Red Hat SummitChapter 8. Using Fernet keys for encryption in the overcloud
Fernet is the default token provider, that replaces uuid. You can review your Fernet deployment and test that tokens are working correctly. Fernet uses three types of keys, which are stored in /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/fernet-keys. The highest-numbered directory contains the primary key, which generates new tokens and decrypts existing tokens.
8.1. Rotating fernet keys
You can rotate fernet keys for security compliance purposes. Use the rotate-fernet-keys.yaml ansible playbook to complete this task.
Procedure
Run the
rotate-fernet-keys.yamlplaybook:ansible-playbook \ -i config-download/overcloud/tripleo-ansible-inventory.yaml \ /usr/share/ansible/tripleo-playbooks/rotate-fernet-keys.yaml
8.2. Reviewing the Fernet deployment
To test that Fernet tokens are working correctly, retrieve the IP address of the Controller node, SSH into the Controller node, and review the settings of the token driver and provider.
Procedure
Retrieve the IP address of the Controller node:
[stack@director ~]$ source ~/stackrc [stack@director ~]$ openstack server list
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | ID | Name | Status | Networks |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | 756fbd73-e47b-46e6-959c-e24d7fb71328 | overcloud-controller-0 | ACTIVE | ctlplane=192.0.2.16 | | 62b869df-1203-4d58-8e45-fac6cd4cfbee | overcloud-novacompute-0 | ACTIVE | ctlplane=192.0.2.8 |--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+SSH into the Controller node:
[tripleo-admin@overcloud-controller-0 ~]$ ssh tripleo-admin@192.0.2.16
Retrieve the values of the token driver and provider settings:
[tripleo-admin@overcloud-controller-0 ~]$ sudo crudini --get /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf token driver sql [tripleo-admin@overcloud-controller-0 ~]$ sudo crudini --get /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf token provider fernet
Test the Fernet provider:
[tripleo-admin@overcloud-controller-0 ~]$ exit [stack@director ~]$ source ~/overcloudrc [stack@director ~]$ openstack token issue
