- **Focus**:
  1. Authentication and authorization mechanisms.
  1. Interaction between security components and Istio control plane.
  1. Validation of mutual TLS (mTLS) configurations.
  1. Testing of JWT token validation and RBAC policies.
  1. Validation of certificate management and rotation.
- **Setup**: The main test setup in this folder initializes the Istio control plane with security configurations.

## Adding a New Integration Test

    - [RBAC](https://docs.projectcalico.org/v3.2/getting-started/kubernetes/installation/rbac.yaml) - this creates the service account the CNI plugin is configured to use to access the kube-api-server...

This is fairly straightforward.

First, we need to check that this traffic is allowed.
Traffic may be denied by RBAC policies (especially from a `STRICT` mode enforcement, which denies plaintext traffic).

If it is allowed, we will forward to the target destination.

#### Hairpin

  Similarly you can also access  kubelet's `/pods` endpoint to fetch a list of Pods bound to that node by granting the caller `nodes/pods` permission in RBAC.
  Similarly you can also access kubelet's `/configz` endpoint to fetch kubelet's configuration by granting the caller `nodes/configz` permission in RBAC.

 - `kubeadm`: a separate "super-admin.conf" file is now deployed. The User in `admin.conf` is now bound to a new RBAC Group `kubeadm:cluster-admins` that has `cluster-admin` `ClusterRole` access. The User in `super-admin.conf` is now bound to the `system:masters` built-in super-powers / break-glass Group that can bypass RBAC. Before this change, the default `admin.conf` was bound to `system:masters` Group, which was undesired. Executing `kubeadm init phase kubeconfig...

- Kubeadm: avoided uploading a defaulted flag value "--authorization-mode=Node,RBAC" for the kube-apiserver in the ClusterConfiguration stored in the "kube-system/kubeadm-config" ConfigMap. "Node,RBAC" are already the kubeadm defaults for this flag, so this action is redundant. ([#123555](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123555), [@neolit123](https://github.com/neolit123))
