IFS Cloud MT Installer fails after SSL certificate renewal – JFrog Helm repository returns 401

I am facing an issue while renewing the SSL certificate for our IFS Cloud environment.

Environment:
- IFS Cloud chart version: 222.2.0
- Windows Management Server
- MicroK8s Kubernetes
- Helm version: 3.11.3
- Java bundled with IFS Cloud: Java 11
- Installation action: mtinstaller

The existing SSL certificate was renewed, so I updated the certificateFile and certificatePassword in ifscloud-values.yaml.

The new PFX certificate has been tested using the Java keytool bundled with IFS Cloud and the PFX opens successfully as PKCS12 with a PrivateKeyEntry.

However, when I run:

.\installer.cmd --set action=mtinstaller

the MT installer fails during the Helm upgrade.

The important error is:

INFO: Installing ifs-cloud
INFO: Using chart ifscloud/ifs-cloud --version 222.2.0
INFO: Doing a dry-run ..
INFO: Running helm upgrade

SEVERE: Failed to install ifs-cloud

Error: looks like "https://ifscloud.jfrog.io/artifactory/helm" is not a valid chart repository or cannot be reached:
Failed to fetch https://ifscloud.jfrog.io/artifactory/helm/index.yaml : 401

Hang tight while we grab the latest from your chart repositories...
...Unable to get an update from the "ifscloud" chart repository
failed to fetch https://ifscloud.jfrog.io/artifactory/helm/index.yaml : 401

The Helm repository is configured as:

helmRepo: https://ifscloud.jfrog.io/artifactory/helm

I also tested:

helm repo update ifscloud

and consistently receive:

401 Unauthorized
Bad Credentials

The local Helm repository cache does not contain ifscloud-index.yaml because the repository update is failing.

I have also checked the JFrog credentials configured for the IFS installation, but the repository authentication is still returning HTTP 401.

Any guidance would be appreciated.

Thank you.

IFS Cloud 22R2! - Shame on you! Upgrade ASAP! 😉

Your JFrog credentials need updating.

When updating cetificates it’s important that you restart all pods that use the certificates i.e. ifsapp-proxy in the ifscloud namespace and the nginx-ingress-controller pod in namespace ifs-ingress 

kubectl delete pod <xxxxx> -n <namespace>
