Implement TLS using a third-party CA
This page shows how to implement TLS when using an external Certificate Authority for your certificates.
Note: For conceptual background on TLS in MicroStack see the Service endpoint encryption page.
Note: This feature is currently only supported in channel 2023.2/edge of the openstack snap.
Enable the TLS CA plugin
This method relies on the TLS CA plugin. See the TLS CA plugin page for how to enable it.
If the plugin is ever disabled (see the plugin page), to re-enable, the entire procedure given below must be repeated.
Gather the certificate signing requests
You’ll need the certificate signing requests (CSRs) for each available Traefik unit.
To retrieve CSRs for which certificates are not yet provided, run the following command:
sunbeam tls ca list_outstanding_csrs
Sample output for the above command:
+------------------+------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Unit name | CSR |

To get the output in YAML format, use option --format yaml.
In this example there are two CSRs - one for unit traefik/0 (internal traffic) and one for unit traefik-public/0 (public traffic).
Request TLS certificates
Request one TLS certificate for each generated CSR.
You’ll need to supply the Certificate Authority (identified in the enable command) with the CSRs. Do this via the CA’s web site.
Input TLS certificates
Run the below command to inject the newly acquired TLS certificates into the cloud:
sunbeam tls ca unit_certs
You will be prompted for a TLS certificate for each Traefik unit.
This example’s final total output is:

CA certs configured
Verify that TLS is active
Generate an openrc file:
sunbeam openrc
This file should use an HTTPS link for OS_AUTH_URL (Keystone) and a value for OS_CACERT, which is the file path to the CA certificate.
# openrc for access to OpenStack
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=*******
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://10.20.21.12/openstack-keystone/v3
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=admin_domain
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=admin_domain
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin
export OS_AUTH_VERSION=3
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_CACERT=/home/ubuntu/.config/openstack/ca_bundle.pem
Generate a cloud-config file:
sunbeam cloud-config --admin --update
Similarly, this file should use HTTPS for auth_url and have a file for cacert:
clouds:
sunbeam-admin:
auth:
auth_url: https://10.20.21.12/openstack-keystone/v3
password: pS6glK5TQRNf
project_domain_name: admin_domain
project_name: admin
user_domain_name: admin_domain
username: admin
cacert: /home/ubuntu/.config/openstack/ca_bundle.pem
Set OS_CLOUD to use the credentials generated by cloud-config:
export OS_CLOUD=sunbeam-admin
To verify public endpoints, run the command:
openstack endpoint list --interface public
The output should use HTTPS for all URLs:
