6.4. Deploying Keylime registrar from a package

Procedure

1. Install the Keylime registrar:

   # dnf install keylime-registrar

2. Define the IP address and port of the registrar by creating a new .conf file in the /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/ directory, for example, /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/00-registrar-ip.conf, with the following content:

   [registrar]
   ip = <registrar_IP_address>

   • Replace <registrar_IP_address> with the registrar’s IP address. Alternatively, use ip = * or ip = 0.0.0.0 to bind the registrar to all available IP addresses.
   • Optionally, change the port to which the Keylime agents connect by using the port option. The default value is 8890.
   • Optionally, change the TLS port to which the Keylime verifier and tenant connect by using the tls_port option. The default value is 8891.

3. Optional: Configure the registrar’s database for the list of agents. The default configuration uses an SQLite database in the registrar’s /var/lib/keylime/reg_data.sqlite directory. You can create a new .conf file in the /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/ directory, for example, /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/00-db-url.conf, with the following content:

   [registrar]
   database_url = <protocol>://<name>:<password>@<ip_address_or_hostname>/<properties>

   Replace <protocol>://<name>:<password>@<ip_address_or_hostname>/<properties> with the URL of the database, for example, postgresql://registrar:EKYYX-bqY2?#raXm@198.51.100.1/registrardb.

   Ensure that the credentials you use have the permissions for Keylime to create the database structure.

4. Add certificates and keys to the registrar:

   • You can use the default configuration and load the keys and certificates to the /var/lib/keylime/reg_ca/ directory.

   • Alternatively, you can define the location of the keys and certificates in the configuration. Create a new .conf file in the /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/ directory, for example, /etc/keylime/registrar.conf.d/00-keys-and-certs.conf, with the following content:

     [registrar]
     tls_dir = /var/lib/keylime/reg_ca
     server_key = </path/to/server_key>
     server_key_password = <passphrase1>
     server_cert = </path/to/server_cert>
     trusted_client_ca = ['</path/to/ca/cert1>', '</path/to/ca/cert2>']

     참고

     Use absolute paths to define key and certificate locations. Alternatively, you can define a directory in the tls_dir option and use paths relative to that directory.

5. Open the ports in firewall:

   # firewall-cmd --add-port 8890/tcp --add-port 8891/tcp
   # firewall-cmd --runtime-to-permanent

   If you use a different port, replace 8890 or 8891 with the port number defined in the .conf file.

6. Start the keylime_registrar service:

   # systemctl enable --now keylime_registrar

   참고

   In the default configuration, start the keylime_verifier before starting the keylime_registrar service because the verifier creates the CA and certificates for the other Keylime components. This order is not necessary when you use custom certificates.
