Put secrets to the vault and enable to read them via policy “hivemq”These instructions assume that the secrets in the vault are in the following structure:

Code Block

language	text

hivemq-poc1
└── opt
    └── hivemq
        ├── conf
        │   ├── key.passphrase
        │   ├── keystore.password
        │   ├── keystore_base64
        │   ├── truststore.password
        │   └── truststore_base64
        └── license
            └── license_base64

To achieve such a structure in the Hashicorp Vault at a kv-2 path, and enable hivemq to read from the path, the following commands in the Hashicorp Vault are used:

Code Block

language	bash

# Enable Vault to store key-value pairs at path hivemq-poc1
vault secrets enable -path=hivemq-poc1 kv-v2

# Create vault secrets from files

cd /tmp

vault kv put hivemq-poc1/opt/hivemq/conf/hivemq.jks.b64 mydata keystore_base64="$(base64 </tmp/hivemqbroker-keystore.jks)" \
  keystore.password=changeme keystorekey.passphrase=changeme
vault kv put hivemq-poc1/opt/hivemq/conf/hivemqtruststore.jks.b64 mydata truststore_base64="$(base64 </tmp/hivemqtruststorebroker-truststore.jks)"
vault kv put hivemq-poc1/opt/hivemq/license/hivemq.lic.b64 "mydata= license_base64="$(base64 </tmp/hivemqhivemq4.lic)"

# Enable hivemq to read from paths
vault policy write hivemq - <<EOF
path "hivemq-poc1/data/opt/hivemq/license" {
   capabilities = ["read"]
}
path "hivemq-poc1/data/opt/hivemq/conf" {
   capabilities = ["read"]
}
EOF

If your secrets in the vault are stored differently, you must adopt the consul-template.hcl accordingly.

Create the HCL template to fetch and decode the secrets: View filenameconsul-template-sidecar.hcla config map with the Consul Template script which will get secrets from the vault and decode them to normal files:
consul-template.yaml

Code Block

language	yaml

apiVersion: v1
kind: ConfigMap
metadata:
  name: consul-template
  namespace: hivemq
data:
  consul-template.hcl: |
    template {
      contents = "{{ with secret (printf \"%s/opt/hivemq/license\" (mustEnv \"TARGET_ENV\")) }}{{ base64Decode .Data.data.license_base64 }}{{ end }}"
      destination = "/opt/hivemq/license/hivemq4.lic"
    }
    template {
      contents = "{{ with secret (printf \"%s/opt/hivemq/conf\" (mustEnv \"TARGET_ENV\")) }}{{ base64Decode .Data.data.keystore_base64 }}{{ end }}"
      destination = "/opt/hivemq/keystore/broker-keystore.jks"
    }
    template {
      contents = "{{ with secret (printf \"%s/opt/hivemq/conf\" (mustEnv \"TARGET_ENV\")) }}{{ base64Decode .Data.data.truststore_base64 }}{{ end }}"
      destination = "/opt/hivemq/keystore/broker-truststore.jks"
