User story¶

As a customer, when I select in the Yast installer to use encrypted LVM-based partitions, I expect /boot to also be encrypted, so initrd and kernel are better protected against malicious actions.

• Take in mind that /boot can be a directory under the root partition or be in a separated partition, but in any case, it is expected to be encrypted.
• Be aware that on SLE 12-SP3 /boot was in a separated partition by default. On SLE 15, /boot is no more in a separated partition by default.

Acceptance criteria¶

AC1: The test suite lvm-full-encrypt is adapted to have an encrypted /boot for aarch64, ppc64 and x86_64
AC2: The test suite lvm-full-encrypt still gives for SLE 12-SP3 the same results as in https://openqa.suse.de/tests/overview?distri=sle&version=12-SP3&build=0473&groupid=55.
AC3: On ppc there is a workaround for bsc#1070139
AC4: Create additional test suite where we add unencrypted /boot partition outside of lvm to get same coverage for SLE 12 on SLE 15

Tasks¶

1. Wait for bsc#1070139 to be resolved.

1. Adapt test suite lvm-full-encrypt to work for SLE 12-SP3 and SLE 15.
2. Add new test suite in OSD with setting: UNENCRYPTED_BOOT

Further information¶

As a result of a conversation between okurz, riafarov and slindomansilla, the coverage will be implemented in the following way:

• The test suite cryptlvm performs for SLE 12-SP3 and SLE 15 the yast-proposed lvm installation.
  • For SLE 12-SP3, the result will be an encrypted lvm + a non-encrypted /boot partition, which affects test module boot_encrypt to enter the password.
  • For SLE 15, the result will be an full encrypted lvm, /boot included, which affects the module boot_encrypt and grub_test to enter the password. So the password is asked twice, before grub is shown, and after grub is shown.
  • Since the test suite cryptlvm is working properly, we don't need a ticket for it.
  • SLE 12-SP3 osd#1408146#step/partitioning_lvm/4
  • SLE 15 osd#1424969#step/partitioning_lvm/7
• The test suite lvm_full_encrypt performs a full encrypted lvm installation using the expert partitioner for both SLE 12-SP3 and SLE 15.
  • To also cover the case of a non-encrypted /boot partition, another test suite may be created. The settings of this test suite differs from lvm_full_encrypt on one setting: UNENCRYPTED_BOOT
  • Those 4 cases will be covered in this ticket.
