Certificate management - Issuer not created

Symptom

Whey you try to create an Issuer CR using cert.gardener.cloud/v1alpha1, the resource is not created. There are no logs in the cert-management controller.

Cause

The Namespece in which the Issuer CR was cretaed is incorrect. By default, the cert-management watches the default Namespace for all Issuer CRs.

Remedy

Make sure if you created the Issuer CR in the default Namespace. Run:

Click to copy
kubectl get issuers -A

If you want to create the Issuer CR in a different Namespace, adjust the cert-management settings during the installation.
