Content Store

Use the Content Store area in the Cloud Service Management Console to consume and deploy the content from the CSA platform directly, instead of downloading the Content SDK available from CSA.

The content store has access to the latest CSA content offerings published on HPE Live Network and the extended community, the same way you access them externally.

Roles

The Content Store area is available for the Content Manager and Administrator.

Capsule Display

The capsules are displayed by the latest updated content offering. Capsules that were updated in the last 30 days have a New tag.

The capsules shown in the Content Store depend on which of the following Content Types are selected:

Content Type	Description
HPE	Created by HPE and supported via HPE Software Support, with a ticket filed against the associated product.
Partner	Created and supported by Partners.
Community	Created by Community Contributor and supported by HPE Software customers.

Note The HPE Content Type is selected by default. The capsules are filtered to be compatible to your version of CSA.

Each Capsule tile shows the following detail:

Name of the Capsule
Description about the capsule
Provider Name (HPE)
Signature and Certification details of the installed Capsule
Rating by the user
Number of Downloads

Prerequisites

The Content Store area is only available with the validation of the HPE Passport credentials and proxy connection details (if any). See Configure Content Store settings
Certificate validation for a Capsule (Optional): If you wish to decide the level of certification validation for your chosen Capsule, you may want to edit the configuration property contentInstallation.contentSignatureVerificationLevel in the csa.properties file located at JBOSS_HOME\standalone\deployments\csa.war\WEB-INF\classes\csa.properties to enable or disable. Following are the 3 types of certification validation:
1. ALLOW_NOT_SIGNED - This will allow any capsule including unsecured content without certification to continue the installation process. It is the lowest security level. For example: contentInstallation.contentSignatureVerificationLevel=ALLOW_NOT_SIGNED
2. ALLOW_SIGNED - This will allow the Capsule having digital certificate to install irrespective of it stored in Truststore of content-store (Where Capsule certificates of trustworthy sources are added and marked as trusted).
  For example: contentInstallation.contentSignatureVerificationLevel=ALLOW_SIGNED
3. ALLOW_TRUSTED - This will allow the Capsule to continue installation only if it has a digital certificate and present in Truststore of content-store. This is the highest level of security as it allows only trusted content to install.
  For example: contentInstallation.contentSignatureVerificationLevel=ALLOW_TRUSTED

NoteA separate Truststore is created at the location CSA_JRE_HOME/lib/security/capsuletrust to validate the Capsule signatures. By default, the HPE-released capsule signature certificates are imported at this location. However, if you want to validate your capsules that you have signed using different certificate/s as "TRUSTED", you can use the Java™ keytool command and import the certificates to the Truststore location.

Tasks

You can perform the following tasks in this area:

Search for capsules: Enter the Keyword (name of the capsule/version) in the Keywords text box in the left panel. Matching capsules are displayed. If no capsules match the keyword, a No results found message is displayed.

Install an existing capsule: Click Install in the capsule you want to download, select the version from Available versions and click Install. After the download and install process completes the installed version appears on the tile. You can then mouse-over on the Certificate icon of the installed Capsule tile to view the Signature and Certification details as shown in the below table:

Capsule Status	Certificate Icon Color	Security Information Example
Signed	Green - Indicates that the certificate signature is successful.	Certificate status : Trusted Signedby : AddTrust External CA Root
Not Signed	Gray- Indicates that the certificate signature failed.	No digital signature

Important During upgrade of CSA from 4.70 to 4.80 version, the signature information of the capsules installed in 4.70 will be represented in grayed certificate icon to indicate <No digital signature> status.

Note The Available versions drop-down displays the capsule versions published in HPE Live Network. Once you have installed a particular version of the capsule, you will be able to re-install the same version, update to a latest version, but cannot downgrade to a lower version.
