Chapter 5. Enabling disk encryption

Procedure

1. Optional: Using the web console, in the Cluster details step of the user interface wizard, choose to enable TPM v2 encryption on either the control plane nodes, workers, or both.

2. Optional: Using the API, follow the "Modifying hosts" procedure. Set the disk_encryption.enable_on setting to all, masters, or workers. Set the disk_encryption.mode setting to tpmv2.

   1. Refresh the API token:

      $ source refresh-token

   2. Enable TPM v2 encryption:

      $ curl https://api.openshift.com/api/assisted-install/v2/clusters/${CLUSTER_ID} \
      -X PATCH \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '
      {
        "disk_encryption": {
          "enable_on": "none",
          "mode": "tpmv2"
        }
      }
      ' | jq

      Valid settings for enable_on are all, master, worker, or none.

Procedure

1. Set up a Tang server or access an existing one. See Network-bound disk encryption for instructions. You can set multiple Tang servers, but the Assisted Installer must be able to connect to all of them during installation.

2. On the Tang server, retrieve the thumbprint for the Tang server using tang-show-keys:

   $ tang-show-keys <port>

   Optional: Replace <port> with the port number. The default port number is 80.

   Example thumbprint

   1gYTN_LpU9ZMB35yn5IbADY5OQ0

3. Optional: Retrieve the thumbprint for the Tang server using jose.

   1. Ensure jose is installed on the Tang server:

      $ sudo dnf install jose

   2. On the Tang server, retrieve the thumbprint using jose:

      $ sudo jose jwk thp -i /var/db/tang/<public_key>.jwk

      Replace <public_key> with the public exchange key for the Tang server.

      Example thumbprint

      1gYTN_LpU9ZMB35yn5IbADY5OQ0

4. Optional: In the Cluster details step of the user interface wizard, choose to enable Tang encryption on either the control plane nodes, workers, or both. You will be required to enter URLs and thumbprints for the Tang servers.

5. Optional: Using the API, follow the "Modifying hosts" procedure.

   1. Refresh the API token:

      $ source refresh-token

   2. Set the disk_encryption.enable_on setting to all, masters, or workers. Set the disk_encryption.mode setting to tang. Set disk_encyrption.tang_servers to provide the URL and thumbprint details about one or more Tang servers:

      $ curl https://api.openshift.com/api/assisted-install/v2/clusters/${CLUSTER_ID} \
      -X PATCH \
      -H "Authorization: Bearer ${API_TOKEN}" \
      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
      -d '
      {
        "disk_encryption": {
          "enable_on": "all",
          "mode": "tang",
          "tang_servers": "[{\"url\":\"http://tang.example.com:7500\",\"thumbprint\":\"PLjNyRdGw03zlRoGjQYMahSZGu9\"},{\"url\":\"http://tang2.example.com:7500\",\"thumbprint\":\"XYjNyRdGw03zlRoGjQYMahSZGu3\"}]"
        }
      }
      ' | jq

      Valid settings for enable_on are all, master, worker, or none. Within the tang_servers value, comment out the quotes within the object(s).
