bosh2 stuff

v1 vs v2 https://bosh.io/docs/cli-v2-diff.html

bosh2 is strict about SSL certs. If a director has been initialized using bosh1 cli, connecting to the director via bosh2 cli will throw the folowing error :

ubuntu@bosh-stemcell:~$ bosh2 alias-env dev -e 10.193.72.9 
Fetching info:
  Performing request GET 'https://10.193.72.9:25555/info':
    Performing GET request:
      Retry: Get https://10.193.72.9:25555/info: x509: cannot validate certificate for 10.193.72.9 because it doesn't contain any IP SANs

To fix this issue, follow the reference doc here : http://bosh.io/docs/director-certs bosh2 is used as a cert generator here.

create a template file :

variables:
- name: default_ca
  type: certificate
  options:
    is_ca: true
    common_name: bosh_ca
- name: director_ssl
  type: certificate
  options:
    ca: default_ca
    common_name: ((internal_ip))
    alternative_names: [((internal_ip))]
- name: uaa_ssl
  type: certificate
  options:
    ca: default_ca
    common_name: ((internal_ip))
    alternative_names: [((internal_ip))]
- name: uaa_service_provider_ssl
  type: certificate
  options:
    ca: default_ca
    common_name: ((internal_ip))
    alternative_names: [((internal_ip))]

run the following command :

bosh2 interpolate tpl.yml -v internal_ip=<director_ip> --vars-store certs.yml

This will generate a certs.yml with root_ca, cert and private key in director_ssl section.

edit the yml file to update the following sections :

...
jobs:
- name: bosh
 properties:
   director:
     ssl:
       key: |
         -----BEGIN RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
         MII...
         -----END RSA PRIVATE KEY-----
       cert: |
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
         MII...
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----
...
hm:
     
     director_account:
       
       ca_cert: |
         -----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
        
         -----END CERTIFICATE-----

If there is an existing director, detach the persistent disk and delete the vm from vSphere. Update the bosh-state.json so that new VM is created upon the next director deploy command
deploy director with the new updated certs.

bosh2 create-env bosh.yml
