## Overview

The Kubernetes Orchestrator allows for the remote management of certificate stores defined in a Kubernetes cluster.
The following types of Kubernetes resources are supported: kubernetes secrets of `kubernetes.io/tls` or `Opaque` and
kubernetes certificates `certificates.k8s.io/v1`

The certificate store types that can be managed in the current version are:
- `K8SCert` - Kubernetes certificates of type `certificates.k8s.io/v1`
- `K8SSecret` - Kubernetes secrets of type `Opaque`
- `K8STLSSecret` - Kubernetes secrets of type `kubernetes.io/tls`
- `K8SCluster` - This allows for a single store to manage a k8s cluster's secrets or type `Opaque` and `kubernetes.io/tls`.
This can be thought of as a container of `K8SSecret` and `K8STLSSecret` stores across all k8s namespaces.
- `K8SNS` - This allows for a single store to manage a k8s namespace's secrets or type `Opaque` and `kubernetes.io/tls`.
This can be thought of as a container of `K8SSecret` and `K8STLSSecret` stores for a single k8s namespace.
- `K8SJKS` - Kubernetes secrets of type `Opaque` that contain one or more Java Keystore(s). These cannot be managed at the
cluster or namespace level as they should all require unique credentials.
- `K8SPKCS12` - Kubernetes secrets of type `Opaque` that contain one or more PKCS12(s). These cannot be managed at the
cluster or namespace level as they should all require unique credentials.

This orchestrator extension makes use of the Kubernetes API by using a service account
to communicate remotely with certificate stores. The service account must have the correct permissions
in order to perform the desired operations. For more information on the required permissions, see the
[service account setup guide](#service-account-setup).

The Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension implements 7 Certificate Store Types. Depending on your use case, you may elect to use one, or all of these Certificate Store Types. Descriptions of each are provided below.

- [K8SCert](#K8SCert)

- [K8SCluster](#K8SCluster)

- [K8SJKS](#K8SJKS)

- [K8SNS](#K8SNS)

- [K8SPKCS12](#K8SPKCS12)

- [K8SSecret](#K8SSecret)

- [K8STLSSecr](#K8STLSSecr)

## Compatibility

This integration is compatible with Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator version 12.4 and later.

## Support
The Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension is supported by Keyfactor. If you require support for any issues or have feature request, please open a support ticket by either contacting your Keyfactor representative or via the Keyfactor Support Portal at https://support.keyfactor.com.

> If you want to contribute bug fixes or additional enhancements, use the **[Pull requests](../../pulls)** tab.

## Requirements & Prerequisites

Before installing the Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension, we recommend that you install [kfutil](https://github.com/Keyfactor/kfutil). Kfutil is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of creating store types, installing extensions, and instantiating certificate stores in Keyfactor Command.

### Kubernetes API Access
This orchestrator extension makes use of the Kubernetes API by using a service account
to communicate remotely with certificate stores. The service account must exist and have the appropriate permissions.
The service account token can be provided to the extension in one of two ways:
- As a raw JSON file that contains the service account credentials
- As a base64 encoded string that contains the service account credentials

#### Service Account Setup
To set up a service account user on your Kubernetes cluster to be used by the Kubernetes Orchestrator Extension. For full
information on the required permissions, see the [service account setup guide](./scripts/kubernetes/README.md).

## Certificate Store Types

To use the Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension, you **must** create the Certificate Store Types required for your use-case. This only needs to happen _once_ per Keyfactor Command instance.

The Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension implements 7 Certificate Store Types. Depending on your use case, you may elect to use one, or all of these Certificate Store Types.

### K8SCert

Click to expand details

The `K8SCert` store type is used to manage Kubernetes certificates of type `certificates.k8s.io/v1`.

**NOTE**: only `inventory` and `discovery` of these resources is supported with this extension. To provision these certs use the
[k8s-csr-signer](https://github.com/Keyfactor/k8s-csr-signer).

#### Supported Operations

| Operation | Is Supported |
|--------------|------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|
| Add | 🔲 Unchecked |
| Remove | 🔲 Unchecked |
| Discovery | ✅ Checked |
| Reenrollment | 🔲 Unchecked |
| Create | 🔲 Unchecked |

#### Store Type Creation

##### Using kfutil:
`kfutil` is a custom CLI for the Keyfactor Command API and can be used to create certificate store types.
For more information on [kfutil](https://github.com/Keyfactor/kfutil) check out the [docs](https://github.com/Keyfactor/kfutil?tab=readme-ov-file#quickstart)
Click to expand K8SCert kfutil details

##### Using online definition from GitHub:
This will reach out to GitHub and pull the latest store-type definition
```shell
# K8SCert
kfutil store-types create K8SCert
```

##### Offline creation using integration-manifest file:
If required, it is possible to create store types from the [integration-manifest.json](./integration-manifest.json) included in this repo.
You would first download the [integration-manifest.json](./integration-manifest.json) and then run the following command
in your offline environment.
```shell
kfutil store-types create --from-file integration-manifest.json
```

#### Manual Creation
Below are instructions on how to create the K8SCert store type manually in
the Keyfactor Command Portal
Click to expand manual K8SCert details

Create a store type called `K8SCert` with the attributes in the tables below:

##### Basic Tab
| Attribute | Value | Description |
| --------- | ----- | ----- |
| Name | K8SCert | Display name for the store type (may be customized) |
| Short Name | K8SCert | Short display name for the store type |
| Capability | K8SCert | Store type name orchestrator will register with. Check the box to allow entry of value |
| Supports Add | 🔲 Unchecked | Indicates that the Store Type supports Management Add |
| Supports Remove | 🔲 Unchecked | Indicates that the Store Type supports Management Remove |
| Supports Discovery | ✅ Checked | Check the box. Indicates that the Store Type supports Discovery |
| Supports Reenrollment | 🔲 Unchecked | Indicates that the Store Type supports Reenrollment |
| Supports Create | 🔲 Unchecked | Indicates that the Store Type supports store creation |
| Needs Server | ✅ Checked | Determines if a target server name is required when creating store |
| Blueprint Allowed | 🔲 Unchecked | Determines if store type may be included in an Orchestrator blueprint |
| Uses PowerShell | 🔲 Unchecked | Determines if underlying implementation is PowerShell |
| Requires Store Password | 🔲 Unchecked | Enables users to optionally specify a store password when defining a Certificate Store. |
| Supports Entry Password | 🔲 Unchecked | Determines if an individual entry within a store can have a password. |

The Basic tab should look like this:

![K8SCert Basic Tab](docsource/images/K8SCert-basic-store-type-dialog.png)

##### Advanced Tab
| Attribute | Value | Description |
| --------- | ----- | ----- |
| Supports Custom Alias | Forbidden | Determines if an individual entry within a store can have a custom Alias. |
| Private Key Handling | Forbidden | This determines if Keyfactor can send the private key associated with a certificate to the store. Required because IIS certificates without private keys would be invalid. |
| PFX Password Style | Default | 'Default' - PFX password is randomly generated, 'Custom' - PFX password may be specified when the enrollment job is created (Requires the Allow Custom Password application setting to be enabled.) |

The Advanced tab should look like this:

![K8SCert Advanced Tab](docsource/images/K8SCert-advanced-store-type-dialog.png)

> For Keyfactor **Command versions 24.4 and later**, a Certificate Format dropdown is available with PFX and PEM options. Ensure that **PFX** is selected, as this determines the format of new and renewed certificates sent to the Orchestrator during a Management job. Currently, all Keyfactor-supported Orchestrator extensions support only PFX.

##### Custom Fields Tab
Custom fields operate at the certificate store level and are used to control how the orchestrator connects to the remote target server containing the certificate store to be managed. The following custom fields should be added to the store type:

| Name | Display Name | Description | Type | Default Value/Options | Required |
| ---- | ------------ | ---- | --------------------- | -------- | ----------- |
| ServerUsername | Server Username | This should be no value or `kubeconfig` | Secret | None | 🔲 Unchecked |
| ServerPassword | Server Password | The credentials to use to connect to the K8S cluster API. This needs to be in `kubeconfig` format. Example: https://github.com/Keyfactor/k8s-orchestrator/tree/main/scripts/kubernetes#example-service-account-json | Secret | None | ✅ Checked |
| KubeNamespace | KubeNamespace | The K8S namespace to use to manage the K8S secret object. | String | default | 🔲 Unchecked |

### K8SJKS

Click to expand details

The `K8SJKS` store type is used to manage Kubernetes secrets of type `Opaque`. These secrets
must have a field that ends in `.jks`. The orchestrator will inventory and manage using a *custom alias* of the following
pattern: `/`. For example, if the secret has a field named `mykeystore.jks` and
the keystore contains a certificate with an alias of `mycert`, the orchestrator will manage the certificate using the
alias `mykeystore.jks/mycert`. *NOTE* *This store type cannot be managed at the `cluster` or `namespace` level as they
should all require unique credentials.*

## Installation

1. **Download the latest Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension from GitHub.**

Navigate to the [Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension GitHub version page](https://github.com/Keyfactor/k8s-orchestrator/releases/latest). Refer to the compatibility matrix below to determine the asset should be downloaded. Then, click the corresponding asset to download the zip archive.

| Universal Orchestrator Version | Latest .NET version installed on the Universal Orchestrator server | `rollForward` condition in `Orchestrator.runtimeconfig.json` | `k8s-orchestrator` .NET version to download |
| --------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- |
| Between `11.0.0` and `11.5.1` (inclusive) | `net8.0` | `LatestMajor` | `net8.0` |
| `11.6` _and_ newer | `net8.0` | | `net8.0` |

Unzip the archive containing extension assemblies to a known location.

> **Note** If you don't see an asset with a corresponding .NET version, you should always assume that it was compiled for `net8.0`.

2. **Locate the Universal Orchestrator extensions directory.**

* **Default on Windows** - `C:\Program Files\Keyfactor\Keyfactor Orchestrator\extensions`
* **Default on Linux** - `/opt/keyfactor/orchestrator/extensions`

3. **Create a new directory for the Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension inside the extensions directory.**

Create a new directory called `k8s-orchestrator`.
> The directory name does not need to match any names used elsewhere; it just has to be unique within the extensions directory.

4. **Copy the contents of the downloaded and unzipped assemblies from __step 2__ to the `k8s-orchestrator` directory.**

5. **Restart the Universal Orchestrator service.**

Refer to [Starting/Restarting the Universal Orchestrator service](https://software.keyfactor.com/Core-OnPrem/Current/Content/InstallingAgents/NetCoreOrchestrator/StarttheService.htm).

6. **(optional) PAM Integration**

The Kubernetes Universal Orchestrator extension is compatible with all supported Keyfactor PAM extensions to resolve PAM-eligible secrets. PAM extensions running on Universal Orchestrators enable secure retrieval of secrets from a connected PAM provider.

To configure a PAM provider, [reference the Keyfactor Integration Catalog](https://keyfactor.github.io/integrations-catalog/content/pam) to select an extension and follow the associated instructions to install it on the Universal Orchestrator (remote).

> The above installation steps can be supplemented by the [official Command documentation](https://software.keyfactor.com/Core-OnPrem/Current/Content/InstallingAgents/NetCoreOrchestrator/CustomExtensions.htm?Highlight=extensions).

## Discovering Certificate Stores with the Discovery Job
**NOTE:** To use discovery jobs, you must have the store type created in Keyfactor Command and the `needs_server`
checkbox *MUST* be checked, if you do not select `needs_server` you will not be able to provide credentials to the
discovery job and it will fail.

The Kubernetes Orchestrator Extension supports certificate discovery jobs. This allows you to populate the certificate stores with existing certificates. To run a discovery job, follow these steps:
1. Click on the "Locations > Certificate Stores" menu item.
2. Click the "Discover" tab.
3. Click the "Schedule" button.
4. Configure the job based on storetype. **Note** the "Server Username" field must be set to `kubeconfig` and the "Server Password" field is the `kubeconfig` formatted JSON file containing the service account credentials. See the "Service Account Setup" section earlier in this README for more information on setting up a service account.

![discover_server_username.png](./docs/screenshots/discovery/discover_server_username.png)
![discover_server_password.png](./docs/screenshots/discovery/discover_server_password.png)
5. Click the "Save" button and wait for the Orchestrator to run the job. This may take some time depending on the number of certificates in the store and the Orchestrator's check-in schedule.

K8SJKS

### K8SJKS Discovery Job

For discovery of `K8SJKS` stores toy can use the following params to filter the certificates that will be discovered:
- `Directories to search` - comma separated list of namespaces to search for certificates OR `all` to search all
namespaces. *This cannot be left blank.*
- `File name patterns to match` - comma separated list of K8S secret keys to search for PKCS12 or JKS data. Will use
the following keys by default: `tls.pfx`,`tls.pkcs12`,`pfx`,`pkcs12`,`tls.jks`,`jks`.

K8SNS

### K8SNS Discovery Job
