Chapter 4. Configuring encryption


Configure encryption for your Data Grid.

4.1. Enabling TLS encryption

Encryption can be independently enabled for endpoint and cluster transport.

Prerequisites

  • A secret containing a certificate or a keystore. Endpoint and cluster should use different secrets.
  • A credentials keystore containing any password needed to access the keystore. See Adding credentials keystore.

Procedure

  1. Set the secret name in the deploy configuration.

    Provide the name of the secret containing the keystore:

    deploy:
      ssl:
        endpointSecretName: "tls-secret"
        transportSecretName: "tls-transport-secret"
  2. Enable cluster transport TLS.

    deploy:
      infinispan:
        cacheContainer:
          transport:
             urn:infinispan:server:15.0:securityRealm: >
              "cluster-transport" 1
        server:
          security:
            securityRealms:
              - name: cluster-transport
                serverIdentities:
                  ssl:
                    keystore: 2
                      alias: "server"
                      path: "/etc/encrypt/transport/cert.p12"
                      credentialReference: 3
                        store: credentials
                        alias: keystore
                    truststore: 4
                      path: "/etc/encrypt/transport/cert.p12"
                      credentialReference: 5
                        store: credentials
                        alias: truststore
    1
    Configures the transport stack to use the specified security-realm to provide cluster encryption.
    2
    Configure the keystore path in the transport realm. The secret is mounted at /etc/encrypt/transport.
    3 5
    Configures the truststore with the same keystore allowing the nodes to authenticate each other.
    4
    Alias and password must be provided in case the secret contains a keystore.
  3. Enable endpoint TLS.

    deploy:
      infinispan:
        server:
          security:
            securityRealms:
              - name: default
                serverIdentities:
                  ssl:
                    keystore:
                      path: "/etc/encrypt/endpoint/keystore.p12" 1
                      alias: "server" 2
                      credentialReference:
                        store: credentials 3
                        alias: keystore 4
    1
    Configure the keystore path in the endpoint realm; secret is mounted at /etc/encrypt/endpoint.
    2
    Alias must be provided in case the secret contains a keystore.
    3 4
    Any password must be provided with via credentials keystore.
