Add client certificates

Add client certificates to your REDB custom resource.

For each client certificate you want to use with your database, you need to create a Kubernetes secret to hold it. You can then reference that secret in your Redis Enterprise database (REDB) custom resource spec.

Create a secret to hold the new certificate

1. Create the secret config file with the required fields shown below.

   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   type: Opaque
   metadata:
     name: <client-cert-secret>
     namespace: <your-rec-namespace>
   data:
     cert: <client-certificate>
   

2. Apply the file to create the secret resource.

   kubectl apply -f <client-cert-secret>.yaml
   

Edit the REDB resource

1. Add the secret name to the REDB custom resource (redb.yaml) with the clientAuthenticationCertificates property in the spec section.

 spec:
    clientAuthenticationCertificates:
    - <client-cert-secret>
