    How to Enable Gluster encryption

     You will create a self signed certificate for each master and have it be trusted by its peers.

    For more options see Setting up Transport Layer Security in the Additional Information section of this page

    1. (On all masters) Create a private key and then create a certificate for this host signed with this key
      # openssl genrsa -out /etc/ssl/glusterfs.key 2048
      # openssl req -new -x509 -days 365 -key /etc/ssl/glusterfs.key \
                                         -out /etc/ssl/glusterfs.pem \
                                         -subj "/CN=${HOSTNAME}/"
    2. (On all masters) Combine the certificate from each node into one file all masters can trust
      # cat /etc/ssl/glusterfs.pem >> /vagrant/combined.ca.pem
    3. (On all masters) Copy the combined list of trusted certificates to the local system for Gluster use
      # cp /vagrant/combined.ca.pem /etc/ssl/glusterfs.ca
    4. (On all masters) Enable encryption for Gluster management traffic
      # touch /var/lib/glusterd/secure-access
    5. On master1: Enable encryption on the Gluster volume sharedvol
      # gluster volume set sharedvol client.ssl on
      # gluster volume set sharedvol server.ssl on
      
    6. (On all masters) Restart the Gluster service
      # systemctl restart glusterd

    Our Gluster volume now has transport encryption enabled
