When I start OVN/OVs using ovn-ctl /ovs-ctl the ovsdb-server processes have
SSL credentials of the form:
--private-key=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,private_key

--bootstrap-ca-cert=db:Open_vSwitch,SSL,ca_cert
--private-key=db:OVN_Northbound,SSL,private_key

--ssl-ciphers=db:OVN_Southbound,SSL,ssl_ciphers
From what I gather this means it gets these values from the database, OVS,
OVN North/South?
But does that mean that SSL is enabled by default and use a default set of
credentials/cipers?
Or does it mean If these values (Open_vSwitch,SSL,certificate e,g) are not
set in the OVS, or OVN North/South bound data base
then the connections are not SSL.
And if the later is the case how are these set?
It means that SSL/TLS connections will use these values. Whether SSL is
in use is separately configured. If you see "pssl:..." in a remote,
that's an SSL one; "ptcp:..." is for non-SSL TCP.
OK not used if SSL not configured. If SSL configured uses the credentials
pointed to by
--private-key etc, which can be in the Open_vSwitch, OVN_Northbound or
OVN_Southbound
databases in the specified table or else where. So wondering are there
helper tools
(ovn-ctl /ovs-ctl ?) to set these DB tables or are they created/manipulated
by modifying the
DB directly. Guess read the manual.
ovs-vsctl, ovn-nbctl, and ovn-sbctl have commands to manipulate these
tables.
Thanks
