Requirements & Prerequisites

Before installing the DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension, we recommend that you install kfutil. Kfutil is a command-line tool that simplifies the process of creating store types, installing extensions, and instantiating certificate stores in Keyfactor Command.

The IBM DataPower Orchestrator allows for the management of certificates in the IBM Datapower platform. Inventory, Add and Remove functions are supported. This integration can add/replace certificates in any domain\directory combination. For example default\pubcert

Create the DataPower Certificate Store Type

To use the DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension, you must create the DataPower Certificate Store Type. This only needs to happen once per Keyfactor Command instance.

• Create DataPower using kfutil:

  # IBM Data Power
  kfutil store-types create DataPower

• Create DataPower manually in the Command UI:

  Create DataPower manually in the Command UI

  Create a store type called DataPower with the attributes in the tables below:

  Basic Tab

  Attribute	Value	Description
  Name	IBM Data Power	Display name for the store type (may be customized)
  Short Name	DataPower	Short display name for the store type
  Capability	DataPower	Store type name orchestrator will register with. Check the box to allow entry of value
  Supports Add	✅ Checked	Check the box. Indicates that the Store Type supports Management Add
  Supports Remove	🔲 Unchecked	Indicates that the Store Type supports Management Remove
  Supports Discovery	🔲 Unchecked	Indicates that the Store Type supports Discovery
  Supports Reenrollment	🔲 Unchecked	Indicates that the Store Type supports Reenrollment
  Supports Create	🔲 Unchecked	Indicates that the Store Type supports store creation
  Needs Server	✅ Checked	Determines if a target server name is required when creating store
  Blueprint Allowed	🔲 Unchecked	Determines if store type may be included in an Orchestrator blueprint
  Uses PowerShell	🔲 Unchecked	Determines if underlying implementation is PowerShell
  Requires Store Password	🔲 Unchecked	Enables users to optionally specify a store password when defining a Certificate Store.
  Supports Entry Password	🔲 Unchecked	Determines if an individual entry within a store can have a password.

  The Basic tab should look like this:

  

  Advanced Tab

  Attribute	Value	Description
  Supports Custom Alias	Required	Determines if an individual entry within a store can have a custom Alias.
  Private Key Handling	Optional	This determines if Keyfactor can send the private key associated with a certificate to the store. Required because IIS certificates without private keys would be invalid.
  PFX Password Style	Default	'Default' - PFX password is randomly generated, 'Custom' - PFX password may be specified when the enrollment job is created (Requires the Allow Custom Password application setting to be enabled.)

  The Advanced tab should look like this:

  

  Custom Fields Tab

  Custom fields operate at the certificate store level and are used to control how the orchestrator connects to the remote target server containing the certificate store to be managed. The following custom fields should be added to the store type:

  Name	Display Name	Description	Type	Default Value/Options	Required
  ServerUsername	Server Username	Api UserName for DataPower. (or valid PAM key if the username is stored in a KF Command configured PAM integration).	Secret		🔲 Unchecked
  ServerPassword	Server Password	A password for DataPower API access. Used for inventory.(or valid PAM key if the password is stored in a KF Command configured PAM integration).	Secret		🔲 Unchecked
  ServerUseSsl	Use SSL	Should be true, http is not supported.	Bool	true	✅ Checked
  InventoryBlackList	Inventory Black List	Comma seperated list of alias values you do not want to inventory from DataPower.	String		🔲 Unchecked
  Protocol	Protocol Name	Comma seperated list of alias values you do not want to inventory from DataPower.	String	https	✅ Checked
  PublicCertStoreName	Public Cert Store Name	This probably will remain pubcert unless someone changed the default name in DataPower.	String	pubcert	✅ Checked
  InventoryPageSize	Inventory Page Size	This determines the page size during the inventory calls. (100 should be fine).	String	100	✅ Checked

  The Custom Fields tab should look like this:

  

Installation

1. Download the latest DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension from GitHub.

   Navigate to the DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension GitHub version page. Refer to the compatibility matrix below to determine whether the net6.0 or net8.0 asset should be downloaded. Then, click the corresponding asset to download the zip archive.

   Universal Orchestrator Version	Latest .NET version installed on the Universal Orchestrator server	rollForward condition in Orchestrator.runtimeconfig.json	ibm-datapower-orchestrator .NET version to download
   Older than 11.0.0			net6.0
   Between 11.0.0 and 11.5.1 (inclusive)	net6.0		net6.0
   Between 11.0.0 and 11.5.1 (inclusive)	net8.0	Disable	net6.0
   Between 11.0.0 and 11.5.1 (inclusive)	net8.0	LatestMajor	net8.0
   11.6 and newer	net8.0		net8.0

   Unzip the archive containing extension assemblies to a known location.

   Note If you don't see an asset with a corresponding .NET version, you should always assume that it was compiled for net6.0.

2. Locate the Universal Orchestrator extensions directory.

   • Default on Windows - C:\Program Files\Keyfactor\Keyfactor Orchestrator\extensions
   • Default on Linux - /opt/keyfactor/orchestrator/extensions

3. Create a new directory for the DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension inside the extensions directory.

   Create a new directory called ibm-datapower-orchestrator.

   The directory name does not need to match any names used elsewhere; it just has to be unique within the extensions directory.

4. Copy the contents of the downloaded and unzipped assemblies from step 2 to the ibm-datapower-orchestrator directory.

5. Restart the Universal Orchestrator service.

   Refer to Starting/Restarting the Universal Orchestrator service.

6. (optional) PAM Integration

   The DataPower Universal Orchestrator extension is compatible with all supported Keyfactor PAM extensions to resolve PAM-eligible secrets. PAM extensions running on Universal Orchestrators enable secure retrieval of secrets from a connected PAM provider.

   To configure a PAM provider, reference the Keyfactor Integration Catalog to select an extension, and follow the associated instructions to install it on the Universal Orchestrator (remote).

The above installation steps can be supplimented by the official Command documentation.

Defining Certificate Stores

• Manually with the Command UI

  Create Certificate Stores manually in the UI

  1. Navigate to the Certificate Stores page in Keyfactor Command.

     Log into Keyfactor Command, toggle the Locations dropdown, and click Certificate Stores.

  2. Add a Certificate Store.

     Click the Add button to add a new Certificate Store. Use the table below to populate the Attributes in the Add form.

     Attribute	Description
     Category	Select "IBM Data Power" or the customized certificate store name from the previous step.
     Container	Optional container to associate certificate store with.
     Client Machine	The Client Machine field should contain the IP or Domain name and Port Needed for REST API Access. For SSH Access, Port 22 will be used.
     Store Path	The Store Path field should always be / unless we later determine there are alternate locations needed.
     Orchestrator	Select an approved orchestrator capable of managing DataPower certificates. Specifically, one with the DataPower capability.
     ServerUsername	Api UserName for DataPower. (or valid PAM key if the username is stored in a KF Command configured PAM integration).
     ServerPassword	A password for DataPower API access. Used for inventory.(or valid PAM key if the password is stored in a KF Command configured PAM integration).
     ServerUseSsl	Should be true, http is not supported.
     InventoryBlackList	Comma seperated list of alias values you do not want to inventory from DataPower.
     Protocol	Comma seperated list of alias values you do not want to inventory from DataPower.
     PublicCertStoreName	This probably will remain pubcert unless someone changed the default name in DataPower.
     InventoryPageSize	This determines the page size during the inventory calls. (100 should be fine).

     Attributes eligible for retrieval by a PAM Provider on the Universal Orchestrator

     If a PAM provider was installed on the Universal Orchestrator in the Installation section, the following parameters can be configured for retrieval on the Universal Orchestrator.

     Attribute	Description
