Summary

Prerequisite for CRW-13245 — migrating CI from full IPI clusters to HyperShift
hosted clusters. All changes are backward compatible with current IPI setup.

What does this PR do?

Changes in .ci/openshift-ci/common.sh:

  1. HyperShift-compatible OAuth provisioning — provisionOpenShiftOAuthUser()
    now detects HyperShift environment (${SHARED_DIR}/nested_kubeconfig) and
    configures htpasswd identity provider via HostedCluster API on the management
    cluster instead of directly modifying oauths/cluster (which is blocked by
    ValidatingAdmissionPolicy in HyperShift).

  2. waitForPRImage() — polls Quay.io API until the PR image tag becomes
    available before deployChe(). With HyperShift, cluster is ready in ~15 min
    while GitHub Action image build takes ~20 min.

  3. Smart image tag fallback — when REPO_NAME is not che-server (e.g.,
    during ci-operator config rehearsal from openshift/release PR), uses
    quay.io/eclipse/che-server:next instead of non-existent pr-<NUMBER>.

Changes in .ci/openshift-ci/test-che-smoke-test.sh:

  1. Added waitForPRImage call before deployChe.

Backward compatibility

With current IPI setup:

  • REPO_NAME=che-server → uses pr-<NUMBER> image as before
  • provisionOpenShiftOAuthUser → no nested_kubeconfig file → IPI path unchanged
  • waitForPRImage → image already available → returns immediately (0s delay)

How to test this PR?

Test plan

  • Verify no regressions on current IPI setup (PR CI should pass as-is)
  • After openshift/release config merge: HyperShift rehearsal with OAuth + deploy

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Chores
    • Updated OpenShift test setup to support both IPI and HyperShift environments, applying OAuth configuration to the appropriate cluster.
    • Improved pull-request image selection and readiness checks for different repository types.
    • Extended the administrator login wait time and adjusted retry intervals.
    • Smoke tests now wait for the pull-request image after OAuth setup before continuing.

With the upcoming switch from IPI to HyperShift hosted clusters,
cluster provisioning will complete in ~5-10 minutes instead of ~40.
The GitHub Action that builds and pushes the PR image to quay.io
takes ~20 minutes, so the cluster may be ready before the image is
available. Add waitForPRImage() that polls the Quay API until the
tag appears, preventing deployChe from failing on a missing image.

This is backward-compatible with the current IPI setup — when the
cluster takes longer than the build, the check passes immediately.

- provisionOpenShiftOAuthUser() now detects HyperShift via
  ${SHARED_DIR}/nested_kubeconfig and configures htpasswd IDP
  through HostedCluster API on the management cluster instead of
  directly modifying oauths/cluster (blocked by ValidatingAdmissionPolicy)
- Smart image tag: uses pr-<NUMBER> for che-server PRs, falls back to
  "next" tag for ci-operator config rehearsals (REPO_NAME != che-server)
- waitForPRImage() skips when not a che-server PR
- Added waitForPRImage call in test-che-smoke-test.sh before deployChe
- Increased OAuth wait timeout to 10 min (HyperShift rollout is slower)

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The OpenShift CI scripts select PR image tags by repository and skip image polling for repositories other than che-server. OAuth provisioning uses IPI or HyperShift setup. The smoke-test script waits for the PR image after OAuth provisioning.

Changes

OpenShift CI smoke-test flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Platform-specific OAuth provisioning
.ci/openshift-ci/common.sh
OAuth setup selects IPI or HyperShift based on the presence of nested_kubeconfig. The IPI path creates the secret in openshift-config. The HyperShift path creates the secret in the HostedCluster namespace and adds an HTPasswd provider to the existing identity provider list. The shared login wait increases to 10 minutes, with 10-second retries.
Repository-aware PR image wait
.ci/openshift-ci/common.sh, .ci/openshift-ci/test-che-smoke-test.sh
che-server uses the pr-${PULL_NUMBER} image tag. Other repositories use next and skip Quay polling. The smoke-test script waits for the image after OAuth provisioning.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

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

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 6a7c7

Resolve the admin-login trust setting and the two conditional CI failures before merging, unless their risks are explicitly accepted.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 90231

The change introduces management-cluster OAuth provisioning and disables certificate verification during a password-bearing admin login. The affected flow is CI-scoped, but the credentials and OAuth configuration have cluster-wide effects.

Retained concerns

  • High · security · observed: The shared, password-bearing admin login now bypasses TLS certificate verification after either OAuth provisioning branch. An attacker able to intercept or impersonate that endpoint could obtain CI cluster-admin credentials.
  • Medium · security · inferred: The HyperShift merge patch supplies a one-element identityProviders array. If the HostedCluster has other providers, provisioning replaces their configuration, potentially changing cluster-wide authentication availability or controls.
  • Medium · security · inferred: The new management-cluster path creates a fixed-name secret before patching OAuth, without reconciliation or rollback in the helper. Repeated runs can stop at an existing secret, while patch failure can leave an unreferenced credential secret; shared namespaces also make name collisions possible.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The demonstrated exposure is the CI-managed cluster rather than a public application entrypoint. Successful misuse of the login password can affect the guest cluster because that user is granted cluster-admin; OAuth patch effects span the selected HostedCluster.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

  • observed — The verified password-bearing login now disables certificate verification, whereas the base command explicitly kept it enabled. Exploitation requires an attacker capable of intercepting or impersonating the CI cluster endpoint; the management-kubeconfig presence check does not validate this login endpoint.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — Shared-directory artifacts select the authority mode, target cluster, and management namespace. A management kubeconfig is required, but its privileges and the integrity controls on those artifacts are not established by the available source.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • inferred — There is no in-helper recovery between secret creation and HostedCluster patching. Existing provider configuration and external CI teardown are unknown, so actual provider displacement or persistence of a partial secret cannot be confirmed.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Keep certificate verification enabled for admin login and provide the appropriate cluster CA when needed; reconcile a cluster-specific OAuth secret and preserve existing identity providers with an explicit recovery and cleanup owner.

Use python3 to read the HostedCluster JSON, append the htpasswd
provider to the existing identityProviders array, and oc replace.
This avoids --type=merge which would overwrite any pre-existing IDPs.

🟠 Major · Skip the PR-image wait for an overridden image. · common.sh:43-55

.ci/openshift-ci/common.sh:43-55
🩺 Stability & Availability | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Skip the PR-image wait for an overridden image.

When CHE_SERVER_IMAGE is set to a different image, waitForPRImage still polls quay.io/eclipse/che-server:${PR_IMAGE_TAG}. The smoke test calls this function before deployChe, which uses the override. If the default PR tag is unavailable, the test waits 30 minutes and exits before deployment.

Suggested fix
   if [[ "${REPO_NAME:-}" != "che-server" ]]; then
     echo "------- [INFO] Skipping PR image wait (not a che-server PR, using ${PR_IMAGE_TAG}) -------"
     return 0

Update an existing htpasswd provider instead of appending a duplicate.

If the HostedCluster already has a provider named htpasswd, idps.append(...) gives both providers the same name. OpenShift requires identity-provider names to be unique, so the resulting OAuth configuration cannot be used as intended. Replace the matching entry when it exists; append only when it does not.
