This is a clone of issue OCPBUGS-31482. The following is the description of the original issue:
—
Description of problem:

In the tested HCP external OIDC env, when issuerCertificateAuthority is set, console pods are stuck in ContainerCreating status. The reason is the CA configmap is not propagated to openshift-console namespace by the console operator.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Latest 4.16 and 4.15 nightly payloads

How reproducible:

Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Configure HCP external OIDC env with issuerCertificateAuthority set.
2. Check oc get pods -A

Actual results:

2. Before OCPBUGS-31319 is fixed, console pods are in CrashLoopBackOff status. After OCPBUGS-31319 is fixed or manually coping the CA configmap to openshift-config namespace as workaround, console pods are stuck in ContainerCreating status until the CA configmap is manually copied to openshift-console namespace too. Console login is affected.

Expected results:

2. Console operator should be responsible to copy the CA to openshift-console namespace. And console login should succeed.
