See documentation for the latest supported version 3 or the latest supported version 4.14.2. Secured routes
Secure routes provide the ability to use several types of TLS termination to serve certificates to the client. The following sections describe how to create re-encrypt, edge, and passthrough routes with custom certificates.
If you create routes in Microsoft Azure through public endpoints, the resource names are subject to restriction. You cannot create resources that use certain terms. For a list of terms that Azure restricts, see Resolve reserved resource name errors in the Azure documentation.
You can configure a secure route using reencrypt TLS termination with a custom certificate by using the oc create route
command.
Prerequisites
- You must have a certificate/key pair in PEM-encoded files, where the certificate is valid for the route host.
- You may have a separate CA certificate in a PEM-encoded file that completes the certificate chain.
- You must have a separate destination CA certificate in a PEM-encoded file.
- You must have a service that you want to expose.
Password protected key files are not supported. To remove a passphrase from a key file, use the following command:
openssl rsa -in password_protected_tls.key -out tls.key
$ openssl rsa -in password_protected_tls.key -out tls.key
Procedure
This procedure creates a Route
resource with a custom certificate and reencrypt TLS termination. The following assumes that the certificate/key pair are in the tls.crt
and tls.key
files in the current working directory. You must also specify a destination CA certificate to enable the Ingress Controller to trust the service’s certificate. You may also specify a CA certificate if needed to complete the certificate chain. Substitute the actual path names for tls.crt
, tls.key
, cacert.crt
, and (optionally) ca.crt
. Substitute the name of the Service
resource that you want to expose for frontend
. Substitute the appropriate host name for www.example.com
.

$ oc create route reencrypt --service=frontend --cert=tls.crt --key=tls.key --dest-ca-cert=destca.crt --ca-cert=ca.crt --hostname=www.example.com

14.2.2. Creating an edge route with a custom certificate 复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
You can configure a secure route using edge TLS termination with a custom certificate by using the oc create route
command. With an edge route, the Ingress Controller terminates TLS encryption before forwarding traffic to the destination pod. The route specifies the TLS certificate and key that the Ingress Controller uses for the route.
Prerequisites
- You must have a certificate/key pair in PEM-encoded files, where the certificate is valid for the route host.
- You may have a separate CA certificate in a PEM-encoded file that completes the certificate chain.
- You must have a service that you want to expose.
Password protected key files are not supported. To remove a passphrase from a key file, use the following command:
openssl rsa -in password_protected_tls.key -out tls.key
$ openssl rsa -in password_protected_tls.key -out tls.key
Procedure
This procedure creates a Route
resource with a custom certificate and edge TLS termination. The following assumes that the certificate/key pair are in the tls.crt
and tls.key
files in the current working directory. You may also specify a CA certificate if needed to complete the certificate chain. Substitute the actual path names for tls.crt
, tls.key
, and (optionally) ca.crt
. Substitute the name of the service that you want to expose for frontend
. Substitute the appropriate host name for www.example.com

14.2.3. Creating a passthrough route 复制链接链接已复制到粘贴板!
You can configure a secure route using passthrough termination by using the oc create route
command. With passthrough termination, encrypted traffic is sent straight to the destination without the router providing TLS termination. Therefore no key or certificate is required on the route.
Prerequisites
- You must have a service that you want to expose.
Procedure
Create a
Route
resource:oc create route passthrough route-passthrough-secured --service=frontend --port=8080
$ oc create route passthrough route-passthrough-secured --service=frontend --port=8080
