Commands used to generate keystone and certs for use with edge termination with certificates

Create a keystore:

keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore keystore.jks -storepass supersecret -validity 360 -keysize 2048

Convert key to pkcs12 format:

keytool -importkeystore -srckeystore keystore.jks  -destkeystore keystore.p12 -srcstoretype jks -deststoretype pkcs12

Get cert and private key from this file:

openssl pkcs12 -in keystore.p12 -nodes -password pass:supersecret
Commands used to generate keystore, secret and service account for passthrough termination:

Create a keystore:

keytool -genkey -keyalg RSA -alias selfsigned -keystore keystore.jks -storepass supersecret -validity 360 -keysize 2048

Add a secret:

oc secrets new eap-app-secret keystore.jks

Add a service account to use the above secret:

echo '{
"apiVersion": "v1",
"kind": "ServiceAccount",
"metadata": {
"name": "eap-service-account"
},
"secrets": [
