Environment

SUSE CaaS Platform 3.0

Situation

After installing a new self-signed certificate into Velum, Kubernetes only sees "certificate has expired or is not yet valid" error.

Resolution

When adding a certificate into Velum, the entire URL must be used including the port number, please see below:

Incorrect URL: smt.example.com
Correct URL: https://smt.example.com:5000

After applying the change, Velum will re-bootstrap. Any failed pods should be killed and they will automatically be recreated using the new certificate.

Cause

Incorrectly specifying the certificate URL (Uniform Resource Locator) during creation.
