACipherSuites), but it does not filter weak ciphers — it only drops unmappable names and skips ciphers for TLS 1.3. So the new isWeakCipher() filter is the only difference between the two code paths, and it creates a concrete inconsistency: for the same profile (e.g. Old), WMCO's metrics endpoint serves the full cipher list while the windows-exporter endpoint serves a stricter subset. That contradicts the "explicitly respects all profile settings" acceptance criterion for the exporter, and means the two WMCO TLS endpoints no longer behave identically. Two things to reconcile:

Confirmed — the current approach is correct, no service restart needed. Version shipped: WMCO master pins the windows_exporter submodule to c0f9d9dc83270e31416614a722cb5c9245a6df16 (identical to the exporter fork's master), and its go.mod links exporter-toolkit v0.15.1. (For reference, release-5.0 is on v0.14.0 — also fine, in case of backports.) Both are well above your 0.8.0 threshold. One precision on the reload behavior — I checked the source directly (web/tls_config.go in both v0.14.0 and v0.15.1) rather than relying on the version cutoff, because it matters that the reload covers more than certs:
So when WMCO re-pushes the regenerated webconfig, the exporter applies the new min-version/ciphers/curves on the next new TLS handshake automatically. One caveat to document: it reloads per new connection, so a pre-existing keep-alive connection keeps the old parameters until it reconnects. For periodic Prometheus scrapes this converges within a scrape interval, so it's not a practical issue. Suggestion: since this correctness depends on an exporter-toolkit implementation detail, please add a short code comment near PopulateWebConfig noting that live pickup relies on exporter-toolkit's GetConfigForClient reload — so a future exporter-toolkit bump or a switch to a static-config code path doesn't silently break profile updates. |

Blocker: operator crash-loops at startup — cannot write the generated webconfigI verified this PR on a live cluster (Azure, OCP 5.0.0-rc.1, k8s v1.36.3) by building the operator from this branch, overlaying it onto a released WMCO image, and deploying it.

The operator crash-loops at startup because PopulateWebConfig writes to /payload/windows-exporter/ which is baked read-only (chmod 644) in the Dockerfile, and the operator runs as an arbitrary non-root UID under OpenShift SCC. Move the write target to /payload/generated/ which is world-writable (drwxrwxrwx), following the same pattern used by PopulateNetworkConfScript.

Thanks for the thorough live-node verification!

When the cluster TLS security profile changes, the operator restarts and regenerates the webconfig with updated TLS settings. Previously, existing nodes kept the old webconfig because UpToDate() returned true (version annotation matched) and ensureInstanceIsUpToDate returned immediately. This adds a lightweight webconfig update path that runs after the UpToDate() check: it compares a webconfig SHA annotation on the node against the current payload SHA and pushes only the updated webconfig file if they differ. This avoids a full deconfigure+configure cycle (which would drain the node and restart all services) — the exporter-toolkit's GetConfigForClient reload picks up the new file on the next TLS handshake.

The webconfig SHA check in ensureInstanceIsUpToDate() is unreachable for already-configured Machine-API nodes because the version annotation early return in WindowsMachineReconciler.Reconcile() exits before configureMachine is called. This means a TLS profile change (which restarts the operator with a new webconfig) never pushes the updated file to version-current Machine-API nodes. Add a webconfig SHA comparison before the early return: when the node's version annotation matches but the webconfig SHA differs from the current payload, push the updated webconfig using the existing lightweight updateWebConfig path and update the annotation. This mirrors the BYOH path which already works via configmap_controller → ensureInstancesAreUpToDate → ensureInstanceIsUpToDate. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
The windows-exporter webconfig pushed by WMCO to each Windows node currently contains only
cert_fileandkey_file, so the exporter falls back to Go/windows-exporter defaults for TLS version and cipher suites. This PR dynamically generates the webconfig withmin_version,cipher_suites, andcurve_preferencesfrom the cluster'sAPIServerTLS security profile — the same profile WMCO already reads for its own metrics server (WINC-1988).Changes

PopulateWebConfig(tlsProfileSpec, honorTLSProfile)generates the webconfig YAML at startup and writes it as a.tar.gzto the payload directory. The existing file transfer mechanism picks it up and pushes it to each Windows node.TLS version mapping:
VersionTLS12→TLS12,VersionTLS13→TLS13, etc. Unknown versions log a warning and fall back toTLS12.Cipher suite conversion: OpenSSL names (e.g.
ECDHE-ECDSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256) → IANA/Go names (e.g.TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256). TLS 1.3 ciphers are filtered (Go enables them unconditionally). Unsupported ciphers are returned for caller logging.Curve preferences: Maps OpenShift group names (
secp256r1→CurveP256,X25519→X25519). Post-quantum groups (e.g.X25519MLKEM768) are filtered and returned for logging.Adherence policy gating: Uses
libgocrypto.ShouldHonorClusterTLSProfile()— when not honoring, generates the base webconfig (cert + key only), matching the metrics server pattern.Reconciliation: The existing
SecurityProfileWatcherrestarts the operator when the TLS profile changes, re-generating the webconfig with updated settings.Jira
