2.3. Configuring access


RHACS provides the roxctl command-line interface (CLI) to make it easy to integrate RHACS policies into your build pipeline. The roxctl CLI prints detailed information about problems and how to fix them so that developers can maintain high standards in the early phases of the container lifecycle.

To securely authenticate to the Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes API server, you must create an API token.

2.3.1. Exporting and saving the API token

Procedure

  1. After you have generated the authentication token, export it as the ROX_API_TOKEN variable by entering the following command:

    $ export ROX_API_TOKEN=<api_token>
  2. (Optional): You can also save the token in a file and use it with the --token-file option by entering the following command:

    $ roxctl central debug dump --token-file <token_file>

    Note the following guidelines:

    • You cannot use both the -password (-p) and the --token-file options simultaneously.
    • If you have already set the ROX_API_TOKEN variable, and specify the --token-file option, the roxctl CLI uses the specified token file for authentication.
    • If you have already set the ROX_API_TOKEN variable, and specify the --password option, the roxctl CLI uses the specified password for authentication.

2.3.2. Installing the roxctl CLI by downloading the binary

You can install the roxctl CLI to interact with Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security for Kubernetes from a command-line interface. You can install roxctl on Linux, Windows, or macOS.

2.3.2.1. Installing the roxctl CLI on Linux

You can install the roxctl CLI binary on Linux by using the following procedure.

참고

roxctl CLI for Linux is available for amd64, arm64, ppc64le, and s390x architectures.

Procedure

  1. Determine the roxctl architecture for the target operating system:

    $ arch="$(uname -m | sed "s/x86_64//")"; arch="${arch:+-$arch}"
  2. Download the roxctl CLI:

    $ curl -L -f -o roxctl "https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/assets/4.7.8/bin/Linux/roxctl${arch}"
  3. Make the roxctl binary executable:

    $ chmod +x roxctl
  4. Place the roxctl binary in a directory that is on your PATH:

    To check your PATH, execute the following command:

    $ echo $PATH

Verification

  • Verify the roxctl version you have installed:

    $ roxctl version

2.3.2.2. Installing the roxctl CLI on macOS

You can install the roxctl CLI binary on macOS by using the following procedure.

참고

roxctl CLI for macOS is available for amd64 and arm64 architectures.

Procedure

  1. Determine the roxctl architecture for the target operating system:

    $ arch="$(uname -m | sed "s/x86_64//")"; arch="${arch:+-$arch}"
  2. Download the roxctl CLI:

    $ curl -L -f -o roxctl "https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/assets/4.7.8/bin/Darwin/roxctl${arch}"
  3. Remove all extended attributes from the binary:

    $ xattr -c roxctl
  4. Make the roxctl binary executable:

    $ chmod +x roxctl
  5. Place the roxctl binary in a directory that is on your PATH:

    To check your PATH, execute the following command:

    $ echo $PATH

Verification

  • Verify the roxctl version you have installed:

    $ roxctl version

2.3.2.3. Installing the roxctl CLI on Windows

You can install the roxctl CLI binary on Windows by using the following procedure.

참고

roxctl CLI for Windows is available for the amd64 architecture.

Procedure

  • Download the roxctl CLI:

    $ curl -f -O https://mirror.openshift.com/pub/rhacs/assets/4.7.8/bin/Windows/roxctl.exe

Verification

  • Verify the roxctl version you have installed:

    $ roxctl version

2.3.3. Running the roxctl CLI from a container

The roxctl client is the default entry point in the RHACS roxctl image. To run the roxctl client in a container image:

Prerequisites

  • You must first generate an authentication token from the RHACS portal.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the registry.redhat.io registry.

    $ docker login registry.redhat.io
  2. Pull the latest container image for the roxctl CLI.

    $ docker pull registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-roxctl-rhel8:4.7.8

    After you install the CLI, you can run it by using the following command:

$ docker run -e ROX_API_TOKEN=$ROX_API_TOKEN \
  -it registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-roxctl-rhel8:{rhacs-version} \
  -e $ROX_CENTRAL_ADDRESS <command>
참고

In Red Hat Advanced Cluster Security Cloud Service (RHACS Cloud Service), when using roxctl commands that require the Central address, use the Central instance address as displayed in the Instance Details section of the Red Hat Hybrid Cloud Console. For example, use acs-ABCD12345.acs.rhcloud.com instead of acs-data-ABCD12345.acs.rhcloud.com.

Verification

  • Verify the roxctl version you have installed.

    $ docker run -it registry.redhat.io/advanced-cluster-security/rhacs-roxctl-rhel8:4.7.8 version
