Data in secret corrupted after editing the Secret in the OpenShift Container Platform 4 - Management Console

Issue

• Storing a Java Truststore (i.e. truststore.p12 or any other binary data) as Secret in Openshift is working fine as long as the Secret is not edited. As soon as any field from the secret is changed over the GUI the file gets correupted and the application receives an exception like:

  java.io.IOException: Invalid keystore format.
  

• When modifying a secret in the Management Console that has a binary file inclued (such as a keystore), the keystore will get corrupted post the modification and therefore impact application functionality.
