Authorizing Access to Cloud Assets

Description

• If you complete the authorization for each asset module, CBH can have the following permissions for each service:
  • CSMS: CBH has the permissions needed to query your credential list in CSMS. You can select credentials as resource accounts on your CBH instance.
    

    For secrets invoked through the bastion host, the account and password must comply with Key specifications. For details about how to create a secret, see Data Encryption Workshop > Cloud Secret Management Service.

    Example:

    username:root

    password:*****

  • KMS: CBH has the permissions needed to use KMS APIs to obtain credentials in CSMS. You can use obtained credentials to log in to the hosts managed by your CBH instance.
  • ECS: CBH will have the permissions to query your ECS list. You can synchronize your ECS list to the host list in CBH in just a few clicks.
  • RDS: CBH will have the permissions to query your RDS instance list. You can synchronize your RDS instance list to the host list in CBH in just a few clicks.
• After you authorize CBH to access KMS, CSMS, ECS, and RDS, it takes about 10 minutes for your bastion host to obtain the delegation tokens.
