Gather Linode credentials

Each setup method requires you to pass in credentials generated in Linode. Gather these credentials before you move on.

Generate an authentication token

In Cloud Manager, navigate to your profile menu and select API Tokens.

Click Create a Personal Access Token.

Give the new token a name, such as “C1”, and set an expiration.

Select the Read Only permission for Accounts.

Click Create Token. Carefully copy and save the new token.

Done. Next, move on to the connector configuration instructions.

Configure the Linode connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
Access to the set of Linode credentials generated by following the instructions above

Cloud-hosted
Self-hosted

Follow these instructions to use a built-in, no-code connector hosted by C1.

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Linode and click Add.

Choose where to add the connector: Create a new app, or Add to an existing app (then select the app).If you’re creating a new app, choose whether to link it to an application discovered from your identity provider: select Yes and pick the IdP application, or No to continue with just the connector.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

Find the Settings area of the page and click Edit.

Enter your token into the Linode authentication token field.

Enter the Linode API URL you use in the Linode API URL field. Default is https://api.linode.com/v4/.

Click Save.

The connector’s label changes to Syncing, followed by Connected. You can view the logs to ensure that information is syncing.

Done. Your Linode connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Follow these instructions to use the Linode connector, hosted and run in your own environment.When running in service mode on Kubernetes, a self-hosted connector maintains an ongoing connection with C1, automatically syncing and uploading data at regular intervals. This data is immediately available in the C1 UI for access reviews and access requests.

Contact C1’s support team to download the latest version of the connector.

Step 1: Configure the Linode connector

In C1, navigate to Apps > Connectors and click Add connector.

Search for Baton and click Add.

Set the connector’s Name and, optionally, a Description.

Click the pencil icon next to Owners to choose who can configure and manage this connector.

Click Add. The connector is created and its configuration page opens.

In the Settings area of the page, click Edit.

Click Rotate to generate a new Client ID and Secret.Carefully copy and save these credentials. We’ll use them in Step 2.

Step 2: Create Kubernetes configuration files

Create two Kubernetes manifest files for your Linode connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-linode-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-linode-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
  
  # Linode credentials
  BATON_TOKEN: <Linode API token>
  BATON_API_URL: <Linode API URL - Default is "https://api.linode.com/v4/">

See the connector’s README or run --help to see all available configuration flags and environment variables.

Deployment configuration

# baton-linode.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-linode
  labels:
    app: baton-linode
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-linode
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-linode
        baton: true
        baton-app: linode
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-linode
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-linode:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-linode
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-linode-secrets

Step 3: Deploy the connector

Create a namespace in which to run C1 connectors (if desired), then apply the secret config and deployment config files.

Check that the connector data uploaded correctly. In C1, click Apps. On the Managed apps tab, locate and click the name of the application you added the Linode connector to. Linode data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

Done. Your Linode connector is now pulling access data into C1.
