Description

Feature Request

Currently, enabling or disabling TLS is not supported for existing clusters managed by TiDB Operator. This feature can only be enabled during cluster creation. For existing clusters, the only way to enable or disable TLS is by rebuilding the cluster, which is very inconvenient. It is recommended to add support for enabling or disabling TLS on existing clusters.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by tracing how TLS is handled during cluster creation and how the operator reconciles existing clusters, then define the supported enable and disable transitions. Done should mean an existing managed cluster can change TLS state without rebuilding.
