Chapter 3. Performing Additional Configuration on Satellite Server
Chapter 3. Performing Additional Configuration on Satellite Server 3.1. Configuring Satellite Server to consume content from a custom CDN If you have an internal Content Delivery Network (CDN) or serve content on an accessible web server, you can configure your Satellite Server to consume Red Hat repositories from this CDN server instead of the Red Hat CDN. A CDN server can be any web server that mirrors repositories in the same directory structure as the Red Hat CDN. You can configure the source of content for each organization. Satellite recognizes automatically which Red Hat repositories from the subscription manifest in your organization are available on your CDN server. Prerequisites You have a CDN server that provides Red Hat content and is accessible by Satellite Server. If your CDN server uses HTTPS, ensure you have uploaded the SSL certificate into Satellite. For more information, see Importing Custom SSL Certificates in Managing content . You have uploaded a manifest to your organization. Procedure In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Subscriptions . Click Manage Manifest . Select the CDN Configuration tab. Select the Custom CDN tab. In the URL field, enter the URL of your CDN server from which you want Satellite Server to consume Red Hat repositories. Optional: In the SSL CA Content Credential , select the SSL certificate of the CDN server. Click Update . You can now enable Red Hat repositories consumed from your internal CDN server. CLI procedure Connect to your Satellite Server using SSH. Set CDN configuration to your custom CDN server: Additional resources Content Delivery Network Structure in Overview, concepts, and deployment considerations 3.2. Configuring Inter-Satellite Synchronization (ISS) Configure Inter-Satellite Synchronization on your disconnected Satellite Server to provide content in your disconnected network. 3.2.1. Inter-Satellite Synchronization scenarios Red Hat Satellite uses Inter-Satellite Synchronization (ISS) to synchronize content between two Satellite Servers including those that are air gapped. You can use ISS in cases such as: If you want to copy some but not all content from your Satellite Server to other Satellite Servers. For example, you have content views that your IT department consumes from Satellite Server, and you want to copy content from those content views to other Satellite Servers. If you want to copy all Library content from your Satellite Server to other Satellite Servers. For example, you have products and repositories that your IT department consumes from Satellite Server in the Library, and you want to copy all products and repositories in that organization to other Satellite Servers. Note You cannot use ISS to synchronize content from Satellite Server to Capsule Server. Capsule Server supports synchronization natively. For more information, see Capsule Server Overview in Overview, concepts, and deployment considerations . There are different ways of using ISS. The way you can use depends on your multi-server setup that can fall to one of the following scenarios. 3.2.1.1. ISS network sync in a disconnected scenario In a disconnected scenario, there is the following setup: The upstream Satellite Server is connected to the Internet. This server consumes content from the Red Hat Content Delivery Network (CDN) or custom sources. The downstream Satellite Server is completely isolated from all external networks. The downstream Satellite Server can communicate with a connected upstream Satellite Server over an internal network. Figure 3.1. Satellite ISS disconnected scenario You can configure your downstream Satellite Server to synchronize content from the upstream Satellite Server over the network. 3.2.1.2. ISS export sync in an air-gapped scenario In an air-gapped scenario, there is the following setup: The upstream Satellite Server is connected to the Internet. This server consumes content from the Red Hat CDN or custom sources. The downstream Satellite Server is completely isolated from all external networks. The downstream Satellite Server does not have a network connection to a connected upstream Satellite Server. Figure 3.2. Satellite ISS air-gapped scenario The only way for an air-gapped downstream Satellite Server to receive content updates is by exporting payload from the upstream Satellite Server, bringing it physically to the downstream Satellite Server, and importing the payload. For more information, see Synchronizing Content Between Satellite Servers in Managing content . You can configure your downstream Satellite Server to synchronize content by using exports. 3.2.2. Configuring Satellite Server to synchronize content by using exports If you deployed your downstream Satellite Server as air gapped, configure your Satellite Server as such to avoid attempts to consume content from a network. Procedure In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Subscriptions . Click Manage Manifest . Switch to the CDN Configuration tab. Select the Export Sync tab. Click Update . CLI procedure Log in to your Satellite Server by using SSH. Set CDN configuration to sync by using exports: Additional resources For more information, see Content synchronization by using export and import in Managing content . 3.2.3. Configuring Satellite Server to synchronize content over a network Configure a downstream Satellite Server to synchronize repositories from a connected upstream Satellite Server over HTTPS. Prerequisites A network connection exists between the upstream Satellite Server and the downstream Satellite Server. You imported the subscription manifest on both the upstream and downstream Satellite Server. On the upstream Satellite Server, you enabled the required repositories for the organization. For more information, see Enabling Red Hat Repositories in Managing content . The upstream user is an admin or has the following permissions: view_organizations view_products export_content view_lifecycle_environments view_content_views On the downstream Satellite Server, you have imported the SSL certificate of the upstream Satellite Server using the contents of http:// upstream-satellite.example.com /pub/katello-server-ca.crt . For more information, see Importing SSL Certificates in Managing content . The downstream user is an admin or has the permissions to create product repositories and organizations. Procedure Navigate to Content > Subscriptions . Click Manage Manifest . Navigate to the CDN Configuration tab. Select the Network Sync tab. In the URL field, enter the address of the upstream Satellite Server. In the Username , enter your username for upstream login. In the Password , enter your password or personal access token for upstream login. In the Organization label field, enter the label of the upstream organization. Optional: In the Lifecycle Environment Label field, enter the label of the upstream lifecycle environment. Default is Library . Optional: In the Content view label field, enter the label of the upstream content view. Default is Default_Organization_View . From the SSL CA Content Credential menu, select a CA certificate used by the upstream Satellite Server. Click Update . In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Content > Products . Select the product that contains the repositories that you want to synchronize. From the Select Action menu, select Sync Now to synchronize all repositories within the product. You can also create a synchronization plan to ensure updates on a regular basis. For more information, see Creating a Synchronization Plan in Managing content . CLI procedure Connect to your downstream Satellite Server using SSH. View information about the upstream CA certificate: Note the ID of the CA certificate for the step. Set CDN configuration to an upstream Satellite Server: The default lifecycle environment label is Library . The default content view label is Default_Organization_View . 3.3. Configuring pull-based transport for remote execution By default, remote execution uses push-based SSH as the transport mechanism for the Script provider. If your infrastructure prohibits outgoing connections from Satellite Server to hosts, you can use remote execution with pull-based transport instead, because the host initiates the connection to Satellite Server. The use of pull-based transport is not limited to those infrastructures. The pull-based transport comprises pull-mqtt mode on Capsules in combination with a pull client running on hosts. Note The pull-mqtt mode works only with the Script provider. Ansible and other providers will continue to use their default transport settings. Procedure Enable the pull-based transport on your Satellite Server: Configure the firewall to allow the MQTT service on port 1883: Make the changes persistent: In pull-mqtt mode, hosts subscribe for job notifications to either your Satellite Server or any Capsule Server through which they are registered. Ensure that Satellite Server sends remote execution jobs to that same Satellite Server or Capsule Server: In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Settings . On the Content tab, set the value of Prefer registered through Capsule for remote execution to Yes . steps Configure your hosts for the pull-based transport. For more information, see Transport modes for remote execution in Managing hosts . 3.4. Enabling power management on hosts To perform power management tasks on hosts using the intelligent platform management interface (IPMI) or a similar protocol, you must enable the baseboard management controller (BMC) module on Satellite Server. Prerequisites All hosts must have a network interface of BMC type. Satellite Server uses this NIC to pass the appropriate credentials to the host. For more information, see Adding a Baseboard Management Controller (BMC) Interface in Managing hosts . Procedure To enable BMC, enter the following command: 3.5. Configuring DNS, DHCP, and TFTP You can manage DNS, DHCP, and TFTP centrally within the Satellite environment, or you can manage them independently after disabling their maintenance on Satellite. You can also run DNS, DHCP, and TFTP externally, outside of the Satellite environment. 3.5.1. Configuring DNS, DHCP, and TFTP on Satellite Server To configure the DNS, DHCP, and TFTP services on Satellite Server, use the satellite-installer command with the options appropriate for your environment. Any changes to the settings require entering the satellite-installer command again. You can enter the command multiple times and each time it updates all configuration files with the changed values. Prerequisites Ensure that the following information is available to you: DHCP IP address ranges DHCP gateway IP address DHCP nameserver IP address DNS information TFTP server name Use the FQDN instead of the IP address where possible in case of network changes. Contact your network administrator to ensure that you have the correct settings. Procedure Enter the satellite-installer command with the options appropriate for your environment. The following example shows configuring full provisioning services: You can monitor the progress of the satellite-installer command displayed in your prompt. You can view the logs in /var/log/foreman-installer/satellite.log . Additional resources For more information about the satellite-installer command, enter satellite-installer --help . 3.5.2. Disabling DNS, DHCP, and TFTP for unmanaged networks If you want to manage TFTP, DHCP, and DNS services manually, you must prevent Satellite from maintaining these services on the operating system and disable orchestration to avoid DHCP and DNS validation errors. However, Satellite does not remove the back-end services on the operating system. Procedure On Satellite Server, enter the following command: In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Subnets and select a subnet. Click the Capsules tab and clear the DHCP Capsule , TFTP Capsule , and Reverse DNS Capsule fields. In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Infrastructure > Domains and select a domain. Clear the DNS Capsule field. Optional: If you use a DHCP service supplied by a third party, configure your DHCP server to pass the following options: For more information about DHCP options, see RFC 2132 . Note Satellite does not perform orchestration when a Capsule is not set for a given subnet and domain. When enabling or disabling Capsule associations, orchestration commands for existing hosts can fail if the expected records and configuration files are not present. When associating a Capsule to turn orchestration on, ensure the required DHCP and DNS records as well as the TFTP files are in place for the existing Satellite hosts in order to prevent host deletion failures in the future. 3.5.3. Additional resources For more information about configuring DNS, DHCP, and TFTP externally, see Chapter 4, Configuring Satellite Server with external services . For more information about configuring DHCP, DNS, and TFTP services, see Configuring Network Services in Provisioning hosts . 3.6. Configuring Satellite Server for outgoing emails To send email messages from Satellite Server, you can use either an SMTP server, or the sendmail command. Prerequisites Some SMTP servers with anti-spam protection or grey-listing features are known to cause problems. To setup outgoing email with such a service either install and configure a vanilla SMTP service on Satellite Server for relay or use the sendmail command instead. Procedure In the Satellite web UI, navigate to Administer > Settings . Click the Email tab and set the configuration options to match your preferred delivery method. The changes have an immediate effect. The following example shows the configuration options for using an SMTP server: Table 3.1. Using an SMTP server as a delivery method Name Example value Delivery method SMTP SMTP address smtp.example.com SMTP authentication login SMTP HELO/EHLO domain example.com SMTP password password SMTP port 25 SMTP username user@example.com The SMTP username and SMTP password specify the login credentials for the SMTP server. The following example uses gmail.com as an SMTP server: Table 3.2. Using gmail.com as an SMTP server Name Example value Delivery method SMTP SMTP address smtp.gmail.com SMTP authentication plain SMTP HELO/EHLO domain smtp.gmail.com SMTP enable StartTLS auto Yes SMTP password password SMTP port 587 SMTP username user @gmail.com The following example uses the sendmail command as a delivery method: Table 3.3. Using sendmail as a delivery method Name Example value Delivery method Sendmail Sendmail location /usr/sbin/sendmail Sendmail arguments -i For security reasons, both Sendmail location and Sendmail argument settings are read-only and can be only set in /etc/foreman/settings.yaml . Both settings currently cannot be set via satellite-installer . For more information see the sendmail 1 man page. If you decide to send email using an SMTP server which uses TLS authentication, also perform one of the following steps: Mark the CA certificate of the SMTP server as trusted. To do so, execute the following commands on Satellite Server: Where mailca.crt is the CA certificate of the SMTP server. Alternatively, in the Satellite web UI, set the SMTP enable StartTLS auto option to No . Click Test email to send a test message to the user's email address to confirm the configuration is working. If a message fails to send, the Satellite web UI displays an error. See the log at /var/log/foreman/production.log for further details. Additional resources For information on configuring email notifications for individual users or user groups, see Configuring Email Notification Preferences in Administering Red Hat Satellite . 3.7. Configuring Satellite Server with a custom SSL certificate By default, Red Hat Satellite uses a self-signed SSL certificate to enable encrypted communications between Satellite Server, external Capsule Servers, and all hosts. If you cannot use a Satellite self-signed certificate, you can configure Satellite Server to use an SSL certificate signed by an external certificate authority (CA). When you configure Red Hat Satellite with custom SSL certificates, you must fulfill the following requirements: You must use the privacy-enhanced mail (PEM) encoding for the SSL certificates. You must not use the same SSL certificate for both Satellite Server and Capsule Server. The same CA must sign certificates for Satellite Server and Capsule Server. An SSL certificate must not also be a CA certificate. An SSL certificate must include a subject alt name (SAN) entry that matches the common name (CN). An SSL certificate must be allowed for Key Encipherment using a Key Usage extension. An SSL certificate must not have a shortname as the CN. You must not set a passphrase for the private key. To configure your Satellite Server with a custom certificate, complete the following procedures: Section 3.7.1, "Creating a custom SSL certificate for Satellite Server" Section 3.7.2, "Deploying a custom SSL certificate to Satellite Server" Section 3.7.3, "Deploying a custom SSL certificate to hosts" If you have external Capsule Servers registered to Satellite Server, configure them with custom SSL certificates. For more information, see Configuring Capsule Server with a Custom SSL Certificate in Installing Capsule Server . 3.7.1. Creating a custom SSL certificate for Satellite Server Use this procedure to create a custom SSL certificate for Satellite Server. If you already have a custom SSL certificate for Satellite Server, skip this procedure. Procedure To store all the source certificate files, create a directory that is accessible only to the root user: Create a private key with which to sign the certificate signing request (CSR). Note that the private key must be unencrypted. If you use a password-protected private key, remove the private key password. If you already have a private key for this Satellite Server, skip this step. Create the /root/satellite_cert/openssl.cnf configuration file for the CSR and include the following content: Optional: If you want to add Distinguished Name (DN) details to the CSR, add the following information to the [ req_distinguished_name ] section: 1 Two letter code 2 Full name 3 Full name (example: New York) 4 Division responsible for the certificate (example: IT department) Generate CSR: 1 Path to the private key 2 Path to the configuration file 3 Path to the CSR to generate Send the certificate signing request to the certificate authority (CA). The same CA must sign certificates for Satellite Server and Capsule Server. When you submit the request, specify the lifespan of the certificate. The method for sending the certificate request varies, so consult the CA for the preferred method. In response to the request, you can expect to receive a CA bundle and a signed certificate, in separate files. 3.7.2. Deploying a custom SSL certificate to Satellite Server Use this procedure to configure your Satellite Server to use a custom SSL certificate signed by a Certificate Authority. The katello-certs-check command validates the input certificate files and returns the commands necessary to deploy a custom SSL certificate to Satellite Server. Important Do not store the SSL certificates or .tar bundles in /tmp or /var/tmp directory. The operating system removes files from these directories periodically. As a result, satellite-installer fails to execute while enabling features or upgrading Satellite Server. Procedure Validate the custom SSL certificate input files. Note that for the katello-certs-check command to work correctly, Common Name (CN) in the certificate must match the FQDN of Satellite Server. 1 Path to Satellite Server certificate file that is signed by a Certificate Authority. 2 Path to the private key that was used to sign Satellite Server certificate. 3 Path to the Certificate Authority bundle. If the command is successful, it returns two satellite-installer commands, one of which you must use to deploy a certificate to Satellite Server. Example output of katello-certs-check Note that you must not access or modify /root/ssl-build . From the output of the katello-certs-check command, depending on your requirements, enter the satellite-installer command that installs a new Satellite with custom SSL certificates or updates certificates on a currently running Satellite. If you are unsure which command to run, you can verify that Satellite is installed by checking if the file /etc/foreman-installer/scenarios.d/.installed exists. If the file exists, run the second satellite-installer command that updates certificates. Important satellite-installer needs the certificate archive file after you deploy the certificate. Do not modify or delete it. It is required, for example, when upgrading Satellite Server. On a computer with network access to Satellite Server, navigate to the following URL: https://satellite.example.com . In your browser, view the certificate details to verify the deployed certificate. 3.7.3. Deploying a custom SSL certificate to hosts After you configure Satellite to use a custom SSL certificate, you must deploy the certificate to hosts registered to Satellite. Procedure Update the SSL certificate on each host: 3.8. Using external databases with Satellite As part of the installation process for Red Hat Satellite, the satellite-installer command installs PostgreSQL databases on the same server as Satellite. In certain Satellite deployments, using external databases instead of the default local databases can help with the server load. Red Hat does not provide support or tools for external database maintenance. This includes backups, upgrades, and database tuning. You must have your own database administrator to support and maintain external databases. To create and use external databases for Satellite, you must complete the following procedures: Section 3.8.2, "Preparing a host for external databases" . Prepare a host for the external databases. Section 3.8.3, "Installing PostgreSQL" . Prepare PostgreSQL with databases for Satellite, Candlepin and Pulp with dedicated users owning them. Section 3.8.4, "Configuring Satellite Server to use external databases" . Edit the parameters of satellite-installer to point to the new databases, and run satellite-installer . 3.8.1. PostgreSQL as an external database considerations Foreman, Katello, and Candlepin use the PostgreSQL database. If you want to use PostgreSQL as an external database, the following information can help you decide if this option is right for your Satellite configuration. Satellite supports PostgreSQL version 13. Advantages of external PostgreSQL Increase in free memory and free CPU on Satellite Flexibility to set shared_buffers on the PostgreSQL database to a high number without the risk of interfering with other services on Satellite Flexibility to tune the PostgreSQL server's system without adversely affecting Satellite operations Disadvantages of external PostgreSQL Increase in deployment complexity that can make troubleshooting more difficult The external PostgreSQL server is an additional system to patch and maintain If either Satellite or the PostgreSQL database server suffers a hardware or storage failure, Satellite is not operational If there is latency between the Satellite server and database server, performance can suffer If you suspect that the PostgreSQL database on your Satellite is causing performance problems, use the information in Satellite 6: How to enable postgres query logging to detect slow running queries to determine if you have slow queries. Queries that take longer than one second are typically caused by performance issues with large installations, and moving to an external database might not help. If you have slow queries, contact Red Hat Support. 3.8.2. Preparing a host for external databases Install a freshly provisioned system with the latest Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 or Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 to host the external databases. Subscriptions for Red Hat Enterprise Linux do not provide the correct service level agreement for using Satellite with external databases. You must also attach a Satellite subscription to the base operating system that you want to use for the external databases. Prerequisites The prepared host must meet Satellite's Storage Requirements . You must attach a Satellite subscription to your server. For more information about subscription, see Attaching the Satellite Infrastructure Subscription in Installing Satellite Server in a connected network environment . Procedure Select the operating system and version you are installing external database on: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 3.8.2.1. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9 Disable all repositories: Enable the following repositories: Verification Verify that the required repositories are enabled: 3.8.2.2. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8 Disable all repositories: Enable the following repositories: Enable the following module: Note Enablement of the module satellite:el8 warns about a conflict with postgresql:10 and ruby:2.5 as these modules are set to the default module versions on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. The module satellite:el8 has a dependency for the modules postgresql:12 and ruby:2.7 that will be enabled with the satellite:el8 module. These warnings do not cause installation process failure, hence can be ignored safely. For more information about modules and lifecycle streams on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8, see Red Hat Enterprise Linux Application Streams Lifecycle . Verification Verify that the required repositories are enabled: 3.8.3. Installing PostgreSQL You can install only the same version of PostgreSQL that is installed with the satellite-installer tool during an internal database installation. Satellite supports PostgreSQL version 12. Procedure To install PostgreSQL, enter the following command: To initialize PostgreSQL, enter the following command: Edit the /var/lib/pgsql/data/postgresql.conf file: Note that the default configuration of external PostgreSQL needs to be adjusted to work with Satellite. The base recommended external database configuration adjustments are as follows: checkpoint_completion_target: 0.9 max_connections: 500 shared_buffers: 512MB work_mem: 4MB Remove the # and edit to listen to inbound connections: Add the following line to the end of the file to use SCRAM for authentication: Edit the /var/lib/pgsql/data/pg_hba.conf file: Add the following line to the file: To start, and enable PostgreSQL service, enter the following commands: Open the postgresql port on the external PostgreSQL server: Make the changes persistent: Switch to the postgres user and start the PostgreSQL client: Create three databases and dedicated roles: one for Satellite, one for Candlepin, and one for Pulp: Connect to the Pulp database: Create the hstore extension: Exit the postgres user: From Satellite Server, test that you can access the database. If the connection succeeds, the commands return 1 . 3.8.4. Configuring Satellite Server to use external databases Use the satellite-installer command to configure Satellite to connect to an external PostgreSQL database. Prerequisites You have installed and configured a PostgreSQL database on a Red Hat Enterprise Linux server. Procedure To configure the external databases for Satellite, enter the following command: To enable the Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) protocol for these external databases, add the following options:
