Introduction

The installation folder for trcvault. This is responsible for setting up the initial tokens you'll need to manage your vault.

Prerequisites

This assumes the existence of a running vault on your local machine or virtual machine (in the cloud) with a reachable ip address and host name running vault. You should have run either trclocal or trccloud prior to this.

network setup

Build initial vault

trcinit -new -namespace=vault -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -totalKeys=3 -unsealKeys=2 > tokens.txt

Note, for local development installs where you may be using a self signed certificate, you can use the --insecure flag to give "flexibility" on certificate validation, meaning you want encrypted communication, but you are flexible on the validation of the certificate.

For reference, the default token namespaces provided are as follows..

Namespaces:

  • agent - Tokens for deployment agents.
  • vault - Env based tokens.

Rebooting vault (requires unseal with a quorom of unseal keys)

You'll need to run the following command once for each unseal key you set up...

VAULT_ADDR=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> /usr/local/vault/vault operator unseal

Note, for local development installs where you may be using a self signed certificate, you can use the --tls-skip-verify

Additional helpful commands

The commands below are helpful commands for managing tokens later on...

Get expiration for existing tokens in provided namespace

trcinit -tokenExpiration -namespace=vault -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -token=$TRC_ROOT_TOKEN

Rotate tokens in provided namespace

trcinit -rotateTokens -namespace=vault -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -token=$TRC_ROOT_TOKEN

The following creates roles for deploy and azuredeploy.

trcinit -rotateTokens -approle=deploy -namespace=agent -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -token=$TRC_ROOT_TOKEN

Update roles

trcinit -updateRole -namespace=vault -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -token=$TRC_ROOT_TOKEN

Update policies

trcinit -updatePolicy -namespace=vault -addr=https://<vaulthost:vaultport> -token=$TRC_ROOT_TOKEN
