PropertyTypeDescription
apiVersionstringAPIVersion defines the versioned schema of this representation of an object. Servers should convert recognized schemas to the latest internal value, and may reject unrecognized values.

kindstringKind is a string value representing the REST resource this object represents. Servers may infer this from the endpoint the client submits requests to. Cannot be updated. In CamelCase.

PropertyTypeDescription
backendobjectbackend holds the configuration of backend which is serving console’s plugin .
contentSecurityPolicyarraycontentSecurityPolicy is a list of Content-Security-Policy (CSP) directives for the plugin. Each directive specifies a list of values, appropriate for the given directive type, for example a list of remote endpoints for fetch directives such as ScriptSrc. Console web application uses CSP to detect and mitigate certain types of attacks, such as cross-site scripting (XSS) and data injection attacks. Dynamic plugins should specify this field if need to load assets from outside the cluster or if violation reports are observed. Dynamic plugins should always prefer loading their assets from within the cluster, either by vendoring them, or fetching from a cluster service. CSP violation reports can be viewed in the browser’s console logs during development and testing of the plugin in the OpenShift web console. Available directive types are DefaultSrc, ScriptSrc, StyleSrc, ImgSrc, FontSrc and ConnectSrc. Each of the available directives may be defined only once in the list. The value 'self' is automatically included in all fetch directives by the OpenShift web console’s backend. For more information about the CSP directives, see: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Headers/Content-Security-Policy
The OpenShift web console server aggregates the CSP directives and values across its own default values and all enabled ConsolePlugin CRs, merging them into a single policy string that is sent to the browser via Content-Security-Policy HTTP response header.
Example: ConsolePlugin A directives: script-src: https://script1.com/, https://script2.com/ font-src: https://font1.com/
ConsolePlugin B directives: script-src: https://script2.com/, https://script3.com/ font-src: https://font2.com/ img-src: https://img1.com/
Unified set of CSP directives, passed to the OpenShift web console server: script-src: https://script1.com/, https://script2.com/, https://script3.com/ font-src: https://font1.com/, https://font2.com/ img-src: https://img1.com/

valuesarray (string)values defines an array of values to append to the console defaults for this directive. Each ConsolePlugin may define their own directives with their values. These will be set by the OpenShift web console’s backend, as part of its Content-Security-Policy header. The array can contain at most 16 values. Each directive value must have a maximum length of 1024 characters and must not contain whitespace, commas (,), semicolons (;) or single quotes ('). The value '*' is not permitted. Each value in the array must be unique.

ParameterTypeDescription
dryRunstringWhen present, indicates that modifications should not be persisted. An invalid or unrecognized dryRun directive will result in an error response and no further processing of the request. Valid values are: - All: all dry run stages will be processed
fieldValidationstringfieldValidation instructs the server on how to handle objects in the request (POST/PUT/PATCH) containing unknown or duplicate fields. Valid values are: - Ignore: This will ignore any unknown fields that are silently dropped from the object, and will ignore all but the last duplicate field that the decoder encounters. This is the default behavior prior to v1.23. - Warn: This will send a warning via the standard warning response header for each unknown field that is dropped from the object, and for each duplicate field that is encountered. The request will still succeed if there are no other errors, and will only persist the last of any duplicate fields. This is the default in v1.23+ - Strict: This will fail the request with a BadRequest error if any unknown fields would be dropped from the object, or if any duplicate fields are present. The error returned from the server will contain all unknown and duplicate fields encountered.
