Prerequisites

Before you install and configure the Key Manager service, you must create a database, service credentials, and API endpoints.

1. To create the database, complete these steps:

   • Use the database access client to connect to the database server as the root user:

     $ mysql -u root -p

   • Create the barbican database:

     CREATE DATABASE barbican;

   • Grant proper access to the barbican database:

     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON barbican.* TO 'barbican'@'localhost' \
       IDENTIFIED BY 'BARBICAN_DBPASS';
     GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON barbican.* TO 'barbican'@'%' \
       IDENTIFIED BY 'BARBICAN_DBPASS';

     Replace BARBICAN_DBPASS with a suitable password.

   • Exit the database access client.

     exit;

2. Source the admin credentials to gain access to admin-only CLI commands:

   $ source admin-openrc

3. To create the service credentials, complete these steps:

   • Create the barbican user:

     $ openstack user create --domain default --password-prompt barbican

   • Add the admin role to the barbican user:

     $ openstack role add --project service --user barbican admin

   • Create the creator role:

     $ openstack role create creator

   • Add the creator role to the barbican user:

     $ openstack role add --project service --user barbican creator

   • Create the barbican service entities:

     $ openstack service create --name barbican --description "Key Manager" key-manager

4. Create the Key Manager service API endpoints:

   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     key-manager public http://controller:9311
   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     key-manager internal http://controller:9311
   $ openstack endpoint create --region RegionOne \
     key-manager admin http://controller:9311
