Gather Redis credentials

Configuring the connector requires you to pass in credentials generated in Redis. Gather these credentials before you move on. To set up the integration with C1, you’ll need:

Your Redis Enterprise Service cluster host and port
The username and password for a Redis user (or service account) with admin permissions

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

Configure the Redis connector

To complete this task, you’ll need:

The Connector Administrator or Super Administrator role in C1
Access to the set of Redis 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 Redis Enterprise 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.

In the Cluster Host field, enter your Redis Enterprise Service cluster host.

In the API Port field, enter the enterprise API port (defaults to 9443).

In the Username and Password fields, enter the login credentials for a Redis user with admin permissions.

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 Redis connector is now pulling access data into C1.

Follow these instructions to use the Redis 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.

Step 1: Set up a new Redis 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 Redis connector deployment:

Secrets configuration

# baton-redis-secrets.yaml
apiVersion: v1
kind: Secret
metadata:
  name: baton-redis-secrets
type: Opaque
stringData:
  # C1 credentials
  BATON_CLIENT_ID: <C1 client ID>
  BATON_CLIENT_SECRET: <C1 client secret>
  
  # Redis credentials
  BATON_CLUSTER_HOST: <The cluster host for your Redis Enterprise Service>
  BATON_API_PORT: <The Redis Enterprise admin port (defaults to 9443)>
  BATON_USERNAME: <Redis account username>
  BATON_PASSWORD: <Redis account password>

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

Deployment configuration

# baton-redis.yaml
apiVersion: apps/v1
kind: Deployment
metadata:
  name: baton-redis
  labels:
    app: baton-redis
spec:
  selector:
    matchLabels:
      app: baton-redis
  template:
    metadata:
      labels:
        app: baton-redis
        baton: "true"
        baton-app: redis
    spec:
      containers:
      - name: baton-redis
        image: public.ecr.aws/conductorone/baton-redis:latest
        imagePullPolicy: IfNotPresent
        env:
        - name: BATON_HOST_ID
          value: baton-redis
        envFrom:
        - secretRef:
            name: baton-redis-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 Redis connector to. Redis data should be found on the Entitlements and Accounts tabs.

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