Chapter 5. Changing the default account credentials to ensure better security in the Multicloud Object Gateway

Procedure

1. Get the account name.

   For listing the accounts, run the following command:

   $ noobaa account list

   Example output:

   NAME           ALLOWED_BUCKETS   DEFAULT_RESOURCE               PHASE   AGE
   account-test   [*]               noobaa-default-backing-store   Ready   14m17s
   test2          [first.bucket]    noobaa-default-backing-store   Ready   3m12s

   Alternatively, run the oc get noobaaaccount command from the terminal:

   $ oc get noobaaaccount

   Example output:

   NAME           PHASE   AGE
   account-test   Ready   15m
   test2          Ready   3m59s

2. To regenerate the noobaa account S3 credentials, run the following command:

   $ noobaa account regenerate <noobaa_account_name> [options]

   $ noobaa account regenerate
   FATA[0000] ❌ Missing expected arguments: <noobaa-account-name>
   
   Usage:
       noobaa account regenerate <noobaa-account-name> [flags] [options]
   
   Use "noobaa options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).

3. Once you run the noobaa account regenerate command it will prompt a warning that says "This will invalidate all connections between S3 clients and NooBaa which are connected using the current credentials.", and ask for confirmation:

   Example:

   $ noobaa account regenerate account-test

   Example output:

   INFO[0000] You are about to regenerate an account's security credentials.
   INFO[0000] This will invalidate all connections between S3 clients and NooBaa which are connected using the current credentials.
   INFO[0000] are you sure? y/n

4. On approving, it will regenerate the credentials and eventually print them:

   INFO[0015] ✅ Exists: Secret "noobaa-account-account-test"
   Connection info:
   AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID      : ***
   AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY  : ***

Procedure

1. To get the OBC name, run the following command:

   $ noobaa obc list

   Example output:

   NAMESPACE   NAME       BUCKET-NAME                                     STORAGE-CLASS       BUCKET-CLASS                  PHASE
   default     obc-test   obc-test-35800e50-8978-461f-b7e0-7793080e26ba   default.noobaa.io   noobaa-default-bucket-class   Bound

   Alternatively, run the oc get obc command from the terminal:

   $ oc get obc

   Example output:

   NAME       STORAGE-CLASS       PHASE   AGE
   obc-test   default.noobaa.io   Bound   38s

2. To regenerate the noobaa OBC S3 credentials, run the following command:

   $ noobaa obc regenerate <bucket_claim_name> [options]

   $ noobaa obc regenerate
   FATA[0000] ❌ Missing expected arguments: <bucket-claim-name>
   
   Usage:
      noobaa obc regenerate <bucket-claim-name> [flags] [options]
   
   Use "noobaa options" for a list of global command-line options (applies to all commands).

3. Once you run the noobaa obc regenerate command it will prompt a warning that says "This will invalidate all connections between the S3 clients and noobaa which are connected using the current credentials.", and ask for confirmation:

   Example:

   $ noobaa obc regenerate obc-test

   Example output:

   INFO[0000] You are about to regenerate an OBC's security credentials.
   INFO[0000] This will invalidate all connections between S3 clients and NooBaa which are connected using the current credentials.
   INFO[0000] are you sure? y/n

4. On approving, it will regenerate the credentials and eventually print them:

   INFO[0022] ✅ RPC: bucket.read_bucket() Response OK: took 95.4ms
   
   ObjectBucketClaim info:
