Step 1: Enable security in Portworx for FlashArray

This document guides you through enabling PX-Security in your cluster by adding a single flag to your StorageCluster object.

Overview

The Operator includes first-class support for PX-Security in the StorageCluster spec. This means that the operator will auto-generate the following for you if security is enabled:

  • Shared Secret stored under the secret px-shared-secret
  • Admin token stored under the secret px-admin-token
  • User token stored under the secret px-user-token

Enabling Security in your cluster

  1. Enable security under spec.security of your StorageCluster:

    apiVersion: core.libopenstorage.org/v1
    kind: StorageCluster
    metadata:
    name: portworx
    namespace: <px-namespace>
    spec:
    image: portworx/oci-monitor:2.6.0.1
    security:
    enabled: true
  2. You can now apply the StorageCluster spec and wait until Portworx is ready.

Once you've enabled security in Portworx, continue to the next section.
