Step 1: Enable security in Portworx on OCP on bare metal

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.
