Chapter 4. Managing secrets in barbican 4.1. Listing secrets Secrets are identified by their URI, indicated as a href value. This example shows the secret you created in the step: 4.2. Adding new secrets Create a test secret. For example: 4.3. Updating secrets You cannot change the payload of a secret (other than deleting the secret), but if you initially created a secret without specifying a payload, you can later add a payload to it by using the update function. For example: 4.4. Deleting secrets You can delete a secret by specifying its URI. For example: 4.5. Generate a symmetric key Symmetric keys are suitable for certain tasks, such as nova disk encryption and swift object encryption. Generate a new 256-bit key using order create and store it in barbican. For example: --mode - Generated keys can be configured to use a particular mode, such as ctr or cbc . For more information, see NIST SP 800-38A . View the details of the order to identify the location of the generated key, shown here as the Secret href value: Retrieve the details of the secret: 4.6. Backup and Restore Keys The process for backup and restore of encryption keys will vary depending on the type of back end: 4.6.1. Backup and restore the simple crypto back end Two separate components need to be backed up for simple crypto back end: the KEK and the database. It is recommended that you regularly test your backup and restore process. 4.6.1.1. Backup and restore the KEK For the simple crypto back end, you need to backup the barbican.conf file that contains the master KEK is written. This file must be backed up to a security hardened location. The actual data is stored in the Barbican database in an encrypted state, described in the section. To restore the key from a backup, you need to copy the restored barbican.conf over the existing barbican.conf . 4.6.1.2. Backup and restore the back end database This procedure describes how to backup and restore a barbican database for the simple crypto back end. To demonstrate this, you will generate a key and upload the secrets to barbican. You will then backup the barbican database, and delete the secrets you created. You will then restore the database and confirm that the secrets you created earlier have been recovered. Note Be sure you are also backing up the KEK, as this is also an important requirement. This is described in the section. 4.6.1.2.1. Create the test secret On the overcloud, generate a new 256-bit key using order create and store it in barbican. For example: Create a test secret: Confirm that the secrets were created: 4.6.1.2.2. Backup the barbican database Run these steps while logged in to the controller-0 node. Note Only the user barbican has access to the barbican database. So the barbican user password is required to backup or restore the database. Retrieve barbican user password. For example: Backup the barbican database: Database backup is stored in /home/heat-admin 4.6.1.2.3. Delete the test secrets On the overcloud, delete the secrets you created previously, and verify they no longer exist. For example: 4.6.1.2.4. Restore the databases Run these steps while logged in to the controller-0 node. Make sure you have the barbican database on the controller which grants access to the barbican user for database restoration: 9) Restore the backup file to the barbican database: + 4.6.1.2.5. Verify the restore process On the overcloud, verify that the test secrets were restored successfully:
