# HANA Database Plugin
|
|
|
|
Name: `hana-database-plugin`
|
|
|
|
The HANA Database Plugin is one of the supported plugins for the Database
|
|
backend. This plugin generates database credentials dynamically based on
|
|
configured roles for the HANA database.
|
|
|
|
See the [Database Backend](/docs/secrets/databases/index.html) docs for more
|
|
information about setting up the Database Backend.
|
|
|
|
## Quick Start
|
|
|
|
After the Database Backend is mounted you can configure a HANA connection
|
|
by specifying this plugin as the `"plugin_name"` argument. Here is an example
|
|
configuration:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vault write database/config/hana \
|
|
plugin_name=hana-database-plugin \
|
|
connection_url="hdb://username:password@localhost:1433" \
|
|
allowed_roles="readonly"
|
|
|
|
The following warnings were returned from the Vault server:
|
|
* Read access to this endpoint should be controlled via ACLs as it will
|
|
return the connection details as is, including passwords, if any.
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once the HANA connection is configured we can add a role:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ vault write database/roles/readonly \
|
|
db_name=hana \
|
|
creation_statements="CREATE USER {{name}} PASSWORD {{password}} VALID UNTIL '{{expiration}}';\
|
|
CALL GRANT_ACTIVATED_ROLE ( 'sap.hana.admin.roles::Monitoring', '{{name}}' );" \
|
|
default_ttl="12h" \
|
|
max_ttl="24h"
|
|
|
|
Success! Data written to: database/roles/readonly
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This role can now be used to retrieve a new set of credentials by querying the
|
|
"database/creds/readonly" endpoint.
|
|
|
|
