# NetKingdom Security Map (ops-warden view)
|
|
|
|
Date: 2026-06-17
|
|
|
|
Condensed literacy guide for ops-warden stewards and development workers.
|
|
Canonical source remains `net-kingdom/docs/platform-identity-security-architecture.md`.
|
|
|
|
ops-warden **implements** the operational SSH lane and **documents** how the
|
|
other lanes connect.
|
|
|

|
|
## Planes
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Bootstrap plane railiance-infra, railiance-cluster, net-kingdom bootstrap
|
|
Platform control key-cape, flex-auth, OpenBao, Topaz, railiance-platform
|
|
Tenant plane railiance-apps, coulomb workloads, future tenants
|
|
Operational access ops-warden (SSH certs), ops-bridge (tunnels)
|
|
```

## Component map
|
|
|
|
| Component | Answers | Credential types | ops-warden |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| **key-cape** | Who are you? (lightweight IAM) | OIDC tokens, MFA | Route — do not issue |
|
|
| **Keycloak** | Who are you? (expanded IAM) | OIDC/SAML federation | Route — do not issue |
|
|
| **privacyIDEA** | MFA / step-up | OTP, hardware tokens | Route — do not issue |
|
|
| **flex-auth** | May you do this action? | Policy decisions, audit envelopes | Future SSH pre-sign; route today |
|
|
| **Topaz** | PDP runtime for flex-auth | Authorization evaluations | Route — do not issue |
|
|
| **OpenBao** | Runtime secret authority | API keys, DB creds, leases, K8s auth | SSH engine **signing backend** only |
|
|
| **ops-warden** | SSH ops access | Short-lived SSH certificates | **Own and issue** |
|
|
| **ops-bridge** | Tunnel transport | Uses certs via cert_command | Consumer |
|
|
| **railiance-infra** | Host enforcement | auth_principals, sshd | Route — deploy hosts |
|
|
| **railiance-platform** | Platform deploy | OpenBao, Postgres, ingress | Route — do not deploy from warden |
|
|

## Credential lanes (summary)
|
|
|
|
| Lane | Owner | Lifetime | Worker entrypoint |
|
|
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
|
|
| Identity | key-cape / Keycloak | Session / token TTL | Login / OIDC |
|
|
| Authorization | flex-auth | Per request | Policy API / embedded PEP |
|
|
| Runtime secrets | OpenBao | Lease-bound | `bao` CLI, K8s ESO, app integration |
|
|
| SSH operational | ops-warden | adm 48h / agt 24h / atm 8h | `warden sign` |
|
|
| Tunnel | ops-bridge | Session | `bridge` + cert_command |
|
|
|
|
Full routing: `wiki/CredentialRouting.md`.

|
|
|
## Trust flow (simplified)
|
|
|
|
```text
|
|
Worker request
|
|
-> Identity? key-cape / Keycloak
|
|
-> Authorized? flex-auth
|
|
-> Secret material? OpenBao
|
|
-> SSH cert? ops-warden
|
|
-> Tunnel? ops-bridge (cert from warden)
|
|
-> Host accepts? railiance-infra principals
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
OpenBao does **not** replace identity or authorization. flex-auth decides;
|
|
OpenBao stores/issues; ops-warden signs SSH certs when host reachability is
|
|
the need.

## NetKingdom documents to watch
|
|
|
|
| Document | Why ops-warden cares |
|
|
| --- | --- |
|
|
| `platform-identity-security-architecture.md` | Planes, secret path, SSH path |
|
|
| `responsibility-map.md` | Operational SSH dependency section |
|
|
| `platform-identity-security-architecture.md` | Operational SSH Path section |
|
|
| `platform-root-custody.md` | OpenBao ceremony — not warden's job |
|
|
| `object-storage-sts-credential-vending.md` | S3 creds — never warden |
|
|
| `canon/standards/iam-profile_v0.2.md` | Claims for future policy-gated sign |
|
|
|
|
When these change, update ops-warden wiki and `wiki/CredentialRouting.md`.
|
|

|
|
|
|
## Recursive platform rule
|
|
|
|
Tenant admins (including `tenant:coulomb`) must not gain platform-root
|
|
authority. ops-warden SSH actors should use **narrow principals** for agent
|
|
and automation work — not platform-admin equivalents on hosts.
