About the Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator Extension

This repository contains a Universal Orchestrator Extension which is a plugin to the Keyfactor Universal Orchestrator. Within the Keyfactor Platform, Orchestrators are used to manage “certificate stores” — collections of certificates and roots of trust that are found within and used by various applications.

The Universal Orchestrator is part of the Keyfactor software distribution and is available via the Keyfactor customer portal. For general instructions on installing Extensions, see the “Keyfactor Command Orchestrator Installation and Configuration Guide” section of the Keyfactor documentation. For configuration details of this specific Extension see below in this readme.

The Universal Orchestrator is the successor to the Windows Orchestrator. This Orchestrator Extension plugin only works with the Universal Orchestrator and does not work with the Windows Orchestrator.

Bosch Camera Configuration

Overview

The Bosch IP Camera Orchestrator remotely manages certificates on the camera.

This agent implements two job types – Inventory and Reenrollment. Below are the steps necessary to configure Universal Orchestrator extension.

Bosch IP Camera Configuration

  1. Out of the box, the camera comes with three accounts. You need an account created that has "service" level access:
  2. Currently supports Bosch firmware version 7.10.0095 - 7.82. Has not been tested with any other firmeware version.

1. Create the New Certificate Store Type for the Bosch IP Camera Universal Orchestrator

In Keyfactor Command create a new Certificate Store Type similar to the one below:

STORE TYPE CONFIGURATION

Setting Tab Config Element Value
Basic Name Bosch IP Camera
Basic Short Name BIPCamera
Basic Custom Capability ✓ value: BoschIpCamera
Basic Job Types Inventory, Reenrollment
Basic Needs Server
Advanced Store Path Type Freeform
Advanced Supports Custom Alias Required
Advanced Private Key Handling Optional
Advanced PFX Password Style Default
Entry Parameters See Below See Below

Basic Settings:

Advanced Settings:

Entry Params:

The entry parameters that need to be created are as follows:

Name Display Name Type Default Value Multiple Choice Options Required When
CertificateUsage Certificate Usage Multiple Choice ,HTTPS,EAP-TLS-client,TLS-DATE-client none selected
Name Name (Alias) String N/A ✓ Reenrolling an entry
Overwrite Overwrite Bool False N/A none selected

2. Register the BoschIPCamera Universal Orchestrator with Keyfactor

Within Windows File Explorer, navigate to the Keyfactor Orchestrator installation folder (usually C:\Program Files\Keyfactor\Keyfactor Orchestrator), find the "extensions" folder, and under that create a new folder named "BoschIPCamera". Under the BoschIPCamera folder copy all of the files from the downloaded release to this location.

3. Create a Bosch IP Camera Store within Keyfactor Command

In Keyfactor Command create a new Certificate Store setting the values based on the camera settings below:

STORE CONFIGURATION

Config Element Description
Category The type of certificate store to be configured. Select category based on the display name configured above "Bosch IP Camera".
Container This is a logical grouping of like stores. This configuration is optional and does not impact the functionality of the store.
Client Machine The IP address of the Camera. Sample is "192.167.231.174:44444". Include the port if necessary.
Store Path Enter the Serial Number of the camera e.g. 068745431065110085
Orchestrator This is the orchestrator server registered with the appropriate capabilities to manage this certificate store type.
Server Username Enter the username of the configured "service" user on the camera
Server Password Enter the password of the configured "service" user on the camera
Use SSL Select True or False depending on if SSL (HTTPS) should be used to communicate with the camera.
Inventory Schedule The interval that the system will use to report on what certificates are currently in the store.

Usage

Reenrollment

Important! When using Reenrollment, the subject needs to include the Camera's serial number as an element. The Camera automatically adds this to the CSR it generates, and Keyfactor will not enroll the CSR unless it is included. For example, with a serial number of '1234' and a desired subject of CN=mycert, the Subject entered for a reenrollment should read: Subject: SERIALNUMBER=1234,CN=mycert The serial number is entered as the Store Path on the Certificate Store, and should be copied and entered as mentioned when running a reenrollment job.

Reenrollment Field Value Description
Subject Name SERIALNUMBER=xxxx,CN=mycert,O=... etc. Comma-separated list of subject elements. Must include SERIALNUMBER= as described above.
Alias Alias The certificate Alias, and name to be assigned on the camera. Will allow for overwriting existing certs with the same name.
Certificate Usage Select one, or blank The Certificate Usage to assign to the cert after upload. Can be left blank to be assigned later.
Name (Alias) Alias The certificate Alias, entered again.
Overwrite True, or False Select True if using an existing Alias name to remove and replace an existing certificate.

Running a Reenrollment job to issue a new certificate on the camera can happen in two ways.

Manual Reenrollment Scheduling

Right click on the cert store and chooose Reenrollment. In the dialog box, type "SERIALNUMBER=xxxx,CN=Test" and click Done. A job will be created in the job queue that will perform on camera CSR that will be signed by a CA integrated with Keyfactor and then uploaded to the camera. Once complete, the camera will be rebooted.

Automated Reenrollment Scheduling with Expiration Alerts

Start by installing the ExperationAlertHandler.ps1 on the Command server.

Keyfactor Command before version 11: copy the PowerShell to the ExtensionLibrary folder in the install location, typically C:\Program Files\Keyfactor\ExtensionLibrary

Keyfactor Command version 11+: upload the script using the API documented here so it can be used in an Expiration Alert Handler

After installing the PowerShell script, create a collection for each certificate type (or one for all cert types) used on cameras. Create an expiration alert and configure the Event Handler similar to the one below.

Event Handler Configuration
Parameter Name Type Value
DN Token dn
Host Value FDDN of keyfactor server. Example: https://customer.keyfactor.com
Locations Token locations:certstore
ScriptName Script ExpirationAlertHandler.ps1

When creating cert store type manually, that store property names and entry parameter names are case sensitive
