Allow administrators to provide per-component vSphere credentials by placing override secrets in the openshift-config namespace. Override secrets are mapped to their target CredentialsRequest via annotations:

cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace:
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name:

When a CredentialsRequest is processed, the actuator lists secrets in openshift-config and looks for one whose target annotations match the CredentialsRequest's spec.secretRef. If found, the override secret's data is used; otherwise the shared root credential in kube-system/vsphere-creds is used as a fallback.

This enables least-privilege, per-component credentials for vSphere without breaking backward compatibility: clusters without override secrets continue to work exactly as before, with all components receiving the shared root credential.

Override secret example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: anything-admin-wants
namespace: openshift-config
annotations:
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace: openshift-machine-api
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name: vsphere-cloud-credentials
cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode: passthrough
data:
.username: ...
.password: ...

Override secrets must carry the cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode annotation (same as the root credential secret) to be accepted.

The credentials request controller is also updated to watch for override secret changes in openshift-config so that create/update/delete events trigger reconciliation of all CredentialsRequests.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for per-component vSphere credential override Secrets.
    • Automatically detects matching override credentials and reconciles affected credential requests.
    • Uses component-specific credentials when available, with fallback to shared root credentials.
    • Validates override targeting information and reports errors for incomplete configurations.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved credential refresh behavior when override Secrets are added or updated.

Allow administrators to provide per-component vSphere credentials by
placing override secrets in the openshift-config namespace. Override
secrets are mapped to their target CredentialsRequest via annotations:

  cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace: <namespace>
  cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name: <secret-name>

When a CredentialsRequest is processed, the actuator lists secrets in
openshift-config and looks for one whose target annotations match the
CredentialsRequest's spec.secretRef. If found, the override secret's
data is used; otherwise the shared root credential in
kube-system/vsphere-creds is used as a fallback.

This enables least-privilege, per-component credentials for vSphere
without breaking backward compatibility: clusters without override
secrets continue to work exactly as before, with all components
receiving the shared root credential.

Override secret example:

  apiVersion: v1
  kind: Secret
  metadata:
    name: anything-admin-wants
    namespace: openshift-config
    annotations:
      cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace: openshift-machine-api
      cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name: vsphere-cloud-credentials
      cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode: passthrough
  data:
    <vcenter>.username: ...
    <vcenter>.password: ...

Override secrets must carry the cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode
annotation (same as the root credential secret) to be accepted.

The credentials request controller is also updated to watch for
override secret changes in openshift-config so that create/update/delete
events trigger reconciliation of all CredentialsRequests.

Walkthrough

The change adds annotated per-component vSphere credential override support. The operator watches matching Secrets, selects overrides for CredentialsRequests, falls back to shared root credentials, and validates these paths with unit and reconciliation tests.

Changes

vSphere credential overrides

Layer / File(s) Summary
Override Secret contract and watch
pkg/operator/constants/constants.go, pkg/operator/credentialsrequest/credentialsrequest_controller.go, pkg/operator/credentialsrequest/credentialsrequest_controller_vsphere_test.go
Defines the override namespace and target annotations. The controller recognizes matching Secret events and requeues CredentialsRequests. Tests cover annotation matching and event filtering.
Credential selection and reconciliation
pkg/vsphere/actuator/actuator.go, pkg/vsphere/actuator/actuator_test.go, pkg/operator/credentialsrequest/credentialsrequest_controller_vsphere_test.go
Selects a matching override Secret before the shared root Secret. Tests cover fallback, annotation validation, missing root credentials, target matching, and reconciliation results.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟠 High · up to 9e17e

This PR changes how vSphere component credentials are selected and reconciled. As written, changing or retargeting an override can leave stale credentials in use, while duplicate overrides can cause an unintended credential set to be selected, potentially misconfiguring components or weakening credential isolation. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Requeue when an override stops matching.

Line 241 checks only e.ObjectNew. If an update removes a target annotation, or changes the target to another CredentialsRequest, this predicate returns false. The prior target Secret then keeps the old override data until its next periodic reconciliation.

Check both versions during updates.

Proposed fix
 UpdateFunc: func(e event.TypedUpdateEvent[*corev1.Secret]) bool {
-    return IsVSphereOverrideSecret(e.ObjectNew.GetNamespace(), e.ObjectNew.GetAnnotations())
+    return IsVSphereOverrideSecret(e.ObjectOld.GetNamespace(), e.ObjectOld.GetAnnotations()) ||
+        IsVSphereOverrideSecret(e.ObjectNew.GetNamespace(), e.ObjectNew.GetAnnotations())

Handle the provider-spec encoding error.

Line 359 discards the error from minterv1.Codec.EncodeProviderSpec. If encoding fails, this helper creates an invalid CredentialsRequest and hides the cause from the test.

Reject duplicate vSphere override targets.

When two Secrets in openshift-config have the same target annotations, GetCredentialsRootSecret returns the first match. Different override data can therefore supply unintended credentials. No repository validation enforces unique target annotations. Reject duplicate matches with CredentialsProvisionFailure and add a test with two matching overrides.

@rvanderp3: This pull request references SPLAT-2829 which is a valid jira issue.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the spike to target the "5.1.0" version, but no target version was set.

Details

In response to this:

Allow administrators to provide per-component vSphere credentials by placing override secrets in the openshift-config namespace. Override secrets are mapped to their target CredentialsRequest via annotations:

cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace:
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name:

When a CredentialsRequest is processed, the actuator lists secrets in openshift-config and looks for one whose target annotations match the CredentialsRequest's spec.secretRef. If found, the override secret's data is used; otherwise the shared root credential in kube-system/vsphere-creds is used as a fallback.

This enables least-privilege, per-component credentials for vSphere without breaking backward compatibility: clusters without override secrets continue to work exactly as before, with all components receiving the shared root credential.

Override secret example:

apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
name: anything-admin-wants
namespace: openshift-config
annotations:
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-namespace: openshift-machine-api
cloudcredential.openshift.io/target-secret-name: vsphere-cloud-credentials
cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode: passthrough
data:
.username: ...
.password: ...

Override secrets must carry the cloudcredential.openshift.io/mode annotation (same as the root credential secret) to be accepted.

The credentials request controller is also updated to watch for override secret changes in openshift-config so that create/update/delete events trigger reconciliation of all CredentialsRequests.

Details

In response to this:

Allow administrators to provide per-component vSphere credentials by placing override secrets in the openshift-config namespace. Override secrets are mapped to their target CredentialsRequest via annotations:
