ClusterRole & ClusterRoleBindings for istio-csr

[ravikumar1907]

It is always required to have clusterrole and clusterrolebinding for certi-manager-istio-csr deployment. I tried to convert clusterrole and clusterrolebindings into role and rolebinding to have istio-csr per namespace. But things are not working as expected.

Role Rules:
rules:

• apiGroups:
  • cert-manager.io
    resources:
  • certificaterequests
    verbs:
  • get
  • list
  • create
  • update
  • delete
  • watch
• apiGroups:
  • ""
    resources:
  • events
    verbs:
  • create
• apiGroups:
  • ""
    resources:
  • configmaps
    verbs:
  • get
  • list
  • create
  • update
  • watch
• apiGroups:
  • ""
    resources:
  • namespaces
    verbs:
  • get
  • list
  • watch
• apiGroups:
  • authentication.k8s.io
    resources:
  • tokenreviews
    verbs:
  • create

name: ns1-istio-csr
namespace: ns1
resourceVersion: "3964"
uid: d8f7fa1b-ef26-4726-80fd-d66bcccf7071
roleRef:
apiGroup: rbac.authorization.k8s.io
kind: Role
name: ns1-istio-csr
subjects:

• kind: ServiceAccount
  name: ns1-istio-csr
  namespace: ns1
• kind: ServiceAccount
  name: ns1-istio-csr
  namespace: istio-system

istio-csr arguments adjusted to namespace as below

controller

      - "--leader-election-namespace=ns1"
      - "--configmap-namespace-selector=kubernetes.io/metadata.name=ns1"

cert-manager

      - "--certificate-namespace=ns1"
      - "--issuer-name=istio-ca"
      - "--issuer-kind=Issuer"
      - "--issuer-group=cert-manager.io"
      - "--preserve-certificate-requests=false"

Associated a service account : ns1:ns1-istio-csr to istio-csr pod , but still getting below errors. Could someone help me to fix this issue w/0 cluster scoped roles and rolebindings
