Unable to create octavia loadbalancer due to expired SSL certificate

Solution In Progress - Updated -

Environment

  • Red Hat Openstack Platform 13

Issue

When creating an octavia loadbalancer, the operation is failing with:

2020-04-30 22:30:54.920 25 WARNING octavia.amphorae.drivers.haproxy.rest_api_driver [-] Could not connect to instance. Retrying.: SSLError: ("bad handshake: Error([('SSL routines', 'ssl3_get_server_certificate', 'certificate verify failed')],)",)

Resolution

Run the overcloud deployment to either regenerate the certs or to push through new ones if custom certs were used.

Alternatively, this upstream document walks through manually creating new certs, but this procedure has not been fully verified by us. The recommended solution is to allow Director to update the certs.

Root Cause

SSL certs have expired. When OctaviaGenerateCerts: true the generated certs will expire after 1 year.
