Description Sam Fowler 2018-10-09 06:16:16 UTC 
The Ceph documentation states that clients should use "allow r" mon caps[1][2][3], which will grant full read access to all config-keys stored in the monitor -- including the LUKS encryption keys for OSD.

This is in contrast to the original dm-crypt key management feature[4], which indicates that these keys should be restricted to only the lockbox user.
