Enable The Peer Client Certificate Authentication
An XCCDF Rule
Description
To ensure the etcd service is serving TLS to clients,
make sure the etcd-pod* ConfigMaps in the
openshift-etcd namespace contain the following argument
for the etcd binary in the etcd pod:
oc get -nopenshift-etcd cm etcd-pod -oyaml | grep "\-\-peer-client-cert-auth="the parameter should be set to
true.
warning alert: Warning
This rule's check operates on the cluster configuration dump.
Therefore, you need to use a tool that can query the OCP API, retrieve the following:
-
{{if ne .hypershift_cluster "None"}}/api/v1/namespaces/{{.hypershift_namespace_prefix}}-{{.hypershift_cluster}}/pods?labelSelector=app%3Detcd{{else}}/api/v1/namespaces/openshift-etcd/configmaps/etcd-pod{{end}}API endpoint, filter with with thejqutility using the following filter{{if ne .hypershift_cluster "None"}}[.items[0].spec.containers[0].command | join(" ")]{{else}}[.data."pod.yaml"]{{end}}and persist it to the local
