RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Miguel Perez Colino 2014-04-30 13:41:15 UTC 
1. Proposed title of this feature request
[RFE] System installed on an encrypted LUKS device booting and unlocking itself using TPM module

3. What is the nature and description of the request?
By security policies workstations are required to have the filesystems encrypted so that information cannot be extracted from them.
Booting requires a passphrase to unlock the LUKS device.
In systems with TPM modules, the unlocking can be automatically done using this capability.


4. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)
To comply with the enterprise security policies.

5. How would the customer like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)
LUKS and GRUB being TPM enabled.

6. For each functional requirement listed in question 5, specify how Red Hat and the customer can test to confirm the requirement is successfully implemented.
Deploy a system on LUKS encrypted device. Enable TPM to unlock LUKS device. Boot from GRUB using TPM LUKS unlocking.

7. Is there already an existing RFE upstream or in Red Hat bugzilla?
No

8. Does the customer have any specific timeline dependencies?
ASAP, next release.

9. Is the sales team involved in this request and do they have any additional input?
No

10. List any affected packages or components.
trousers, tpm-tools, trusted-grub, tpm-luks

11. Would the customer be able to assist in testing this functionality if implemented?
Yes.

I don't think we will have everything we need to get this done in 7.4. However, the proposed delivery of the Network Bound Disk Encryption technology may very well help with setting up an infrastructure for this.
Then again, NBDE isn't required to solve this problem.

I'm not pm_ack'ing this at this point, though would be prepared to do so if we thought it was in-scope for 7.4.
Comment 9 Russell Doty 2016-12-01 14:33:27 UTC 
Is the customer requesting this for TPM 1.2 or TPM 2.0?

Note that TPM 2.0 is much more capable than TPM 1.2 and we are planning to invest any development efforts in TPM 2.0. Having said that, we are aware that most of the TPM installed base is TPM 1.2.

Would a TPM 2.0 only implementation meet the customer requirements?
Comment 10 Mark Thacker 2016-12-02 15:41:27 UTC 
I'm willing to argue that a TPM 2.0 deliverable would be fine if there is reasonable expectations that TPM 2.0 will be included in the majority of shipping systems by 2017.
Comment 38 Chris Williams 2020-11-11 21:55:36 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 shipped it's final minor release on September 29th, 2020. 7.9 was the last minor releases scheduled for RHEL 7.
From intial triage it does not appear the remaining Bugzillas meet the inclusion criteria for Maintenance Phase 2 and will now be closed. 

From the RHEL life cycle page:
https://access.redhat.com/support/policy/updates/errata#Maintenance_Support_2_Phase
"During Maintenance Support 2 Phase for Red Hat Enterprise Linux version 7,Red Hat defined Critical and Important impact Security Advisories (RHSAs) and selected (at Red Hat discretion) Urgent Priority Bug Fix Advisories (RHBAs) may be released as they become available."

If this BZ was closed in error and meets the above criteria please re-open it flag for 7.9.z, provide suitable business and technical justifications, and follow the process for Accelerated Fixes:
https://source.redhat.com/groups/public/pnt-cxno/pnt_customer_experience_and_operations_wiki/support_delivery_accelerated_fix_release_handbook  

Feature Requests can re-opened and moved to RHEL 8 if the desired functionality is not already present in the product. 

Please reach out to the applicable Product Experience Engineer[0] if you have any questions or concerns.
