Create SecretProviderClass using the following command:

cat <<END_SECRETS_STORE_YAML | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: secrets-store.csi.x-k8s.io/v1
kind: SecretProviderClass
metadata:
  name: ${SECRET_PROVIDER_CLASS_NAME}
  namespace: ${NAMESPACE}

  provider: azure
  parameters:
    usePodIdentity: "false"
    useVMManagedIdentity: "true"
    userAssignedIdentityID: ${CLIENT_ID} 
    keyvaultName: ${KV_NAME}
    cloudName: ""
    objects:  |
      array:

          objectName: ${DB_SECRET_NAME}
          objectType: secret
          objectVersion: ""

          objectName: ${DB_SERVER_NAME}

          objectName: ${DB_PORT_NAME}
          objectType: secret
          objectVersion: ""
 
    tenantId:  ${TENANT_ID}
 
END_SECRETS_STORE_YAML

Run the following command:

rm -f ${TLS_FILE_NAME}

curl ${DB_CERT_URL} --output ${TLS_FILE_NAME}

kubectl -n netbackup create secret generic postgresql-netbackup-ca --from-file ${TLS_FILE_NAME}

Create bundle using the following command:

cat <<EOF | kubectl apply -f -
apiVersion: trust.cert-manager.io/v1alpha1
kind: Bundle
metadata:
  name: db-cert
  namespace: netbackup
spec:
  sources:
  - secret:
      name: "postgresql-netbackup-ca"
      key: "tls.crt"
  target:
    namespaceSelector:
      matchLabels:
        kubernetes.io/metadata.name: "netbackup"
    configMap:
      key: "dbcertpem"
EOF

Reset the password and use the same one used at the time of backup.

For more information on resetting the password refer to the Azure-specific procedure in the following section:

Create Service Account for service access:

Create SecretProviderClass as follows:

Run the following command:

PROXY_FILE_NAME='/tmp/proxy.pem'
 
rm -f ${TLS_FILE_NAME} ${PROXY_FILE_NAME}
