Re: Incubation Proposal: CredHub (credential manager)


Michael Maximilien
 

Thanks all. We will be moving for a vote on CredHub this week.

Therefore it's important for all to chime in (if you have additional
questions or comments) on this proposal. Silence means all good.

Please use the Google Docs that Dan initially sent. Best,

Hi Daniel,

I'm glad you are excited for CredHub.

The repos are currently in pivotal-cf as a first step to open sourcing
them and moving them to the foundation. As soon as we get the official
approval on the incubation request, they will be moved to the appropriate
CFF org.

Thanks,
Dan

Hi all,

CredHub sounds awesome.

I noticed that the GitHub repository is in the `pivotal-cf` organisation
<https://github.com/pivotal-cf/credhub.git>.

Is CredHub going to be a proprietary value-add of the PCF distribution?
Or is it going to be OS for all to use, and owned by the Foundation?

Hi Mathias -

(Copying my reply in the doc for visibility) Correct, our initial plan is
for CredHub to store the service credentials. This feature work is a
separate initiative and a proposal will be sent out to the community for
comment before it is implemented.

We will not focus on applications directly leveraging CredHub beyond
service credentials for this work, but it will move us closer to enabling
that use case.

Hi Dan,
thumps up for the proposal.

Thinking about application secrets. You state to also cover "Conceal
service credentials from the Cloud Controller". Assuming you mean to
encrypt e.g. passwords that are stored in the env of an application, right?
So I assume this will help applications already to securely store their
secrets.

Is my assumption right?
