One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions 6.0.1 - Administration Guide

Configuring SoftHSM

SoftHSM is the software implementation of an HSM. It can be installed from the EPEL repository. The configuration of SoftHSM can be found at /etc/softhsm2.conf (CentOS 7), or /etc/softhsm.conf (CentOS 6).

The following describes how to configure SoftHSM.

To configure SoftHSM

1. Initialize directories for SoftHSM.

   mkdir -p /var/lib/softhsm
   chgrp -R indexer /var/lib/softhsm

2. Configure slots for softhsm1 (CentOS 6). For softhsm2 (CentOS 7), you can skip this step.

   cat /etc/softhsm.conf
   0:/var/lib/softhsm/slot0.db
   1:/var/lib/softhsm/slot1.db

3. Initialize slot 0 (softhsm1).

   softhsm --init-token --slot 0 --label "<your-slot-label>" –-<so-pin> topsecret --pin <your-SoftHSM-PIN>

4. Initialize a new slot (softhsm2) and get the slot ID:

   softhsm2-util --init-token --free --label "<your-slot-label>" --<so-pin> topsecret --pin <your-SoftHSM-PIN>
   SLOT_ID=$(softhsm2-util --show-slots | grep -B 15 "<your-slot-label>" | grep "Slot [0-9]" | head -n 1 | cut -d ' ' -f 2)

5. Import your keys. Your keys must be in the .der format.

   For softhsm1, use:

   pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm.so -l -y privkey --slot 0 -w key.der -d 001 -a <your-key-label> --pin <your-SoftHSM-PIN>

   For softhsm2, use:

   pkcs11-tool --module /usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm2.so -l -y privkey --slot 0 -w key.der -d 001 -a <your-key-label> --pin <your-SoftHSM-PIN>

6. Make sure that the indexer user/group has execute right to the token directory and read right to the token files below the /var/lib/softhsm/tokens/ directory.

7. Test your SoftHSM configuration with the indexer.

   source /etc/indexer/external-indexer.env
   indexerworker -l -v 7 --pkcs11-lib "<your-SoftHSM-library>" --pkcs11-slot-id 0 --pkcs11-pin "<your-SoftHSM-PIN>"

8. Encrypt the PKCS#11 PIN(s). For detailed instructions, see Encrypting a PKCS#11 PIN.

9. Update the "pkcs11" object in the /etc/indexer/indexerworker.cfg file.

   ...
      "pkcs11": {
          "slots": [
            {
              "library": "/usr/lib/softhsm/libsofthsm.so",
              "slot_id": 0,
              "pin": "<your-encrypted-PIN>"
            }
          ]
      }
   ...

Configuring AWS CloudHSM

Amazon Web Services (AWS) CloudHSM provides hardware security modules in the AWS Cloud.

The following describes how to configure CloudHSM.

To configure CloudHSM

1. Test your environment as described in Setting up and testing the environment.

   Note that you will need to provide your CloudHSM PIN in the following format:

   "<your-CloudHSM-username:your-CloudHSM-PIN>"

2. Encrypt the PKCS#11 PIN(s). For detailed instructions, see Encrypting a PKCS#11 PIN.

3. Update the "pkcs11" object in the /etc/indexer/indexerworker.cfg file.

   ...
      "pkcs11": {
          "custom_password": true
          "slots": [
            {
              "library": "/opt/cloudhsm/lib/libcloudhsm_pkcs11.so",
              "slot_id": 1,
              "pin": "<your-encrypted-PIN>"
            }
          ]
      }
   ...

Configuring a smart card

To configure a smart card

1. Install OpenSC, for example, from the EPEL repository of CentOS.

2. Ensure that the PC/SC Smart Card Daemon (pcscd) service is running:

   • On CentOS 6:

     service pcscd start

   • On CentOS 7:

     systemctl enable pcscd
     systemctl start pcscd

     Alternatively, you can use:

     systemctl enable pcscd.socket
     systemctl start pcscd.socket

     This ensures that the pcscd service will not start at system startup, it will only start when there is an attempt (for example, by the indexerworker) to connect to it.

3. Test your environment as described in Setting up and testing the environment.

4. Encrypt the PKCS#11 PIN(s). For detailed instructions, see the Encrypting a PKCS#11 PIN.

5. Update the "pkcs11" object in the /etc/indexer/indexerworker.cfg file, for example:

   ... 
      "pkcs11": { 
          "slots": [ 
            { 
              "library": "/usr/lib64/pkcs11/opensc-pkcs11.so", 
              "slot_id": 1, 
              "pin": "encrypted_pin" 
            } 
          ] 
      } 
   ...

Customizing the indexing of HTTP traffic

Use this section to customize how One Identity Safeguard for Privileged Sessions (SPS) indexes HTTP traffic.

{
  "General": {
    "Whitelist": ["text/.*", ".*json.*", "application/x-www-form-urlencoded", "multipart/.*"],
    "Blacklist": ["text/css", "application/javascript", "text/xslt", ".*xml.*"]
  },
  "Form": {
     "Blacklist": ["password", "pass"]
  },
  "Html": {
    "Attributes": ["href", "name", "value", "title", "id", "src"],
    "StrippedTags": ["script", "object", "style", "noscript", "embed", "video", "audio", "canvas", "svg"]
  }
}

To customize how SPS indexes HTTP traffic

1. Create a configuration file for the HTTP indexer using a text editor. The configuration file uses the JSON format. For details on the configuration format, see HTTP indexer configuration format.

   NOTE: If you want to index HTTP POST messages, include the "application/x-www-form-urlencoded" Content-Type in the General > WhiteList list. The indexer will decode URL encoding (percentage encoding), and create key=value pairs from the form fields and their values. Note that in the values, the indexer will replace whitespace with the underscore (_) character. To avoid indexing sensitive information (for example, passwords from login forms), use the Form > Blacklist option.

2. Copy the configuration file to the external hosts, to the /opt/external-indexer/usr/share/adp/httpconfig.json file.

3. Reload the indexer service: systemctl restart external-indexer.service

4. Repeat the above steps for your other external indexer hosts. Otherwise, it is possible that certain audit trails will be indexed using different indexer configuration.

5. Disable the indexer that is running on the SPS host. Otherwise, it is possible that certain audit trails will be indexed using different indexer configuration.

   Navigate to Basic Settings > Local Services > Indexer service, and set the Maximum parallel audit trails to index on box option to 0.
