I am trying to set up a cluster with Istio on it, where the SSL traffic gets terminated at the Ingress. I have deployed Istio with SDS and Mutual TLS. With the below yaml, I only get the error message upstream connect error or disconnect/reset before headers. reset reason: connection failure when accessing my cluster in the browser:

apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: Gateway
metadata:
  name: default-gateway
  namespace: istio-system
spec:
  selector:
    istio: ingressgateway
  servers:
  - hosts:
    - '*'
    port:
      name: http
      number: 80
      protocol: HTTP
---
apiVersion: v1
kind: Pod
metadata:
  creationTimestamp: null
  labels:
    run: nginx1
  name: nginx1
spec:
  containers:
  - image: nginx
    name: nginx
    resources: {}
    ports:
    - containerPort: 80
  dnsPolicy: ClusterFirst
  restartPolicy: Never
status: {}

apiVersion: v1
kind: Service
metadata:
  labels:
    run: nginx1
  name: nginx1

  ports:

    protocol: TCP
    targetPort: 80
  selector:
    run: nginx1
  sessionAffinity: None
  type: ClusterIP
status:
  loadBalancer: {}
---
apiVersion: networking.istio.io/v1alpha3
kind: VirtualService
metadata:
  name: nginx1
spec:
  hosts:
  - "*"
  gateways:
  - istio-system/default-gateway
  http:
  - match:
    - uri:
        prefix: /nginx1
    route:
    - destination:
        port:
          number: 80
        host: nginx1.default.svc.cluster.local

The ingressgateway logs show the following TLS error:

Reading though this blog I thought I might need to add

  - hosts:
    - '*'
    port:
      name: https
      number: 443
      protocol: HTTPS
    tls:
      mode: SIMPLE
      serverCertificate: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.crt
      privateKey: /etc/istio/ingressgateway-certs/tls.key

to the ingressgateway configuration. However, this did not solve the problem. Additionally, since I am using SDS, there won't be any certificates in ingressgateway-certs (see https://istio.io/docs/tasks/security/auth-sds/#verifying-no-secret-volume-mounted-file-is-generated) as it is described in https://istio.io/docs/tasks/traffic-management/ingress/secure-ingress-mount/

Can anyone point me to a correct configuration? Most of what I find online is referring to the "old" filemount approach...

The issue has been resolved by not using istio-cni. See https://github.com/istio/istio/issues/15701

You may have to specify the minimum or maximum TLS version. The options are documented here, under minProtocolVersion and maxProtocolVersion:

https://istio.io/docs/reference/config/networking/v1alpha3/gateway/#Server-TLSOptions

Under the hood, these values map to the following Envoy parameters:
