Enabling Access Controls on a Linux VM

Before you can associate an Access Control Policy with an encrypted Linux data disk, you need to enable access controls on the VM that contains the disk. This process must be done once for each VM that contains a disk you want to protect, but after it has been set up you can associate an Access Control Policy with any number of encrypted data disks on that VM.

Note:

The following procedure is for Linux only. Access controls are automatically enabled for Windows disks.

Before You Begin 

Make sure your Linux VM meets the requirements specified in Access Control Policies.

Procedure 

1. Log into the VM as root.

2. Make sure that the following required packages are installed:

   • setools-console
   • selinux-policy-devel
   • sshpass

   If any of the required packages are not there, install them using the yum install pkg-name command.

3. Enter the command rpm -ivh /opt/hcs/rpms/hytrust_accesscontrols-relnum-buildnum.noarch.rpm, where relnum-buildnum is the rpm release and build number that you are using.

   For example:

   # rpm -ivh /opt/hcs/rpms/hytrust_accesscontrols-4.3.2-13239M.noarch.rpm
