Security Bootstrap Console
Local console and localhost web UI for the NetKingdom guided security bootstrap experience.
The console prints trust stage, gates, checklists, non-secret templates, and can write an explicit custody-mode approval record. It does not collect secret values and refuses live OpenBao initialization.
Run:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py status
Print the king credential kit checklist:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py king-kit
Validate non-secret kit metadata:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py \
--metadata .local/security-bootstrap.json \
validate-king-kit
Approve custody mode from the CLI:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py \
--metadata .local/security-bootstrap.json \
approve-custody-mode \
--mode temporary-single-king \
--mfa-enrolled-confirmed \
--mfa-enrollment-source identity-provider \
--recovery-confirmed \
--custody-packet-prepared
The command asks for the phrase approve custody mode unless --yes is passed.
two-of-three-planned can be recorded in metadata but cannot approve live
OpenBao init.
For TOTP, use the QR code or setup key from the identity provider or other authority that will verify the login. This tool records only the non-secret enrollment confirmation and source.
Recovery material means the operator can regain control of the platform-root credential and encrypted bootstrap bundle without this UI storing any values: the platform-root password-safe entry, MFA recovery or re-enrollment path, custodian age private-key location, encrypted bootstrap bundle location, and notification/setup contact are all known.
The custody packet is separate. It is the offline OpenBao ceremony envelope: selected custody strategy, recovery-material references, init checklist, unseal-share assignment slots, root-token disposition plan, and signature/date. Select the custody strategy first, prepare recovery material and the custody packet for that strategy, then approve the strategy. Only after that approval should the OpenBao preflight/init sequence begin.
Secret capture is an architecture gate, not a user checkbox. The control surface must not request or store passwords, OTP seeds, recovery codes, private keys, OpenBao root tokens, or unseal shares. The UI reports this automatically from local metadata and plaintext bootstrap-secret presence.
Serve the local approval UI:
make security-bootstrap-ui
Open http://127.0.0.1:8876.
The Make target stores non-secret progress in .local/security-bootstrap.json.
That directory is intentionally ignored by Git so local setup state survives
UI/server restarts without being committed.
The web UI is structured as:
- Roles & Responsibilities - global bootstrap roles with designated operator emails.
- Subsystems & Scope - installation and initial access for LLDAP, privacyIDEA, KeyCape, the custodian age envelope, and Railiance OpenBao.
- Integration & Tests - OIDC and OpenBao preflight checks, with every operator command shown as a copyable console block.
- Usecases & Runbooks - guided routines for key-material compromise, trial-output exposure, replacement unseal keys, and OpenBao token revocation.
- Artefacts & Locations - final non-secret overview of established artefacts and where to find their custody references.
Role, subsystem, integration, and artefact records use the same fields:
name, description, subsystem, responsibility, location, and state.
States are nil, set, err, and ok. Role chips expose the designated
email as hover text.
Responsibility assignments are edited through the Change responsibilities
foldout. Editing enables local Save/Cancel actions; Save writes only non-secret
role metadata and Cancel restores the last loaded values. Command cards use
blocked, todo, redo, and done to show whether an operator command is
available, needs to be run, should be repeated after a state change, or has
already succeeded.
The Key material compromised runbook is also useful for trial ceremonies: mark the trial output as exposed, stop treating the generated unseal shares or root token as production material, then either rotate unseal keys after unseal or reset the trial environment before any live secrets are migrated.
The OpenBao token revocation runbook includes a self-revoke action for the token currently stored in the OpenBao pod token helper and an accessor-based revocation action for accidentally disclosed tokens. The accessor path prompts inside the pod for a root/sudo-capable OpenBao token and avoids placing token values on the local command line.
The UI is a guide and approval surface, not the identity provider. Current lightweight-mode credential placement is:
- bootstrap bundle encryption: custodian age public key;
- user record: LLDAP (
https://lldap.coulomb.social); - MFA enrollment and QR/setup key: privacyIDEA self-service
(
https://pink-account.coulomb.social); - privacyIDEA setup/admin repair:
pi-adminathttps://pink.coulomb.social; - OIDC/IAM Profile token issuer: KeyCape (
https://kc.coulomb.social); - secret custody and OpenBao admin policies: OpenBao, after the attended ceremony.
The UI opens the external authority in a new browser tab and records only non-secret progress. It does not embed or prefill secret-bearing forms unless a future audited integration is built for that authority.
The custodian age public key is safe to store here and is used as the recipient
for encrypted bootstrap bundles. The private age key is not stored here. Record
only a non-secret private-key custody reference, such as a password-safe entry
label or offline packet label. See
docs/security-bootstrap-age-custody.md for the trust model.
LLDAP has no public registration flow. The first user path is:
- Log in to
https://lldap.coulomb.socialasadmin. - Retrieve
LLDAP_LDAP_USER_PASSfrom the password safe entrynet-kingdom/LLDAP/admin. - Create the dedicated
platform-rootorkingaccount. - Add it to
net-kingdom-adminsfor the current lightweight path. - Store the new account password only in the password safe/offline custody packet, not in this metadata file.
For OTP enrollment, do not create a separate shadow identity in privacyIDEA if
the LLDAP resolver is working. Use pi-admin to verify or repair the
privacyIDEA realm, resolver, and self-enrollment policy. Then use
platform-root in the self-service portal to generate the QR code or setup
key and verify the factor. Admin-assisted token assignment is a fallback only;
record it as the MFA enrollment source, but never record the seed, QR code, or
recovery codes in this UI.
If the live privacyIDEA instance has lost the coulomb realm, LLDAP resolver,
or self-service policies, open Usecases & Runbooks and copy Repair
privacyIDEA realm and self-service. The action is attended: it prompts for
the pi-admin password and the LLDAP bind/admin password, writes them only to a
private temporary directory, runs
sso-mfa/k8s/privacyidea/repair-realm-live.sh, removes the temporary files on
exit, and then runs sso-mfa/k8s/verify-t06.sh. The UI does not store either
password, and TOTP enrollment or re-enrollment remains a human step in
https://pink-account.coulomb.social.
After doing that, return to the control surface, set account reference
platform-root@lldap, check Account created, Admin group assigned, and
Password stored, then save progress.
KeyCape does not have a dashboard at its root URL; https://kc.coulomb.social
returning 404 is expected. Use
https://kc.coulomb.social/.well-known/openid-configuration for issuer
discovery or a registered OIDC client to test real login. The bootstrap UI acts
as the local netkingdom-bootstrap-console callback at
http://127.0.0.1:8876/oidc/callback.
Treat that as a login-path check only: it should force LLDAP password auth and
privacyIDEA MFA, then return to the local callback page. The callback exchanges
the code and shows non-secret claims only; it does not store tokens, OTP values,
or passwords. Mark OIDC login verified only for the same identity recorded in
the credential section.
If the login-check flow redirects to
https://kc.coulomb.social/api/oidc/authorization... and lands on a 404, the
KeyCape service is reachable but its browser-facing Authelia redirect config is
not yet rolled out. Regenerate keycape-config with
sso-mfa/k8s/keycape/create-secrets.sh and restart the KeyCape deployment
after confirming authelia.browserBaseURL is https://auth.coulomb.social.
After Authelia password login, KeyCape should show a compact OTP challenge if privacyIDEA reports that MFA is required. Only then should it issue the final OIDC authorization code back to the local callback.
Print a blank offline custody packet template:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py custody-packet
Show safe OpenBao preflight commands:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py openbao-preflight \
--railiance-path ../railiance-platform
Run safe OpenBao preflight targets:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py openbao-preflight \
--railiance-path ../railiance-platform \
--run
This still does not run bao operator init.
Validate the current NET-WP-0017-T02 OpenBao audit/recovery gates:
make security-bootstrap-validate-t02
The validator checks local non-secret metadata, the next independent quorum roster, the Audit Core retention/risk decision, and the Railiance restore and emergency-drill evidence validators. It fails until real evidence files exist, the signed custody roster exists, and the remaining T02 metadata gates are recorded.
Create and validate the local two-of-three custody roster:
make security-bootstrap-custody-roster-template \
> .local/custody-roster.json
# Edit .local/custody-roster.json locally. It may contain real contact data,
# so it is ignored by Git and must not be copied into State Hub or workplans.
make security-bootstrap-sign-custody-roster
make security-bootstrap-validate-custody-roster
The roster is tamper-evident through an SSH detached signature with namespace
netkingdom-custody-roster. The default signer is
~/.ssh/id_custodian_agent; the local allowed-signers file is written to
.local/custody-roster.allowed_signers.
OpenBao itself is operated from the Railiance runbook. Public ingress is
disabled, so the live ceremony uses Railiance make targets, kubectl exec,
or an operator port-forward. The local UI can record non-secret milestones
such as preflight passed, initialized/unsealed, root-token disposition, and
restore drill passed; it must never record root tokens or unseal shares.
Optional non-secret metadata can be supplied:
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py metadata-template \
> .local/security-bootstrap.json
python3 tools/security-bootstrap-console/security_bootstrap_console.py \
--metadata .local/security-bootstrap.json \
status
Do not put passwords, OTP seeds, OpenBao root tokens, unseal shares, recovery codes, private keys, or screenshots of secret output into the metadata file.
