openshift-ingress-operator is failing to update router-certs because "Too long: must have at most 1048576 bytes" message

Issue

• Because of CVE-2022-2403 Credentials leak in config map we replaced the default router certificates. This went well expect that the certificate in ns/openshift-authentication/secrets/v4-0-config-system-router-certs is not updated and we don't know why.

• ingress-operator is reporting the below error and default certificates are not updated for openshift-authentication
