C. Installation
1. Check SHA1 checksum of the Warden server package archive.
$ sha1sum -c warden-server-2.1.tar.gz.sig
2. Untar it.
$ tar xzvf warden-server-2.1.tar.gz
3. Run install.sh.
Default destination directory is /opt/warden-server/
For more information about install.sh options run install.sh -h
You must be root for running this script.
4. Configuration files
You are advised to check configuration file warden-apache.conf,
warden-server.conf and warden-client.conf in warden-server/etc/
directory after installation. For more information about post-installation
steps see INSTALL file.
Although this is the Warden server package it also contains several
functions (for administration and maintenance) that are strictly
client-side in a way the Warden system handles functions. Therefore you have
to check both server and client config files to make sure your installation
of the Warden server was successful and complete.
SOAP protocol is used for handling communication between server and clients.
Therefore, correct URI of Warden server must be set.
Authentication of clients and server is performed using client and server
SSL certificates. Both clients and server must have valid certificate.
Configuration files contain following parameters:
a) warden-client.conf:
URI - URI Warden server
e.g. 'https://warden.server.com:443/Warden'
SSL_KEY_FILE - path to a host key file,
e.g. '/etc/ssl/private/warden.server.com.key'
SSL_CERT_FILE - path to a host certificate file,
e.g. '/etc/ssl/certs/warden.server.com.pem'
SSL_CA_FILE - path to a CA file
e.g. '/etc/ssl/certs/tcs-ca-bundle.pem'
b) warden-server.conf
The Warden server configuration file contains:
BASEDIR - base directory of the Warden server
e.g. /opt/warden-server/
FACILITY - syslog facility
e.g. local7
DB_NAME - MySQL database name of Warden server
e.g. warden
DB_USER - MySQL database user of Warden server
e.g. warden
DB_PASS - MySQL database password of Warden server
DB_HOST - MySQL database host
e.g. localhost
MAX_EVENTS_LIMIT - maximum number of events that can be downloaded from Warden server
in a single getNewEvents client function call
e.g. 2000000
c) warden-apache.conf

5. Usage of install.sh
Usage: $ ./install.sh [-d <directory>] [-k <ssl_key_file>]
[-c <ssl_cert_file>] [-a <ssl_ca_file>] [-hV]"
-d <directory> installation directory (default: /opt)
-k <ssl_key_file> SSL certificate key file path
-c <ssl_cert_file> SSL certificate file path
-a <ssl_ca_file> CA certificate file path
-h print this help
-V print script version number and exit
Example: $ ./install.sh -d /opt -k /etc/ssl/private/server.key
-c /etc/ssl/certs/server.pem
-a /etc/ssl/certs/bundle.pem
6. Usage of uninstall.sh
Usage: $ ./uninstall.sh [-d <directory>] [-hV]
-d <directory> uninstallation directory (default: /opt)
-h print this help
-V print script version number and exit
Example: # ./uninstall.sh -d /opt
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
D. Miscellaneous
1. Error Messages
Error messages of the server functions are sent via Syslog.
Default is local7 facility.
2. Firewall Settings
Make sure that the TCP port listed in /etc/apache2/sites-enables/default
is allowed on your firewall.
3. Privileges
The Warden server runs only under root privileges.
4. Known Issues
No issues are known.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
E. Registration of Clients
The Warden server administrator is responsible for registering new clients or
removing those already registered. Both registration or unregistration scripts
are provided in the Warden server package. Those scripts should be run from
localhost (the same machine the Warden server is installed and running on).
Members of Warden community who would like to have their client registered must
contact the Warden server administrator with the requirement. This is usually
done via secured e-mail. Requestor should provide all important data to the
Warden server administrator so that the client can be successfully registered.
1. Register Sender
New sender clients are registered in Warden system via registerSender.pl.
Following attributes must be provided in order to register new client
successfully:
hostname - hostname of the client,
requestor - organization or authorized person who demands new
client registration,
service - name of the service of a new registered client,
description_tags - tags describing the nature of the service,
ip_net_client - CIDR the client is only allowed to communicate from.
One can run registerSender.pl with -h argument to see a help.
2. Register Receiver
New receiver clients are registered in Warden system via
registerReceiver.pl.
Following attributes must be provided in order to register new client
successfully:
hostname - hostname of the client,
requestor - organization or authorized person who demands new
client registration,
type - the type of events the client wish to receive or '_any_'
for receiving of all types of events,
receive_own_events - boolean value describing if events originating from
the same CIDR will be sent to the client,
ip_net_client - CIDR the client is only allowed to communicate from.
One can run registerReceiver.pl with -h argument to see a help.
3. Unregister Client
In the Warden system, already registered clients can be removed
(unregistered) via unregisterClient.pl.
Following attribute must be provided in order to unregister existing client
successfully:
client_id - ID of the client that should be removed (unregistered).
One can run unregisterClient.pl with -h argument to see a help.
The process of unregistration deletes this client from clients table in DB.
But all messages stored by this client (considering "sender" client) are not
deleted, they are merely set 'invalid' in DB table events.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F. Status Info
Functions in this section show status of the Warden server and active
(registered) clients to the Warden system administrator.
Similarly to (un)registration, these functions should be run from
localhost (e. g. from the same machine the Warden server is installed and
running on).
1. Get Status
Function getStatus is accessible via getStatus.pl. Function has no input
parameters and returns info about the Warden server and its DB status.
2. Get Clients
Function getClients is accessible via getClients.pl. Function has no input
parameters and returns detailed information about all registered clients.
