Navigate to Triple Bar Symbol(Global) >> <local cluster>. From the kubectl shell (>_) execute: kubectl get ingress -n cattle-system rancher -o yaml Verify the port number for Rancher is using "443", like the following: spec: rules: - host: rancher.rfed.us http: paths: - backend: service: name: rancher port: number: 443 From the kubectl shell (>_) execute: kubectl get networkpolicies -n cattle-system Verify networkpolicies exist and that they are only allowing traffic to port "444" of the Rancher pods, like the following: NAME POD-SELECTOR AGE rancher-allow-https app=rancher 10h rancher-deny-ingress app=rancher 10h If the ingress output is not using port 443, or there are not network policies in place to only allow traffic to port 444, this is a finding.

Gather the current values of the Rancher deployment by running the following: helm get values -n cattle-system rancher > /tmp/rancher-values.yaml Create another values file to upgrade Rancher's ingress object for HTTPS. Add the following to "/tmp/rancher-ingress-values.yaml": ingress: extraAnnotations: nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: "HTTPS" # If using NGINX ingress traefik.ingress.kubernetes.io/router.tls: "true" # If using Traefik ingress servicePort: 443 If using a different ingress controller than NGINX or Traefik, other annotations may need to be added to ensure the controller knows the Rancher backend is HTTPS. Upgrade Rancher, referencing the two files created: helm upgrade -n cattle-system -f /tmp/rancher-values.yaml -f /tmp/rancher-ingress-values.yaml rancher rancher-stable/rancher --version=CURRENT_RANCHER_VERSION Once Rancher ingress has been updated and it has been verified that Rancher is still accessible, run the following command to create NetworkPolicies that will block all traffic to Rancher with the exception of HTTPS: cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f - kind: NetworkPolicy apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 metadata: name: rancher-allow-https namespace: cattle-system spec: podSelector: matchLabels: app: rancher ingress: - ports: - port: 444 --- apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1 kind: NetworkPolicy metadata: name: rancher-deny-ingress namespace: cattle-system spec: podSelector: matchLabels: app: rancher policyTypes: - Ingress EOF

Verify helm installation contains correct parameters: Navigate to Triple Bar Symbol(Global) >> <local cluster>. From the kubectl shell (>_) Execute: `helm get values rancher -n cattle-system` The output must contain: ``` privateCA: true ingress: tls: source: secret ``` If the output source is not "secret", this is a finding. Verify contents of certificates are correct: From the console, type: kubectl -n cattle-system get secret tls-rancher-ingress -o 'jsonpath={.data.tls\.crt}' | base64 --decode | openssl x509 -noout -text kubectl -n cattle-system get secret tls-ca -o 'jsonpath={.data.cacerts\.pem}' | base64 --decode | openssl x509 -noout -text
Fix: F-60903r919164_fix
Update the secrets to contain valid certificates. Put the correct and valid DOD certificate and key in files called "tls.crt" and "tls.key", respectively, and then run: kubectl -n cattle-system create secret tls tls-rancher-ingress \ --cert=tls.crt \ --key=tls.key Upload the CA required for the certs by creating another file called "cacerts.pem" and running: kubectl -n cattle-system create secret generic tls-ca \ --from-file=cacerts.pem=./cacerts.pem The helm chart values need to be updated to include the check section: privateCA: true ingress: tls: source: secret Rerun helm upgrade with the new values for the certs to take effect.
