- The requested name did not match the set of authorized names (`x509.HostnameError`)
  - The error surfaced after attempting a connection contained one of the substrings: "certificate is not trusted" or "certificate signed by unknown authority". ([#120736](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/120736), [@MadhavJivrajani](https://github.com/MadhavJivrajani))

- Addressed an issue where a JWT authenticator set up via `--authentication-config` would encounter failures in verifying tokens not signed with RS256. ([#123282](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/123282), [@enj](https://github.com/enj))

- kube-apiserver: `--service-account-max-token-expiration` can now be used in combination with an external token signer `--service-account-signing-endpoint`, as long as the `--service-account-max-token-expiration` is not longer than the external token signer's max expiration.

- kube-controller-manager currently needs a writable `--cert-dir` (default is `/var/run/kubernetes`) for generating self-signed certificates, when no `--tls-cert-file` or `--tls-private-key-file` are provided.

- Kubeadm: during execution of the "check expiration" command, treat the etcd CA as external if there is a missing etcd CA key file (etcd/ca.key) and perform the proper validation on certificates signed by the etcd CA. Additionally, make sure that the CA for all entries in the output table is included - for both certificates on disk and in kubeconfig files.
