Enable SDO Rendezvous Service on StarlingX¶

Introduction ¶

Secure Device Onboard (SDO) is open source software that is in the process of becoming an industry standard through the FIDO (Fast IDentity Online) alliance. SDO automates the “onboard” process, which occurs when a device establishes the first trusted connection with a device management service.

SDO can be used with x86 and ARM-based devices ranging from small compute IoT devices to higher compute Intel® Xeon® devices. The key requirement is that the device must be manufactured with the necessary credentials and SDO client software.

The SDO process involves interactions between a number of different entities including: Manufacturer, Device, Owner, Rendezvous service, and Device platform service.

This document describes how to enable the SDO Rendezvous (RV) service on StarlingX.

Integration Steps ¶

Complete building all the build layers. See the Layered Build Guide for details.
Build the application exclusively. Enter the flock layer and refer to the Build flock layer steps for details.

Build the application using the commands:

build-pkgs --clean stx-sdo-helm
build-pkgs --dep-test stx-sdo-helm

An example of successful logs is shown below:

Create the system application using the command:

build-helm-charts.sh -a stx-sdo

Sample console output is as follows:

Merging yaml from file: usr/lib/armada/sdo_manifest.yaml
Writing merged yaml file: stx-sdo.yaml
Results:
/localdisk/loadbuild/stx/flock/std/build-helm/stx/stx-sdo-1.0-2.tgz

Exit from the container. The SDO-RV system application will be found in the following location:

$HOME/starlingx/workspace/localdisk/loadbuild/stx/flock/std/build-helm/stx/stx-sdo-<version>.tgz

Copy the application into the home folder of the controller.

Copy the certs folder of the SDO version 1.10 release to the home folder using the command:

curl --progress-bar -LO https://github.com/secure-device-onboard/release/releases/download/v1.10.0/rendezvous-service-v1.10.0.tar.gz
tar -zxf rendezvous-service-v1.10.0.tar.gz

Acquire admin credentials:
```
source /etc/platform/openrc
```
Load the stx-openstack application package into StarlingX. The tarball package contains the stx-openstack FluxCD manifest and stx-openstack set of Helm charts. For example:
```
system application-upload stx-sdo-<version>.tgz
```
Apply the stx-sdo application to bring the SDO Rendevous application into service. If your environment is preconfigured with a proxy server, make sure the HTTPS proxy is set before applying stx-sdo.
```
system application-apply stx-sdo
```
Check the application status using the command:
```
system application-show stx-sdo
```

When the SDO Rendezvous application is in service, you will see the RV service and redis DB pods running. For example:

[sysadmin@controller-0 ~(keystone_admin)]$ kubectl get pods -n kube-system
NAME                         READY   STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
redis-6d76cdd759-wpnv7       1/1     Running   0          11d
