Enterprise activation

Configure and verify Ductor's fail-closed enterprise security profile.

Set security_profile: enterprise to enable Ductor's fail-closed production security posture. The process validates every required control at startup and refuses to serve traffic when a required dependency or setting is missing.

The enterprise hardening posture

security_profile: enterprise applies a fail-closed posture after static config loads, and the process will not start unless the required knobs are set explicitly:

RequirementSetting
Fail-closed authorizationauthz.allow_when_unconfigured=false
Enforced egressegress.mode=enforce
Durable marketplace with signature verificationmarketplace.enabled=true + artifact_verification trusted keys
Real connector master-key sourceconnector.encryption_key or key_provider.enabled=true with wrapped_master (KMS/Vault)
Exec fails closedserver.exec_isolation_required=true (in-process exec fails until a real isolated runner is wired)
Workflow-runtime safety limitsnonzero tick timeout, CAN thresholds, transition and run-state caps
Loopback-bound metricsmetrics listener bound to loopback (also part of the Helm production gate)
Cross-replica aggregatoraggregator.backend=redis

Switch the aggregator to redis before production

aggregator.backend=memory (the default) is in-process only: it loses every deferred slot on restart and does not coordinate across replicas. Enterprise requires redis, and you should switch to it before flipping the aggregator on in any multi-replica production deployment — not after.

See Security & auth for the individual controls and Key management for the master-key source.

Verify the profile before rollout

Enable the profile in a non-production environment first and confirm that the service starts with the same secret, Redis, marketplace-signing, metrics, and execution-isolation configuration you will use in production. A startup failure identifies the missing or unsafe setting; correct the configuration instead of disabling the profile.

After startup, check readiness and exercise an authenticated, tenant-scoped request before admitting traffic. See Health checks for probe behavior and Production deployment for rollout guidance.
