Secret XML
|
|
----------
|
|
|
|
Secrets stored by libvirt may have attributes associated with them, using the
|
|
``secret`` element. The ``secret`` element has two optional attributes, each
|
|
with values '``yes``' and '``no``', and defaulting to '``no``':
|
|
|
|
``ephemeral``
|
|
This secret must only be kept in memory, never stored persistently.
|
|
``private``
|
|
The value of the secret must not be revealed to any caller of libvirt, nor to
|
|
any other node.
|
|
|
|
The top-level ``secret`` element may contain the following elements:
|
|
|
|
``uuid``
|
|
An unique identifier for this secret (not necessarily in the UUID format). If
|
|
omitted when defining a new secret, a random UUID is generated.
|
|
``description``
|
|
A human-readable description of the purpose of the secret.
|
|
``usage``
|
|
Specifies what this secret is used for. A mandatory ``type`` attribute
|
|
specifies the usage category, currently only ``volume``, ``ceph``, ``iscsi``,
|
|
``tls``, and ``vtpm`` are defined. Specific usage categories are described
|
|
below.
|
|
|
|
Usage type "volume"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This secret is associated with a volume, whether the format is either for a
|
|
"luks" encrypted volume. Each volume will have a unique secret associated with
|
|
it and it is safe to delete the secret after the volume is deleted. The
|
|
``<usage type='volume'>`` element must contain a single ``volume`` element that
|
|
specifies the path of the volume this secret is associated with. For example,
|
|
create a volume-secret.xml file as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>Super secret name of my first puppy</description>
|
|
<uuid>0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f</uuid>
|
|
<usage type='volume'>
|
|
<volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/puppyname.img</volume>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
Define the secret and set the passphrase as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define volume-secret.xml
|
|
Secret 0a81f5b2-8403-7b23-c8d6-21ccc2f80d6f created
|
|
|
|
See `Setting secret values in virsh`_ on how to set the value of the secret
|
|
using ``virsh secret-set-value``.
|
|
|
|
The volume type secret can be supplied either in volume XML during creation of a
|
|
`storage volume <formatstorage.html#storage-volume-xml>`__ in order to provide
|
|
the passphrase to encrypt the volume or in domain XML
|
|
`disk device <formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms>`__ in order to provide the
|
|
passphrase to decrypt the volume, :since:`since 2.1.0` . An example follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# cat luks-secret.xml
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>LUKS Sample Secret</description>
|
|
<uuid>f52a81b2-424e-490c-823d-6bd4235bc57</uuid>
|
|
<usage type='volume'>
|
|
<volume>/var/lib/libvirt/images/luks-sample.img</volume>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define luks-secret.xml
|
|
Secret f52a81b2-424e-490c-823d-6bd4235bc57 created
|
|
|
|
See `Setting secret values in virsh`_ on how to set the value of the secret
|
|
using ``virsh secret-set-value``.
|
|
|
|
The volume type secret can be supplied in domain XML for a luks storage volume
|
|
`encryption <formatstorageencryption.html>`__ as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<encryption format='luks'>
|
|
<secret type='passphrase' uuid='f52a81b2-424e-490c-823d-6bd4235bc57'/>
|
|
</encryption>
|
|
|
|
Usage type "ceph"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This secret is associated with a Ceph RBD (rados block device). The
|
|
``<usage type='ceph'>`` element must contain a single ``name`` element that
|
|
specifies a usage name for the secret. The Ceph secret can then be used by UUID
|
|
or by this usage name via the ``<auth>`` element of a `disk
|
|
device <formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms>`__ or a `storage pool
|
|
(rbd) <formatstorage.html>`__. :since:`Since 0.9.7` . The following is an
|
|
example of the steps to be taken. First create a ceph-secret.xml file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>CEPH passphrase example</description>
|
|
<usage type='ceph'>
|
|
<name>ceph_example</name>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
Next, use ``virsh secret-define ceph-secret.xml`` to define the secret and
|
|
``virsh secret-set-value`` using the generated UUID value and a base64 generated
|
|
secret value in order to define the chosen secret pass phrase.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define ceph-secret.xml
|
|
Secret 1b40a534-8301-45d5-b1aa-11894ebb1735 created
|
|
#
|
|
# virsh secret-list
|
|
UUID Usage
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
1b40a534-8301-45d5-b1aa-11894ebb1735 cephx ceph_example
|
|
|
|
See `Setting secret values in virsh`_ on how to set the value of the secret
|
|
using ``virsh secret-set-value``.
|
|
|
|
The ceph secret can then be used by UUID or by the usage name via the ``<auth>``
|
|
element in a domain's `<disk> <formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms>`__ element as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<auth username='myname'>
|
|
<secret type='ceph' usage='ceph_example'/>
|
|
</auth>
|
|
|
|
As well as the ``<auth>`` element in a `storage pool
|
|
(rbd) <formatstorage.html>`__ ``<source>`` element as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<auth type='ceph' username='myname'>
|
|
<secret usage='ceph_example'/>
|
|
</auth>
|
|
|
|
Usage type "iscsi"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This secret is associated with an iSCSI target for CHAP authentication. The
|
|
``<usage type='iscsi'>`` element must contain a single ``target`` element that
|
|
specifies a usage name for the secret. The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID
|
|
or by this usage name via the ``<auth>`` element of a `disk
|
|
device <formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms>`__ or a `storage pool
|
|
(iscsi) <formatstorage.html>`__. :since:`Since 1.0.4` . The following is an
|
|
example of the XML that may be used to generate a secret for iSCSI CHAP
|
|
authentication. Assume the following sample entry in an iSCSI authentication
|
|
file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<target iqn.2013-07.com.example:iscsi-pool>
|
|
backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk1
|
|
backing-store /home/tgtd/iscsi-pool/disk2
|
|
incominguser myname mysecret
|
|
</target>
|
|
|
|
Define an iscsi-secret.xml file to describe the secret. Use the ``incominguser``
|
|
username used in your iSCSI authentication configuration file as the value for
|
|
the ``username`` attribute. The ``description`` attribute should contain
|
|
configuration specific data. The ``target`` name may be any name of your
|
|
choosing to be used as the ``usage`` when used in the pool or disk XML
|
|
description.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>Passphrase for the iSCSI example.com server</description>
|
|
<usage type='iscsi'>
|
|
<target>libvirtiscsi</target>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
Next, use ``virsh secret-define iscsi-secret.xml`` to define the secret and
|
|
``virsh secret-set-value`` using the generated UUID value and a base64 generated
|
|
secret value in order to define the chosen secret pass phrase. The pass phrase
|
|
must match the password used in the iSCSI authentication configuration file.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define secret.xml

UUID Usage
|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
c4dbe20b-b1a3-4ac1-b6e6-2ac97852ebb6 iscsi libvirtiscsi
|
|
|
|
|
|
See `Setting secret values in virsh`_ on how to set the value of the secret
|
|
using ``virsh secret-set-value``.
|
|
|
|
The iSCSI secret can then be used by UUID or by the usage name via the
|
|
``<auth>`` element in a domain's `<disk> <formatdomain.html#hard-drives-floppy-disks-cdroms>`__
|
|
element as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<auth username='myname'>
|
|
<secret type='iscsi' usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
|
|
</auth>
|
|
|
|
As well as the ``<auth>`` element in a `storage pool
|
|
(iscsi) <formatstorage.html>`__ ``<source>`` element as follows:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
<auth type='chap' username='myname'>
|
|
<secret usage='libvirtiscsi'/>
|
|
</auth>
|
|
|
|
Usage type "tls"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This secret may be used in order to provide the passphrase for the private key
|
|
used to provide TLS credentials. The ``<usage type='tls'>`` element must contain
|
|
a single ``name`` element that specifies a usage name for the secret.
|
|
:since:`Since 2.3.0` . The following is an example of the expected XML and
|
|
processing to define the secret:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# cat tls-secret.xml
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>sample tls secret</description>
|
|
<usage type='tls'>
|
|
<name>TLS_example</name>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define tls-secret.xml
|
|

|
|
-----------------------------------------------------------
|
|
718c71bd-67b5-4a2b-87ec-a24e8ca200dc tls TLS_example
|
|
|
|
A secret may also be defined via the
|
|
`virSecretDefineXML <html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretDefineXML>`__
|
|
API. Once the secret is defined, a secret value will need to be set. The secret
|
|
would be the passphrase used to access the TLS credentials. The following is a
|
|
simple example of using ``virsh secret-set-value`` to set the secret value. The
|
|
`virSecretSetValue <html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretSetValue>`__ API
|
|
may also be used to set a more secure secret without using printable/readable
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
Usage type "vtpm"
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
This secret is associated with a virtualized TPM (vTPM) and serves as a
|
|
passphrase for deriving a key from for encrypting the state of the vTPM. The
|
|
``<usage type='vtpm'>`` element must contain a single ``name`` element that
|
|
specifies a usage name for the secret. The vTPM secret can then be used by UUID
|
|
via the ``<encryption>`` element of a `tpm <formatdomain.html#tpm-device>`__
|
|
when using an emulator. :since:`Since 5.6.0` . The following is an example of
|
|
the steps to be taken. First create a vtpm-secret.xml file:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# cat vtpm-secret.xml
|
|
<secret ephemeral='no' private='yes'>
|
|
<description>sample vTPM secret</description>
|
|
<usage type='vtpm'>
|
|
<name>VTPM_example</name>
|
|
</usage>
|
|
</secret>
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-define vtpm-secret.xml
|
|
Secret 6dd3e4a5-1d76-44ce-961f-f119f5aad935 created
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-list
|
|
UUID Usage
|
|
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
6dd3e4a5-1d76-44ce-961f-f119f5aad935 vtpm VTPM_example
|
|
|
|
A secret may also be defined via the
|
|
`virSecretDefineXML <html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretDefineXML>`__
|
|
API. Once the secret is defined, a secret value will need to be set. The secret
|
|
would be the passphrase used to decrypt the vTPM state. The following is a
|
|
simple example of using ``virsh secret-set-value`` to set the secret value. The
|
|
`virSecretSetValue <html/libvirt-libvirt-secret.html#virSecretSetValue>`__ API
|
|
may also be used to set a more secure secret without using printable/readable
|
|
characters.
|
|
|
|
Setting secret values in virsh
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
To set the value of the secret you can use the following virsh commands. If the
|
|
secret is a password-like string (printable characters, no newline) you can use:
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-set-value --interactive 6dd3e4a5-1d76-44ce-961f-f119f5aad935
|
|
Enter new value for secret:
|
|
Secret value set
|
|
|
|
Another secure option is to read the secret from a file. This way the secret can
|
|
contain any bytes (even NUL and non-printable characters). The length of the
|
|
secret is the length of the input file. Alternatively the ``--plain`` option can
|
|
be omitted if the file contents are base64-encoded.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# virsh secret-set-value 6dd3e4a5-1d76-44ce-961f-f119f5aad935 --file --plain secretinfile
|
|
Secret value set
|
|
|
|
**WARNING** The following approach is **insecure** and deprecated. The secret
|
|
can also be set via an argument. Note that other users may see the actual secret
|
|
in the process listing! The secret must be base64 encoded.
|
|
|
|
::
|
|
|
|
# MYSECRET=`printf %s "open sesame" | base64`
|
|
# virsh secret-set-value 6dd3e4a5-1d76-44ce-961f-f119f5aad935 $MYSECRET
|
|
Secret value set
|
