Updating TLS/SSL certificates

1. Ask all users to save their work, stop any sessions and deployments, and log out of the platform while you update the certificates.
2. Backup your current Anaconda Enterprise configuration following the backup process.
3. Gather all of the following information and files related to your certificates, so you have it available to copy and paste from in the procedure that follows:

• Registered domain name for the server
• SSL certificate for servername.domain.tld, named tls.crt
• SSL private key for servername.domain.tld, named tls.key
• Root SSL certificate (such as this default Root CA), named rootca.crt. A root certificate is optional but recommended.
• Intermediate SSL certificate chain/bundle, named intermediate.pem (This certificate may also appear as the second entry in your fullchain.pem file.)
• Wildcard domain name
• Wildcard certificate for *.servername.domain.tld, named wildcard.crt.
• Wildcard private key for *.servername.domain.tld, named wildcard.key.

4. After you’ve gathered all the information above, follow the steps below that correspond to whether you will use the Admin console or the command line to update the Anaconda Enterprise platform to use your certificates.

1. Log in to Anaconda Enterprise, select the Menu icon in the top right corner and click the Administrative Console link displayed at the bottom of the slide out window.
2. Log in to the console using the Administrator credentials configured after installation.
3. Select Web Certificates from the left menu.

4. Copy and paste the certificate and key information from the files you gathered previously into the appropriate fields.
5. Click Save to update the platform with your changes.

1. Install openjdk. For example, use the following command to install java-1.8.0-openjdk on CentOS 7.5:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   yum install java-1.8.0-openjdk -y
   

2. Run the following command to create the keystore.jks file that will be used by Java:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   openssl pkcs12 -passout pass:anaconda -export -in CERT.PEM -inkey KEY.PEM -out certificate.p12 -name auth
   keytool -importkeystore -deststorepass anaconda -destkeypass anaconda -destkeystore keystore.jks -srckeystore certificate.p12 -srcstoretype PKCS12 -srcstorepass anaconda -alias auth
   

   If you’re using a certificate provided by Let’s Encrypt, use FULLCHAIN.PEM instead of CERT.PEM.
3. Create an updated Root CA to use with the system:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   cat ROOT.CA /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt > updated-trust-ca.crt
   

   If you’re using a certificate provided by Let’s Encrypt your can obtain the Root CA here. You must also prepend the CHAIN.PEM to the Root CA.
   For RHEL-based systems, the path to the trusted CA is: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-bundle.trust.crt. For Ubuntu-based systems, the path to the system CA is /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt.
4. Setup the basic structure of the certificates.yaml file, that you’ll be updating in the next several steps:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   cat > certificates.yaml <<EOL
   apiVersion: v1
   kind: Secret
   metadata:
     name: anaconda-enterprise-certs
   type: Opaque
   data:
   EOL
   

5. Add the main domain for the SSL certificate. For example test.anaconda.com:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   printf "  tls.crt: " >> certificates.yaml
   base64 -i --wrap=0 CERT.PEM >> certificates.yaml
   

6. Add the private key for the certificate:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   printf "\n  tls.key: " >> certificates.yaml
   base64 -i --wrap=0 KEY.PEM >> certificates.yaml
   

7. Add the SAN certificate to the file. For example *.test.anaconda.com:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   printf "\n  wildcard.crt: " >> certificates.yaml
   base64 -i --wrap=0 CERT.PEM >> certificates.yaml
   

8. Add the private key for the SAN certificate:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   printf "\n  wildcard.key: " >> certificates.yaml
   base64 -i --wrap=0 KEY.PEM >> certificates.yaml
   

9. Add the keystore you generated in Step 2:
   Copy

   Ask AI

   printf "\n  keystore.jks: " >> certificates.yaml
   base64 -i --wrap=0 keystore.jks >> certificates.yaml
   

10. Add the updated Root CA that you created in Step 3:

printf "\n  rootca.crt: " >> certificates.yaml
base64 -i --wrap=0 updated-trust-ca.crt >> certificates.yaml

11. Add a new line at the end of the file:

printf '\n' >> certificates.yaml

12. Copy the file to the share directory inside gravity:

cp certificates.yaml /var/lib/gravity/planet/share

13. Run the following commands to enter gravity and list your secrets:

gravity enter
kubectl get secrets

14. In the next step you’ll be removing and recreating a secret, so create a backup of the existing secrets first:

kubectl get secret anaconda-enterprise-certs -o yaml --export > anaconda_certs.backup

15. Remove the existing secret, and recreate it from the file you placed in the share directory (in Step 12):

kubectl delete secret anaconda-enterprise-certs
kubectl create -f /ext/share/certificates.yaml

16. Restart all pods to update Anaconda Enterprise to use your certificate:

kubectl get pods | grep ap- | cut -d' ' -f1 | xargs kubectl delete pods

​

Extracting TLS/SSL certificates

kubectl get secrets anaconda-enterprise-certs -o jsonpath="{.data['rootca\.crt']}" | base64 -d > rootca.crt

• rootca.crt: the root certificate authority bundle
• tls.crt: the SSL certificate for individual services
• tls.key: the private key for the above certificate
• wildcard.crt: the SSL certificate for “wildcard” services, such as deployed apps and sessions
• wildcard.key: the private key for the above certificate
• keystore.jks: the Java Key Store containing these certificates used by some services

# On Ubuntu
$ cp rootca.crt /usr/share/ca-certificates
$ update-ca-certificates

# RHEL/CentOS
$ cp rootca.crt /etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/
$ update-ca-trust

​

Verifying TLS/SSL certificates

# On Ubuntu
$ openssl s_client -connect anaconda.example.com:443 -CAfile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
...
    Verify return code: 0 (ok)

# On RHEL/CentOS
$ openssl s_client -connect anaconda.example.com:443 -CAfile /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
...
    Verify return code: 0 (ok)
