6.6. Deploying a Keylime server by using RHEL system roles

Procedure

1. Create a playbook that defines the required role:

   1. Create a new YAML file and open it in a text editor, for example:

      # vi keylime-playbook.yml

   2. Insert the following content:

      ---
      - name: Manage keylime servers
        hosts: all
        vars:
          keylime_server_verifier_ip: "{{ ansible_host }}"
          keylime_server_registrar_ip: "{{ ansible_host }}"
          keylime_server_verifier_tls_dir: <ver_tls_directory>
          keylime_server_verifier_server_cert: <ver_server_certfile>
          keylime_server_verifier_server_key: <ver_server_key>
          keylime_server_verifier_server_key_passphrase: <ver_server_key_passphrase>
          keylime_server_verifier_trusted_client_ca: <ver_trusted_client_ca_list>
          keylime_server_verifier_client_cert: <ver_client_certfile>
          keylime_server_verifier_client_key: <ver_client_key>
          keylime_server_verifier_client_key_passphrase: <ver_client_key_passphrase>
          keylime_server_verifier_trusted_server_ca: <ver_trusted_server_ca_list>
          keylime_server_registrar_tls_dir: <reg_tls_directory>
          keylime_server_registrar_server_cert: <reg_server_certfile>
          keylime_server_registrar_server_key: <reg_server_key>
          keylime_server_registrar_server_key_passphrase: <reg_server_key_passphrase>
          keylime_server_registrar_trusted_client_ca: <reg_trusted_client_ca_list>
        roles:
          - rhel-system-roles.keylime_server

      You can find out more about the variables in Variables for the keylime_server RHEL system role.

2. Run the playbook:

   $ ansible-playbook <keylime-playbook.yml>

Verification

1. Check that the keylime_verifier service is active and running on the managed host:

   # systemctl status keylime_verifier
   ● keylime_verifier.service - The Keylime verifier
        Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/keylime_verifier.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
        Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-11-09 10:10:08 EST; 1min 45s ago

2. Check that the keylime_registrar service is active and running:

   # systemctl status keylime_registrar
   ● keylime_registrar.service - The Keylime registrar service
        Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/keylime_registrar.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
        Active: active (running) since Wed 2022-11-09 10:10:17 EST; 1min 42s ago
