https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OPRUN-4711

Implements the library-go portion of the TLS curves configuration enhancement: observe the TLSSecurityProfile.groups field so operators can propagate curve (group) preferences to their operands alongside minTLSVersion and cipherSuites.

What this adds

pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver

  • ObserveTLSSecurityProfileWithGroupPaths — like ObserveTLSSecurityProfileWithPaths, but also observes group preferences at a caller-supplied path. The version/cipher/group observations share one resolved profile spec so they cannot drift.
  • The administrator's group list is propagated verbatim, including an empty list. Per the enhancement, if the resulting groups cannot negotiate with a peer the handshake is expected to fail rather than falling back to unrequested curves — so the observer neither injects fallback groups nor omits the path.

pkg/crypto

  • IsFIPSEnabled() — reports whether the Go runtime is in FIPS 140 mode (crypto/fips140.Enabled()).
  • FIPSApprovedTLSGroups(groups) — returns the FIPS-approved subset (NIST P-curves only). Per the enhancement, FIPS-mode omission of non-approved groups is the consuming component's responsibility: a component filters its own groups with IsFIPSEnabled + FIPSApprovedTLSGroups, rather than the observer doing it. The KNOWN DIVERGENCE note documents why the allowlist is intentionally stricter than Go's native FIPS module on X25519MLKEM768.

Design notes (addressing earlier review)

An earlier revision had the observer inject a classical TLS 1.2 "fail-safe" curve set and fall back to operand defaults when filtering emptied the list. That has been removed: the enhancement states handshake failure is the intended outcome when no mutually-supported groups remain, and baking augmentation into the observer would diverge from components that consume the profile directly. The observer now honors the configured list as-is; FIPS filtering is an opt-in pkg/crypto helper for components.

Test plan

  • go test ./pkg/crypto/... ./pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver/...
  • same under GODEBUG=fips140=on

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for observing and reporting configured TLS groups.
    • Preserved all configured TLS groups, including custom, empty, and ML-KEM groups.
    • Added detection of FIPS mode and filtering for approved NIST TLS groups.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved TLS profile fallback behavior when profiles are missing or incomplete.
    • Prevented unnecessary change events when TLS group settings remain unchanged.

Walkthrough

The change adds FIPS TLS-group utilities and extends TLS security profile observation to read, preserve, compare, and report configured groups. Profile resolution is shared across cipher-suite and group extraction, with Intermediate fallback.

Changes

FIPS TLS-group utilities

Layer / File(s) Summary
FIPS group policy and validation
pkg/crypto/fips.go, pkg/crypto/fips_test.go
Defines the three approved NIST curves, detects runtime FIPS mode, filters unsupported groups while preserving order, and tests approved, rejected, mixed, and empty inputs.

TLS profile group observation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Shared TLS profile and group observation
pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver/observe_tlssecurityprofile.go, pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver/observe_tlssecurityprofile_test.go
Adds group-aware observation, shared profile resolution with Intermediate fallback, verbatim group extraction, nil/empty equality, result pruning, error handling, and reconciliation tests.

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 1a90a

The change is merge-ready after normal checks and review; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains.

Warning: The referenced jira issue has an invalid target version for the target branch this PR targets: expected the story to target the "5.0.0" version, but no target version was set.

Details

In response to this:

https://redhat.atlassian.net/browse/OPRUN-4645

Builds on #2347 (now merged) to wire the TLS group mapping into the observer.

Summary

  • getSecurityProfileGroups: extracts TLSProfileSpec.Groups as []string, filtering any group not recognised by TLSGroupToCurveID (mirrors getSecurityProfileCiphers dropping unsupported ciphers via OpenSSLToIANACipherSuites)
  • ObserveTLSSecurityProfileWithGroupPaths: new observer function alongside the existing ObserveTLSSecurityProfileWithPaths, stores curve group preferences at a caller-specified path in observedConfig and emits an event on change

Group names are stored as []string matching the TLSGroup string constants from openshift/api, so they can be passed directly as CLI arguments to operands that accept group names (e.g. --tls-custom-curves).

Test plan

  • go test ./pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver/... passes

If the APIServer/cluster resource is not found (too early in the startup/install), then it could be that this is called with nil, and that the default is used. When the APIserver/cluster is created, then the watches will find it, and a real profile will be found.

Good catch — removed. There was no earlier citation; the parenthetical was a leftover. The comment now just states the NIST SP 800-186 / SP 800-56A basis for the P-curve allowlist.

I admit I got lost in the reasoning here.

User explicitly asks for only specific TLS 1.3 curves and at the same time allows minTLSVersion=1.2.

Why does the code assume the user wants any 1.2 curves? They explicitly listed curves they want, didn't they? What is the list good for. if OCP does not respect it?

The KEP says:

Runtime behavior: If no mutually supported groups (or ciphers) remain after filtering, TLS handshakes will fail with errors like "handshake failure" (for cipher suites) or "no shared group" (for groups). This is the expected and desired behavior — it ensures only supported cryptographic parameters are used.

If you want a different behavior, then please update the KEP. Not all components use library-go and they must append the same 1.2 curves.

Agreed, and you're right per the KEP. I've removed the entire fail-safe mechanism (tls_handshake_failsafe.go and its use in the observer). The observer no longer appends any TLS 1.2 curves: the administrator's group list is honored verbatim, and a legacy-client handshake failure is the intended, documented outcome. This also avoids the divergence you noted — components that consume the profile directly no longer have to replicate an augmentation step that only library-go performed.

Again, user explicitly listed some curves. The operator should not fall back to its own list. IMO, if the final list of curves is empty, then let it be empty and let TLS fail hard.

Done. The observer now stores the filtered list verbatim, including an empty list — it no longer omits the path or substitutes defaults. An empty result means no mutually-supported groups remain and TLS fails hard, matching the KEP's "expected and desired" behavior.

Related: FIPS omission is no longer done in the observer at all. Per the KEP that filtering is the consuming component's responsibility, so it's now an opt-in pkg/crypto helper (IsFIPSEnabled + FIPSApprovedTLSGroups) rather than something baked into the observation.

Done — replaced the bespoke groupsEqual helper with slices.Equal (it already treats nil and empty as equal, which is the nil-vs-empty first-reconcile case).

If you implement a KEP, then please link it next time!

I did not read the full code, the design direction needs to be clarified first.

Thanks for the info; I was unaware of the KEP. A lot of the testing and the failsafe behavior (which is apparently not needed) was implemented by @sanchezl. I've simplified this PR to match the KEP's behavior, so we can have the minimum necessary to allow library-go users to proceed.

I did keep an API to allow components to filter for FIPS, but it's not part of the observer (which returns the curves unmodified). This allows components to filter for FIPS without having to maintain the filter themselves. It's not part of the KEP, but it's also a non-required/optional part that still puts the FIPS filtering on components.

@sanchezl, if you want to enhance this, I would propose another PR be made after this merges.

Add support for observing the TLSSecurityProfile.Groups field so operators can
propagate curve preferences to their operands alongside minTLSVersion and
cipherSuites, per the api-tls-curves-config enhancement.

pkg/operator/configobserver/apiserver:
- ObserveTLSSecurityProfileWithGroupPaths observes group preferences at a
  caller-supplied path, sharing one resolved profile spec with the existing
  cipher/version observation.
- The administrator's group list is propagated verbatim, including an empty
  list. Per the enhancement, if the resulting groups cannot negotiate with a
  peer the handshake is expected to fail rather than falling back to unrequested
  curves, so the observer neither injects fallback groups nor omits the path.

pkg/crypto:
- IsFIPSEnabled reports whether the Go runtime is in FIPS 140 mode.
- FIPSApprovedTLSGroups returns the FIPS-approved subset of a group list
  (NIST P-curves only). FIPS-mode omission is the consuming component's
  responsibility per the enhancement; a component filters its own groups with
  IsFIPSEnabled + FIPSApprovedTLSGroups rather than the observer doing it. The
  KNOWN DIVERGENCE note documents why the allowlist is stricter than Go's native
  FIPS module on X25519MLKEM768.
