Environment
VMware NSX-T Data Center
Cause
This issue was due to a new feature added to NCP. The original purpose was to support updating secret so we started tracking secret version number and attach it to cert as a tag.
Before upgrade, the cert had no secret version tag. After upgrade NCP compares current secret version against None, so it did not pass the version check, which is why NCP was considering this cert as stale and removing it.
Under normal circumstance, if it were an actual secret update, it would have re-imported the new certificate. However in this case there was no change in secret, so the cert was just deleted. In Policy it would have no impact.
