Symptoms

The system is unable to correctly display the status of the Authorization proxy, resulting in a failed state when pods are successful.

Cause

Part of the status check logic was looking for a daemonset status, but the auth proxy does not have a daemonset, so the check would fail.

Resolution

Resolution:
                Engineering is providing a fix to the status calculation logic in the CSM-Operator v1.4.2 release.
