Integrating IdentityServer4 with CertManager on Kubernetes
I'm developing an app using microservices' approach. We have a bunch of microservices running behind an Ocelot Gateway, one of those microservices being IdentityServer4. Initially the application was running using HTTP as i didn't know how to handle HTTPS at that point.
When using Docker for windows, everything was running as expected. At this point inside my startup class of identity server microservice i have something like this:
services.AddIdentityServer()
.AddDeveloperSigningCredential()
.AddConfigurationStore(options =>
{
options.ConfigureDbContext = builder =>
builder.UseSqlServer(Configuration[IDENTITYSERVERDB_CONNECTIONSTRING],
sql => sql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly));
})
.AddOperationalStore(options =>
{
options.ConfigureDbContext = builder =>
builder.UseSqlServer(Configuration[IDENTITYSERVERDB_CONNECTIONSTRING],
sql => sql.MigrationsAssembly(migrationsAssembly));
options.EnableTokenCleanup = true;
options.TokenCleanupInterval = 30;
})
.AddAspNetIdentity<User>();
Now we want to handle HTTPS and certificates and i don't really know how to do it. I figure i need to get rid of AddDeveloperSigningCredential() first.
I've found this post online to use certificates on IdentityServer's part. Apparently the easiest way to handle secure connections on Kubernets is to create a reverse proxy controller (ingress) with Cert-Manager & Let's Encrypt to handle certificates - an example here.
On one side i have certificates handled by Cert-Manager. On the other hand i have certificates generated manually for IdentityServer4 purposes. I don't know what's the most optimal approach to handle IdentityServer certificates on kubernetes.

Handling HTTPS and token signing and verification are two separate concerns and the only one you'd need to worry about from an application development PoV is how to load your token signing certificate/key pair. Does Kubernetes offer some kind of secret store that you can use to store a certificate file and load into IDS4 during startup?
