Connection Manager

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Please Note:

Google Cloud Platform (GCP)

Google Cloud Platform (GCP) connection to the CipherTrust Manager can be configured using the following:

Warning

Thales strongly discourages creating a Google connection using a service account key file that grants permission to root of trust keys.

Managing Google Connections using GUI

  • Key File - upload the key file (a JSON file) that you have got from the GCP console while creating the service account.

  • Cloud Name - select the Google from the drop-down list.

Click the Test Credentials button to check whether the connection is configured correctly. If the test is successful, the status is OK else the status is Fail.

Click Next to move to the Add Products screen of the Add Connection wizard.

Note

Currently, the only product supported for Google connection is Cloud Key Manager.

Note

Service account keys are private keys that let you authenticate as a service account. To rotate a service account key, refer to Service Account Key Rotation.

Managing Google Connections using ksctl

The following operations can be performed:

  • Create/Get/Update/Delete a GCP connection

  • List all GCP connections

  • Test an existing GCP connection

  • Test a New GCP Connection

Creating a GCP Connection

To create a GCP connection, run:

Syntax


ksctl connectionmgmt gcp create --name <Connection-Name> --key-file <Key-File-Path> --cloudname <Cloud-Name> --products <Product-Names> --meta <Key:Values>

Service Account Key Rotation

Rotating service account keys can help reduce the risk posed by leaked or stolen keys. To rotate the service account keys, perform the following steps:

On GCP

  1. Identify the service account key that needs to be rotated.

  2. Create a new key for the same service account handling the connection between CipherTrust Manager and GCP.

    At this stage, the GCP cloud contains two keys: the new and the old one.

On the CipherTrust Manager

  1. Replace the existing (old) service account key with the new key in the GCP connection manager. To do so, either go to GUI and upload the new "Key File" or use ksctl to modify the key-file parameter value.

  2. Test the connection. The state of the connection should be "Ready".

  3. Refresh the key rings.

On GCP

  1. Disable the replaced key.

    After disabling the key, verify that CCKM works as expected.

  2. Delete the service account key that was replaced.
