Creating an integration upon Harbor request

ID 273008

To create registry integration by Harbor request, you must have a Harbor account with administrator rights, as well as rights to view and configure scanning in CI/CD in Kaspersky Container Security. If these rights are not available, Harbor will not be able to connect the solution as a scanner.

To create a Harbor integration upon Harbor request:

  1. From the main menu in the left pane of the Harbor web interface, select AdministrationInterrogation Services.
  2. Click the New Scanner button.
  3. Enter the following information:
    • The unique name of the solution integration to be displayed in the Harbor interface.
    • If necessary, a description of the external scanner that is being added.
    • The address of the Kaspersky Container Security API endpoint displayed by Harbor.
  4. In the Authorization drop-down list, select APIKey as the authorization method when connecting the registry to the solution.
  5. In the APIKey field, enter the value of the API token.

    If the API token changes, you must specify its new value before starting the Harbor scan. If a new API token is not added to the external scanner settings in Harbor, the scan fails.

  6. Select the Skip certificate verification check box to skip certificate verification.
  7. If necessary, click Test Connection to verify that Harbor can connect to the solution.
  8. Click Add to create the integration.

In the list of available scanners under AdministrationInterrogation ServicesScanners, Harbor shows the name assigned to the solution in the Harbor.

The new scanner is used for scanning objects if it is specified as the default scanner in Harbor or assigned to the project. Both options require additional configuration in Harbor.

After scanning is started, an integration with the solution upon Harbor request is created in the external registry. Kaspersky Container Security displays the created Harbor External Integration registry in the list of image registries in the AdministrationIntegrationsImage registries section. The repository containing images from the external registry is marked with the Harbor icon (Harbor registry icon.). Harbor External Integration is updated after starting and running another scan in the external registry.

You cannot add an image to an automatically created registry of images from Harbor by using the Add images button in the management console.

Harbor External Integration scans can be manually initiated or automatically started from the external registry. You cannot start scanning or rescanning images from the Harbor automatically created image registry in Kaspersky Container Security.

The Harbor External Integration registry (as well as the registry created as part of the standard integration with Harbor) is scanned in line with the applicable scanner policy.

At the end of the scan, the solution generates a report on vulnerabilities found during scanning of selected objects and sends it to Harbor. If sending a report takes more than five seconds (for example, because of the quality of the network connection), an error in receiving scan results is displayed in the external registry interface.
