Overview

In this guide, you'll learn how to rotate passwords for Azure MariaDB Users and Admin accounts on your Azure environment using KeeperPAM. Azure MariaDB is an Azure managed resource where the MariaDB Admin Credentials are defined in the record type and the configurations of the MariaDB Users are defined in the record type.

For Azure Managed MariaDB database, the Azure SDK will be used to rotate the password of Database Admin Accounts. To rotate the passwords of Regular Database Users, Keeper connects to the DB instance with the provided admin credentials and executes the necessary SQL statements to change the password.

Prerequisites

This guide assumes the following tasks have already taken place:

  • Your Keeper Gateway is able to communicate with the Azure Managed MariaDB database

1. Set up a PAM Database Record

The PAM Database record links to the admin credentials and necessary configurations to connect to the MariaDB server on Azure. Keeper Rotation will use these provided configurations to rotate passwords of regular database user accounts in the Azure MariaDB Server instance. These provided admin credentials need to also have sufficient database permissions to successfully change the credentials of the database user accounts.

The following table lists all the required fields on the PAM Database Record:

Field
Description

Title

Keeper record title Ex: Azure MariaDB Admin

Hostname or IP Address

The Database Server name i.e testdb-mariadb.mariadb.database.azure.com

Port

Use SSL

Check to perform SSL verification before connecting, if your database has SSL configured

Administrative Credentials

PAM User admin account username that will perform rotation. If the admin in the DB user table is in a Host other than %, add the Host value to the user name as USERNAME@SERVERNAME

Database ID

Name of the Azure Database Server i.e. testdb-mariadb

Database Type

mariadb or mariadb-flexible

Provider Group

Azure Resource group name

Provider Region

Azure Resource region i.e. East US

Note: Adding Provider Group, Provider Region, and Database ID will enable managing the PAM Database Record through the Azure SDK.

This PAM Database Record with the admin credential needs to be in a shared folder that is shared to the KSM application created in the pre-requisites. Only the KSM application needs access to this privileged account, it does not need to be shared with any users.

2. Set up PAM Configuration

Note: You can skip this step if you already have a PAM Configuration set up for this environment.

If you are creating a new PAM Configuration, login to the Keeper Vault and select "Secrets Manager", then select the "PAM Configurations" tab, and click on "New Configuration". The following table lists all the required fields on the PAM Configuration Record:

Field
Description

Title

Configuration name, example: Azure DB Configuration

Environment

Select: Azure Network

Gateway

Select the Gateway that is configured on the Keeper Secrets Manager application and has network access to your Azure MariaDB database from the pre-requisites

Application Folder

Select the Shared folder where the PAM Configuration will be stored. We recommend placing this in a shared folder with the PAM User records.

Azure ID

A unique ID for this instance of Azure. This is for your reference and can be anything, but its recommended to be kept short Ex: Azure-Prod

Client ID

The unique Application (client) ID assigned to your app by Azure AD when the application was registered

Client Secret

The client credentials secret for the Azure application

Subscription ID

The UUID that identifies your subscription (i.e. Pay-As-You-GO) to use Azure services.

Tenant ID

The UUID of the Azure Active Directory

3. Set up one or more PAM User records

Keeper Rotation will use the linked credentials in the PAM Database record to rotate the PAM User records on your Azure environment. The PAM User credential needs to be in a shared folder that is shared to the KSM application created in the prerequisites.

The following table lists all the required fields on the PAM User record:

Field
Description

Title

Keeper record title i.e. Azure MariaDB User1

Login

Case sensitive username of the account being rotated. If the user in the DB user table is in a Host other than %, add the Host value to the user name as USERNAME@SERVERNAME

Password

Account password is optional, rotation will set one if blank

4. Configure Rotation on the PAM User records

Select the PAM User record(s) from Step 3, edit the record and open the "Password Rotation Settings".

  • Select the desired schedule and password complexity.

  • The "Rotation Settings" should use the PAM Configuration setup previously.

  • The "Resource Credential" field should select the PAM Database credential setup from Step 1.

  • Upon saving, the rotation button will be enabled and available to rotate on demand, or via the selected schedule.

Any user with edit rights to a PAM User record has the ability to setup rotation for that record.
