Developer namespace setup for Supply Chain Security Tools - Store

This topic tells how you to set up your developer namespace for Supply Chain Security Tools (SCST) - Store.

Overview

After you finish installing Tanzu Application Platform, you are ready to configure the developer namespace. When you configure a developer namespace, you must export the SCST - Store certificate authority (CA) certificate and authentication token to the namespace. This enables SCST - Scan to find the credentials to send scan results to SCST - Store.

There are two ways to deploy Tanzu Application Platform:

• The single-cluster method, which uses the Tanzu Application Platform values file
• THe multicluster method, which uses SecretExport

Single cluster - using the Tanzu Application Platform values file

To use tap-values.yaml to deploy Tanzu Application Platform, if using a single cluster:

1. When deploying the Tanzu Application Platform Full or Build profile, edit tap-values.yaml as follows:

   metadata_store:
     ns_for_export_app_cert: "DEV-NAMESPACE"
   

   Where DEV-NAMESPACE is the name of the developer namespace.

   The ns_for_export_app_cert supports only one namespace at a time. If you have multiple namespaces, you can replace this value with a "*". For example:

   metadata_store:
     ns_for_export_app_cert: "*"
   

Caution

The use "*" entails exporting the CA to all namespaces. Consider whether this increased visibility is a risk.

1. Update Tanzu Application Platform to apply the changes by running:

   tanzu package installed update tap -f tap-values.yaml -n tap-install
   

Multicluster - using SecretExport

In a multicluster deployment, follow the steps in [Multicluster setup for SCST - Scan 1.0](../scst-scan/multicluster-setup-scan-v1.hbs.md, which describe how to create secrets and export secrets to developer namespaces.
