Fix Recommendation

Edit the Kubernetes API Server manifest file in the /etc/kubernetes/manifests directory on the Kubernetes Master Node. Set the value of tls-cert-file and tls-private-key-file to path containing Approved Organizational Certificate.

Check Contents

Change to the /etc/kubernetes/manifests/ directory on the Kubernetes Master Node. Run the command:

grep -i tls-cert-file *
grep -i tls-private-key-file *

If the setting tls-cert-file and private-key-file is not set in the Kubernetes API server manifest file or contains no value, this is a finding.
