podman logs -f ccc

Log on to both the Linux machines that you intend to use for CCC installation.

There should be full network connectivity between these machines. During installation, you will be using one of the machines as the Master node and the other one as the Worker node. Depending on your requirements, you can have more than one Master node and Worker node.

Set up Kubernetes Cluster on the Master node as well as the Worker node, using the steps explained here. Kubernetes enables you to install CCC and all its dependencies in a cluster of containers that run on virtualized host OS.

Set up and initialize a Luna HSM partition. This partition will be used to create a CCC root of trust (ROT). You'll be required to provide the partition-related details while modifying the configuration settings in a later step.

In case you want to use an HA ROT, you need to set up and initialize two partitions that have the same domain. You'll be required to provide the details related to these partitions while modifying the configuration settings in a later step.

Download and extract the CCC package on the Master node as well as the Worker node.

Extract the Crypto Command Center package inside your home directory.

Create a directory named ccc-certs on all the Worker nodes:

mkdir -p /home/ccc/ccc-certs

Copy the CCC license file and paste it inside the ccc-certs directory under the CCC package.

You have the option to upload the license file later, after logging in to CCC. You can do so by accessing the Administration tab from the menu bar at the top, followed by selecting the Licenses option from the navigation pane on the left, and then clicking the Upload button.

If you are using a CA-signed certificate:
a. Create a PKCS#12 or JKS certificate.
b. Copy the certificate and paste it inside the ccc-certs directory.
c. Provide the following CA-signed certificate related details while updating the environment file in a later step:
- CA_CERTIFICATE
- CA_CERTIFICATE_FILE_NAME
- CA_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD
- CA_CERTIFICATE_ALIAS

Check your container runtime environment on the Worker node by executing the following command:

crictl config --get image-endpoint

Navigate to the Crypto Command Center package on your Worker node and select one of the following methods to import the CCC image, based on the output of the previous step:

Method 1 (for containered): If the output you received was unix:///run/containerd/containerd.sock, it indicates that your Worker node is using containerd as the container runtime. In this case, you can import the CCC images by using the following command:

ctr -n=k8s.io images import ccc-4.1.0.tar

Method 2 (for CRI-O): If the output you received was unix:///var/run/crio/crio.sock, it indicates that your Worker node is using CRI-O as the container runtime. To import the images in this case, you'll first need to install Podman on your Worker node and then execute the following command:

podman load -i ccc-4.1.0.tar

After successfully importing the images using Method 2, open the CCC package on your Master node and access the kubernetes directory. Within the kubernetes directory, open the deployment.yaml file, navigate to the section that defines containers, and update the image value from ccc:4.1.0 to localhost/ccc:4.1.0. This action ensures that your Kubernetes deployment uses the desired image.

Run the following command on the Worker node to list all the images:

crictl images

Go the the ccc directory in the Master node and open the kubernetes sub-directory.

Create secrets by running the following command:

kubectl create secret generic ccc-password \
--from-literal=CCC_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_CREDENTIALSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=HSM_PASSWORD1='password' \
--from-literal=CRYPTO_OFFICER_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=HSM_PASSWORD2='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_ADMIN_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CA_CERTIFICATE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_DB_PASSWORD='password'

Modify the configuration settings on the Master node as per your requirements:

vi config-map.yaml  

When updating a key's value, remember to separate the key and value with a colon (:) and include a space. For example, use "key: value" instead of "key:value".

If you want to use an external database, you need to provide the required details while modifying the configuration settings.

If you want to use an HA ROT, you need to follow the cloning protocol and ensure that:
(i) ROT_HA_ENABLE is set to Y
(ii) IP address for the second device is specified under HSM_IP2
(iii) Password for the second device is specified under HSM_PASSWORD2
(iv) Both the partitions have the same PARTITION_LABEL
(v) Both the partitions have the same CRYPTO_OFFICER_PASSWORD
(vi) Both the partitions have the same domain
(vi) Partition on the second device is specified under PARTITION_NAME2
(vii) REMEMBER_CREDENTIAL is set to Y

Ensure that you've specified the name of the CCC license file under CCC_LICENSE_FILE_NAME.

If you have mapped HSM_IP1 or HSM_IP2 with the hostname/DNS, then in the deployment.yaml file, please update the hostAliases section with the corresponding hostname/DNS, making sure to use lowercase letters for the hostname:
hostAliases:
- ip: "IP address of HSM1"
hostnames:
- "hostname/DNS of HSM1"
- ip: "IP address of HSM2"
hostnames:
- "hostname/DNS of HSM2"

Edit the deployment.yaml file on the Master node if you are using LDAPS:

vi deployment.yaml

If you are an LDAPS user, follow these steps to configure LDAPS for CCC:
Additional Steps for LDAPS Users.

Launch CCC:

sh launch.sh

Check whether CCC installation is successful by verifying the output of the following command:

sudo kubectl get all -o wide

Launch CCC on any of the nodes using one of the following URLs, depending on whether the machine is identified by an IP address or hostname:

• https://host_ip:30036
  

• https://hostname:30036

Log on to CCC as an admin user. If you are logging in for the first time, use the following credentials:

• Username: admin

• Password: PASSWORD

Change the password. You can now start exploring various functions and features of CCC.

If the Administrator requires that you use two-factor authentication, you are prompted to configure a one-time password (OTP). Using a two-factor authentication application on a mobile device, scan the displayed QR code or manually type in the displayed secret key, excluding spaces. Add your account. A 6-digit OTP code is generated. Enter this code in the login page, excluding spaces. You are prompted to change the password in case you are a local user.

If the CCC Administrator edits the credentials of a user that has two-factor authentication enabled, the user needs to re-enroll in the two-factor authentication process.

The clock for your two-factor authentication application must be synchronized within 2 seconds of the clock for CCC. Otherwise the OTP code will be rejected due to a validation error.

If you want to use HA configuration, you need to use an external database.

If you want to use HA configuration, run the following command to specify the number of replicas:
kubectl scale --replicas=2 deployment ccc-deployment

Log on to both the Linux machines that you intend to use for CCC installation.

There should be full network connectivity between these machines. During installation, you will be using one of the machines as the Master node and the other one as the Worker node. Depending on your requirements, you can have more than one Master node and Worker node.

Set up Kubernetes Cluster on the Master node as well as the Worker node, using the steps explained here. Kubernetes enables you to install CCC and all its dependencies in a cluster of containers that run on virtualized host OS.

Install Helm on Master node.

Set up and initialize a Luna HSM partition. This partition will be used to create a CCC root of trust (ROT). You'll be required to provide the partition-related details while modifying the configuration settings in a later step.

In case you want to use an HA ROT, you need to set up and initialize two partitions that have the same domain. You'll be required to provide the details related to these partitions while modifying the configuration settings in a later step.

podman load -i ccc-4.1.0.tar

After successfully importing the images using Method 2, open the CCC package on your Master node and access the helm directory. Within the helm directory, open the deployment.yaml file located in the templates subdirectory. In the deployment.yaml file, navigate to the section that defines containers and update the image value from ccc:4.1.0 to localhost/ccc:4.1.0. This action ensures that your Helm deployment uses the desired image.

Run the following command on the Worker node to list all the images:

crictl images

Go the the ccc directory in the Master node and open the helm sub-directory.

Create secrets by running the following command:

kubectl create secret generic ccc-password \
--from-literal=CCC_TRUSTSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_KEYSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
--from-literal=CCC_CREDENTIALSTORE_PASSWORD='password' \
