Adding Security to an Existing Installation
Prev	Chapter 3. Performing a Secure Oracle NoSQL Database Installation	Next

To add security to an existing Oracle NoSQL Database installation:

Shut down the KVStore instance:

java -jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar stop \
-root KVROOT

Run the securityconfig utility to set up the basic store configuration with security:
```
java -jar /home/kvuser/kvstore/lib/kvstore.jar securityconfig 
```
Use the config create command with the -pwdmgr option to specify the mechanism used to hold passwords that is needed for access to the stores. In this case, Oracle Wallet is used:
```
config create -pwdmgr wallet -root KVROOT
Creating SSL keystore 
Enter a password for your keystore: 
```
Enter a password for your store and then reenter it for confirmation. The configuration tool will automatically generate some security related files:
```
Enter a password for your keystore: ***********
Re-enter the password: ***********
Created files:
security/security.xml
security/store.keys
security/store.trust
security/store.wallet/cwallet.sso 
security/client.security 
security/client.trust  
```
Note

In a multi-host store environment, the security directory and all files contained in it should be copied to each server that will host a Storage Node.
Use the config add-security command to add the security configuration you just created:
```
config add-security \
-root KVROOT -secdir security  \
-config config.xml 
```
Note

When running this command, the securityconfig tool will verify the existence of the referenced files and will update the specified bootstrap configuration file to refer to the security configuration. This process is normally done with the KVStore instance stopped, and must be performed on each Storage Node of the store.

Start the Storage Node Agent (SNA):

nohup java -jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar start -root KVROOT&

Start runadmin in security mode on the KVStore server host (node01). To do this, use the following command:
```
java -jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar \
runadmin -port 5000 -host node01
-security KVROOT/security/client.security 
```
This command sets SSL as a connection method and names a copy of the generated truststore file (client.security). For more information on SSL properties, see SSL communication properties.

Create a user. In this case, user root is defined:

kv-> plan create-user -name root -admin -wait
Enter the new password: ********
Re-enter the new password: ********
Executed plan 8, waiting for completion...
Plan 8 ended successfully

For more information on user creation and administration, see User management.

At this point, it is possible to connect to the store as the root user. To login, you can use either the -username <user> or the -security <path to security file> runadmin argument described earlier in this section.

In this example, the oracle.kv.security property is used. To login use the following command:
```
java -Doracle.kv.security=mylogin.txt \
-jar KVHOME/lib/kvstore.jar runadmin 
```
The file mylogin.txt should be a copy of the client.security file with additional properties settings for authentication. The file would then contain content like this:
```
oracle.kv.auth.username=root
oracle.kv.auth.wallet.dir=login.wallet
oracle.kv.transport=ssl
oracle.kv.ssl.trustStore=client.trust
oracle.kv.ssl.protocols=TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1,TLSv1
oracle.kv.ssl.hostnameVerifier=dnmatch(CN\=NoSQL) 
```
For more information, see User login.
