KMIP Secrets Engine | Vault

Enterprise Only: KMIP secrets engine requires Vault Enterprise with the Advanced Data Protection Module.

»Challenge

The OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) standard is a widely adopted protocol for handling cryptographic workloads and secrets management for enterprise infrastructure such as databases, network storage, and virtual/physical servers.

When an organization has services and applications that need to perform cryptographic operations (e.g.: transparent database encryption, full disk encryption, etc.), it often delegates the key management task to an external provider via KMIP protocol. As a result, your organization may have existing services or applications that implement KMIP or use wrapper clients with libraries/drivers that implement KMIP. This makes it difficult for an organization to adopt the Vault API in place of KMIP.

»Solution

Vault Enterprise v1.2 introduced KMIP secrets engine which allows Vault to act as a KMIP server for clients that retrieve cryptographic keys for encrypting data via KMIP protocol.

Vault KMIP

Vault's KMIP secrets engine manages its own listener to service KMIP requests which operate on KMIP managed objects. Vault policies do not come into play during these KMIP requests. The KMIP secrets engine determines the set of KMIP operations the clients are allowed to perform based on the roles that are applied to the TLS client certificate.

This enables the existing systems to continue using the KMIP APIs instead of Vault APIs.

»Prerequisites

To perform the tasks described in this tutorial, you need to have a Vault Enterprise v1.2 or later.

NOTE: To explore Vault Enterprise features, you can sign up for a free 30-day trial from here.

A KMIP client system for testing such as:

»Policy requirements

NOTE: For the purpose of this tutorial, you can use root token to work with Vault. However, it is recommended that root tokens are only used for just enough initial setup or in emergencies. As a best practice, use tokens with appropriate set of policies based on your role in the organization.

To perform all tasks demonstrated in this tutorial, your policy must include the following permissions:

# Work with kmip secrets engine
path "kmip/*" {
  capabilities = [ "create", "read", "update", "delete", "list" ]
}

# Enable secrets engine
path "sys/mounts/*" {
  capabilities = [ "create", "read", "update", "delete", "list" ]
}

# List enabled secrets engine
path "sys/mounts" {
  capabilities = [ "read", "list" ]
}

If you are not familiar with policies, complete the policies tutorial.

»Step 1: Enable and configure the KMIP secrets engine

First step is to enable the kmip secrets engine at a desired path. In this tutorial, you are going to enable the kmip secrets engine at /kmip.

Execute the following command to enable the kmip secrets engine at kmip/.
```
$ vault secrets enable kmip
```
Execute the following command to configure the kmip server to listen to port 5696.
```
$ vault write kmip/config listen_addrs=0.0.0.0:5696
```
Execute the following command to read back the kmip secrets engine configuration.
```
$ vault read kmip/config
Key                            Value
---                            -----
default_tls_client_key_bits    256
default_tls_client_key_type    ec
default_tls_client_ttl         336h
listen_addrs                   [0.0.0.0:5696]
server_hostnames               [localhost]
server_ips                     [127.0.0.1 ::1]
tls_ca_key_bits                256
tls_ca_key_type                ec
tls_min_version                tls12
```
When the KMIP engine is configured, it generates and stores a key-pair and uses it to sign a root CA which is used to sign an intermediate CA. The intermediate CA is used to sign the server TLS certificate used by the KMIP listener to identify itself during the TLS handshake.
By default, the certificate type (default_tls_client_key_type) is ec (Elliptic Curve). If you need RSA instead, specify the certificate type (tls_ca_key_type) and bits (tls_ca_key_bits) when you configure the kmip server.
```
$ vault write kmip/config listen_addrs=0.0.0.0:5696 \
      tls_ca_key_type="rsa" \
      tls_ca_key_bits=2048
```

Execute the following command to retrieve the generated CA certificate:

$ vault read kmip/ca
Key       Value
---       -----
ca_pem    -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----

-----END CERTIFICATE-----

Copy and save the CA certificate as ca.pem.

»Step 2: Create scopes and roles

Scopes partition KMIP managed object storage into multiple named buckets. (NOTE: Scopes cannot be nested.)

Roles in the KMIP secrets engine determine the set of KMIP operations that KMIP clients are allowed to perform.

Scopes and Roles

Execute the following command to create a new scope named, "finance".
```
$ vault write -f kmip/scope/finance
```

Execute the following command to list the existing scopes.

$ vault list kmip/scope
Keys                                                                             .
----                                                                             .
finance

Execute the following command to create a new role, "accounting" under the finance scope.
```
$ vault write kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting operation_all=true
```
By setting the operation_all parameter to true, the created role is granted to perform all KMIP client-server operations. Refer to Step 6 to learn how to modify the allowed operation list.

Execute the following command to list existing roles under finance scope.

$ vault list kmip/scope/finance/role
Keys                                                                            .
----                                                                            .
accounting

Execute the following command to read the accounting role definition.

$ vault read kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting
Key                    Value
---                    -----
operation_all          true
tls_client_key_bits    0
tls_client_key_ttl     0s
tls_client_key_type    n/a

»Step 3: Client certificate generation

Once the scope was created and a role was created under the scope, the next step is to get the certification for the KMIP client.

NOTE: Available certificate formats are: pem, pem_bundle, or der. If pem_bundle was chosen, the certificate field will contain the private key, certificate, and ca_chain, concatenated.

Execute the following command to generate a certificate in PEM format, and save it in a JSON file named, credential.json.

$ vault write -format=json \
    kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential/generate \
    format=pem > credential.json

Extract the certificate from the credential.json using jq tool and save it in a file named cert.pem.
```
$ jq -r .data.certificate < credential.json > cert.pem
```
Extract the private key from the credential.json using jq tool and save it in a file named key.pem.
```
$ jq -r .data.private_key < credential.json > key.pem
```
The resulting cert.pem and key.pem is what your KMIP client will use to establish a connection with Vault KMIP server.

Execute the following command to list the certification serial numbers associated with the accounting role.

$ vault list kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential
Keys                                                                             .
----                                                                             .
693751915900546682090704263335075174345458639865

Copy the returned serial number (e.g. 693751915900546682090704263335075174345458639865).

You can now lookup the client certificate by its serial number as shown in the example. (NOTE: Be sure to pass the serial_number you discovered.)

Example:

$ vault read kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential/lookup \
        serial_number=693751915900546682090704263335075174345458639865

»Step 4: KMIP client configuration

In Step 1, you saved the CA certificate in a file named, ca.pem. You created a role named, "accounting" with all supported KMIP operations allowed. Based on the role, a client certificate was generated and saved in a file, cert.pem and its private key in key.pem in Step 3.

»MongoDB Enterprise Advanced

This tutorial assumes that you already have an instance of MongoDB Enterprise Advanced running.

Use mongod daemon process to configure the KMIP settings.

First, combine the cert.pem and key.pem and save it as client.pem.

$ cat cert.pem key.pem > client.pem

Execute the mongod command to specify the cert & key file locations.

$ mongod --dbpath mongodata --enableEncryption --kmipServerName localhost \
         --kmipPort 5696 --kmipServerCAFile ca.pem \
         --kmipClientCertificateFile client.pem

The command output shows the created KMIP key ID:

...
[initandlisten] options: { security: { enableEncryption: true, kmip: { clientCertificateFile: "client.pem", port: 5696, serverCAFile: "ca.pem", serverName: "localhost" } }, storage: { dbPath: "mongodata" } }
...
[initandlisten] Created KMIP key with id: RklNh5GRRQCZ4PLzPYuV5BUm2HuWwbGv
...
[initandlisten] Encryption key manager initialized using KMIP key with id: RklNh5GRRQCZ4PLzPYuV5BUm2HuWwbGv.

»MySQL Enterprise Edition

This tutorial assumes that you already have an instance of MySQL Enterprise Edition running with your own license.

The keyring_okv keyring plugin uses the KMIP 1.1 protocol to communicate securely as a client of a KMIP back end. Follow the MySQL online documentation to create okvclient.ora file, and an ssl directory to place the certificate and key files for keyring_ova to work properly.

Also, install the keyring_udf plugin and the user-defined functions (UDFs) as described in the MySQL documentation.

Now, generate a new random key with a given ID, type, and length, and store it in the keyring.

mysql> SELECT keyring_key_generate('MyKey1', 'AES', 32);
+-------------------------------------------+
| keyring_key_generate('MyKey1', 'AES', 32) |
+-------------------------------------------+
|                                         1 |
+-------------------------------------------+
1 row in set (0.35 sec)

»Step 5: Revoke a client certificate

Vault make it easy to revoke the existing client certificates if necessary.

Execute the following command to revoke a client certificate by its serial number. (NOTE: Be sure to pass the serial_number for your system.)

Example:

$ vault write kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential/revoke \
        serial_number="187621554749885282282062389325090392369479437576"

Verify that it no longer exists.

$ vault list kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential

No value found at kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting/credential/

»Step 6: Manage KMIP roles

In Step 2, the accounting role was permitted to perform all KMIP operations (operation_all). However, you should practice the least privileged and avoid granting more permissions than necessary.

When you grant KMIP operations, the argument convention is operation_<KMIP_operation>. For example, to grant a Create operation, the parameter becomes operation_create.

NOTE: Refer to the KMIP Secrets Engine doc for the list of supported KMIP operations.

Execute the following command to update the accounting role and grant only Activate, Create, and Get operations.

$ vault write kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting \
        operation_activate=true \
        operation_create=true \
        operation_get=true

Verify the changes.

$ vault read kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting
Key                    Value
---                    -----
operation_activate     true
operation_create       true
operation_get          true
tls_client_key_bits    0
tls_client_key_ttl     0s
tls_client_key_type    n/a

To delete the accounting role, execute the following command.
```
$ vault delete kmip/scope/finance/role/accounting
```

»Step 7: Delete scopes

If you need to delete scopes, follow this step.

Execute the following command to delete scope, finance.

$ vault delete kmip/scope/finance

NOTE: Pass -f or -force flag to allow deleting a scope which has some managed objects created with.

»Additional Discussion

As it was discussed, Vault policies do not come into play during these KMIP requests. The KMIP secrets engine determines the set of KMIP operations the clients are allowed to perform based on the roles (accounting).

Let's take a look at the generated client certificate file.

Notice the Subject properties: Subject: OU=5J7Ck, CN=ImYFE

The OU corresponds to the scope (finance) and CN corresponds to the role (accounting). If you have access to the Vault's storage backend, you would find persisted data with those IDs.

For example:

"key": "vault/logical//scope/5J7Ck/role/ImYFE"
"key": "vault/logical//scope/5J7Ck/info"
"key": "vault/logical//managed-objects/5J7Ck/RklNh5GRRQCZ4PLzPYuV5BUm2HuWwbGv"

You can read the allowed operations for the role using the sys/raw endpoint if it's enabled.

$ vault read sys/raw/logical/<UUID>/scope/5J7Ck/role/ImYFE

Key      Value
---      -----
value    {"id":"ImYFE","allowed_operations":{"operation_all":{}}}

When a situation requires you to delete the client certificate, simply revoke the certificate as described in Step 5.
