# Gateway Registration

## Motivation

Previously, to register a gateway, the operator would have to gather the gateway information (both the hardware ID and the challenge key) through `show_gateway_info.py` script, then provision the gateway with the correct values of `control_proxy.yml` and `rootCA.pem`.
Then, the operator would have to register each gateway through the NMS UI and validate the gateway registration by running `checkin_cli.py`.

In efforts to simplify gateway registration, the new registration process only requires two steps: registering the gateway at Orc8r and then running `register.py` at the gateway.

## Overview

The overview of gateway registration is as follows:

The graphics uploaded above seems incomplete. I.e. the lines touching the bottom of the graphics indicate to me, that there is more to come in the process. Could we add a "termination" there indicating that the registration process is finished?

Yeah I was using https://sequencediagram.org/ to create the diagram, it seems to format all its sequence diagrams like so

What do you think about using the bottomparticipants keyword in that tool to somehow work around that issue?

If you created the graphics from some text (similar to mermaid), than you would probably also want to add a hidden section with the respective code to the docs.
In Github this would probably be a <!-- HMTL comment block -->, maybe Docusaurus has something similar?

If hidden parts are not possible, you might want to use a details block.

Hi @christinewang5 ,
according to this slack message DocuSaurus does support mermaid diagrams. (Also see the examples for Github and Docusaurus).

Could you at least post the code, used to generate the graphics here in the thread, for a later cleanup, please.

Note: The operator should set per-tenant default `control_proxy.yml` through the API endpoint `\tenants\{tenant_id}\control_proxy` as a prerequisite.
The control proxy must have `\n` characters as line breaks. Here is a sample request body:

```json
{
"control_proxy": "nghttpx_config_location: /var/tmp/nghttpx.conf\n\nrootca_cert: /var/opt/magma/certs/rootCA.pem\ngateway_cert: /var/opt/magma/certs/gateway.crt\ngateway_key: /var/opt/magma/certs/gateway.key\nlocal_port: 8443\ncloud_address: controller.magma.test\ncloud_port: 7443\n\nbootstrap_address: bootstrapper-controller.magma.test\nbootstrap_port: 7444\nproxy_cloud_connections: True\nallow_http_proxy: True"
}
```

1. The operator registers a gateway partially (i.e., without its device field) through Orc8r through an API call. It will receive a registration token, the `rootCA.pem`, and its Orc8r's domain name in the response body under the field registration info. For example,

```json
{
"registration_info": {
"domain_name": "magma.test",
"registration_token": "reg_h9h2fhfUVuS9jZ8uVbhV3vC5AWX39I",
"root_ca": "-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----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\nWLRlFB4QVm8w\n-----END CERTIFICATE-----\n"
}
}
```

The registration token expires every 30 minutes and automatically refreshes every time the operator fetches this unregistered gateway.
2. The operator runs the `register.py` script at the gateway with the registration token and its Orc8r's domain name.

```shell
MAGMA-VM [/home/vagrant]$ sudo /home/vagrant/build/python/bin/python3 ~/magma/orc8r/gateway/python/scripts/register.py [-h] [--ca-file CA_FILE] [--cloud-port CLOUD_PORT] [--no-control-proxy] DOMAIN_NAME REGISTRATION_TOKEN
```

The operator can optionally set the root CA file with the `--ca-file CA_FILE` flag or disable writing to the control proxy file with the `--no-control-proxy` flag.
`sudo` permission is necessary because the script needs write access to the file `/var/opt/magma/configs/control_proxy.yml` for configuring the gateway.
For example, in a testing environment with the `rootCA.pem` and `control_proxy.yml` configured, the operator could run

```shell
MAGMA-VM [/home/vagrant]$ sudo /home/vagrant/build/python/bin/python3 ~/magma/orc8r/gateway/python/scripts/register.py magma.test reg_t5S4zjhD0tXRTmkYKQoN91FmWnQSK2 --cloud-port 7444 --no-control-proxy

```

Upon success, the script will print the gateway information that was registered and run `checkin_cli.py` automatically. Below is an example of the output of a successful register attempt.
