Eyeglass Service Account Minimum Privileges

Home

Overview

Eyeglass communicates with PowerScale clusters to perform discovery and add/update/delete of share, export and quota configuration information. The minimum PowerScale cluster node user privileges required for Eyeglass/PowerScale connectivity to successfully perform configuration replication and support other Eyeglass features are:

	NOTE: Any change to Eyeglass Service Account privileges requires an Eyeglass sca service restart to recognize the change (procedure below). NOTE: AD or LDAP user is not supported, this lowers the system availability and adds dependency on AD/LDAP servers for API calls, local users on PowerScale have no dependence on AD/LDAP, in addition this generates too many authentication requests for API calls.

In addition to the creation of the Eyeglass service account on the PowerScale cluster, the sudoer file on the cluster must be updated to allow the Eyeglass service account to execute OneFS CLI commands that require Elevated Permissions to run as root.

Step 1 - Creating the local PowerScale Eyeglass User - PowerScale Command Line For Eyeglass DR, Ransomware Defender, Easy Auditor and Storage Cluster Monitor

Use these permissions for all of the products above.

Follow create steps below
Then move to step 2 SUDO file configuration

To provision user and role from the PowerScale Cluster command line:

These commands below are executable by ssh as root on PowerScale and then right-click:

	Note: Service account set to password never expires.

Step 2 - SUDO Root Level Commands Needed for Eyeglass DR & Airgap , Cluster Storage Monitor Unlock My Files

In order to execute the some commands from the CLI that are not available in the PAPI for OneFS and require root-level (sudo) privileges for execution, this allows service accounts to run the command without having root access.

Apply the settings that apply to the applications you have purchased, apply to all clusters managed by Eyeglass products.

Steps to create sudo entries on PowerScale

Edit the sudoer file using the PowerScale isi_visudo command.
Sudo file opens in vi editor.
NOTE: Add lines for the applications you need to enable; each product has different sudo requirements, review each section that applies below.
Save your changes. ( : then type wq!)
Repeat step for each cluster managed by Eyeglass.

SUDO file Updates Required for DR Edition & Airgap Enterprise Protected Clusters

Add the following lines DR product:

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_classic auth ads*

# (new for 2.5.6 DR validation)

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_classic domain info*

entries should be deleted for 2.5.6 or later releases

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_classic networks* (only required if cluster is 7.x.x.x)

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array isi status*

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi status*

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array date +%s

#required for new quota failover process for 2.6.0 or later releases

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_classic quota*

SUDO File Updates Required for Cluster Storage Monitor Unlock My Files Product

Add the following lines:

#(new Nov 12, 2019 for 2.5.5 latest release Cluster Storage Monitor UnLock My files

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -s isi_run -z ?* isi_classic smb file*

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array isi_run -z ?* isi_classic smb file*

AirGap Cyber Vault deployments on all the protected clusters

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -n ? whoami; hostname
eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -n ?? whoami; hostname

The new entries for Cluster Storage Monitor UnLock My files are for 9.3 isilons and the later version:

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -s isi smb openfiles list *

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array isi smb openfiles close *

# airgap enterprise permissions to ping the vault cluster

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -n ? ping *

eyeglass ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/isi_for_array -n ?? ping *

How to Restart Eyeglass services after making permissions changes:

SSH to Eyeglass appliance
Type: sudo su - (to elevate to root user - enter the admin user password)
Type: systemctl restart sca
Type: systemctl status sca (to verify sca service active and running after the restart)

How to use Eyeglass DR Edition with Compliance Mode Clusters

For clusters using compliance mode sudoer and root access is not permitted.

This means that clusters must be added to Eyeglass using the user below:

Complete the form as per below example. User name eyeglass with administrator role assigned and set a password.

How to create the Airgap Eyeglass Service Account for the Vault Cluster

Follow these steps on the vault cluster during vault cluster hardening. Replace the yellow with a strong password, the security officer or security personnel should only know that.

NOTE: The protected production cluster requires additional sudo permissions for vault alarm collection and Enterprise vault secure tunnel communications to Ransomware Defender. See the eyeglass service account update section for the eyeglass service account.
