[OmniOS-discuss] publisher signature-policy=require-signatures for new zones

Hello,

r151008 now includes signed packages, but the default signature-policy is verify, so it's still vulnerable to MITM if the attacker simply removes the signatures from the manifests.

I can run

   pkg set-publisher --set-property signature-policy=require-signatures omnios

immediately after install from the iso to make sure any updates in the global zone are properly checked.

However, when I install a zone, the zone's signature-policy is the default of verify. pkg downloads files from the IPS server, so anything in the zone's image is vulnerable.

Is it possible to specify signature-policy=require-signatures for new zones in the initial configuration?

Thanks,

Ben
