Description:
APPLIANCE DESCRIPTION
Provides an easy to deploy and manage centralised OpenPGP compatible encryption resource. Appliance can be deployed in minutes, especially using VMware. Files that are copied to the appliance via FTP or SMB(Windows file sharing) are automatically encrypted/decrypted and then copied to remote destinations. For compliance reasons every step of the process is logged.
Built on a stripped down version of Redhat 8 Linux. All components not required by the appliance were completely removed. Key components used by the application are as follows:-
Apache WEB Server
PostgreSQL database
GNU Privacy Guard (GPG)
VSFPD FTP Server
Custom modules have been written using C++ and are built into custom RPM packages.
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
Networking has been set to use DHCP.
1. First login to the system console using the following credentials:-
User: root
Password: lexicon
2. If starting the appliance from a suspended state type “service network restart” to restart the network and receive an automatically assigned DHCP IP address.
3. Determine the DHCP assigned IP address by typing “ifconfig | grep inet” the IP address will be displayed immediately below the command you just typed.
This will provide you with the information required to connect to the appliance using the WEB console.
4. Open a WEB browser and type “https://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx should be replaced with the IP address from step 3.
5. The WEB console login page should be displayed. Login using the following credentials:-
User: admin
Password: eesadmin
6. The appliance summary page should now be displayed. If the appliance was started from a suspended session, some of the services should already be running. If there are “green” icons shown in the summary page this indicates the services are running. Look at the “Outbound Data” (Bottom half of screen) section and check that the following icons are green:-
• FTP Collector
• Encryptor
• FTP Router
7. If any of the services are not running perform the following tasks to start them:-
a. Click the “Data Collectors” tab and click the “Start” button immediately adjacent to the “FTP Collector (Unencrypted Data)” item. The service status should change from “Stopped” to “Running”.
b. Click the “Core Services” tab and click the “Start” button immediately adjacent to the “Encryptor” item. The service status should change from “Stopped” to “Running
c. Click the “Data Routers” tab and click the “Start” button immediately adjacent to the “FTP Router (Encrypted Data)” item. The service status should change from “Stopped” to “Running”.
The appliance has been pre-configured with an “FTP encryption route” that automatically encrypts a file and sends it to a local (on the appliance) directory. Thus, copying a file to a specific URI will automatically encrypt it and move it to a directory. To test this perform the following tasks:-
1. Locate a test file that can be used for testing – suggest you use a simple text file to start with.
2. Rename the file and add a prefix as follows:-
If original filename is “document.txt” rename file to “ftp-document.txt”
3. From the VMware host machine (or other network machine) establish an FTP connection to the appliance – use the IP address from step 3 above. Login using the following default credentials:-
User: ftpein
Password: upload
4. Upload the file.
5. To verify the file has been encrypted login to the system console using the following credentials:-
User: root
Password: lexicon
6. Type “ls /home/eestest” you should see the name of your original file (minus the ftp- prefix). Type “cat /home/eestest/*” you should see the encrypted contents of your original text file.
