Downstream tracking issue: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/GCP-1219

Bridge changes to run the console off-cluster / control-plane-side — as the console for a HyperShift guest cluster, where the bridge runs in the hosted control plane and reaches the guest kube-apiserver and guest services over the network (konnectivity tunnel). Every change is gated to off-cluster mode and/or the external-OIDC auth source; in-cluster and OpenShift-OAuth paths are unchanged.

Changes

  1. Honor -ca-file for the off-cluster k8s resource proxy. Off-cluster built serviceProxyTLSConfig with only InsecureSkipVerify and never set RootCAs, so -ca-file was ignored and a private-CA API server (e.g. a HyperShift guest KAS signed by the control-plane root-ca) required -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls. Fix: set RootCAs from -ca-file, mirroring the in-cluster branch (alongside InsecureSkipVerify, so existing behavior is preserved).

  2. Re-supply CA trust to the anonymous transport. rest.AnonymousClientConfig() drops the config's Transport (where off-cluster stashes RootCAs/skip-verify), so the user-settings and login-metrics paths fell back to the system trust store and failed with x509: unknown authority. Fix: anonymousK8SClientConfig helper re-applies -ca-file (without clobbering an in-cluster CA) and propagates skip-verify. Unit-tested.

  3. Honor -service-ca-file for the off-cluster service proxies. Off-cluster reused one -ca-file config for both the KAS proxy and the service proxies (Thanos/Alertmanager/terminal/plugins), but services present service-serving-signer certs — a different CA. Fix: offClusterProxyTLSConfigs() splits KAS trust (-ca-file) from service trust (-service-ca-file), falling back to -ca-file when unset. Unit-tested.

  4. Honor HTTP(S)_PROXY for the plugin asset proxy. The plugins proxy transport didn't set Proxy, so dynamic-plugin assets/i18n couldn't be tunneled to guest services. Fix: add Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment (matching the other proxy clients). Inert in-cluster; off-cluster it routes plugin backends through the konnectivity proxy.

  5. Request offline access (refresh token) for OIDC login. LoginFunc built the auth URL with no options, so external OIDC never returned a refresh token — and the OIDC path recovers a cross-pod session only from a refresh-token cookie. Without one, a session is served only by the pod that created it, so behind a load balancer without session affinity (multiple bridge replicas) the user hits a re-auth loop. Fix: add access_type=offline + prompt=consent, gated to AuthSourceOIDC (Google doesn't honor the offline_access scope). OpenShift-OAuth passes an empty option set — unchanged.

Testing

Verified live against a HyperShift/GCP guest cluster with external Google OIDC:

  • -ca-file/api/kubernetes/* = 200 with no skip-verify; unset/skip-verify behaviors unchanged.
  • Anonymous transport + -service-ca-file → no more x509: unknown authority; unit tests cover the helpers.
  • Plugin proxy → monitoring-plugin loads through the tunnel (Observe → Alerting/Dashboards/Targets render).
  • OIDC offline access → two replicas behind an SNI-passthrough router (no affinity): deleting the session-holding pod keeps the user logged in via silent refresh, zero session was not found. Previously this looped.

No UI changes except the plugin surface (verified visually).

In off-cluster mode the bridge built its shared serviceProxyTLSConfig
with only InsecureSkipVerify and never set RootCAs, so -ca-file was
ignored by the k8s resource proxy (/api/kubernetes/*) and the other
off-cluster proxies -- it was only consumed by the OIDC/authn path
(completedAuthnOptions.ApplyTo). The in-cluster branch, by contrast,
loads its CA into RootCAs.

As a result, connecting off-cluster to an API server that presents a
certificate signed by a private CA required
-k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls (documented DEV ONLY). This is
exactly the situation when running the console control-plane-side
against a HyperShift guest kube-apiserver signed by the control plane's
private root-ca.

Wire -ca-file into the off-cluster serviceProxyTLSConfig RootCAs,
mirroring the in-cluster branch. RootCAs is set alongside, not instead
of, InsecureSkipVerify: when skip-verify is true Go ignores RootCAs, so
existing skip-verify users are unaffected, and off-cluster users who
pass neither flag keep using the system trust store as before.

Downstream tracking issue: https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/GCP-1219

Note: This PR still needs a CONSOLE-XXXX / OCPBUGS-XXXX Jira prefix in the title before it can merge (the reference above is a Red Hat GCP-project task the Console team can't triage on). Opening now to get the change reviewed; the title will be updated once an upstream Jira key is filed.

Analysis / Root cause:
In off-cluster mode the bridge builds its shared serviceProxyTLSConfig (cmd/bridge/main.go) with only InsecureSkipVerify and never sets RootCAs. As a result -ca-file is ignored by the k8s resource proxy (/api/kubernetes/*) and the other off-cluster proxies — it is only consumed by the OIDC/authn path (completedAuthnOptions.ApplyTo(..., caCertFilePath, ...)). The in-cluster branch, by contrast, reads its CA into an x509.CertPool and assigns it to RootCAs.

Consequently, connecting off-cluster to an API server that presents a certificate signed by a private CA requires -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls (documented DEV ONLY). This is exactly the situation when running the console control-plane-side against a HyperShift guest kube-apiserver signed by the control plane's private root-ca: every /api/kubernetes/* call returns 502 (x509: certificate signed by unknown authority) unless skip-verify is enabled.

Solution description:
Wire -ca-file into the off-cluster serviceProxyTLSConfig.RootCAs, mirroring the existing in-cluster branch. RootCAs is set alongside, not instead of, InsecureSkipVerify:

  • when -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls is true, Go ignores RootCAs, so existing skip-verify users are unaffected;
  • off-cluster users who pass neither flag keep using the system trust store as before;
  • off-cluster users who pass -ca-file now get verified TLS against that CA (no skip-verify needed).

~16 lines, same shape as the in-cluster code.

Screenshots / screen recording:
N/A (backend/TLS-trust change, no UI impact).

Test setup:
Run the bridge with -k8s-mode=off-cluster against an API server whose serving cert is signed by a private CA, and pass -ca-file=<that CA> without -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls.

Test cases:

  • -ca-file set to the correct CA, no skip-verify → /api/kubernetes/* returns 200, no x509: certificate signed by unknown authority. (Verified live against a HyperShift guest kube-apiserver signed by the control plane root-ca.)
  • -ca-file unset, no skip-verify → unchanged (system trust store).
  • -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls=true → unchanged (verification skipped regardless of -ca-file).
  • -ca-file pointing at an unreadable file or a PEM with no CA → bridge exits with a clear fatal error.

Browser conformance:

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari (or Epiphany on Linux)

(N/A — no UI change.)

Additional info:
Discovered while running the core OpenShift console control-plane-side on a HyperShift/GCP HostedCluster (downstream spike). The -ca-file volume/flag were already plumbed on that deployment; this change makes them effective for the resource proxy so -k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls can be dropped.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes
  • Off-cluster connections now use the CA certificate specified with --ca-file for proxy TLS verification.
  • Startup now stops with a clear fatal error when the CA file cannot be read or contains invalid certificates.
  • Existing system trust behavior remains unchanged when no CA file is provided.

Instructions for interacting with me using PR comments are available here. If you have questions or suggestions related to my behavior, please file an issue against the openshift-eng/jira-lifecycle-plugin repository.

The -ca-file RootCAs fix for the off-cluster k8s proxy only reached the
main proxied transport. The bridge also builds an anonymous transport via
rest.TransportFor(rest.AnonymousClientConfig(InternalProxiedK8SClientConfig)),
but AnonymousClientConfig does not copy the source config's Transport
(which carried the RootCAs), so that transport fell back to the system
trust store and could not verify an API server signed by a private CA.

Its consumers -- the user-settings handler (pkg/usersettings) and the
login-role metrics (pkg/auth) -- therefore failed with
"x509: certificate signed by unknown authority" when running off-cluster
against a HyperShift guest kube-apiserver signed by the control plane's
private root-ca.

Re-supply trust by setting TLSClientConfig.CAFile on the anonymous config
when -ca-file is provided (extracted into anonymousK8SClientConfig, with a
unit test), letting rest.TransportFor build a CA-aware transport.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Propagate --ca-file to the terminal Kubernetes client.

When skip verification is false, pkg/terminal/client.go constructs the REST client without copying serviceProxyTLSConfig.RootCAs or CAFile. Off-cluster terminal requests to an API server signed by the configured private CA can therefore fail TLS verification. Ensure the terminal REST configuration uses the configured CA.

Off-cluster mode used a single TLS config (from -ca-file) for both the
guest KAS proxy and the OpenShift service proxies (Thanos,
Alertmanager, terminal, plugins, catalogd, gitops). KAS and those
services are signed by different CAs (the cluster root CA vs. the
service-serving-signer CA), so a single -ca-file can't satisfy both
trust domains -- mirroring the in-cluster branch's use of -ca-file for
KAS and -service-ca-file for services.

Extract the trust selection into offClusterProxyTLSConfigs: KAS keeps
using -ca-file, and services now use -service-ca-file when set,
falling back to the KAS trust when unset so existing off-cluster
callers that only pass -ca-file are unaffected. Extracting into a
named function also makes the selection/fallback logic directly unit
testable.

Bump the console image to the build that also honors -ca-file on the
bridge's anonymous transport (user-settings + login-role metrics),
fixing x509 failures on those paths. Verified live: x509 errors gone;
user-settings now reaches the guest KAS over verified TLS and fails only
on the missing openshift-console-user-settings RBAC (operator-owned,
Phase 2). Upstream: openshift/console#17185 (both fixes + unit test).

Docs: STUDY.md §22 records the anonymous-transport fix as resolved (with
the transport.New custom-Transport+CA constraint that shaped it);
PHASE1_PLAN.md reframes user-settings as an RBAC/namespace gap, not a
bridge bug; UPSTREAM_PATCHES.md notes the PR now covers both instances.

…ar + service-ca trust; guest geneve firewall fix

Wire control-plane-side console monitoring (Observe -> Metrics/Alerts) to the
guest Thanos/Alertmanager through the konnectivity reverse tunnel. Verified live:
console -> socks5 -> thanos-querier:9091 = HTTP 200, PromQL `up` returns data.

Kustomize (hypershift + pat-console layers):
- konnectivity-proxy-socks5 sidecar on the console pod (shape copied verbatim
  from the live per-HCP catalog-operator sidecar: control-plane-operator
  konnectivity-socks5-proxy, konnectivity-client cert + konnectivity-ca-bundle,
  service-network-admin-kubeconfig for the resolver).
- console container HTTP(S)_PROXY=socks5://127.0.0.1:8090 + NO_PROXY keeping the
  in-namespace guest KAS dial direct (so resource browsing + pod terminal, which
  go via KAS, are unaffected).
- bridge flags -k8s-mode-off-cluster-thanos / -alertmanager, and -service-ca-file
  mounting the HCP-namespace service-serving-ca ConfigMap (Thanos/Alertmanager
  present service-serving certs signed by a different CA than the KAS -ca-file).
- overlay images: console -> quay.io/patmarti/console:260916190318 (adds the
  off-cluster -service-ca-file support), plus the CPO image for the sidecar.

Guest VPC firewall fix (console/guest/allow-geneve-firewall.sh):
- The first live test hit 504s. Root cause was neither the console nor
  NetworkPolicy (allow-all made no difference) but the guest VPC dropping OVN-K
  geneve (UDP 6081) between nodes -> ALL cross-node pod networking broken
  (geneve tx>0/rx=0; pod->pod cross-node 100% fail; same-node OK). The node VPC
  shipped only tcp:10250. Adding an INGRESS allow for udp:6081 from the node
  subnet fixed it (geneve alone sufficient; OVN encapsulates all pod/service
  traffic). This is a HyperShift GCP infra-provisioning gap, being folded into
  gcp-hcp-ctl; script kept here as repro + reminder.

Docs: Phase 2 plan §B updated to DONE (backend) with the geneve discovery (§B.6);
STUDY §22 adds the off-cluster -service-ca-file gap as the third instance of the
off-cluster CA-trust bug; UPSTREAM_PATCHES tracks both the console PR update and
the geneve infra fix.

The bridge -service-ca-file code change is implementation-planned in
_console-research/OFF_CLUSTER_SERVICE_CA_FILE_PLAN.md and folded into
openshift/console#17185 (GCP-1219).
Add Proxy: http.ProxyFromEnvironment to the plugins proxy transport so dynamic
plugin asset (and i18n) requests can be tunneled to guest cluster services. In
the HyperShift control-plane-side (off-cluster) bridge this routes plugin
backends through the konnectivity socks5 proxy; in-cluster it is inert (no proxy
env) or bypassed for *.svc via NO_PROXY. Matches the k8s/thanos/alertmanager
proxy clients which already honor the environment proxy.
LoginFunc built the auth URL with no options, so external OIDC providers never
returned a refresh token. Without one, the OIDC login path can only serve a
session from the pod that holds it in memory: after the access token expires,
after a pod restart, or when a request is load-balanced to another replica, the
session cannot be recovered and the user is bounced to an interactive login (a
re-auth loop behind a load balancer that can't do session affinity).

Add access_type=offline + prompt=consent to AuthCodeURL for the OIDC auth source
only (Google does not honor the standard offline_access scope; these request
params are the supported mechanism). The OpenShift OAuth source is unchanged
(empty options => identical call). This lets getLoginState do a silent
back-channel refresh to rebuild the session on any replica.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Preserve the configured Kubernetes TLS settings in the terminal client.

The off-cluster setup passes the --ca-file trust pool through s.K8sProxyConfig.TLSClientConfig to the reachable /api/terminal/proxy/ handler. However, pkg/terminal/client.go:getConfig replaces it with rest.InClusterConfig().TLSClientConfig when verification is enabled. This discards RootCAs, so terminal Kubernetes API calls can fail against a KAS signed by --ca-file. Use p.TLSClientConfig when constructing the returned client transport in getConfig.

isn't access_type=offline Google-specific? How does it work with other providers?
could prompt=consent cause repeated prompts for providers that already issue refresh tokens when offline_access is in the scope?

it might be worth adding a test that verifies the OIDC redirect URL contains access_type=offline and prompt=consent, and a test verifying the OpenShift OAuth redirect URL does not contain them

I think it'd be semantically right to pass *fK8sModeOffClusterSkipVerifyTLS only when *fK8sMode == "off-cluster"

should we set the proxy here too?

anonymousK8SClientConfig will crash bridge on startup when both --ca-file and --k8s-mode-off-cluster-skip-verify-tls=true are set, because rest.TransportFor will reject the combination of CA file and Insecure. For instance, we set both the options in example/run-bridge.sh.
