DKER-EE-001890 - The option in Universal Control Plane (UCP) allowing users and administrators to schedule containers on all nodes, including UCP managers and Docker Trusted Registry (DTR) nodes must be disabled in Docker Enterprise.
Information
Docker Enterprise includes the following capabilities that are considered non-essential:*NOTE: disabling these capabilities negatively affects the operation of UCP and DTR and should be disregarded when UCP and DTR are installed. The security capabilities provided by UCP and DTR offset any potential vulnerabilities associated with not disabling these essential capabilities the Engine provides.
(Docker Engine - Enterprise: Standalone) - The majority of these items were originally identified as part of the CIS Docker Benchmark, which as of the CIS Docker Benchmark v1.2.0, are still applicable to Docker Engine - Enterprise 18.09
- inter-container communication (icc)* (CIS Docker Benchmark Recommendation 2.1)
- insecure registry communication (CIS Docker Benchmark Recommendation 2.4)
- AUFS storage driver (applicable on Linux only) (CIS Docker Benchmark Recommendation 2.5)
- listening on the TCP Daemon socket
- userland proxy for loopback traffic* (CIS Docker Benchmark Recommendation 2.15)

- Managed user database
- self-signed certificates
- periodic usage reporting and API tracking
- allow users and administrators to schedule containers on all nodes, including UCP managers and DTR nodes
(DTR)
- periodic data usage/analytics reporting
- create repository on push
- self-signed certificates

Solution
This fix only applies to the UCP component of Docker Enterprise.Prevent admins and users from being able to schedule containers on manager nodes and DTR nodes.
via UI:
As a Docker EE Admin, navigate to 'Admin Settings' | 'Scheduler' in the UCP management console. Uncheck both the 'Allow administrators to deploy containers on UCP managers or nodes running DTR' and 'Allow users to schedule on all nodes, including UCP managers and DTR nodes' options. Click 'Save'.
via CLI:
Linux: As a Docker EE Admin, execute the following commands on a machine that can communicate with the UCP management console. Replace [ucp_url] with the UCP URL, [ucp_username] with the username of a UCP administrator and [ucp_password] with the password of a UCP administrator:
AUTHTOKEN=$(curl -sk -d '{'username':'[ucp_username]','password':'[ucp_password]'}' https://[ucp_url]/auth/login | jq -r .auth_token)
curl -sk -H 'Authorization: Bearer $AUTHTOKEN' https://[ucp_url]/api/ucp/config-toml > ucp-config.toml
Open the 'ucp-config.toml' file, set the 'enable_admin_ucp_scheduling' entry under the '[scheduling_configuration]' section to 'false'. Save the file.
Execute the following commands to update UCP with the new configuration:
curl -sk -H 'Authorization: Bearer $AUTHTOKEN' --upload-file ucp-config.toml https://[ucp_url]/api/ucp/config-toml
Delete the Grant for the 'Scheduler' role against the '/' collection for the 'docker-datacenter' organization by executing the following command:
curl -sk -H 'Authorization: Bearer $AUTHTOKEN' -X DELETE https://[ucp_url]/collectionGrants/[subjectID]/[objectID]/[roleID]
