Security Chain Onboarding Document

This outlines the step-by-step process for securely onboarding delegates in the security chain.

A formal legal contract is signed between the collaborating organizations to establish terms and responsibilities.

2. Delegate Selection and Identity Verification

  • Each organization selects a delegate.
  • The delegate's identity is verified through the organization's internal processes to ensure authenticity.

3. Federated Identity Management Integration

  • The identity management system used leverages federated access to the organization's Identity Provider (IdP).
  • This enables secure Single Sign-On (SSO) for seamless authentication to the environment.

4. Access Provisioning

  • The swarm orchestrator provides the delegate with:
    • Access to the organizations Git repository by adding the identity to the respective git project. This also gives permissions for the private container registry.

5. Repository Retrieval and Bootstrap Initiation

  • The delegate retrieves the Git repository into a Virtual Machine (VM) provisioned for this purpose.
  • The bootstrap process is initiated from the VM.

6. Automated Environment Setup

  • The bootstrap process performs:
    • Joins the control network.
    • Automatically starts swarm containers.
    • Boots up all Swarm containers.
  • This provides a ready-to-use environment for the Swarm member for use for the Swarm training.

The onboarding sequence ensures secure, efficient, and federated access while maintaining operational integrity across organizational boundaries.
