Configuring Secure64 x86 Support

The initial setup of the Secure64 x86 Authoritative server is as follows:

Configuring Secure64 x86 Authority Server

1. Using the terminal, SSH to the desired S64 x86 server. All the configurations and zones will be pushed in /srv/knot/6c/

2. Create new user "provision"
   
   

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo useradd provision sudo passwd provision

   
   

3. Create a directory called "6c" that will be used for the ProVision exports and set the permissions, so that we can push the configurations in /srv/knot/

   Code Block
   language bash
   sudo mkdir --mode=u+rwx,g+wrs,o-rwx /srv/knot/6c sudo chown provision.knot /srv/knot/6c

   
   

4. In order to properly reload the server without asking for a password from ProVision, we must edit the sudoers file to let the user "provision" execute "sudo knotc reload" after push. So, add the following line at the end of /etc/sudoers:

   Code Block
   language bash
   provision ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: /sbin/knotc reload

   
   

5. Add knot to be inside the "provision" group by editing the /etc/group as follows:

   Code Block
   language bash
   provision:x:120:knot

   
   

6. Add provision to be a part of the knot group (in case knot replaces a zone), so that Provision is able to replace it again on push. So, we must once again edit /etc/group, as follows:

   Code Block
   language bash
   knot:x:119:provision

   
   

7. Configure ProVision in the S64 server and add the include directive in /etc/knot/knot.conf:

   Code Block
   language bash
   include: /srv/knot/6c/6c_knot.conf

   
   

8. Open the ProVision UI and navigate to the DNS section to add the S64x86 server. While adding server settings, you must verify that Post Command is set to “sudo knotc reload” and the configuration path to “/srv/knot/6c/6c_knot.conf”
   
   
   
9. An example ProVision server configuration for the S64 x86 server is shown below:
