-
-Preliminary installation instructions for rpkid et al. These are the
-production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs, etc).
-See ../rcynic/README for relying party tools.
-
-rpkid is a set of Python modules supporting generation and maintenance
-of resource certificates. Most of the code is in the scripts/rpki/
-directory. rpkid itself is a relatively small program that calls the
-library modules. There are several other programs that make use of
-the same libraries, as well as a collection of test programs.
-
-At present the package is intended to be run out of its build
-directory. Setting up proper installation in a system area using the
-Python distutils package would likely not be very hard but has not yet
-been done.
-
-Note that initial development of this code has been on FreeBSD, so
-installation will probably be easiest on FreeBSD.
-
-The first step to running the code is to build the OpenSSL and POW
-binaries. At present the OpenSSL code is just a copy of the stock
-OpenSSL 0.9.8g release, compiled with special options to enable the
-RFC 3779 support that ISC wrote under previous contract to ARIN. The
-POW (Python OpenSSL Wrapper) library is an extended copy of the stock
-POW release.
-
-To build these, cd to the top-level directory in the distribution and
-type "make".
-
- $ cd $top
- $ make
-
-This should automatically build everything, in the right order,
-including staticly linking the POW extension module with the OpenSSL
-library to provide RFC 3779 support.
-
-Next, see the list of required Python modules in scripts/README. Note
-that the Python code requires Python version 2.5. Install any modules
-that might be missing.
-
-You will also need a MySQL installation. This code was developed
-using MySQL 5.1 and has been tested with MySQL 5.0 and 5.1.
-
-The architecture is intended to support hardware signing modules
-(HSMs), but the code to support them has not been written.
-
-At this point, you should have all the necessary software installed.
-You will probably want to test it. All tests should be run from the
-scripts/ directory.
-
-Some of the tests require MySQL databases to store their data. To set
-up all the databases that the tests will need, run the SQL commands in
-scripts/testbed.sql. The MySQL command line client is usually the
-easiest way to do this, eg:
-
- $ cd $top/scripts
- $ mysql -u root -p <testbed.sql
-
-To run the tests, run "make all-tests":
-
- $ cd $top/scripts
- $ make all-tests
-
-If nothing explodes, your installation is probably ok. Any Python
-backtraces in the output indicate a problem.

-
-Preliminary operation instructions for rpkid et al. These are the
-production-side RPKI tools, for Internet Registries (RIRs, LIRs, etc).
-See ../rcynic/README for relying party tools.
-
-See INSTALLATION for how to install the software.
-
-At present the package is intended to be run out of the scripts
-directory.
-
-In addition to the library routines in the scripts/rpki/ directory,
-the package includes the following programs:
-
-rpkid.py The main RPKI engine daemon
-
-rootd.py A separate daemon for handling the root of an RPKI
- certificate tree. This is essentially a stripped down
- version of rpkid with no SQL database, no left-right
- protocol implementation, and only the parent side of
- the up-down protocol. It's separate because the root
- is a special case in several ways and it was simpler
- to keep the special cases out of the main daemon.
-
-irdbd.py A sample implementation of an IR database daemon.
- rpkid calls into this to perform lookups via the
- left-right protocol.
-
-irbe-cli.py A command-line client for the left-right control
- protocol.
-
-irbe-setup.py An example of a script to set up the mappings between
- the IRDB and rpkid's own database, using the
- left-right control protocol.
-
-cronjob.py A trivial HTTP client used to drive rpkid cron events.
-
-testbed.py A test tool for running a collection of rpkid and irdb
- instances under common control, driven by a unified
- test script.
-
-testpoke.py A simple client for the up-down protocol, mostly
- compatable with APNIC's rpki_poke.pl tool.
-
-Most of these programs take configuration files in a common format
-similar to that used by the OpenSSL command line tool. The test
-programs also take input in YAML format to drive the tests. Runs of
-the testbed.py test tool will generate a fairly complete set
-configuration files which may be useful as examples.
-
-Basic operation consists of creating the appropriate MySQL databases,
-starting rpkid, rootd, and irdbd, using the left-right control
-protocol to set up rpkid's internal state, and setting up a cron job
-to invoke rpkid's cron action at regular intervals. All other
-operations should occur either as a result of cron events or as a
-result of incoming left-right and up-down protocol requests.
-
-Note that the publication protocol isn't fully specified yet, much
-less implmenented. At the moment rpkid just writes its outputs to a
-local directory tree.
-
-Note that the full event-driven model for rpkid hasn't yet been
-implemented. The design is intended to allow an arbitrary number of
-hosted RPKI engines to run in a single rpkid instance, but without the
-event-driven tasking model one has to set up a separate rpkid instance
-for each hosted RPKI engine.
-
-At present the daemon programs all run in foreground, that is, if one
-wants them to run in background one must do so manually, eg, using
-Bourne shell syntax:
-
- $ python whatever.py &
- $ echo >whatever.pid "$!"
-
-All of the daemons use syslog. At present they all set LOG_PERROR, so
-all logging also goes to stderr.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-rpkid.py:
-
-rpkid is the main RPKI engine daemon. Configuration of rpkid is a two
-step process: a config file to bootstrap rpkid to the point where it
-can speak using the left-right protocol, followed by dynamic
-configuration via the left-right protocol. In production use the
-latter stage would be handled by the IRBE stub; for test and
-develoment purposes it's handled by the irbe-cli.py command line
-interface or by the testbed.py test framework.
-
-rpkid stores dynamic data in an SQL database, which must have been
-created for it, as explained in the installation guide.
-
-The default config file is rpkid.conf, start rpkid with "-c filename"
-to choose a different config file. All options are in the section
-"[rpkid]". Certificates, keys, and trust anchors may be in either DER
-or PEM format.
-
-Config file options:
-
-startup-message: String to log on startup, useful when
- debugging a collection of rpkid instances at
- once.
-
-sql-username: Username to hand to MySQL when connecting to
- rpkid's database.
-
-sql-database: MySQL's database name for rpkid's database.
-
-sql-password: Password to hand to MySQL when connecting to
- rpkid's database.
-
-cms-ta-irdb: Name of file containing CMS trust anchor to
- use when authenticating messages from irdbd.
-
-cms-ta-irbe: Name of file containing CMS trust anchor to
- use when authenticating control messages from
- IRBE.
-
-cms-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use when
- signing CMS messages to IRBE or irdbd.

- messages to IRBE or irdbd. You can specify
- more than one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: cms-certs.0, cms-certs.1, etc.
-
-https-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use, both
- in the HTTPS server role (for both up-down and
- left-right protocols) and in the HTTPS client
- role (left-right protocol only).
-
-https-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to use in same contexts where https-key is
- used. You can specify more than one

-
-https-ta: Name of file containing trust anchor to use
- when verifying irdbd's HTTPS server
- certificate.
-
-irdb-url: Service URL for irdbd. Must be a https:// URL.
-
-https-server-host: Hostname or IP address on which to listen for
- HTTPS connections. Current default is
- INADDR_ANY (IPv4 0.0.0.0); this will need to
- be hacked to support IPv6 for production.
-
-https-server-port: TCP port on which to listen for HTTPS
- connections.
-
-publication-kludge-base: [TEMPORARY] Local directory under which
- generated certificates etc should be
- published. This is a temporary expedient
- until the publication protocol is defined and
- implemented. Default is "publication/"
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-rootd.py:
-
-rootd is a stripped down implmenetation of (only) the server side of
-the up-down protocol. It's a separate program because the root
-certificate of an RPKI certificate tree requires special handling and
-may also require a special handling policy. rootd is a simple
-implementation intended for test use, it's not suitable for use in a
-production system. All configuration comes via the config file.
-
-The default config file is rootd.conf, start rootd with "-c filename"
-to choose a different config file. All options are in the section
-"[rootd]". Certificates, keys, and trust anchors may be in either DER
-or PEM format.
-
-Config file options:
-
-cms-ta: Name of file containing trust anchor to use
- when verifying CMS up-down queries.
-
-cms-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use when
- signing CMS up-down replies.
-
-cms-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to include in CMS wrapper when signing up-down
- replies. You can specify more than one

- HTTPS server role for the up-down protocol.
-
-https-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to use in the HTTPS server role for the
- up-down protocol. You can specify more than
- one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: https-certs.0, https-certs.1,
- etc.
-

-rpki-issuer: Name of file containing self-signed root
- resource certificate corresponding to
- rpki-key.
-
-rpki-subject-filename: Name of file that rootd should use to save the
- one and only certificate it issues.
-
-rpki-pkcs10-filename: Name of file that rootd should use when saving
- a copy of the received PKCS #10 request for a
- resource certificate. This is only used for
- debugging. Default is not to save the PKCS
- #10 request.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-irdbd.py:
-
-irdbd is a sample implemntation of the server side of the IRDB
-callback subset of the left-right protocol. In production use this
-service is a function of the IRBE stub; irdbd may be suitable for
-production use in simple cases, but an IR with a complex IRDB may need
-to extend or rewrite irdbd.
-
-irdbd requires a pre-populated database to represent the IR's
-customers. irdbd expects this database to use the SQL schema defined
-in docs/sample-irdb.sql. Once this database has been populated, the
-IRBE stub needs to create the appropriate objects in rpkid's database
-via the control subset of the left-right protocol, and store the
-linkage IDs (foreign keys into rpkid's database, basicly) in the
-IRDB. The irbe-setup.py program shows an example of how to do this.
-
-irdbd's default config file is irdbd.conf, start irdbd with "-c
-filename" to choose a different config file. All options are in the
-section "[irdbd]". Certificates, keys, and trust anchors may be in
-either DER or PEM format.
-
-Config file options:
-
-startup-message: String to log on startup, useful when
- debugging a collection of irdbd instances at
- once.
-
-sql-username: Username to hand to MySQL when connecting to
- irdbd's database.
-
-sql-database: MySQL's database name for irdbd's database.
-
-sql-password: Password to hand to MySQL when connecting to
- irdbd's database.
-
-cms-ta: Name of file containing CMS trust anchor to
- use when authenticating messages from rpkid.
-
-cms-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use when
- signing CMS messages to rpkid.
-
-cms-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to include in CMS wrapper when signing
- messages to rpkid. You can specify more than
- one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: cms-certs.0, cms-certs.1, etc.
-
-https-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use in the
- HTTPS server role when listening for
- connections from rpkid.
-
-https-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to use in the HTTPS server role when listening
- for connections from rpkid. You can specify
- more than one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: https-certs.0, https-certs.1, etc.
-
-https-url: Service URL for irdbd. Must be a https:// URL.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-irbe-cli.py:
-
-irbe-cli is a simple command line client for the control subset of the
-left-right protocol. In production use this functionality would be
-part of the IRBE stub.
-
-Basic configuration of irbe-cli is handled via a config file. The
-specific action or actions to be performed are specified on the
-command line, and map closely to the left-right protocol itself.
-
-At present the user is assumed to be able to read the (XML) left-right
-protocol messages, and with one exception, no attempt is made to
-interpret the responses other than to check for errors. The one
-exception is that, if the --pem_out option is specified on the command
-line, any PKCS #10 requests received from rpkid will be written in PEM
-format to that file; this makes it easier to hand these requests off
-to the business PKI in order to issue signing certs corresponding to
-newly generated business keys.
-
-Usage: irbe-cli.py --config= --help --pem_out=
-
- parent --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --parent_id=
- --bsc_id= --repository_id= --peer_contact_uri=
- --sia_base= --sender_name= --recipient_name=
- --cms_ta= --https_ta= --rekey --reissue --revoke
-
- repository --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --repository_id=
- --bsc_id= --peer_contact_uri= --cms_ta= --https_ta=
-
- self --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --crl_interval=
- --extension_preference= --rekey --reissue --revoke
- --run_now --publish_world_now
- --clear_extension_preferences
-
- child --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --child_id=
- --bsc_id= --cms_ta= --reissue
-
- route_origin --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --route_origin_id=
- --as_number= --ipv4= --ipv6= --suppress_publication
-
- bsc --action= --type= --tag= --self_id= --bsc_id=
- --key_type= --hash_alg= --key_length= --signing_cert=
- --generate_keypair --clear_signing_certs
-
-Global options (--config, --help, --pem_out) come first, then zero or
-more commands (parent, repository, self, child, route_origin, bsc),
-each followed by its own set of options. The commands map to
-elements in the left-right protocol, and the command-specific options
-map to attributes or subelements for those commands.
-
---action is one of create, set, get, list, or destroy; exactly one of
-these must be specified for each command.
-
---type is query or reply; since irbe-cli is a client, query is the
-default.
-
---tag is an optional arbitrary tag (think IMAP) to simplify matching
-up replies with batched queries.
-
---*_id options refer to the primary keys of previously created
-objects.
-
-The remaining options are specific to the particular commands, and
-follow directly from the left-right protocol specification.
-
-A trailing "=" in the above option summary indicates that an option
-takes a value, eg, "--action create" or "--action=create". Options
-without a trailing "=" correspond to boolean control attributes.
-
-The default config file for irbe-cli is irbe.conf, start rpkid with
-"-c filename" (or "--config filename") to choose a different config
-file. All options are in the section "[irbe-cli]". Certificates,
-keys, and trust anchors may be in either DER or PEM format.
-
-Config file options:
-
-cms-ta: Name of file containing CMS trust anchor to
- use when authenticating messages from rpkid.
-
-cms-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use when
- signing CMS messages to rpkid.
-
-cms-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to include in CMS wrapper when signing
- messages to rpkid. You can specify more than
- one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: cms-certs.0, cms-certs.1, etc.
-
-https-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use in the
- HTTPS client role when contacting rpkid.
-
-https-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to use in the HTTPS client role when
- contacting rpkid. You can specify more than
- one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: https-certs.0, https-certs.1,
- etc.
-
-https-ta: Name of file containing trust anchor to use
- when verifying rpkid's HTTPS server
- certificate.
-
-https-url: Service URL for rpkid. Must be a https:// URL.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-irbe-setup.py config file:
-
-The default config file is irbe.conf, start rpkid with "-c filename"
-to choose a different config file. Most options are in the section
-"[irbe-cli]", but a few are in the section "[irdbd]". Certificates,
-keys, and trust anchors may be in either DER or PEM format.
-
-Options in the "[irbe-cli]" section:
-
-cms-ta: Name of file containing CMS trust anchor to
- use when authenticating messages from rpkid.
-
-cms-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use when
- signing CMS messages to rpkid.
-
-cms-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)

- irdbd's database.
-
-sql-database: MySQL's database name for irdbd's database.
-
-sql-password: Password to hand to MySQL when connecting to
- irdbd's database.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-cronjob.py:
-
-This is a trivial program to trigger a cron run within rpkid. Once
-rpkid has been converted to the planned event-driven model, this
-function will be handled internally, but for now it has to be
-triggered by an external program. For pseudo-production use one would
-run this program under the system cron daemon. For scripted testing
-it happens to be useful to be able to control when cron cycles occur,
-so at the current stage of code development use of an external trigger
-is a useful feature.
-
-The default config file is cronjob.conf, start cronjob with "-c
-filename" to choose a different config file. All options are in the
-section "[cronjob]". Certificates, keys, and trust anchors may be in
-either DER or PEM format.
-
-Config file options:
-
-https-key: Name of file containing RSA key to use in the
- HTTPS client role when contacting rpkid.
-
-https-certs: Name(s) of file(s) containing certificate(s)
- to use in the HTTPS client role when
- contacting rpkid. You can specify more than
- one certificate using OpenSSL-style
- subscripts: https-certs.0, https-certs.1,
- etc.
-
-https-ta: Name of file containing trust anchor to use
- when verifying rpkid's HTTPS server
- certificate.
-
-https-url: Service URL for rpkid. Must be a https:// URL.
-
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-
-testbed.py:
-
-testbed is a test harness to set up and run a collection of rpkid and
-irdbd instances under scripted control. testbed is a very recent
-addition to the toolset and is still evolving rapidly.
-
-Unlike the programs described above, testbed takes two configuration
-files in different languages. The first configuration file uses the
-same syntax as the above configuration files but is completely
-optional. The second configuration file is the test script, which is
-encoded using the YAML serialization language (see
-http://www.yaml.org/ for more information on YAML). The YAML script
-is not optional, as it describes the test layout. testbed is designed
-to support running a fairly wide set of test configurations as canned
-scripts without writing any new control code. The intent is to make
-it possible to write meaningful regression tests.
-
-All of the options in in the first (optional) configuration file are
-just overrides for wired-in default values. In most cases the
-defaults will suffice, and the set of options is still in flux, so
-only a few of the options are described here. The default name for
-this configuration file is testbed.conf, run testbed with "-c
-filename" to change it.
-
-testbed.conf options:
-
-testbed_dir: Working directory into which testbed should write the
- (many) files it generates. Default is "testbed.dir".
-
-irdb_db_pass: MySQL password for the "irdb" user. Default is
- "fnord". You may want to override this.
-
-rpki_db_pass: MySQL password for the "rpki" user. Default is
- "fnord". You may want to override this.
-
-rootd_sia: rsync URI naming a (perhaps fictious) directory to use
- as the id-ad-caRepository SIA value in the generated
- root resource certificate. Default is
- "rsync://wombat.invalid/". You may want to override
- this if you intend to run an rsync server and test
- against the generated results using rcynic. This
- default will likely change if and when testbed learns
- how to run rcynic itself as part of the test suite.
-
-The second configuration file is named testbed.yaml by default, run
-testbed with "-y filename" to change it. The YAML file contains
-multiple YAML "documents". The first document describes the initial
-test layout and resource allocations, subsequent documents describe
-modifications to the initial allocations and other parameters.
-Resources listed in the initial layout are aggregated automatically,
-so that a node in the resource hierarchy automatically receives the
-resources it needs to issue whatever its children are listed as
-holding. Actions in the subsequent documents are modifications to the
-current resource set, modifications to validity dates or other
-non-resource parameters, or special commands like "sleep". The
-details are still evolving, but here's an example of current usage:
-
- name: RIR
- #valid_until: 2008-07-14T12:30:00Z
- valid_for: 2d
- sia_base: "rsync://wombat.invalid/"
- kids:
- - name: LIR0
- kids:
- - name: Alice
- ipv4: 192.0.2.1-192.0.2.33
- asn: 64533
- ---
- - name: Alice
- valid_add: 10
- ---
- - name: Alice
- add_as: 33
- valid_add: 2d
- # valid_until: 2009-07-14T12:30:00Z
- ---
- - name: Alice
- # valid_until: 2009-04-01T00:00:00Z
- valid_sub: 2d
- ---
- - name: Alice
- # valid_until: 2009-04-01T00:00:00Z
- valid_for: 10d
-
-This specifies an initial layout consisting of an RPKI engine named
-"RIR", with one child "LIR0", which in turn has one child "Alice".
-Alice has a set of assigned resources, and all resources in the system
-are initially set to be valid for two days from the time at which the
-test is started. The first subsequent document adds ten seconds to
-the validity interval for Alice's resources and makes no other
-modifications. The second subsequent document grants Alice additional
-resources and adds another two days to the validity interval for
-Alice's resources. The next document subtracts two days from the
-validity interval for Alice's resources. The final document sets the
-validity interval for Alice's resources to ten days.
-
-Operators in subsequent (update) documents:
-
- add_as, add_v4, add_v6: These add ASN, IPv4, or IPv6
- resources, respectively.
-
- sub_as, sub_v4, sub_v6: These subtract resources.
-
- valid_until: Set an absolute expiration date.
-
- valid_for: Set a relative expiration date.
-
- valid_add, valid_sub: Add to or subtract from validity interval.
-
- sleep [interval]: Sleep for specified interval, or until
- testbed receives a SIGALRM signal.
-
-Absolute timestamps should be in the form shown (UTC timestamp format
-as used in XML).
-
-Intervals (valid_add, valid_sub, valid_for, sleep) are either
-integers, in which case they're interpreted as seconds, or are a
-string of the form "wD xH yM zS" where w, x, y, and z are integers and
-D, H, M, and S indicate days, hours, minutes, and seconds. In the
-latter case all of the fields are optional, but at least one must be
-specified. For example, "3D4H" means "three days plus four hours".

-testpoke.py:
-
-This is a command-line client for the up-down protocol. Unlike all of
-the above programs, testpoke does not accept a config file in
-OpenSSL-compatable format at all. Instead, it is configured
-exclusively by a YAML script. testpoke's design was constrained by a
-desire to have it be compatable with APNIC's rpki_poke.pl tool, so
-that the two tools could use a common configuration language to
-simplify scripted testing. There are minor variations due to slightly
-different feature sets, but YAML files intended for one program will
-usually work with the other.
-
-README for APNIC's tool describing the input language can be found at
-http://mirin.apnic.net/svn/rpki_engine/branches/gary-poker/client/poke/README
-
-testpoke.py takes a simplified command line and uses only one YAML
-input file.
-
-Usage: python testpoke.py [ { -y | --yaml } configfile ]
- [ { -r | --request } requestname ]
- [ { -h | --help } ]
-
-Default configuration file is testpoke.yaml, override with --yaml
-option.
-
-The --request option specifies the specific command within the YAML
-file to execute.
-
-Sample configuration file:

-
-testpoke adds one extension to the language described in APNIC's
-README: the cms-cert-chain-* and ssl-cert-chain-* options, which allow
-one to specify a chain of intermediate certificates to be presented in
-the CMS or TLS protocol. APNIC's initial implementation required
-direct knowledge of the issuing certificate (ie, it supported a
-maximum chain length of one); subsequent APNIC code changes have
-probably relaxed this restriction, and with luck APNIC has copied
-testpoke's syntax to express chains of intermediate certificates.
