# Building the binaries
## Network management server
To build a fat jar containing all the doorman code you can simply invoke:
```
./gradlew network-management:capsule:buildDoormanJAR
```
The built file will appear in:
```
network-management/capsule/build/libs/doorman-<VERSION>.jar
```
## HSM signing server
To build a fat jar containing all the HSM signer code you can simply invoke:
```
./gradlew network-management:capsule-hsm:buildHsmJAR
```
The built file will appear in:
```
network-management/capsule-hsm/build/libs/hsm-<VERSION>.jar
```
The binaries can also be obtained from artifactory after deployment in TeamCity.
To run the HSM signing server:
```
cd network-management
java -jar capsule-hsm/build/libs/hsm-3.0-NETWORKMAP-20171204.134345-6-capsule.jar --configFile hsm.conf
```
#Configuring network management service
### Local signing
When `keystorePath` is provided in the config file, a signer will be created to handle all the signing periodically using the CA keys in the provided keystore.
The network management service can be started without a signer, the signing will be delegated to external process (e.g. HSM) connecting to the same database, the server will poll the database periodically for newly signed data and update the statuses accordingly.
Additional configuration needed for local signer:
```
#For local signing
rootStorePath = ${basedir}"/certificates/rootstore.jks"
keystorePath = ${basedir}"/certificates/caKeystore.jks"
keystorePassword = "password"
caPrivateKeyPassword = "password"
```
## Doorman Service
Doorman service can be started with the following options :
### JIRA
The doorman service can use JIRA to manage the certificate signing request approval workflow. This can be turned on by providing JIRA connection configuration in the config file.
```
doormanConfig {
jiraConfig {
address = "https://doorman-jira-host.com/"
projectCode = "TD"
username = "username"
password = "password"
doneTransitionCode = 41
}
.
.
.
}
```
### Auto approval
When `approveAll` is set to `true`, the doorman will approve all requests on receive. (*This should only be enabled in a test environment)
### Network map service
Network map service can be enabled by providing the following config:
```
networkMapConfig {
cacheTimeout = 600000
signInterval = 10000
}
```
`cacheTimeout`(ms) indicates how often the network map should poll the database for a newly signed network map. This is also added to the HTTP response header to set the node's network map update frequency.
`signInterval`(ms) this is only relevant when local signer is enabled. The signer poll the database according to the `signInterval`, and create a new network map if the collection of node info hashes is different from the current network map.
##Example config file
```
basedir = "."
host = localhost
port = 0
#For local signing
rootStorePath = ${basedir}"/certificates/rootstore.jks"
keystorePath = ${basedir}"/certificates/caKeystore.jks"
keystorePassword = "password"
caPrivateKeyPassword = "password"
# Database config
dataSourceProperties {
dataSourceClassName = org.h2.jdbcx.JdbcDataSource
"dataSource.url" = "jdbc:h2:file:"${basedir}"/persistence;DB_CLOSE_ON_EXIT=FALSE;LOCK_TIMEOUT=10000;WRITE_DELAY=0;AUTO_SERVER_PORT="${h2port}
"dataSource.user" = sa
"dataSource.password" = ""
}
h2port = 0
# Doorman config
# Comment out this section if running without doorman service
doormanConfig {
approveInterval = 10000
approveAll = false
jiraConfig {
address = "https://doorman-jira-host.com/"
projectCode = "TD"
username = "username"
password = "password"
doneTransitionCode = 41
}
}
# Network map config
# Comment out this section if running without network map service
networkMapConfig {
cacheTimeout = 600000
signInterval = 10000
}
```
# Running the network
### 1. Create keystore for local signer
If local signer is enabled, the server will look for keystores in the certificate folder on start up.
The keystores can be created using `--mode` flag.
```
java -jar doorman-<version>.jar --mode ROOT_KEYGEN
```
and
```
java -jar doorman-<version>.jar --mode CA_KEYGEN
```
A root certificate `pem` file will also be created, this will be distributed to the client via a "out-of-band" process.
Note: We will be distributing a trust store instead of the pem file in future updates.
### 2. Start Doorman service for notary registration
Start the network management server with the doorman service for initial bootstrapping. Network map service should be disabled at this point.
Comment out network map config in the config file and start the server by running :
```
java -jar doorman-<version>.jar
```
### 3. Create notary node and register with the doorman
After the doorman service is started, copy the `rootcert.pem` file to the notaries' certificates folder and start the `initial-registration` process.
### 4. Add notary identities to the network parameter
The network parameter should contain the name and public key of the newly created notaries.
Example network parameter file:
notaries : [{
name: "O=Notary A, L=Port Louis, C=MU, OU=Org Unit, CN=Service Name"
key: "GfHq2tTVk9z4eXgyWmExBB3JfHpeuYrk9jUc4zaVVSXpnW8FdCUNDhw6GRGN"
validating: true
}, {
name: "O=Notary B, L=Bali, C=ID, OU=Org Unit, CN=Service Name"
key: "GfHq2tTVk9z4eXgyEshv6vtBDjp7n76QZH5hk6VXLhk3vRTAmKcP9F9tRfPj"
validating: false
}]
minimumPlatformVersion = 1
maxMessageSize = 100
maxTransactionSize = 100
Save the parameters to `parameter.conf`
### 5. Load initial network parameters file for network map service
A network parameters file is required to start the network map service for the first time. The initial network parameters file can be loaded using the `--update-network-parameter` flag.
We can now restart the network management server with both doorman and network map service.
```
java -jar doorman-<version>.jar --update-network-parameter parameter.conf
```
