Introduction

This article explains configuration items available for Standalone Agents, Director Agents and Subagents in a JS7 - Agent Cluster.

An Agent makes use of two configuration files:
- the agent.conf general configuration file which is found in the following locations:
  - Windows: C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent\var\config\agent.conf
  - Unix /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent/var/config/agent.conf
- the private.conf security configuration file which is found in the following locations:
  - Windows: C:\ProgramData\sos-berlin.com\js7\agent\var\config\private.conf
  - Unix: /var/sos-berlin.com/js7/agent/var/config/private/private.conf
- The configuration format makes use of Typesafe Config, see the JS7 - Configuration Format article.
- Restart the Agent instance to apply changes to any configuration files.
For HTTPS configuration refer to the JS7 - Configuration Templates article.

`node`
	`Primary`	`<url>`
	`Backup`	`<url>`
	`is-backup`	`<yes>yes\|<no>no`

This setting is used for Director Agent instances in cluster mode only, it is not used for standalone Director Agent instances.
The registration of Primary and Secondary Director Agent instances is performed by the JOC Cockpit during initial operation.
- Therefore the only setting required for cluster operation is:
  - js7.journal.cluster.node.is-backup=yes: For a Secondary Director Agent instance this setting specifies that during initial operation the given instance will be the inactive standby node.
- Additional settings can be applied. However, we recommend that the JOC Cockpit is used instead.
  - nodes
    - Primary, Backup: For a Primary Director Agent instance this setting specifies the URLs of the Primary and Backup (Secondary) instance. The URL includes specification of the http/https protocol, the hostname and port.

...

Explanation:

The Agent verifies the signature signatures of scheduling objects such as workflows during deployment. This can be performed for PGP and X.509 signatures.
The trusted-signature-keys setting specifies the location of PGP public keys and X.509 certificates.
If no PGP public keys are used or if no X.509 certificates are used then this setting should not be used as it expects the indicated directory to be populated with public keys or certificates respectively.

...

It is essential that the connections between Controller and Agents and between Director Agents and Subagents are secured. This includes:

using HTTPS connections which are secured by private keys and certificates,
using authentication between JS7 products:
- Option 1 (recommended):
  - applying TLS mutual authentication between Controller and Agent,
  - applying TLS mutual authentication between Director Agent instances and Subagents in an Agent Cluster.
- Option 2:
  - applying password authentication between components JS7 products should mutual authentication not be in place.

...

This setting applies to the use of an Agent with a Standalone Controller or with a Controller Cluster.
Note that the Controller element name is an example that has to be replaced by the Controller ID which is specified with the same value during installation of Controller instances.

The distinguished-names element identifies the Controller instance's Client Authentication certificate. The certificate acts as a replacement for a password.

The Agent configuration specifies the distinguished names of the Controller instances that access the Agent by use of a Client Authentication certificate. For a Standalone Controller there is a single distinguished name, for a Controller Cluster each instance's distinguished name is specified.
Except for whitespace between attributes the precise sequence and values as available from the certificate's subject have to match this property value.
Note that the common name Note that the common name (CN) element in the distinguished name has to match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a Controller instance's host.

The following command can be used to read the distinguished name from a certificate file:

Explanation:

This setting applies to use of an Agent with a Standalone Controller or with a Controller Cluster.
Note that the Controller element name is an example that has to be replaced by the Controller ID which is specified with the same value during installation of both cluster Controller instances.
This setting specifies the password indicated with the Controller instance's js7.auth.agents configuration item. Passwords should be quoted.
- The password can be specified as plain text preceded by plain:.
- The password can be specified as a hashed value preceded by sha512:.
  - There are a number of ways to create sha512 hash values from passwords.
  - One possible solution includes using: echo -n "secret" | openssl dgst -sha512

Director Agent Configuration

This setting applies to use of the Subagent component within a Director Agent instance in a JS7 - Agent Cluster.
Note that the subagent-id element name is an example that has to be replaced by the Subagent ID of the pairing Director Agent instance which is specified during configuration of the Agent Cluster. This is not the Agent Cluster ID. For the private.conf file of a Primary Director Agent instance this setting holds the Subagent ID of the Secondary Director Agent instance and vice versa.
The permissions element should be used as indicated.

The distinguished-names element identifies the pairing Director Agent instance's Client Authentication certificate. The certificate acts as a replacement for a password.

Except for whitespace between attributes the precise sequence and values as available from the certificate's subject have to match this property value.
Note that the common name (CN) element in the distinguished name has to match the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of a Director Agent instance's host.

Explanation:

HTTPS keystore and truststore truststores are used to hold private keys and certificates.
- Keystore and truststore settings accept the path to a file in PKCS12 format or in PEM format.
- The keystore holds the Agent's private key and certificate. This information is used:
  - for Server Authentication with JOC Cockpit and
  - for Client Authentication with Agents.
- The truststore holds the certificate(s) used to verify:
  - Client Authentication certificates presented by a Controller and
  - Server Authentication certificates challenged by pairing Controllers.
- A number of truststores can be specified.
Optionally a separate HTTPS client keystore can be used:
- The client keystore is used for HTTPS TLS mutual authentication and holds a private key and certificate created for Client Auth extended key usage.
- When using HTTPS TLS mutual authentication then:
  - a single certificate can be used that is generated for both Server Auth and Client Auth extended key use. In this case do not use the HTTPS client keystore but use the HTTPS keystore to hold the certificate.
  - separate certificates can be used with the certificate for Server Auth key usage being stored with the HTTPS keystore and the certificate for Client Auth key use being stored with the HTTPS client keystore.

  serverId 6dc67751-9d67-34cd-985b-194a8cdc9602
  key JS-1959
Keystore and Truststore locations are specified. In addition:
- a password for the private keys included in the keystore and a password for access to the keystore can be specified,
- for the truststore a password for access to the truststore can be specified.
Passwords for keystore and truststore are not intended for security of the configuration, they are used to verify the integrity of certificate stores as the password used for creating and reading the certificate store must be the same.
- The key-password is used for access to a private key in a keystore.
- The store-password setting is used for access to a keystore or to a truststore.
- For PKCS12 keystores both settings have to use the same value. The settings can be omitted if no passwords are used.
The alias setting can be used for example with a keystore that holds a number of private keys from which the relevant private key is selected by its alias name.

Summary of Configuration Items

The Agent detects and makes use of the code page used by the Windows OS
- for code pages from the above list,
- for code pages that are prefixed with cp# or CP# with # being the number of the code page.
Users can enforce use of a supported code page by adding a setting to the Agent's JS7_AGENT_CONFIG_DIR/agent.conf configuration file such as:
- js7.job.execution.encoding = "UTF-8"
This setting specifies the MIME type not the numeric code page identifier, for example UTF-8 instead of 65001.
Default: the default code page of the Windows operating system is used, for example, 932 for Japan, 850 for Western Europe.

...

`js7`	`job`	`execution`
			`signed-script-injection-allowed`	`<yes>yes\|<no>no`

By default the Agent prevents any commands and scripts from being executed except for scripts located in specific directories. This setting allows any commands and scripts to be executed that the workflow has signed and where the signature has been verified.

...


`trusted-signature-keys`
	`PGP`	`<directory>`
	`X509`	`<directory>`

The Agent expects a signature receives signatures for any deployed objects such as workflows. Such signatures are created with a private key and are verified by the Agent according to the available certificates.
When deploying objects with JOC Cockpit:
- for a low Security Level JOC Cockpit creates the signature from a single private key that is used for any JOC Cockpit user accounts allowed to deploy objects.
- for a medium Security Level JOC Cockpit creates the signature from the private key of the JOC Cockpit user account that deploys objects.
- for a high Security Level the user creates the signature outside of JOC Cockpit and uploads the files holding scheduling objects and signatures.
The Agent supports PGP public keys and X.509 certificates. This setting expects a directory that holds a number of public key files or certificate files.
trusted-signature-keys
- PGP: specifies the directory from which PGP public keys are used to verify the signature signatures of deployed objects.
- X509: specifies specifies the directory from which X.509 certificates are used to verify the signature signatures of deployed objects.

An additional authentication mechanism is applied when using HTTPS certificates or public keys for incoming connections, see below: the client of the incoming connection, i.e. a Controller, is required to provide a Client Authentication Certificateincoming connections. This includes two certificates that are in place for a secure HTTPS connection: the Agent's a Server Authentication Certificate and the Controller's a Client Authentication Certificate.
- The fact that a given certificate is to be used for Server Authentication and/or Client Authentication is specified with the key usage when the certificate is being created and signed.
- The distinguished name that is specified with the Agent's configuration has to match the Client Authentication Certificate's subject attribute of the Controller. This attribute specifies the hostname and additional information that is created when the certificate or public key is generated.
js7.auth.users.Controller
- Settings in this section are used for incoming HTTPS connections from Controller instances.
- distinguished-names:
  - Specifies the distinguished name as given with the subject of the Client Authentication Certificate for incoming HTTPS connections from a Controller.
  - Any number of One or two distinguished names can be specified allowing a number of incoming HTTPS connections from different Controllersincoming HTTPS connections from a Standalone Controller or Controller Cluster.
- password
  - As an alternative to TLS mutual authentication a password can be specified.
js7.auth.subagents
- Settings in this section are used for outgoing HTTPS connections from Director Agent instances to Subagents.

js7.web.https: HTTPS Certificates


`keystore`
	`file`	`<path>`
	`key-password`	`<text>``<password>`
	`store-password`	`<text>``<password>`
	`alias<text>`	`<identifier>`

`truststores`
	`file`	`<path>`
	`store-password`	`<text>``<password>`
	`alias<text>`	`<identifier>`

This setting is used to specify the location of a keystore and any truststores used for HTTPS connections.
Keystore and truststore files are expected in PKCS12 format or in PEM format.
keystore
- The keystore includes the private key for the Agent's incoming HTTPS connections.
- Private key types RSA and ECDSA are supported.
- file: the full path to the location of the keystore file is expected.
  - Default: ${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-keystore.p12"
- key-password: Any keys included with the keystore are protected with a password. The same password has to be used for all private keys in the given keystore.
- store-password: The keystore file is protected by a password.
- alias: can be used for example with a keystore that holds a number of private keys from which the relevant private key is selected by its alias name.
client-keystore
- Use of this setting is optional. It can be used if separate certificates for Server Authentication and Client Authentication are used.
- The Client Authentication private key and certificate can be added to this keystore.
- Included configuration items correspond to the keystore setting.
truststores
- A truststore contains the certificates or public keys for the Agent's incoming HTTPS connections.
  - Certificates are signed by a Certificate Authority (CA) - alternatively a self-signed certificate can be used.
  - It is recommended that certificates are used instead of public keys.
  - Certificates of type X.509 are supported.
- file: the path to the location of the truststore file is expected.
  - Default: ${js7.config-directory}"/private/https-truststore.p12"
- store-password: A truststore file is protected by a password.
- alias: can be used for example with a truststore that holds a number of certificates from which the relevant certificate is selected by its alias name.
- A number of truststores can be specified by repeating the file and store-password settings.

`js7`	`web`	`server`
			`auth`
				`https-client-authentication`	<on`on``\|off>``off`

This setting is used to specify the authentication type for HTTPS connections to an Agent.
https-client-authentication
- The value on (default) specifies that mutual authentication with certificates for Server Authentication and Client Authentication is used.
- The value off specifies that only HTTP Basic Authentication is used.
By default JS7 makes use of mutual authentication including both Server and Client Authentication Certificates. This setting can be switched off to use Server Authentication Certificates only.
