[Bug]: Lack of support for intermediate_certificates in netapp-ontap_security_certificate causes installed certificates to be unusable

[alexhoulton]

Terraform Core Version

1.4.4

ONTAP Provider Version

2.1.1

Affected Resource(s)

• netapp-ontap_security_certificate

Expected Behavior

Installing a certificate that requires intermediate certificates is successful.

Actual Behavior

You cannot chain the certificate and intermediate together in the public_certificate field, as this causes an error.

Relevant Error/Panic Output Snippet

│ error on POST security/certificates: REST reported error
│ restclient.RestError{Code:"52559975", Message:"Failed to read the
│ certificate due to incorrect formatting.", Target:"public_certificate"},
│ statusCode: 400, statusCode 400

Terraform Configuration Files

resource "netapp-ontap_security_certificate" "install_certificate" {
  cx_profile_name = var.netapp_cluster_name
  common_name     = "${var.netapp_cluster_name}"
  type            = "server"

  private_key        = acme_certificate.netapp_tls_cert.private_key_pem
  public_certificate = join("", [
      acme_certificate.netapp_tls_cert.certificate_pem,
      acme_certificate.netapp_tls_cert.issuer_pem
      var.acme_ca_root_cert_pem
    ])
}

Steps to Reproduce

attempt to install the certificate with the intermediate chained into the public_certificate variable

Debug Output

No response

Panic Output

No response

Important Factoids

Certificates that require the intermediate chained to be trusted cannot be utilised through the terraform provider at all, as they are not trusted. Based on the bug criteria, this is unexpected behaviour "If the absense of the requested feature is causing unexpected behavior in the provider", so this was filed under Bug rather than Enhancement.
