Important Note Entry params are no longer used. This version of the extension will only update certs on existing bindings and not add a cert to a new binding location. This was done to simplify the process since there are so many binding locations and reference issues.
Important Note Please review the new path considerations in the store section. It explains how the paths work for Panorama and the Firewalls. 'locahost.localdomain' will always be that constant value.
Cert Store Type Configuration
In Keyfactor Command create a new Certificate Store Type similar to the one below:
| SETTING TAB | CONFIG ELEMENT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|
| Basic | Name | Descriptive name for the Store Type. PaloAlto can be used. |
| Basic | Short Name | The short name that identifies the registered functionality of the orchestrator. Must be PaloAlto |
| Basic | Custom Capability | You can leave this unchecked and use the default. |
| Basic | Job Types | Inventory, Add, and Remove are the supported job types. |
| Basic | Needs Server | Must be checked |
| Basic | Blueprint Allowed | Unchecked |
| Basic | Requires Store Password | Determines if a store password is required when configuring an individual store. This must be unchecked. |
| Basic | Supports Entry Password | Determined if an individual entry within a store can have a password. This must be unchecked. |
| Advanced | Store Path Type | Determines how the user will enter the store path when setting up the cert store. Freeform |
| Advanced | Supports Custom Alias | Determines if an individual entry within a store can have a custom Alias. This must be Required |
| Advanced | Private Key Handling | Determines how the orchestrator deals with private keys. Optional |
| Advanced | PFX Password Style | Determines password style for the PFX Password. Default |
| NAME | DISPLAY NAME | TYPE | DEFAULT VALUE | DEPENDS ON | REQUIRED | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ServerUsername | Server Username | Secret | Unchecked | No | Palo Alto Api User Name | |
| ServerPassword | Server Password | Secret | Unchecked | No | Palo Alto Api Password | |
| ServerUseSsl | Use SSL | Bool | True | Unchecked | Yes | Requires SSL Connection |
| DeviceGroup | Device Group | String | Unchecked | No | Device Group on Panorama that changes will be pushed to. | |
| InventoryTrustedCerts | Inventory Trusted Certs | Bool | False | Unchecked | No | If false, will not inventory default trusted certs, saves time. |
| TemplateStack | Template Stack | String | Unchecked | No | Template stack used for device push of certificates via Template. |
The entry parameters for this version have been eliminated. It will not longer support new bindings but will just update existing bindings when the certificate is replaced.
PaloAlto Certificate Store
In Keyfactor Command, navigate to Certificate Stores from the Locations Menu. Click the Add button to create a new Certificate Store using the settings defined below.| CONFIG ELEMENT | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Category | The type of certificate store to be configured. Select category based on the display name configured above "PaloAlto". |
| Container | This is a logical grouping of like stores. This configuration is optional and does not impact the functionality of the store. |
| Client Machine | The hostname of the Panorama or Firewall. Sample is "palourl.cloudapp.azure.com". |
| Store Path | See Store Path Explanation Section Below |
| Orchestrator | This is the orchestrator server registered with the appropriate capabilities to manage this certificate store type. |
| Inventory Schedule | The interval that the system will use to report on what certificates are currently in the store. |
| Use SSL | This should be checked. |
| User | ApiUser Setup for either Panorama or the Firewall Device |
| Password | Api Password Setup for the user above |
Important Note The store path permutations are show below
Path Example /config/shared
/config: This indicates that the path is within the configuration section of the firewall device. It contains all the configuration settings and parameters for the device.
/shared: This section specifies that the path is within the shared settings. Shared settings are common configurations that can be used across multiple virtual systems (vsys) or contexts within the firewall.
Path Example: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/vsys/entry[@name='vsys1']
/config: This indicates that the path is within the configuration section of the firewall device. It contains all the configuration settings and parameters for the device.
/devices: This part specifies that the configuration relates to devices. In the context of a single firewall, this generally refers to the firewall itself.
/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='localhost.localdomain' identifies a specific device by its name. In this case, it refers to the device named "localhost.localdomain," which is a default or placeholder name for the firewall device.
/vsys: This section specifies that the path is within the virtual systems (vsys) section. Virtual systems allow multiple virtualized instances of firewall configurations within a single physical firewall.
/entry[@name='vsys1']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='vsys1' identifies a specific virtual system by its name. In this case, it refers to a virtual system named "vsys1."
Path Example: /config/devices/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']/template/entry[@name='CertificatesTemplate']/config/shared
/config: This section indicates that the path is within the configuration section of the Panorama device. It contains all the configuration settings and parameters for the device.
/devices: This part specifies that the configuration relates to devices managed by Panorama. Panorama can manage multiple devices, such as firewalls.
/entry[@name='localhost.localdomain']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='localhost.localdomain' identifies a specific device by its name. In this case, it refers to the device named "localhost.localdomain," which is a default or placeholder name for the device.
/template: This section indicates that the path is within the templates section. Templates in Panorama are used to define configuration settings that can be applied to multiple devices.
/entry[@name='CertificatesTemplate']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='CertificatesTemplate' identifies a specific template by its name. In this case, it refers to a template named "CertificatesTemplate."
/config/shared: This part of the path indicates that the configuration settings within this template are shared settings. Shared settings are common configurations that can be used across multiple devices or contexts within the Panorama management system.
Path Example: /config/devices/entry/template/entry[@name='CertificatesTemplate']/config/devices/entry/vsys/entry[@name='vsys2']
/config: This indicates that the path is within the configuration section of the Panorama device. It contains all the configuration settings and parameters for the device.
/devices: This part specifies that the configuration relates to devices managed by Panorama. Panorama can manage multiple devices, such as firewalls.
/entry: This is a generic entry point under devices. However, since it does not have a @name attribute specified at this level, it applies to the broader device category.
/template: This section indicates that the path is within the templates section. Templates in Panorama are used to define configuration settings that can be applied to multiple devices.
/entry[@name='CertificatesTemplate']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='CertificatesTemplate' identifies a specific template by its name. In this case, it refers to a template named "CertificatesTemplate."
/config/devices: This part of the path specifies that the configuration settings within this template apply to devices.
/entry: This again specifies a generic entry point under devices in the context of the template. This would typically be further defined by specific device attributes, but here it leads to the virtual systems (vsys) section.
/vsys: This section specifies that the path is within the virtual systems (vsys) section. Virtual systems allow multiple virtualized instances of firewall configurations within a single physical firewall.
/entry[@name='vsys2']: The entry tag with the attribute @name='vsys2' identifies a specific virtual system by its name. In this case, it refers to a virtual system named "vsys2."
Path Example: /config/panorama
/config: This indicates that the path is within the configuration section of the Panorama device. It contains all the configuration settings and parameters for the device.
/panorama: This section specifies that the path is within the Panorama-specific configuration settings. This part of the configuration contains settings that are specific to the Panorama management system itself, rather than the devices it manages.
