cipherSuites not working as expected

    XMLWordPrintable

Details

    • False
    • None
    • False
    • Moderate

    Description

      As per the documentation, specify the required cipherSuites in OSSM SMCP.

      --> https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.11/service_mesh/v2x/ossm-security.html#ossm-security-cipher_ossm-security

       

      For reference, I specified the below cipherSuites.

      oc get smcp basic -oyaml -n istio-system
      ...
      spec
        security:
          controlPlane:
            mtls: true
            tls:
              cipherSuites:
              - TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_GCM_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_GCM_SHA384,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_CHACHA20_POLY1305_SHA256,TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA

       

       

      However, the istio route isn't accessible with the specified ciphers at all.

      OCP Cluster Version: 4.13.4
      OSSM Operator Version: 2.4.2-0

      SMCP Version: 2.4.2

       

      For reproducing the issue, I deployed a sample HTTPD and created a secured gateway.
