merrimanr opened a new pull request #1308: METRON-1945: Metron MPack support 
for Knox SSO setup
URL: https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1308
 
 
   ## Contributor Comments
   This PR is based on https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1275 and adds 
Ambari MPack support for enabling Metron on Knox.  This makes the setup process 
simpler, consisting of only a couple steps.
   
   ### Changes Included
   
   - Added code to the Ambari METRON_CLIENT component that performs the 
necessary setup/installation for Metron on Knox
   - Added `metron.knox.enabled` and `metron.knox.sso.pubkey` properties to 
Ambari
   - Added Metron Knox topology files as templates in Ambari so the correct 
hosts can be configured automatically
   - Added `app-config.json` files as templates in Ambari so the correct paths 
can be configured automatically
   - Added a check for LDAP, throwing an error message if it is not enabled
   - Added logic to populate the Spring active profiles and options on REST 
startup
   
   ### Testing
   
   This has been tested in full dev.  The setup steps are similar to 
https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1275 but should be substantially simpler 
with less manual work involved:
   
   1. Add Knox as a Service in Ambari (Admin > Stacks and Versions > Add 
Service next to Knox)
   2. Verify the LDAP check is working.  Navigate to `Ambari > Metron > Configs 
> Security` and set `Knox Enabled` to true.  Restart the Metron REST component 
and it should fail with this error:
   ```
   Enabling Metron with Knox requires LDAP authentication.  Please set `Knox 
Enabled` to true in the Metron Security tab.
   ```
   Change `Knox Enabled` back to false and save.
   
   3. Follow the instructions 
[here](https://github.com/apache/metron/tree/master/metron-deployment/development#knox-demo-ldap)
 to enable the Knox LDAP in full dev.  You should be able to authentication 
with REST using guest/guest-password after this is done.
   4. A Metron Client instance is required on all Knox Gateway hosts.  Navigate 
to `Ambari > Hosts > node1` and select the `Install clients` option in the 
dropdown next to the clients, at the bottom of the `Components` section.  This 
should install the Metron Client.
   5. Get the Knox public key with the following command on full dev:
   ```
   openssl s_client -connect node1:8443 < /dev/null | openssl x509 | grep -v 
'CERTIFICATE' | paste -sd "" -
   ```
   Copy the output of that command and paste to the Ambari setting at `Metron > 
Configs > Security > Knox SSO Public Key`.  Change the `Knox Enabled` setting 
right above that to true and save.
   
   6. You should be prompted to restart Metron Client, Metron REST, Metron 
Alerts UI and Metron Management UI.  Follow the prompt and restart these 
components.
   
   After REST comes back up Metron should be enabled for Knox.  You should be 
able to follow the instructions in the 
https://github.com/apache/metron/pull/1275 description for verifying that SSO 
is working for all services.
   
   ### Outstanding items
   
   I am still planning on converting the steps in this PR description to a 
`Knox setup` section in our READMEs.
