In the upstream dynamiccertificates package, we rely on two pieces
of code:
1. DynamicServingCertificateController.newTLSContent which calls
- clientCA.CurrentCABundleContent
- servingCert.CurrentCertKeyContent
2. unionCAContent.VerifyOptions which calls
- unionCAContent.CurrentCABundleContent
This results in calls to our tlsServingCertDynamicCertProvider and
impersonationSigningCertProvider. If we Unset these providers, we
subtly break these consumers. At best this results in test slowness
and flakes while we wait for reconcile loops to converge. At worst,
it results in actual errors during runtime. For example, we
previously would Unset the impersonationSigningCertProvider on any
sync loop error (even a transient one caused by a network blip or
a conflict between writes from different replicas of the concierge).
This would cause us to transiently fail to issue new certificates
from the token credential require API. It would also cause us to
transiently fail to authenticate previously issued client certs
(which results in occasional Unauthorized errors in CI).

At a high level, it switches us to a distroless base container image, but that also includes several related bits:
- Add a writable /tmp but make the rest of our filesystems read-only at runtime.
- Condense our main server binaries into a single pinniped-server binary. This saves a bunch of space in
the image due to duplicated library code. The correct behavior is dispatched based on `os.Args[0]`, and
the `pinniped-server` binary is symlinked to `pinniped-concierge` and `pinniped-supervisor`.
- Strip debug symbols from our binaries. These aren't really useful in a distroless image anyway and all the
normal stuff you'd expect to work, such as stack traces, still does.
- Add a separate `pinniped-concierge-kube-cert-agent` binary with "sleep" and "print" functionality instead of
using builtin /bin/sleep and /bin/cat for the kube-cert-agent. This is split from the main server binary
because the loading/init time of the main server binary was too large for the tiny resource footprint we
established in our kube-cert-agent PodSpec. Using a separate binary eliminates this issue and the extra
binary adds only around 1.5MiB of image size.
- Switch the kube-cert-agent code to use a JSON `{"tls.crt": "<b64 cert>", "tls.key": "<b64 key>"}` format.
This is more robust to unexpected input formatting than the old code, which simply concatenated the files
with some extra newlines and split on whitespace.
- Update integration tests that made now-invalid assumptions about the `pinniped-server` image.

Prior to this fix, this controller did not correctly react to changes to the ClusterIP service. It would still eventually react with a long delay due to our 5 minute resync interval.

This change fixes a race that can occur because we have multiple
writers with no leader election lock.
1. TestAPIServingCertificateAutoCreationAndRotation/automatic
expires the current serving certificate
2. CertsExpirerController 1 deletes expired serving certificate
3. CertsExpirerController 2 starts deletion of expired serving
certificate but has not done so yet
4. CertsManagerController 1 creates new serving certificate
5. TestAPIServingCertificateAutoCreationAndRotation/automatic
records the new serving certificate
6. CertsExpirerController 2 finishes deletion, and thus deletes the
newly created serving certificate instead of the old one
7. CertsManagerController 2 creates new serving certificate
8. TestAPIServingCertificateAutoCreationAndRotation/automatic keeps
running and eventually times out because it is expecting the
serving certificate created by CertsManagerController 2 to match
the value it recorded from CertsManagerController 1 (which will
never happen since that certificate was incorrectly deleted).

TestAgentController really runs the controller and evaluates multiple
calls to the controller's Sync with real informers caching updates.
There is a large amount of non-determinism in this unit test, and it
does not always behave the same way. Because it makes assertions about
the specific errors that should be returned by Sync, it was not
accounting for some errors that are only returned by Sync once in a
while depending on the exact (unpredictable) order of operations.
This commit doesn't fix the non-determinism in the test, but rather
tries to work around it by also allowing other (undesired but
inevitable) error messages to appear in the list of actual error
messages returned by the calls to the Sync function.

After noticing that the upstream OIDC discovery calls can hang
indefinitely, I had tried to impose a one minute timeout on them
by giving them a timeout context. However, I hadn't noticed that the
context also gets passed into the JWKS fetching object, which gets
added to our cache and used later. Therefore the timeout context
was added to the cache and timed out while sitting in the cache,
causing later JWKS fetchers to fail.
This commit is trying again to impose a reasonable timeout on these
discovery and JWKS calls, but this time by using http.Client's Timeout
field, which is documented to be a timeout for *each* request/response
cycle, so hopefully this is a more appropriate way to impose a timeout
for this use case. The http.Client instance ends up in the cache on
the JWKS fetcher object, so the timeout should apply to each JWKS
request as well.
Requests that can hang forever are effectively a server-side resource
leak, which could theoretically be taken advantage of in a denial of
service attempt, so it would be nice to avoid having them.
- Add new optional ytt params for the Supervisor deployment.
- When the Supervisor is making calls to an upstream OIDC provider,
use these variables if they were provided.
- These settings are integration tested in the main CI pipeline by
sometimes setting them on deployments in certain cases, and then
letting the existing integration tests (e.g. TestE2EFullIntegration)
provide the coverage, so there are no explicit changes to the
integration tests themselves in this commit.
- this allows the oidc upsream watcher to honor the
HTTP_PROXY,HTTPS_PROXY,NO_PROXY environment variables

When a CredentialIssuer is switched from one service type to another (or switched to disabled mode), the `impersonatorconfig` controller will delete the previous Service, if any. Normally one Concierge pod will succeed to delete this initially and any other pods will see a NotFound error.
Before this change, the NotFound would bubble up and cause the strategy to enter a ErrorDuringSetup status until the next reconcile loop. We now handle this case without reporting an error.

These are tricky because a real load balancer controller (e.g., on GKE) will overwrite and set NodePort, so we can't blindly set the desired state of this fields.
For now, we will just skip reconciling these. In the future, we could be more clever about merging them together with the current state.

If the only thing that has changed about a strategy is the LastUpdated timestamp, then we should not update the object.
Signed-off-by: Margo Crawford <margaretc@vmware.com>
This updates the code to use a different mechanism for driving desired state:
- Read existing object
- If it does not exist, create desired object
- If it does exist, make a copy and set all the desired fields
- Do a deepequal to see if an update is necessary.

We also no longer need an initial event, since we don't do anything unless the CredentialIssuer exists, so we'll always be triggered at the appropriate time.

- Automatically try to fall back to using StartTLS when using TLS
doesn't work. Only complain when both don't work.
- Remember (in-memory) which one worked and keeping using that one
in the future (unless the pod restarts).
- This enhances our LDAP client code to make it possible to optionally
dial an LDAP server without TLS and then use StartTLS to upgrade
the connection to TLS.
- The controller for LDAPIdentityProviders is not using this option
yet. That will come in a future commit.
Previously, our controllers would automatically create a CredentialIssuer with a singleton name. The helpers we had for this also used "raw" client access and did not take advantage of the informer cache pattern.
With this change, the CredentialIssuer is always created at install time in the ytt YAML. The controllers now only update the existing CredentialIssuer status, and they do so using the informer cache as much as possible.
This change is targeted at only the kubecertagent controller to start. The impersonatorconfig controller will be updated in a following PR along with other changes.
