Issue
This article provides the steps to integrate Dell EMC Data Domain with RSA Authentication Manager through the REST API.
Resolution
Authentication Manager Configuration
- Enable the REST API on the instances where the Data Domain will be connected.
- Create two users in the internal database users: one named secofficer and the other named sysadmin. These are default users in the Dell Data Domain.
- Login to the Security Console and navigate to Identity > Users > Add New.
- Create a new user for secofficer. The only information needed is the the user ID and last name. Click Save and repeat for sysadmin.
- Assign a token to each user.
Data Domain Configuration
Set the following information on the Data Domain:
- Server URL: https://<am_fqdn>:5555/mfa/v1_1/authn
- Client ID: RSA Agent name “apidd" for example
- Client Key: RSA Access Key
- The certificate is the root certificate from the Security Console:
-
- Launch Internet Explorer, and go to https://server_name/sc.
- Right-click on the lock and select Properties.
- In the Properties dialog box, click Certificates.
- In the Certificate dialog box, select the Certification Path tab.
- Click the top item in the certificate path.
- Click View Certificate.
- In the Certificate dialog box, click the Details tab.
- Click Copy to File.
- On the Certificate Export Wizard page, click Next.
- On the Export File Format page, select Base 64 encoded binary X.509 (.CER).
- Click Next.
- On the File to Export page, click Browse.
- Browse to a location to store the root certificate, enter am_root.cer in the File Name field.
- Make sure that the Save As type is set to Base-64 encoded X.509.CER.
- On the File to Export page, click Next.
- On the Completing the Certificate Export page, click Finish.
- Click OK.
- Edit the certificate file with the .cer extension in a text editor.
- Copy the entire text, including the lines of BEGIN CERTIFICATE and END CERTIFICATE and add it to the Data Domain-certificate part.
- Add the usernames secofficer and sysadmin with the password created.
Notes
The Client ID (apidd) is the TCP agent name that is configured on the Security Console.
