DATABASE_JDBC_URL

The JDBC drivers for MariaDB/MySQL, Microsoft SQL Server, and PostgreSQL are bundled with the container to work out of the box by specifying the corresponding JDBC URL. We recommend the use of MariaDB with Galera clustering for production setups.

Automatically configured when test environment is created using ejbca.useEphemeralH2Database or ejbca.useH2Persistence.

DATABASE_USER

The username part of the credentials to access the external database. Not required for use of the H2 database.

DATABASE_PASSWORD

The password part of the credentials to access the external database. It should be provided as a secret in ejbca.envRaw section. Please see values.yaml for more details.

DATABASE_USER_PRIVILEGED

The privileged username part of the credentials to access the external database for table creation or altering. Only needed for initial container startup to create tables or upgrading EJBCA when database schema has changes. Not required for use of the H2 database.

DATABASE_PASSWORD_PRIVILEGED

The privileged password part of the credentials to access the external database for table creation or altering. Only needed for initial container startup to create tables or upgrading EJBCA when database schema has changes. Not required for use of the H2 database.

It should be provided as a secret in ejbca.envRaw section. Please see values.yaml for more details.

PASSWORD_ENCRYPTION_KEY

The following key (strictly speaking, PBE input password) allows for encrypting passwords used in EJBCA (e.g. End Entity, Crypto Token, CMP Alias, SCEP Alias, etc, passwords stored in database). This property should be set before initial EJBCA installation and it shouldn't be changed later, because there could exist passwords encrypted with the key about to be changed and EJBCA would be unable to decrypt them (note that the current implementation is capable to try decryption with the default key, i.e. qhrnf.f8743;12%#75, but it won't be able to decrypt passwords encrypted with a custom key being replaced for another custom key). For setting this property you could use any password you consider safe, but it is strongly recommended that you use a randomly generated password, e.g. by using openssl rand -base64 24.When upgrading a 100% up-time cluster all nodes must produce password encryption that is decryptable by old nodes. When all nodes run EJBCA 6.8.0 or higher you can change the password, and count, to increase security when passwords are saved in clear text (mostly used for batch generation and auto-activation).

EJBCA_CLI_DEFAULTPASSWORD

Password used for the EJBCA CLI. Using a custom password requires the password to then be provided when using the CLI.

The username used when authentication is required for SMTP server.

SMTP_PASSWORD

ejbca

The password used to authenticate to the SMTP server. It should be provided as Kubernetes secrets.

OBSERVABLE_BIND

127.0.0.1

The IP address where port 8090 will listen for requests to /health, /health/ready, /health/live and /metrics . Set this to 0.0.0.0 to bind to all container interfaces.

METRICS_ENABLED

false

Set this to "true" to collect metrics and expose them at the /metrics endpoint for scraping.

LOG_LEVEL_APP

INFO

Application log level.

LOG_AUDIT_TO_DB

false

Set this value to true (LOG_AUDIT_TO_DB=true) if the internal EJBCA audit log is needed. Common use of these systems will have a proper logging system in place (which is possibly better than what EJBCA provides) therefore this value is set to false by default (or if unspecified).

LOG_LEVEL_APP_WS_TRANSACTIONS

DEBUG (enabled)

Application log level for WS transaction logging. These log entries are always logged at DEBUG log level. Set this log level to DEBUG or lower to enable and INFO or higher to disable.

LOG_LEVEL_SERVER

INFO

Application server log level for main system.

LOG_LEVEL_SERVER_SUBSYSTEMS

WARN

Application server log level for sub-systems.

Integer: Maximum total size of log files (in MB) before being discarded during log rotation. Minimum requirement: 2 (MB)

LOG_STORAGE_LOCATION

Disabled (empty)

String: Path in the Container (directory) where the log will be saved, so it can be mounted to a host directory. The mounted location must be a writable directory. Non-writable directory will cause the Container to fail the startup.

TZ

UTC

TimeZone to use in the container. Since the system TimeZone is used both for logging and currently also for presentation in the UI this improves usability.

APPSERVER_DEPLOYMENT_TIMEOUT

300

This value controls the deployment timeout in seconds for the application server when starting the application. If EJBCA fails to perform early start-up tasks like eager loading of CAs due to the application server timing out, you can adjust this setting. Normally this could also indicate that the resources assigned to the database are insufficient compared to the scale of the PKI.

OCSP_CHECK_SIGN_CERT_VALIDITY

true

When no OCSP signing certificate is not configured and the CA keys are used for signing OCSP requests set this variable to false. If OCSP signing certificates are used then leave this value as the default true.

OCSP_NON_EXISTING_IS_GOOD

false

Respond with 'good' when receiving OCSP requests for non-existing certificates
