Lab 0: Setup steps

Accessing your dedicated lab environment using your provided GUID

1. From your laptop, navigate to the Lab GUID Assignment page. Firefox with plugins disabled recommended. From this page, you will be assigned your unique GUID, which you will use to access your unique lab environment and systems.

2. Select the proper Lab Code. This Implementing proactive security and compliance automation and DevSecOps lab has two main sections: infrastructure/operations security and compliance automation lab exercises and application security and compliance automation lab exercises. Decide which section you want to work on first. If you want to work on the infrastructure/operations security and compliance automation lab exercises, select SECURITYMA1 - Implementing proactive security and compliance automation and DevSecOps from the drop down list. If you want to work on the application security and compliance automation lab exercises, select TC9818 -AD - Implementing proactive security and compliance automation and DevSecOps from the drop down list.

3. Enter the Activation Key, which is security.

4. The resulting Lab GUID Assignment page will display your lab’s GUID and other useful information about your lab environment. Take note of your assigned GUID. You will use this GUID to access your lab’s environment and systems. Your unique GUID will also be embedded in your lab environment’s host names. From this Lab GUID Assignment page, you will also be able to access your unique lab environment’s power control and consoles.

   

5. When you are completely done with your lab environment, please click FORGET SESSION so that you can move on to the next lab. If you fail to do this, you will be locked into the GUID from the previous lab. In order to move from the infrastructure/operations security and compliance automation lab exercises (Lab Exercises #1-6) to the application security and compliance automation lab exercises (Lab Exercise #7) and vice versa, you will have to push the FORGET SESSION button, select the appropriate option from the drop down list as mentioned above, and get your GUID.

   Note	Clicking FORGET SESSION will not stop or delete the lab environment.

Logging into all the Red Hat Products

1. Let’s log into the Red Hat Products that you will use for the infrastructure and operations security and compliance automation lab exercises in this lab (Lab Exercises #1-6).

2. The Lab GUID Assignment page contains a list of links to all of the Red Hat Products that you will use in this lab. Click each of the links on this page. Each link should open a new tab. You will have to accept the SSL certificates for each page when the warning appears.

The table below also shows the links to the Red Hat Products you need to be logged into for the infrastructure and operations security and compliance automation lab exercises in this lab (Lab Exercises #1-6). All the steps for the application security and compliance automation lab exercise are detailed in Lab 7.

Red Hat Products to log into for Lab Exercises #1-6:

Red Hat Product	URL	Username	Password
Red Hat Ansible Tower	https://tower-GUID.rhpds.opentlc.com	admin	r3dh4t1!
Red Hat Satellite	https://sat64-GUID.rhpds.opentlc.com	admin	r3dh4t1!
Red Hat CloudForms	https://cfme-GUID.rhpds.opentlc.com	admin	r3dh4t1!

Verifying you can SSH into the workstation system

1. From the Lab GUID Assignment page, copy the hostname of the workstation system (it should be workstation-GUID.rhpds.opentlc.com where GUID matches your environment’s guid).

2. A terminal window should already be opened for you on your Red Hat Summit provided laptop. Make sure you can SSH into the workstation host as you see below.

   [localhost ~]$ ssh [email protected]

   Note	Replace GUID with your lab’s GUID. Use the password r3dh4t1! for lab-user.

Turning on your VMs

1. Before starting the lab steps, you will need to turn on the VMs that will be used in the infrastructure and operations security and compliance automation lab exercises in this lab (Lab Exercises #1-6). These VMs live in Red Hat Virtualization, but we will be turning on these VMs from Red Hat CloudForms.

2. Go to the Red Hat CloudForms (https://cfme-GUID.rhpds.opentlc.com) tab. Make sure to replace the GUID with your provided GUID! If not already logged in, do so with admin as the Username and r3dh4t1! as the Password.

3. On the left menus, navigate to Compute → Infrastructure → Virtual Machines.

   

4. Click on the VMs accordian on the left. Then, type .hosts.example.com in the top right search bar and press the magnifying glass to search. Next, select the following VMs: rhel7-vm1.hosts.example.com, rhel7-vm2.hosts.example.com, rhel7-vm3.hosts.example.com, rhel7-vm4.hosts.example.com, rhel7-vm5.hosts.example.com, and rhel8-vm1.hosts.example.com. Navigate to the top Power button and select Power On.

   

5. Click OK.

6. Do not close your CloudForms UI since you will be using it in future lab exercises.
