Verify User Who Owns The OpenShift Controller Manager Kubeconfig File

An XCCDF Rule

Description

To properly set the owner of /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-*/configmaps/controller-manager-kubeconfig/kubeconfig, run the command:

$ sudo chown root /etc/kubernetes/static-pod-resources/kube-controller-manager-pod-*/configmaps/controller-manager-kubeconfig/kubeconfig 

warning alert: Dependency Warning

This rule is only applicable for nodes that run the Kubernetes Controller Manager service. The aforementioned service is only running on the nodes labeled "master" by default.

Rationale

The Controller Manager's kubeconfig contains information about how the component will access the API server. You should set its file ownership to maintain the integrity of the file.
