I found another temporary workaround:

Do the following on each master:

1. Create a Dockerfile containing:
   2.1.0.3 is image tag 1.0.0 and 2.1.0.2 is image tag 2.1.0.2

FROM ibmcom/icp-identity-manager:1.0.0

RUN echo '{ "certificate_limit": 2500 }' > /opt/ibm/identity-mgmt/config/identity_prop.json && cat /opt/ibm/identity-mgmt/config/identity_prop.json

2. Build a new image:

docker build -t ibmcom/icp-identity-manager:1.0.0-cert-fix .

After the image is created on the masters, edit the daemonset and change the Image tag value:

kubectl -n kube-system edit daemonset auth-idp

The pods will restart and run the new image with an increased cert limit.
