OCPBUGS-95594: make cloud provider fields optional during operator install

[savio87]

Summary

On Workload Identity / Federated Identity clusters (AWS STS, Azure WI, GCP WI), the Console UI incorrectly forces users to provide cloud-specific credentials (role ARN, Client ID, etc.) before installing operators that have token-auth-* CSV annotations. These annotations indicate the operator's capability to support cloud authentication, not a mandatory requirement.

This fix makes the cloud provider configuration fields optional so users can install operators first and configure cloud credentials as a Day-2 task.

Changes

• Removed required attribute and co-required CSS class from the token-auth input fields
• Removed the token-auth validation checks from formValid() that blocked the install button when fields were empty

The fields and warning banners still appear when applicable -- they just no longer block installation.

Test plan

• Install an operator with token-auth-aws annotation on an AWS STS cluster without filling in the role ARN -- should succeed
• Install an operator with token-auth-gcp annotation on a GCP WI cluster without filling in GCP fields -- should succeed
• Install an operator with token-auth-azure annotation on an Azure WI cluster without filling in Azure fields -- should succeed
• Verify the warning banners and input fields still render correctly
• Verify filling in the fields still works and values are passed to the subscription

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Updated subscription form validation so optional AWS, Azure, and GCP authentication fields no longer incorrectly block submission.
  • Authentication settings now include only values that have been entered, preventing empty configuration fields from being submitted.
  • Removed misleading required-field indicators from authentication inputs.

Walkthrough

The subscription form no longer marks authentication inputs as required or validates them as non-empty. Subscription configuration excludes empty authentication values. Namespace, installation-mode, resolution, and API-conflict validation remains unchanged.

Changes

Subscription authentication

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Optional authentication flow frontend/packages/operator-lifecycle-manager/src/components/operator-hub/operator-hub-subscribe.tsx	The form removes required styling and input validation for AWS, Azure, and GCP authentication fields. Configuration includes only non-empty authentication values and sets spec.config only when values exist. Other subscription validation remains active.

Hi, this fixes an issue where the Console UI forces users to provide cloud-specific credentials (AWS role ARN, Azure Client ID, GCP Project Number, etc.) during operator installation on Workload Identity clusters. The token-auth-* CSV annotations indicate capability, not a mandatory requirement, so these fields should be optional.

Two customer cases are linked to the Jira issue. The CLI does not enforce these fields, so this also aligns Console behavior with CLI.

Could a maintainer please set the target version on OCPBUGS-95594 and run /ok-to-test? Thank you!

[ericahinkleRH]

@savio87 Great fix — the approach is clean and minimal. A couple suggestions to consider before merge:

1. Submission Payload — Empty String Handling

Can you verify that leaving the cloud credential fields blank doesn't result in empty strings being written into the Subscription or OperatorGroup CR? For example, if the form submission unconditionally pushes values like roleARN: "" into the resource spec, that could cause unexpected behavior downstream — an empty string is not the same as an omitted field. If the submission logic doesn't already guard against this, a simple check (e.g., only appending the value if it's non-empty) would be needed.

2. Test Coverage

Are there existing unit tests (Jest/RTL) or Cypress tests for the operator install flow that assert on these fields? If so, they'd need updating. Even if not, adding at least one test case confirming that installation succeeds with empty cloud provider fields on a CSV with token-auth-* annotations would help prevent future regressions where someone re-adds the mandatory validation. This could also land as a follow-up.

Overall the change is correct and well-scoped — these are just hardening suggestions. Thanks for the contribution!

Thanks for the review @ericahinkleRH!

1. Empty String Handling — Good catch. I've updated the submission logic to filter out env vars with empty values before setting them on the Subscription CR. If all fields are left blank, no config is set at all. This avoids writing roleARN: "" or similar empty strings into the resource spec. I also verified that the cloud credential env vars are only written to the Subscription CR (spec.config.env), not the OperatorGroup CR. The OperatorGroup only receives basic metadata (generateName, namespace). So the empty-string guard covers the only path where these values are used.

2. Test Coverage — There are no existing unit tests for this component. Happy to add test coverage as a follow-up if you'd prefer that.
