Description

The TLS page of kURL prompts to upload a key and cert to secure the Admin Console, or to continue with a self signed cert. For clusters that are connected to the public internet, we could start a HTTP Challenge server and provision a cert from LetsEncrypt or another ACME provider here. Then, the kURL proxy service should also be responsible for renewing the cert from the issuer before expiration.

Research direction

Start with the TLS page and kURL proxy service described in the issue, then trace how certificates are currently uploaded or self-signed. Define the HTTP Challenge flow, ACME provider interaction, and renewal behavior; done means the TLS page can provision a public certificate and the proxy renews it before expiration.
