- What I did
This replicates the implementation in #5810. This newer version of the implementation does not perform featuregate checks since this feature has been promoted to default.

Implement credential rotation that accepts brief registry downtime.

When an admin updates iriAuthSecret.Data["password"], the controller:

Detects the mismatch between password and htpasswd (via bcrypt compare)
Generates a new bcrypt hash and updates iriAuthSecret.Data["htpasswd"]
Re-renders the master MachineConfig with the new htpasswd
Updates the global pull secret with the new credentials
MCD rolls out the updated MC; brief downtime for IRI registry during
rollout is accepted
Key changes:

Add NoneStatusAction for /etc/iri-registry/auth/htpasswd in NodeDisruptionPolicy
(Distribution registry re-reads htpasswd on mtime change, no restart needed)
Add unit tests for helpers and reconcileAuthSecret
Add e2e tests: unauthenticated 401, authenticated 200, and full rotation flow
(tests use ExecCmdOnNode via MCD pod to reach api-int:22625 in CI)

- How to verify it
Update the password to trigger the rotation to start:

oc -n openshift-machine-config-operator patch secret internal-release-image-registry-auth
--type merge -p '{"data":{"password":"'$(echo -n "new-password" | base64)'"}}'
Verify the /etc/iri-registry/auth/htpasswd has been updated.
Verify iri-registry works new credentials after rollout is complete.
Verify global pull-secret contains the new credentials after rollout is complete.

- Description for the changelog

Support credential rotation in IRI registry.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added automatic credential rotation for the internal image registry.
    • Registry authentication data now updates automatically when credentials change, without requiring a service restart.
    • New credentials are propagated for subsequent image pulls.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of registry authentication updates and synchronization.
    • Invalid or missing credentials now produce clear reconciliation errors.
    • Previous credentials are rejected after successful rotation.

Implement credential rotation that accepts brief registry downtime.

When an admin updates iriAuthSecret.Data["password"], the controller:
1. Detects the mismatch between password and htpasswd (via bcrypt compare)
2. Generates a new bcrypt hash and updates iriAuthSecret.Data["htpasswd"]
3. Re-renders the master MachineConfig with the new htpasswd
4. MCD rolls out the updated MC; brief downtime for IRI registry during
   rollout is accepted

Key changes:
- Add kubeClient field to IRI controller (needed to update auth secret)
- Add reconcileHtpasswd to detect password/htpasswd mismatch and regenerate
  the bcrypt hash; moved to internalreleaseimage_registry_auth.go alongside
  the bcrypt helpers (generateHtpasswdEntry, HtpasswdMatchesPassword)
- Add NoneStatusAction for /etc/iri-registry/auth/htpasswd in NodeDisruptionPolicy
  (distribution registry re-reads htpasswd on mtime change, no restart needed)
- Add unit tests for reconcileHtpasswd
- Add e2e test for the full rotation flow (TestIRIAuth_CredentialRotation);
  uses ExecCmdOnNode via MCD pod to reach api-int:22625 in CI

Move readIRIAuthToken from a standalone function into a method on
iriRegistry (readAuthToken), and have newIRIRegistry call it internally
rather than requiring the caller to resolve credentials beforehand.

newIRIRegistry now returns (*iriRegistry, error) and accepts an optional
authTokenOverride used in tests; in production the override is always
empty and the token is read from the kubelet auth file at construction time.

The manager sync path shrinks from 7 lines to 3.

…space

- addSecret/updateSecret now check namespace (MCONamespace) before name,
  preventing same-name secrets in other namespaces from triggering noisy
  IRI requeues
- reconcileHtpasswd uses authSecret.Namespace instead of the hardcoded
  MCONamespace constant when updating the secret

…emplate controller

Replace if iriSecretsInformer != nil / if iriInformer != nil guards with
fgHandler.Enabled(FeatureGateNoRegistryClusterInstall) checks, making the
intent explicit: IRI event handlers and the merger are only wired when
the feature gate is on, not as a side-effect of nil informers being passed.

The nil-informer approach in start.go is preserved as it correctly prevents
the informers from starting on clusters where the CRD is not installed.

Add verifyCanPullFromIRI helper that creates a pod with imagePullPolicy:Always
using the IRI release image (pulled from the local IRI registry, not quay.io)
and verifies the kubelet can authenticate and pull it. This exercises the full
kubelet credential lookup path (/var/lib/kubelet/config.json) rather than just
raw HTTP auth via curl exec.

Add getIRIReleasePullSpec helper that queries /v2/openshift/release-images/tags/list
on the IRI registry and constructs the local pullspec
(api-int.<baseDomain>:22625/openshift/release-images:<version-tag>).

Add pre-rotation and post-rotation pull checks to TestIRIAuth_CredentialRotation.
The existing curlIRIRegistry checks are retained for old-credential rejection
verification.

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
…edentials rejected

The old-credential 401 check after rotation was running immediately after
observing a single api-int 200 from curlIRIRegistry. Since api-int is a VIP
that load-balances across masters, this only proved one backend had the new
htpasswd; the 401 probe could land on an unrotated master and return 200.

Wait for WaitForPoolCompleteAny("master") before the old-credential assertion
to ensure all masters have applied the new htpasswd before we check rejection.

Assisted-by: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three fixes for reliability of the post-rotation verifyCanPullFromIRI check:

1. Retry getIRIReleasePullSpec until tags are available. After credential
   restores the IRI registry can take a moment to stabilize; querying tags
   immediately can return an empty list causing a spurious test failure.

2. Wait for /var/lib/kubelet/config.json to contain the new IRI credentials
   before creating the pull-test pod. Credential rotation triggers two
   sequential MC rollouts (02-master for htpasswd, 00-master for pull secret);
   WaitForPoolCompleteAny returns after the first, so without this wait the
   pod is created before the pull secret is updated.

3. Retry the pull-test pod if it hits ImagePullBackOff. CRI-O can cache
   authentication failures briefly; deleting and recreating the pod forces a
   fresh authentication attempt with the updated credentials.

Walkthrough

The IRI controller now reconciles registry htpasswd data when credentials change. Registry clients handle authentication lookup errors. Tests cover credential synchronization, image pulls, and end-to-end credential rotation.

Changes

IRI credential rotation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Credential generation and reconciliation
pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/internalreleaseimage_registry_auth.go, pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/*_test.go
The controller generates bcrypt htpasswd entries, matches credentials, updates stale Secret data, and validates matching, missing, changed, and empty-password cases.
Controller event and sync integration
pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/internalreleaseimage_controller.go, pkg/apihelpers/apihelpers.go, pkg/controller/template/template_controller.go, pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/*_test.go
The controller filters relevant Secret events, reconciles credentials before MachineConfig rendering, initializes a Kubernetes client, and updates related fixtures and disruption policy.
Daemon registry authentication
pkg/daemon/internalreleaseimage/iriregistry.go, pkg/daemon/internalreleaseimage/internalreleaseimage_manager.go
The registry constructor supports token overrides, reads kubelet authentication when needed, and propagates construction and lookup errors.
End-to-end rotation validation
test/e2e-iri/iri_test.go
The e2e test verifies authenticated registry access, credential rotation, old-credential rejection, pull-secret propagation, and image pulls after rotation.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 110ca

This change adds registry credential rotation, but concurrent Secret updates can cause reconciliation to fail and an unbounded API request can block controller progress. The PR is not merge-ready until the update uses conflict retries and a bounded context.

Use a shared constant for the htpasswd path.

All neighbouring IRI entries use constants (constants.IRIRegistryConfigPath, constants.IRILoadImageScriptPath, constants.IRIRootCAPath). This entry hardcodes /etc/iri-registry/auth/htpasswd. The same literal also appears in the IRI renderer and in pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/internalreleaseimage_helpers_test.go line 37. If the rendered path changes, this policy silently stops matching and credential rotation starts causing node drain and reboot instead of a no-op.

Add IRIRegistryHtpasswdPath to the constants package and reference it here and in the renderer.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add conflict retry and a bounded context for the Secret update.

authSecret originates from the controller's Secret lister (see pkg/controller/internalreleaseimage/internalreleaseimage_controller.go line 548), so its resourceVersion can be stale. A concurrent write then makes this Update fail with a 409 conflict and fails the whole sync. The rest of the controller wraps writes in retry.RetryOnConflict(updateBackoff, ...).

Also pass a context with a deadline instead of context.TODO(). A blocking API call without a timeout holds a controller worker.
