Objective
If you retrieve the Contrast Java agent from our RPM repo, you may want to verify that the download is signed by Contrast. The following steps show how to obtain the Contrast GPG key and use it to verify that the downloaded agent is correctly signed.
Process
1. Download the Contrast GPG key with the following command:
wget https://pgp.key-server.io/download/0x34D84B137E8F1053
2. Next, we'll need to import the key to RPM:
sudo rpm --import gpgkey.asc
3. Use the following commands to configure your system to retrieve packages from the Contrast RPM repository:
OSREL=$(rpmquery -E "%{rhel}")
sudo -E tee /etc/yum.repos.d/contrast.repo << EOF
[contrast]
name=contrast repo
baseurl=https://pkg.contrastsecurity.com/rpm-public/centos-$OSREL/
gpgcheck=1
enabled=1
EOF
Setting gpgcheck=1 ensures that any downloads from the Contrast RPM repository will be verified with the GPG key.
4. Install the Contrasts Java agent from RPM:
sudo yum install contrast-java-agent
Once run, you'll see the following output:
sudo yum install contrast-java-agent
