Broker Configuration

The broker can be configured though environment variables or configuration files or a combo of both.

Configuration File

A configuration file can be provided at run time to the broker.

cloud-service-broker serve --config <config file name>

A configuration file can be YAML or JSON. Config file values that are . delimited represent hierarchy in the config file.

Example:

db:
  host: hostname

represents a config file value of db.host

Database Configuration Properties

Connection details for the backing database for the service broker.

You can configure the following values:

Environment Variable Config File Value Type Description
DB_HOST * db.host string

Database host

DB_USERNAME db.user string

Database username

DB_PASSWORD db.password secret

Database password

DB_PORT * db.port string

Database port (defaults to 3306) Default: 3306
DB_NAME * db.name string

Database name Default: servicebroker
CA_CERT db.ca.cert text

Server CA cert

CLIENT_CERT db.client.cert text

Client cert

CLIENT_KEY db.client.key text

Client key

ENCRYPTION_ENABLED db.encryption.enabled Boolean

Enable encryption of sensitive data in the database

ENCRYPTION_PASSWORDS db.encryption.passwords text

JSON collection of passwords

Example:

db:
  host: hostname
  encryption:
    enabled: true
    passwords: "[{\"label\":\"first-password\",{\"password\":{\"secret\": \"veryStrongSecurePassword\"}},\"primary\": true}]"

Example Encryption Passwords JSON object:

[
  {
    "label": "first-password",
    "password": {
      "secret": "veryStrongSecurePassword"
    },
    "primary": true
  }
]

Enabling first time encryption

  1. Set encryption.enabled to true and add a password to the collection of passwords and mark it as primary.
  2. Restart the CSB app.

Rotating encryption keys

  1. Add a new password to the collection of passwords and mark it as primary. The previous primary password should still be provided and no longer marked as primary.
  2. Restart the CSB app.
  3. Once the app has successfully started, the old password(s) can be removed from the configuration.

Disabling encryption (after it was enabled)

  1. Set encryption.enabled to false. The previous primary password should still be provided and no longer marked as primary.
  2. Restart the CSB app.
  3. Once the app has successfully started, the old password(s) can be removed from the configuration.
