Follow this procedure to generate a site password for submission of monitoring data, and send that password in encrypted form to Camilo Viecco at GMOC for use with your monitoring data.
- Install GPG on you machine.
- For debian users:
apt-get install gpg
- For redhat users:
yum install gpg
- For Mac Users get it from:
http://macgpg.sourceforge.net/
- For windows users:
http://www.gpg4win.org/download.html
- For debian users:
- Now get Camilo Viecco's public gpg keys.
gpg --keyserver pgp.mit.edu --recv-keys 0x3EC5EA42
- Now validate the key:
gpg --fingerprint 0x3EC5EA42
The return value should be something like:pub 1024D/3EC5EA42 2003-04-02 Key fingerprint = 0781 10A0 44CC C441 594F E5A9 858A 173E 3EC5 EA42 uid Camilo Viecco <cviecco@indiana.edu> sub 3072g/D63BFA6B 2003-04-02
The value to check is the fingerprint: it should match:0781 10A0 44CC C441 594F E5A9 858A 173E 3EC5 EA42
- Now generate a password file: Generate a new password for your organization, and save it on a single line as a text file. Password requirements: at least 12 characters (no unicode) , no spaces(or tabs) or ':'.
- Now we encrypt the file
gpg -ea -r cviecco@indiana.edu $PASSWORD_FILE
You are most likely going to get a warning like this:gpg: D63BFA6B: There is no assurance this key belongs to the named user pub 3072g/D63BFA6B 2003-04-02 Camilo Viecco <cviecco@indiana.edu> Primary key fingerprint: 0781 10A0 44CC C441 594F E5A9 858A 173E 3EC5 EA42 Subkey fingerprint: 4543 9514 0EDD F4E8 08A0 9D95 A879 45D5 D63B FA6B It is NOT certain that the key belongs to the person named in the user ID. If you *really* know what you are doing, you may answer the next question with yes. Use this key anyway? (y/N)
Say yes. A file named with the same name as the password file but with an appended '.asc' extension should have been created.
- Send the encrypted file (the one ending in .asc) to cviecco@grnoc.iu.edu. Please use 'measurement api secret' as the subject.
- Camilo Viecco will send you the production url. This is the url that should be placed on as the DestURL on the measumernt exporter config.
