PAM installation

The purpose of this tutorial is to show how to install and configure PAM, to use critical resources without knowing the password required.

 

Prerequisites

The PAM Service is only released as a docker service.

  1. Install docker ( https://docs.docker.com/install/ )
  2. Create a Docker network(*), that network allows you to connect containers to the same bridge network to communicate:
sudo docker network create -d bridge NETWORK_NAME

* That network does not have to be the same network defined to install the Console and Sync Servers.

Installation

Then, the steps required to install PAM are:

  1. Create the storage server container
  2. Create the launcher container
  3. Register storage server in Soffid console.

Fast path to create storage server and launcher containers

To create both, you can download and execute the following script: install-pam.sh.

A brief description about that script:

  1. Creates two volumes, one for the storage and other for the launcher.
  2. Creates a storage server container:
    1. In that container the files and videos recorded will be saved.
    2. All the data will be saved using a key.
    3. By default, it will use the 8081 port.
  3. Generates the user and password to connect the launcher.
  4. Creates a launcher server container:
    1. That container will be in charge of record and send the recording files to the storage.
    2. By default, it will use the 8082 port. 
  5. Generates the encryption key to be used to store the recordings.
  6. Generates the user and password that have to be register on Soffid Console.

 

 

 

You will get something similar to this. When the process is complete, two docker containers should be created: soffid-pam-store and soffid-pam-launcher.

~/Downloads$ bash ./install-pam.sh

Creating store server
=====================
Waiting for store server
Creating launch server
=============================================================
Process completed
Notice: You must register the store server in Soffid console:
User name: bubu-thinkpad
Password : DRFoeOsD02yph7DERNcAZB8jp3b67bO3D/Ax3uS4PbzuBnPbQLhR1lyAu9PFqRJ0
~/Downloads$ docker ps
CONTAINER ID IMAGE                 COMMAND                  CREATED         STATUS         PORTS                    NAMES
854d7aff5c0a soffid/pam-launcher   "/bin/sh -c /opt/sof…"   4 minutes ago   Up 4 minutes   0.0.0.0:8082->8080/tcp   soffid-pam-launcher
7d66a3d3cfa1 soffid/pam-store      "/bin/sh -c /opt/sof…"   4 minutes ago   Up 4 minutes   0.0.0.0:8081->8080/tcp   soffid-pam-store

 

Next, you must open the Jump Server page in Soffid console. At this page, you must register the store and launcher servers, using the user name and password displayed it the previous step:

 

You should

 

 

sudo docker network create -d bridge soffid.internal

 

No tiene que ser la misma red que Consola y SyncServer

 

 

 

sudo docker network create -d bridge soffidnetlab

 

 

bash ./install-pam.sh

 

=============================================================
Process completed
Notice: You must soffid.pat.lab register the store server in Soffid console:

User name: soffid.pat.lab
Password
