About Accessing the Endpoint from Inside the Cluster

Applications running inside the cluster can access the TimesTen Operator at timesten-operator.namespace.svc.cluster.local:8080 where namespace is the name of your namespace.

The metrics endpoint by default uses https, secured with a self-signed certificate created by the TimesTen Operator. Applications running inside the cluster can get the appropriate certificate to allow them to access the endpoint by mounting the Kubernetes Secret called timesten-operator-metrics-client. The TimesTen Operator automatically creates this Secret.

The Secret contains the following entries:

• ca.crt : Adds the TimesTen Operator's certificate to the list of certificates that the application accepts (or trusts).

• client.crt: Contains a client certificate that the TimesTen Operator trusts.

• client.key: Contains the private key for the client certificate.

To access the Connection Manager API, applications must authenticate to the TimesTen Operator using this information.
