• Network access to HP infrastructure

Installation

1. Clone the repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hp/infrastructure-security.git
   cd infrastructure-security/hp-security
   

2. Install dependencies:

   pip install -r requirements.txt
   ansible-galaxy install -r requirements.yml
   

3. Configure environment:

   cp .env.example .env
   # Edit .env with your credentials
   

Deployment

1. Run the security deployment playbook:

   ansible-playbook -i inventory/production deployment/ansible/hp_security_playbook.yml
   

2. Start the monitoring dashboard:

   python monitoring/security_dashboard.py -c management/configs/audit_config.yml
   

3. Run initial security audit:

   python management/scripts/security_audit.py -c management/configs/audit_config.yml -o reports/initial_audit.json

Configuration

Server Security Configuration

Edit server/configs/ilo_security.yml to customize iLO settings:

ilo_security:
  authentication:
    password_policy:
      min_length: 15
      require_mfa: true
  network:
    allowed_networks:
      - "10.0.100.0/24"

Storage Encryption Configuration

Edit storage/configs/storage_encryption.yml for storage settings:

storage_encryption:
  threePAR:
    encryption:
      algorithm: "AES-256-XTS"
      key_rotation_days: 180

Network Security Configuration

Edit network/configs/clearpass_config.yml for NAC settings:

clearpass:
  services:
    - name: "802.1X_Wired"
      authentication:
        methods:
          - "EAP-TLS"

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

1. iLO Connection Failed

   # Check iLO accessibility
   curl -k https://<ilo-ip>/redfish/v1/
   # Verify credentials
   hponcfg -w test.xml
   

2. Storage Encryption Status Unknown

   # Check storage CLI access
   ssacli ctrl all show status
   # Verify encryption status
   ssacli ctrl all show config detail | grep -i encrypt
   

3. ClearPass API Errors

   # Test API connectivity
   curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $TOKEN" https://clearpass/api/system/status
   # Check certificate validity
   openssl s_client -connect clearpass:443
   

Debug Mode

Enable debug logging:

export HP_SECURITY_DEBUG=true
python management/scripts/security_audit.py -c config.yml --debug

Security Considerations

1. Credential Management
   • Never commit credentials to repository
   • Use environment variables or secrets manager
   • Rotate credentials regularly
2. Network Security
   • Restrict management network access
   • Use dedicated VLANs for management
   • Enable firewall rules
3. Audit Logging
   • All actions are logged
   • Logs are tamper-proof
   • Regular log review required
