Configuring the Encrypted Transmission
Scenario
This section describes how to configure the server and client parameters of the Flume service (including the Flume and MonitorServer roles) after the cluster is installed to ensure proper running of the service.
This section applies to MRS 3.x or later clusters.
Prerequisites
The cluster and Flume service have been installed.
Procedure
- Generate the certificate trust lists of the server and client of the Flume role respectively.
- Remotely log in to the node using ECM where the Flume server is to be installed as user omm. Go to the ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/bin directory.
cd ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/bin
The version 8.1.0.1 is used as an example. Replace it with the actual version number.
- Run the following command to generate and export the server and client certificates of the Flume role:
The generated certificate is saved in the ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/conf path .
- flume_sChat.jks is the certificate library of the Flume role server. flume_sChat.crt is the exported file of the flume_sChat.jks certificate. -f indicates the password of the certificate and certificate library.
- flume_cChat.jks is the certificate library of the Flume role client. flume_cChat.crt is the exported file of the flume_cChat.jks certificate. -g indicates the password of the certificate and certificate library.
- flume_sChatt.jks and flume_cChatt.jks are the SSL certificate trust lists of the Flume server and client, respectively.
All user-defined passwords involved in this section must meet the following requirements:
- The password must contain at least four types of uppercase letters, lowercase letters, digits, and special characters.
- The password must contain 8 to 64 characters.
- It is recommended that the user-defined passwords be changed periodically (for example, every three months), and certificates and trust lists be generated again to ensure security.
- Remotely log in to the node using ECM where the Flume server is to be installed as user omm. Go to the ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/bin directory.
- Configure the server parameters of the Flume role and upload the configuration file to the cluster.
- Remotely log in to any node where the Flume role is located as user omm using ECM. Run the following command to go to the ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/bin directory:
cd ${BIGDATA_HOME}/FusionInsight_Porter_8.1.0.1/install/FusionInsight-Flume-1.9.0/flume/bin
- Run the following command to generate and obtain Flume server keystore password, trust list password, and keystore-password encrypted private key information. Enter the password twice and confirm the password. It is the password of the flume_sChat.jks certificate library.
./genPwFile.sh
cat password.property
- Use the Flume configuration tool on the FusionInsight Manager portal to configure the server parameters and generate the configuration file.
- Log in to FusionInsight Manager. Choose Services > Flume > Configuration Tool.
- Set Agent Name to server. Select the source, channel, and sink to be used, drag them to the GUI on the right, and connect them.
For example, use Avro Source, File Channel, and HDFS Sink.
- Double-click the source, channel, and sink. Set corresponding configuration parameters by seeing Table 1 based on the actual environment.
- If the server parameters of the Flume role have been configured, you can choose Services > Flume > Instance on FusionInsight Manager. Then select the corresponding Flume role instance and click the Download button behind the flume.config.file parameter on the Instance Configurations page to obtain the existing server parameter configuration file. Choose Services > Flume > Import to change the relevant configuration items of encrypted transmission after the file is imported.
- It is recommended that the numbers of Sources, Channels, and Sinks do not exceed 40 during configuration file import. Otherwise, the response time may be very long.
- Click Export to save the properties.properties configuration file to the local.

When copying the client certificate, you need to enter the password of user user of the host (for example, 10.196.26.1) where the client resides.
- Log in to the node where the Flume client is decompressed as user user. Run the following command to go to the client directory opt/flume-client/fusionInsight-flume-1.9.0/bin.
cd opt/flume-client/fusionInsight-flume-1.9.0/bin
- Run the following command to generate and obtain Flume client keystore password, trust list password, and keystore-password encrypted private key information. Enter the password twice and confirm the password. The password is the same as the password of the certificate whose alias is flumechatclient and the password of the flume_cChat.jks certificate library.
./genPwFile.sh
cat password.property
If the following error message is displayed, run the export JAVA_HOME=JDK path command.
JAVA_HOME is null in current user,please install the JDK and set the JAVA_HOME
