Hadoop Key Management Server (KMS) - Documentation Sets ${project.version}

  Hadoop KMS is a cryptographic key management server based on Hadoop's
  <<KeyProvider>> API.

  It provides a client and a server components which communicate over
  HTTP using a REST API.

  The client is a KeyProvider implementation interacts with the KMS
  using the KMS HTTP REST API.

  KMS and its client have built-in security and they support HTTP SPNEGO
  Kerberos authentication and HTTPS secure transport.

  KMS is a Java web-application and it runs using a pre-configured Tomcat
  bundled with the Hadoop distribution.

* KMS Client Configuration

  The KMS client <<<KeyProvider>>> uses the <<kms>> scheme, and the embedded
  URL must be the URL of the KMS. For example, for a KMS running
  on <<<http://localhost:16000/kms>>>, the KeyProvider URI is
  <<<kms://http@localhost:16000/kms>>>. And, for a KMS running on
  <<<https://localhost:16000/kms>>>, the KeyProvider URI is
  <<<kms://https@localhost:16000/kms>>>

* KMS

** KMS Configuration

  Configure the KMS backing KeyProvider properties
  in the <<<etc/hadoop/kms-site.xml>>> configuration file:

+---+
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.security.key.provider.path</name>
    <value>jceks://file@/${user.home}/kms.keystore</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.security.keystore.java-keystore-provider.password-file</name>
    <value>kms.keystore.password</value>
  </property>
+---+

  The password file is looked up in the Hadoop's configuration directory via the
  classpath.

  NOTE: You need to restart the KMS for the configuration changes to take
  effect.

** KMS Cache

  KMS caches keys for short period of time to avoid excessive hits to the
  underlying key provider.

  The Cache is enabled by default (can be dissabled by setting the
  <<<hadoop.kms.cache.enable>>> boolean property to false)

  The cache is used with the following 3 methods only, <<<getCurrentKey()>>>
  and <<<getKeyVersion()>>> and <<<getMetadata()>>>.

  For the <<<getCurrentKey()>>> method, cached entries are kept for a maximum
  of 30000 millisecond regardless the number of times the key is being access
  (to avoid stale keys to be considered current).

  For the <<<getKeyVersion()>>> method, cached entries are kept with a default
  inactivity timeout of 600000 milliseconds (10 mins). This time out is
  configurable via the following property in the <<<etc/hadoop/kms-site.xml>>>
  configuration file:

+---+
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.cache.enable</name>
    <value>true</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.cache.timeout.ms</name>
    <value>600000</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.current.key.cache.timeout.ms</name>
    <value>30000</value>
  </property>
+---+

** Start/Stop the KMS

  To start/stop KMS use KMS's bin/kms.sh script. For example:

+---+
hadoop-${project.version} $ sbin/kms.sh start
+---+

  NOTE: Invoking the script without any parameters list all possible
  parameters (start, stop, run, etc.). The <<<kms.sh>>> script is a wrapper
  for Tomcat's <<<catalina.sh>>> script that sets the environment variables
  and Java System properties required to run KMS.

** Embedded Tomcat Configuration

  To configure the embedded Tomcat go to the <<<share/hadoop/kms/tomcat/conf>>>.

  KMS pre-configures the HTTP and Admin ports in Tomcat's <<<server.xml>>> to
  16000 and 16001.

  Tomcat logs are also preconfigured to go to Hadoop's <<<logs/>>> directory.

  The following environment variables (which can be set in KMS's
  <<<etc/hadoop/kms-env.sh>>> script) can be used to alter those values:

  * KMS_HTTP_PORT

  * KMS_ADMIN_PORT

  * KMS_LOG

  NOTE: You need to restart the KMS for the configuration changes to take
  effect.

** KMS Security Configuration

*** Enabling Kerberos HTTP SPNEGO Authentication

  Configure the Kerberos <<<etc/krb5.conf>>> file with the information of your
  KDC server.

  Create a service principal and its keytab for the KMS, it must be an
  <<<HTTP>>> service principal.

  Configure KMS <<<etc/hadoop/kms-site.xml>>> with the correct security values,
  for example:

+---+
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.authentication.type</name>
    <value>kerberos</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.authentication.kerberos.keytab</name>
    <value>${user.home}/kms.keytab</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.authentication.kerberos.principal</name>
    <value>HTTP/localhost</value>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.authentication.kerberos.name.rules</name>
    <value>DEFAULT</value>
  </property>
+---+

  NOTE: You need to restart the KMS for the configuration changes to take
  effect.

*** KMS over HTTPS (SSL)

  To configure KMS to work over HTTPS the following 2 properties must be
  set in the <<<etc/hadoop/kms_env.sh>>> script (shown with default values):

    * KMS_SSL_KEYSTORE_FILE=${HOME}/.keystore

    * KMS_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASS=password

  In the KMS <<<tomcat/conf>>> directory, replace the <<<server.xml>>> file
  with the provided <<<ssl-server.xml>>> file.

  You need to create an SSL certificate for the KMS. As the
  <<<kms>>> Unix user, using the Java <<<keytool>>> command to create the
  SSL certificate:

+---+
$ keytool -genkey -alias tomcat -keyalg RSA
+---+

  You will be asked a series of questions in an interactive prompt.  It will
  create the keystore file, which will be named <<.keystore>> and located in the
  <<<kms>>> user home directory.

  The password you enter for "keystore password" must match the  value of the
  <<<KMS_SSL_KEYSTORE_PASS>>> environment variable set in the
  <<<kms-env.sh>>> script in the configuration directory.

  The answer to "What is your first and last name?" (i.e. "CN") must be the
  hostname of the machine where the KMS will be running.

  NOTE: You need to restart the KMS for the configuration changes to take
  effect.

*** KMS Access Control

  KMS ACLs configuration are defined in the KMS <<<etc/hadoop/kms-acls.xml>>>
  configuration file. This file is hot-reloaded when it changes.

  KMS supports a fine grained access control via a set ACL
  configuration properties:

+---+
  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.acl.CREATE</name>
    <value>*</value>
    <description>
      ACL for create-key operations.
      If the user does is not in the GET ACL, the key material is not returned
      as part of the response.
    </description>
  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.acl.DELETE</name>
    <value>*</value>
    <description>

  </property>

  <property>
    <name>hadoop.kms.acl.ROLLOVER</name>
    <value>*</value>
    <description>
      ACL for rollover-key operations.
      If the user does is not in the GET ACL, the key material is not returned
      as part of the response.
