Introduction

This chapter demonstrates how to deploy Oracle Unified Directory (OUD) 12c instance(s) and replicated instances using the Helm package manager for Kubernetes.

The helm chart can be used to deploy an Oracle Unified Directory instance as a base, with configured sample entries, and multiple replicated Oracle Unified Directory instances/pods/services based on the specified replicaCount.

Based on the configuration, this chart deploys the following objects in the specified namespace of a Kubernetes cluster.

• Service Account
• Secret
• Persistent Volume and Persistent Volume Claim
• Pod(s)/Container(s) for Oracle Unified Directory Instances
• Services for interfaces exposed through Oracle Unified Directory Instances
• Ingress configuration

Note: From July 22 (22.3.1) onwards OUD deployment is performed using StatefulSets.

Create a Kubernetes namespace

Create a Kubernetes namespace for the OUD deployment by running the following command:

$ kubectl create namespace <namespace>

For example:

$ kubectl create namespace oudns

The output will look similar to the following:

namespace/oudns created

Create a Kubernetes secret for the container registry

Create a Kubernetes secret to stores the credentials for the container registry where the OUD image is stored. This step must be followed if using Oracle Container Registry or your own private container registry. If you are not using a container registry and have loaded the images on each of the master and worker nodes, you can skip this step.

1. Run the following command to create the secret:

   kubectl create secret docker-registry "orclcred" --docker-server=<CONTAINER_REGISTRY> \
   --docker-username="<USER_NAME>" \
   --docker-password=<PASSWORD> --docker-email=<EMAIL_ID> \
   --namespace=<domain_namespace>
   

   For example, if using Oracle Container Registry:

   $ kubectl create secret docker-registry "orclcred" --docker-server=container-registry.oracle.com \
   --docker-username="user@example.com" \
   --docker-password=password --docker-email=user@example.com \
   --namespace=oudns
   

   Replace <USER_NAME> and <PASSWORD> with the credentials for the registry with the following caveats:

   • If using Oracle Container Registry to pull the OUD container image, this is the username and password used to login to Oracle Container Registry. Before you can use this image you must login to Oracle Container Registry, navigate to Middleware > oud_cpu and accept the license agreement.

   • If using your own container registry to store the OUD container image, this is the username and password (or token) for your container registry.

   The output will look similar to the following:

   secret/orclcred created
   

Create a Kubernetes secret for cronjob images

Once OUD is deployed, if the Kubernetes node where the OUD pod(s) is/are running goes down after the pod eviction time-out, the pod(s) don’t get evicted but move to a Terminating state. The pod(s) will then remain in that state forever. To avoid this problem a cron-job is created during OUD deployment that checks for any pods in Terminating state. If there are any pods in Terminating state, the cron job will delete them. The pods will then start again automatically. This cron job requires access to images on hub.docker.com. A Kubernetes secret must therefore be created to enable access to these images.

1. Create a Kubernetes secret to access the required images on hub.docker.com:

   Note: You must first have a user account on hub.docker.com:

   $ kubectl create secret docker-registry "dockercred" --docker-server="https://index.docker.io/v1/" --docker-username="<docker_username>" --docker-password=<password> --docker-email=<docker_email_credentials> --namespace=<domain_namespace>
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl create secret docker-registry "dockercred" --docker-server="https://index.docker.io/v1/" --docker-username="username" --docker-password=<password> --docker-email=user@example.com --namespace=oudns
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   secret/dockercred created
   

The oud-ds-rs Helm chart

The oud-ds-rs Helm chart allows you to create or deploy a group of replicated Oracle Unified Directory instances along with Kubernetes objects in a specified namespace.

The deployment can be initiated by running the following Helm command with reference to the oud-ds-rs Helm chart, along with configuration parameters according to your environment.

$ cd $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm
$ helm install --namespace <namespace> \
<Configuration Parameters> \
<deployment/release name> \
<Helm Chart Path/Name>

Configuration Parameters (override values in chart) can be passed on with --set arguments on the command line and/or with -f / --values arguments when referring to files.

Note: The examples in Create OUD instances below provide values which allow the user to override the default values provided by the Helm chart. A full list of configuration parameters and their default values is shown in Appendix A: Configuration parameters.

For more details about the helm command and parameters, please execute helm --help and helm install --help.

Create OUD instances

You can create OUD instances using one of the following methods:

1. Using a YAML file
2. Using --set argument

Note: While it is possible to install sample data during the OID deployment is it not possible to load your own data via an ldif file . In order to load data in OUD, create the OUD deployment and then use ldapmodify post the ingress deployment. See Using LDAP utilities.

Using a YAML file

1. Navigate to the $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm directory:

   $ cd $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm
   

2. Create an oud-ds-rs-values-override.yaml as follows:

   image:
     repository: <image_location>
     tag: <image_tag>
     pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
   imagePullSecrets:
     - name: orclcred
   oudConfig:
     rootUserPassword: <password>
     sampleData: "200"
   persistence:
     type: filesystem
     filesystem:
       hostPath:
         path: <persistent_volume>/oud_user_projects
   cronJob:
     kubectlImage:
       repository: bitnami/kubectl
       tag: <version>
       pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    
     imagePullSecrets:
       - name: dockercred
   

   For example:

   image:
     repository: container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/oud_cpu
     tag: 12.2.1.4-jdk8-ol7-<January`23>
     pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
   imagePullSecrets:
     - name: orclcred
   oudConfig:
     rootUserPassword: <password>
     sampleData: "200"
   persistence:
     type: filesystem
     filesystem:
       hostPath:
         path: /scratch/shared/oud_user_projects
   cronJob:
     kubectlImage:
       repository: bitnami/kubectl
       tag: 1.21.6
       pullPolicy: IfNotPresent
    
     imagePullSecrets:
       - name: dockercred
   

   The following caveats exist:

   • Replace <password> with the relevant password.

   • sampleData: "200" will load 200 sample users into the default baseDN dc=example,dc=com. If you do not want sample data, remove this entry. If sampleData is set to 1,000,000 users or greater, then you must add the following entries to the yaml file to prevent inconsistencies in dsreplication:

     deploymentConfig:
       startupTime: 720
       period: 120
       timeout: 60
     

   • The <version> in kubectlImage tag: should be set to the same version as your Kubernetes version (kubectl version). For example if your Kubernetes version is 1.21.6 set to 1.21.6.

   • If you are not using Oracle Container Registry or your own container registry for your OUD container image, then you can remove the following:

     imagePullSecrets:
       - name: orclcred
     

   • If using NFS for your persistent volume then change the persistence section as follows:

     persistence:
       type: networkstorage
       networkstorage:
         nfs: 
           path: <persistent_volume>/oud_user_projects
           server: <NFS IP address>
     

3. Run the following command to deploy OUD:

   $ helm install --namespace <namespace> \
   --values oud-ds-rs-values-override.yaml \
   <release_name> oud-ds-rs
   

   For example:

   $ helm install --namespace oudns \
   --values oud-ds-rs-values-override.yaml \
   oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs
   

4. Check the OUD deployment as per Verify the OUD deployment and Verify the OUD replication.

Using --set argument

1. Navigate to the $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm directory:

   $ cd $WORKDIR/kubernetes/helm
   

2. Run the following command to create OUD instances:

   $ helm install --namespace <namespace> \
   --set oudConfig.rootUserPassword=<password>,persistence.filesystem.hostPath.path=<persistent_volume>/oud_user_projects,image.repository=<image_location>,image.tag=<image_tag> \
   --set oudConfig.sampleData="200" \
   --set cronJob.kubectlImage.repository=bitnami/kubectl,cronJob.kubectlImage.tag=<version> \
   --set cronJob.imagePullSecrets[0].name="dockercred" \
   --set imagePullSecrets[0].name="orclcred" \
   <release_name> oud-ds-rs
   

   For example:

   $ helm install --namespace oudns \
   --set oudConfig.rootUserPassword=<password>,persistence.filesystem.hostPath.path=/scratch/shared/oud_user_projects,image.repository=container-registry.oracle.com/middleware/oud_cpu,image.tag=12.2.1.4-jdk8-ol7-<January`23> \
   --set oudConfig.sampleData="200" \
   --set cronJob.kubectlImage.repository=bitnami/kubectl,cronJob.kubectlImage.tag=1.21.6 \
   --set cronJob.imagePullSecrets[0].name="dockercred" \
   --set imagePullSecrets[0].name="orclcred" \
   oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs
   

   The following caveats exist:

   • Replace <password> with a the relevant password.
   • sampleData: "200" will load 200 sample users into the default baseDN dc=example,dc=com. If you do not want sample data, remove this entry. If sampleData is set to 1,000,000 users or greater, then you must add the following entries to the yaml file to prevent inconsistencies in dsreplication: --set deploymentConfig.startupTime=720,deploymentConfig.period=120,deploymentConfig.timeout=60.
   • The <version> in kubectlImage tag: should be set to the same version as your Kubernetes version (kubectl version). For example if your Kubernetes version is 1.21.6 set to 1.21.6.
   • If using using NFS for your persistent volume then use persistence.networkstorage.nfs.path=<persistent_volume>/oud_user_projects,persistence.networkstorage.nfs.server:<NFS IP address>.
   • If you are not using Oracle Container Registry or your own container registry for your OUD container image, then you can remove the following: --set imagePullSecrets[0].name="orclcred".

3. Check the OUD deployment as per Verify the OUD deployment and Verify the OUD replication.

Note: Initially pod/oud-ds-rs-0 will appear with a STATUS of 0/1 and it will take approximately 5 minutes before OUD is started (1/1). Once pod/oud-ds-rs-0 has a STATUS of 1/1, pod/oud-ds-rs-1 will appear with a STATUS of 0/1. Once pod/oud-ds-rs-1 is started (1/1), pod/oud-ds-rs-2 will appear. It will take around 15 minutes for all the pods to fully started.

While the oud-ds-rs pods have a STATUS of 0/1 the pod is running but OUD server associated with it is currently starting. While the pod is starting you can check the startup status in the pod logs, by running the following command:

$ kubectl logs <pod> -n oudns

For example:

$ kubectl logs oud-ds-rs-0 -n oudns

Note : If the OUD deployment fails additionally refer to Troubleshooting for instructions on how describe the failing pod(s). Once the problem is identified follow Undeploy an OUD deployment to clean down the deployment before deploying again.

Kubernetes Objects

Kubernetes objects created by the Helm chart are detailed in the table below:

• In the table above the ‘Example Name’ for each Object is based on the value ‘oud-ds-rs’ as deployment/release name for the Helm chart installation.

Verify the OUD replication

Once all the PODs created are visible as READY (i.e. 1/1), you can verify your replication across multiple Oracle Unified Directory instances.

1. To verify the replication group, connect to the container and issue an OUD administration command to show the details. The name of the container can be found by issuing the following:

   $ kubectl get pods -n <namespace> -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].name}'
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl get pods -n oudns -o jsonpath='{.items[*].spec.containers[*].name}'
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs
   

   Once you have the container name you can verify the replication status in the following ways:

   • Run dresplication inside the pod
   • Using kubectl commands

Run dresplication inside the pod

1. Run the following command to create a bash shell in the pod:

   $ kubectl --namespace <namespace> exec -it -c <containername> <podname> -- bash
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl --namespace oudns exec -it -c oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs-0 -- bash
   

   This will take you into the pod:

   [oracle@oud-ds-rs-0 oracle]$
   

2. From the prompt, use the dsreplication command to check the status of your replication group:

   $ cd /u01/oracle/user_projects/oud-ds-rs-0/OUD/bin
   
   $ ./dsreplication status --trustAll \
   --hostname oud-ds-rs-0 --port 1444 --adminUID admin \
   --dataToDisplay compat-view --dataToDisplay rs-connections
   

   The output will look similar to the following. Enter credentials where prompted:

   >>>> Specify Oracle Unified Directory LDAP connection parameters
       
   Password for user 'admin':
       
   Establishing connections and reading configuration ..... Done.

3. Type exit to exit the pod.

Using kubectl commands

1. The dsreplication status command can be invoked using the following kubectl command:

   $ kubectl --namespace <namespace> exec -it -c <containername> <podname> -- \
   /u01/oracle/user_projects/<OUD Instance/Pod Name>/OUD/bin/dsreplication status \
   --trustAll --hostname <OUD Instance/Pod Name> --port 1444 --adminUID admin \
   --dataToDisplay compat-view --dataToDisplay rs-connections
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl --namespace oudns exec -it -c oud-ds-rs oud-ds-rs-0 -- \
   /u01/oracle/user_projects/oud-ds-rs-0/OUD/bin/dsreplication status \
   --trustAll --hostname oud-ds-rs-0 --port 1444 --adminUID admin \
   --dataToDisplay compat-view --dataToDisplay rs-connections
   

   The output will be the same as per Run dresplication inside the pod.

Verify the cronjob

1. Run the following command to make sure the cronjob is created:

   $ kubectl get cronjob -n <namespace>
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl get cronjob -n oudns
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   NAME               SCHEDULE       SUSPEND   ACTIVE   LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
   oud-pod-cron-job   */30 * * * *   False     0        5m18s           19m
   

2. Run the following command to make sure the job(s) is created:

   $ kubectl get job -n <namespace> -o wide
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl get job -n oudns -o wide
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   NAME                        COMPLETIONS   DURATION   AGE     CONTAINERS        IMAGES                   SELECTOR
   oud-pod-cron-job-27586680   1/1           1s         5m36s   cron-kubectl      bitnami/kubectl:1.21.6   controller-uid=700ab9f7-6094-488a-854d-f1b914de5f61
   

Disabling the cronjob

If you need to disable the job, for example if maintenance needs to be performed on the node, you can disable the job as follows:

1. Run the following command to edit the cronjob:

   $ kubectl edit cronjob pod-cron-job -n <namespace>
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl edit cronjob oud-pod-cron-job -n oudns
   

   Note: This opens an edit session for the cronjob where parameters can be changed using standard vi commands.

2. In the edit session search for suspend and change the vaule from false to true:

   ...
   schedule: '*/30 * * * *'
   successfulJobsHistoryLimit: 3
   suspend: true
   ...
   

3. Save the file and exit (wq!).

4. Run the following to make sure the cronjob is suspended:

   $ kubectl get cronjob -n <namespace>
   

   For example:

   $ kubectl get cronjob -n oudns
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   NAME               SCHEDULE       SUSPEND   ACTIVE   LAST SCHEDULE   AGE
   oud-pod-cron-job   */30 * * * *   True      0        7m47s           21m
   

5. To enable the cronjob again, repeat the above steps and set suspend to false.

Ingress Configuration

With an OUD instance now deployed you are now ready to configure an ingress controller to direct traffic to OUD as per Configure an ingress for an OUD.

Undeploy an OUD deployment

Delete the OUD deployment

1. Find the deployment release name:

   $ helm --namespace <namespace> list
   

   For example:

   $ helm --namespace oudns list
   

   The output will look similar to the following:

   NAME            NAMESPACE       REVISION        UPDATED   STATUS          CHART           APP VERSION
   oud-ds-rs       oudns           1               <DATE>    deployed        oud-ds-rs-0.2   12.2.1.4.0
   

2. Delete the deployment using the following command:

   $ helm uninstall --namespace <namespace> <release>
   

   For example:

   $ helm uninstall --namespace oudns oud-ds-rs
   release "oud-ds-rs" uninstalled
   

3. Run the following command to view the status:

   $ kubectl --namespace oudns get pod,service,secret,pv,pvc,ingress -o wide
   

   Initially the pods and persistent volume (PV) and persistent volume claim (PVC) will move to a Terminating status:

   NAME              READY   STATUS        RESTARTS   AGE   IP             NODE            NOMINATED NODE   READINESS GATES

   Run the command again until the pods, PV and PVC disappear.

Delete the persistent volume contents

1. Delete the contents of the oud_user_projects directory in the persistent volume:

   $ cd <persistent_volume>/oud_user_projects
   $ rm -rf *
   

   For example:

   $ cd /scratch/shared/oud_user_projects
   $ rm -rf *
