7.8.8. Configuring the Broker Plug-ins

Enable the required plug-ins for authentication, DNS, and messaging in the /etc/openshift/plugins.d directory. For example, the example.conf file enables the example plug-in. The contents of the example.conf file contain configuration settings in the form of lines containing key=value pairs. In some cases, the only requirement is to copy an example configuration. Other plug-ins, such as the DNS plug-in, require further configuration.
Change to the /etc/openshift/plugins.d/ directory to access the files needed for the following configuration steps: 
# cd /etc/openshift/plugins.d

Procedure 7.14. To Configure the Required Plug-ins:

  1. Copy the example configuration file for the remote user authentication plug-in: 
    # cp openshift-origin-auth-remote-user.conf.example openshift-origin-auth-remote-user.conf
  2. Copy the example configuration file for the MCollective messaging plug-in: 
    # cp openshift-origin-msg-broker-mcollective.conf.example openshift-origin-msg-broker-mcollective.conf
  3. Configure the dns-nsupdate plug-in: 
    # cat << EOF > openshift-origin-dns-nsupdate.conf
BIND_SERVER="127.0.0.1"
BIND_PORT=53
BIND_KEYNAME="$domain"
BIND_KEYVALUE="$KEY"
BIND_KEYALGORITHM=HMAC-SHA256
BIND_ZONE="$domain"
EOF

    Important

    Verify that $domain and $KEY are configured correctly as described in Section 7.3.2, “Configuring BIND and DNS”.

Note

If you use the kickstart or bash script, the configure_httpd_auth, configure_messaging_plugin, and configure_dns_plugin functions perform these steps.
