Enabling TLS for Dremio UI on Azure
This topic describes how to enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Dremio UI on Azure.
In Dremio 24+, the keyStorePassword
property can be encrypted using the dremio-admin encrypt
CLI command.
To enable Transport Layer Security (TLS) for Dremio, determine which of the following methods you want to implement:
- Self-signed certificate
- CA-certified certificate
Enabling TLS with a Self-Signed Certificate
To enable TLS with a self-signed certificate:
-
Go to Resource groups > YourResourceName > Overview.
-
Click on <DremioClusterName>-master.
-
Locate the DNS name for the master node. In the following sample screenshot, the DNS name is
dremio-master-3kwnfmvg62gfe.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
. -
Access the Dremio cluster master node on Azure via the DNS name and become root. For example, using a terminal window, SSH to the Azure IP address with the username and password that you provided during the initial configuration.
SSH to the Azure IP addressssh azuser@dremio-master-3kwnfmvg62gfe.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
Password:
$ sudo su - -
Configure Dremio by editing the /opt/dremio/conf/dremio.conf file and adding the following properties to the end of the file.
services.coordinator.web.ssl.enabled: true
services.coordinator.web.ssl.auto-certificate.enabled: true
-
Restart the Dremio service. See Start, Stop, and Status for RPM commands.
Restart Dremio serviceservice dremio restart
-
Log into the Dremio UI:
Log in to Dremio UIhttps://<dremio master DNS name>:9047
Self-signed certificates are not secure unless you can verify the certificate in the browser (by comparing fingerprints for example).
Enabling TLS with a CA-certified Certificate
To enable TLS with a CA-certified certificate:
-
Go to Resource groups > YourResourceName > Overview.
-
Click on <DremioClusterName>-master.
-
Locate the DNS name for the master node. In the following sample screenshot, the DNS name is
dremio-master-3kwnfmvg62gfe.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
. -
Access the Dremio cluster master node on Azure via the DNS name and become root. For example, using a terminal window, SSH to the Azure IP address with the username and password that you provided during the initial configuration.
SSH to Azure IP addressssh azuser@dremio-master-3kwnfmvg62gfe.westus2.cloudapp.azure.com
Password:
sudo su - -
Obtain a TLS certificate for your DNS Name. For example, if you are using Let's Encrypt, install certbot, and generate the certificate.
- The FQDN is set to the DNS name for the master node obtained in a previous step.
- Make note of the last command output for the cert and cert key files.
- Note: This certificate is valid for 90 days and must be renewed. After renewal, the subsequent Dremio configuration steps (steps 7 - 9) must be repeated.
FQDN=<DNS name of the host>
curl https://dl.eff.org/certbot-auto -o certbot-auto
mv certbot-auto /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
chown root /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
chmod 0755 /usr/local/bin/certbot-auto
certbot-auto certonly -d $FQDN --standalone -n --agree-tos --email youremail@domain.com -
Create a keystore for Dremio. For example, the following example uses the output from the previous step.
PASSWORD=yourpassword
LETSENCRYPT_BASE=/etc/letsencrypt/live
DREMIO_DATA_DIR=/var/lib/dremio
openssl pkcs12 -export \
-inkey $LETSENCRYPT_BASE/$FQDN/privkey.pem \
-in $LETSENCRYPT_BASE/$FQDN/cert.pem \
-out $DREMIO_DATA_DIR/store.pkcs12 \
-passout pass:$PASSWORD
chown dremio:dremio $DREMIO_DATA_DIR/store.pkcs12
- Configure Dremio by editing the /opt/dremio/conf/dremio.conf file and adding the following properties to the end of the file. The keystore path and password were generated by the previous step. If you supplied a different keystore path and password, be sure to provide them instead.
services.coordinator.web.ssl.enabled: true
services.coordinator.web.ssl.auto-certificate.enabled: false
services.coordinator.web.ssl.keyStore: "/var/lib/dremio/store.pkcs12"
services.coordinator.web.ssl.keyStorePassword: "yourpassword"
-
Restart the Dremio service. See Start, Stop, and Status for RPM commands.
Restart Dremio serviceservice dremio restart
-
Log into the Dremio UI:
