> Enable to specify an external rootCA certificate to be used internally

> Key: HDDS-7399
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDDS-7399
> Project: Apache Ozone
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Security
> Reporter: István Fajth
> Assignee: Szabolcs Gál
> Priority: Major
> Labels: pki, pull-request-available
> Fix For: 1.4.0
>
>
> In certain organizations the security requirements may include to disallow
> the usage of any separate trust chain that is distinct from the
> organisational chain.
> In case of Ozone the internal trust chain is independent and transparent, but
> still we would like to conform with this requirement on the long run.
> In order to conform such regulations, we need to enable the possibility to
> specify an external CA certificate instead of the self signed one that we use
> as the root of all trust within Ozone.
> This feature comes with its own problems, as if this certificate is specified
> as part of a configuration, that means it may change while the service is
> restarting.
> We can detect this change as we should store our certificates in a way that
> we can provide the certificate bundles and those are including the root CA
> certificate, but we also need to handle this during startup.
> If a new root CA certificate is provided to the system at startup, that
> effectively means that we need to revoke the current certificates, and go
> through a similar procedure that we plan to have for the revocation of the
> internally generated rootCA certificate with the fundamental difference that
> we have to do it at startup and we can not rely on the old certificate at
> all, as we can not assume that the old rootCA certificate is not revoked, or
> expired already at this point.
