Hi Joe, I know how the TLS works, but what is the MTLS in your email reference anything different from TLS in terms of config. -- Deepak On Mar 21, 2017, at 2:51 AM, Joseph Lorenzini mailto:jalo...@gmail.com>> wrote: Hi Deepak, The starting point would be that link you initially provided. In

Hi Deepak, The starting point would be that link you initially provided. In terms of help, could you elaborate more on what you are looking for? Do you need a high level primer on how to create a chain-of-trust with openssl? Certificate management? Or are you looking for more on how to properly pr

Thanks Joe for your inputs. I guess comparing client -- glusterServer IO performance over MTLS and non-MTLS should give me some idea on the client/server IO overhead. Also any URL related to setup & configuring MTLS is appreciated. -- Deepak On Mar 19, 2017, at 7:00 AM, Joseph Lorenzini mai

Hi Deepak, Sorta. I think it depends on what we mean by I/O path and performance. If we are referring to disk I/O for gluster servers, then no. If we are referring to the network I/O between a gluster client and server, than yes there will by definition be some additional overhead. That however i

Hi Joe, thanks for taking time for explaining. I am having basic set of requirements along with IO performance as key factor, my reply below should justify what I am trying to achieve. >>If I am understanding your use case properly, you want to ensure that a >>client may only mount a gluster vo

Hi Deepak, I am little confused about what you are trying to accomplish here. If I am understanding your use case properly, you want to ensure that a client may only mount a gluster volume if and only if it presents a key or secret that attests to the client's identity, which the gluster server ca

Thanks Joseph for info. >>In addition, gluster uses MTLS (each endpoint validate's the other's >>chain-of-trust), so you get authentication as well. Does it only do authentication of mounts. I am not interested at this moment on IO path encryption only looking for authentication. >>you can se

Hi Deepak, Here's the TLDR If you don't want the I/O path to be encrypted but you want to control access to a gluster volume, you can set the auth.allow and auth.reject options to whitelist and blacklist clients based on their source IPs. There's also always iptables rules if you don't want to do

Hello, Is there a way like cephFS where a keyring can be passed for mount. I see SSL in GlusterFS something secured mount based on pem & key files, but I am bit confused where these are only for mount authentication or for IO path encryption. I only want authorized Glusterfs mount based on keys
