General upgrade considerations 

Before you perform a vSRX upgrade, be aware of the following considerations:



* You might experience network disruptions when upgrading your vSRX version. To avoid disruptions, perform the upgrade during a maintenance window that supports potential network downtime. Failover is not available until the upgrade completes, and can take several hours. For High Availability (HA) environments, your vSRX configuration settings are migrated; however, it is recommended to export your settings before the upgrade.
* For a stand-alone environment, the previous configuration is not restored, so you should export and import your configuration. For more information, see [Importing and exporting a vSRX configuration](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/vsrx?topic=vsrx-importing-exporting-vsrx-configuration).
* For a successful reload on a HA vSRX, the root password for the provisioned vSRX gateway must match the root password that is defined in the vSRX portal. In addition, you must enable root SSH login to the vSRX Private IP.

You defined the password in the portal when you provisioned your gateway. This might not match the current gatewaypassword. If the password was changed after provisioning, then use SSH to connect to the vSRX gateway and changethe root password to match. The Readiness Check fails if there is a password mismatch.
* Do not modify the vSRX configuration during an OS reload. The upgrade process captures a snapshot of the current vSRX cluster configuration at the beginning of the process. Therefore, modifying the vSRX configuration during the upgrade process can result in a failure, or unpredictable results. For example, automated software agents attempting to modify one or both vSRX nodes. Configurations changes can corrupt the OS reload process. Additionally, these configuration changes are not preserved if a rollback is initiated.
* Before performing an OS reload upgrade on an HA cluster, run the command show chassis cluster status. The nodes should be clustered with one node that is listed as the primary and the other as secondary. Ensure that there are no monitor failures.

ibmcloud cdb deployment-connections [--user <userid>] [--password <password>] [--endpoint-type <endpoint type>] [--all] [--only] [--start] [--certroot <path>] [--json]



 Command options 



* --start or -s Start a connection by running the CLI command generated. If a password isn't specified in the flags, the command prompts for a password interactively. The plug-in uses the default commands for command-line interaction and managing the CA certificate to ensure a secure TLS session. Defaults to connecting as the deployment's admin user.
* --user <userid> or -u Sets the user ID that is used when retrieving connection settings. It is substituted into connection strings. Defaults to the deployment's admin user.
* --password <password> or -p Sets the password that is used when retrieving connection settings. It is substituted into connection strings where $PASSWORD appears as default.
* --endpoint-type [public or private] or -e [public or private] Endpoint type for returned connection strings. Either 'public' or 'private'. (default: "public"). Endpoint type is not enforced and is only for display purposes.
* --all or -a Lists all connection settings available including component parts of connection strings.
* --certroot <path> or -c Use the path as the certificate root. If the path doesn't exist, it is created automatically. Works with the --save flag. The certificate root value can also be set in the $CERTROOT environment variable.
* --only [app or cli] or -o Show only the settings that are relevant to app connections or cli connections.
* --json or -j Display results as JSON.
* --endpoint-type or -e Endpoint type for returned connection strings, either public or private. Default is public.
All the information a driver needs to make a connection to your deployment is in the "MongoDB" section of your connection strings. The table contains a breakdown for reference.



Table 1. mongodb/URI connection information

 Field Name Index Description 

 Type Type of connection - for MongoDB, it is "URI" 
 Scheme Scheme for a URI - for MongoDB, it is "mongodb" 
 Path Path for a URI - for MongoDB, it is the database name. When provisioning a MongoDB instance for the first time, the default database for the user to connect to is admin. 
 Authentication Username The username that you use to connect. 
 Authentication Password A password for the user - might be shown as $PASSWORD 
 Authentication Method How authentication takes place; "direct" authentication is handled by the driver. Mongo 3.6 uses SCRAM SHA 1, whereas Mongo 4.2 uses SHA 256 
 Hosts 0... A hostname and port to connect to 
 Composed 0... A URI combining Scheme, Authentication, Host, Path, and Replica Set name. 
 Certificate Name The allocated name for the self-signed certificate for database deployment 
 Certificate Base64 A base64 encoded version of the certificate. 





* 0... indicates that there might be one or more of these entries in an array.



Many MongoDB drivers are able to connect to your deployment when given the URI-formatted connection string found in the "composed" field of the connection information. For example,

mongodb://admin:$PASSWORD@d5eeee66-5bc4-498a-b73b-1307848f1eac.8f7bfd8f3faa4218aec56e069eb46187.databases.appdomain.cloud:30484/<database name>?authSource=admin&replicaSet=replset

The replicaSet query parameter contains the replica set name for your deployment. It is probably replset. Some drivers and applications need it passed in separately.
Access to the management of Hyper Protect Virtual Servers service instances is controlled by IBM Cloud Identity and Access Management (IAM) but the servers use standard Ubuntu user-access management. You can find more information [here](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-manage_access).





 Securing your data 

To securely manage your data when you use Hyper Protect Virtual Servers, you must know what data is stored and encrypted and how to delete any personal data. You can find more information about how to protect your data and the IBM Cloud network architecture [here](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-mng-data).





 Protecting your Hyper Protect Virtual Servers 

A Hyper Protect Virtual Servers server has two disks, "boot" and "data". The boot disk is always 25 GB. If your boot disk is full, the server can't start. You can't recover your instance because your boot disk can't be resized. The size of the data disk varies, and depends on your plan. Make sure that important data is persisted on the data disk. After the user password expires, you have 30 days to change your password. If you don't change your password within the 30 days, your account becomes inactive and you can't log in by way of SSH even if you are using SSH-keys. For more information, see [Protecting a virtual server](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/hp-virtual-servers?topic=hp-virtual-servers-protect_vs).
You can record these details for both an individual device and for all devices associated with your account:



* View individual device IPs from the Device List.
* View individual device root passwords in the Snapshot View for the device.
* View multiple device IPs by using the Download CSV option from the Device List. Then, select Download CSV from the Settings cog to download a full list of devices and details in spreadsheet format.



4. Update the credentials for operating systems and other software. All of the software that was loaded onto your device during the provisioning process was assigned temporary credentials. You can view and manage these credentials on the Passwords tab of each device in the IBM Cloud® console. Use these temporary credentials to access your software for the first time. Then, change the password to your software by following strong password practices. Create a password that consists of a combination of letters, numbers, and symbols. Optionally, you can store password updates on the Passwords tab for each device. However, when you store passwords, any person with access to the account and appropriate permissions can view the passwords that are stored on the Passwords screen.
5. Access your server on the private network. You can use the IBM Cloud infrastructure private network to interact with your devices through remote desktop (RDP) by using SSH and KVM over IP. You can use the VPN Access tool for private network connection to either the closest SSL VPN endpoint or to the endpoint of your choice. VPN access is also required to interact with several services. To access the private network, edit the user’s VPN access from the User List. To access the User List, click Account > Users > User list. Use the [Virtual Private Network](https://www.ibm.com/cloud/vpn-access) page to connect to one of the various VPN options.
6. After you have your infrastructure and environments up and running, you are ready to set up your monitoring service. IBM Cloud Monitoring gives you insight into the performance and health of your applications, services, and platforms.
You can use the Skopeo CLI to log in to the registry by using a bearer token, replace <registry_domain> with the [domain](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-registry_accessregistry_access_apikey_auth):

ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens | sed -ne '/IAM token/s/.* //p' | skopeo login -u iambearer --password-stdin <registry_domain>







 Accessing your namespaces programmatically 

Use your own code to access to your namespaces in IBM Cloud Container Registry.

Most users can use the [ibmcloud cr login](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/Registry?topic=Registry-containerregclibx_cr_login) command to simplify docker login, but if you are implementing automation or you are using a different client, you might want to authenticate manually. You must present a username and password. In IBM Cloud Container Registry, the username indicates the type of secret that is presented in the password.

The following usernames are valid:



* iambearer The password contains an IAMaccess token. This type of authentication is short lived, but can be derived from all types of IAM identity. For example, from [ibmcloud iam oauth-tokens](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/cli?topic=cli-ibmcloud_commands_iamibmcloud_iam_oauth_tokens).
* iamrefresh The password contains an IAM refresh token that is used internally by the registry to generate an IAM access token. This type of authentication is longer lived. This authentication type is used by the ibmcloud cr login command.
* iamapikey The password is an IAM API key that is used internally by the registry to generate an IAM access token. This type of authentication is the preferred type for automation. You can use a user API key or a service ID API key.
failureRedirect: ROP_LOGIN_PAGE_URL,
failureFlash : true // allow flash messages
}));

WebAppStrategy allows users to sign in to your web apps with a username and password. After a successful login, a user's access token is stored in the HTTP session and is available during the session. After the HTTP session is destroyed or expired, the token is invalid.



 Sign up 



1. Configure your Cloud Directory [settings](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/appid?topic=appid-cloud-directorycd-settings) in the GUI. Both Allow users to sign up to your app and Allow users to manage their account from your app must be set to On.
2. Place the following code in your application. When a user attempts to sign up for your application, the login widget is called and displays your custom sign-up page.

app.get("/sign_up", passport.authenticate(WebAppStrategy.STRATEGY_NAME, {
successRedirect: LANDING_PAGE_URL,
show: WebAppStrategy.SIGN_UP
}));







 Forgot password 



1. Configure your Cloud Directory [settings](https://cloud.ibm.com/docs/appid?topic=appid-cloud-directorycd-settings) in the GUI. Allow users to manage their account from your app must be set to On.
2. In the Reset Password tab of the service dashboard, be sure that Forgot password email is set to On.
3. Place the following code in your application to pass the show property to WebAppStrategy.FORGOT_PASSWORD. When a user requests that their password to your app be updated, the login widget is called and the process starts.

app.get("/forgot_password", passport.authenticate(WebAppStrategy.STRATEGY_NAME, {
successRedirect: LANDING_PAGE_URL,
show: WebAppStrategy.FORGOT_PASSWORD
}));
