about

This is fork of https://github.com/ghoneycutt/puppet-module-ssh with additional support for FreeBSD platform.

Author of the original: https://github.com/ghoneycutt

Fork reason: the lack interest of the author to support FreeBSD OS: ghoneycutt#180 , waiting for updates.

puppet-module-ssh

Manage ssh client and server.

The module uses exported resources to manage ssh keys and removes ssh keys that are not managed by puppet. This behavior is managed by the parameters ssh_key_ensure and purge_keys.

This module may be used with a simple include ::ssh

The ssh::config_entry defined type may be used directly and is used to manage Host entries in a personal ~/.ssh/config file.

Parameters

A value of 'USE_DEFAULTS' will use the defaults specified by the module.

hiera_merge

Boolean to merges all found instances of ssh::keys and ssh::config_entries in Hiera. This is useful for specifying SSH keys at different levels of the hierarchy and having them all included in the catalog.

This will default to 'true' in future versions.

• Default: false

ssh_config_hash_known_hosts

HashKnownHosts in ssh_config. Indicates that ssh should hash host names and addresses when they are added to ~/.ssh/known_hosts. These hashed names may be used normally by ssh and sshd, but they do not reveal identifying information should the file's contents be disclosed. The default is 'no' on Linux.

Note that existing names and addresses in known hosts files will not be converted automatically, but may be manually hashed using ssh-keygen. Use of this option may break facilities such as tab-completion that rely on being able to read unhashed host names from ~/.ssh/known_hosts.

A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.

• Default: 'yes'

Fully qualified path to command for AuthorizedKeysCommand in sshd_config.

• Default: undef

X11Forwarding in sshd_config. Specifies whether X11 forwarding is permitted.

• Default: 'yes'

sshd_x11_use_localhost

X11UseLocalhost in sshd_config. Specifies if sshd should bind the X11 forwarding server to the loopback address or to the wildcard address.

• Default: 'yes'

sshd_use_pam

UsePam in sshd_config. Enables the Pluggable Authentication Module interface. If set to 'yes' this will enable PAM authentication using ChallengeResponseAuthentication and PasswordAuthentication in addition to PAM account and session module processing for all authentication types. This module sets this option to 'yes' on Linux and undef on Solaris.

• Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'

ssh_config_use_roaming

String to enable or disable UseRoaming in client configuration ssh_config. Valid values are 'yes', 'no' and 'unset'. Using 'unset' will not use (print) this configuration parameter at all. Default is set to 'no' on Linux and 'unset' on Solaris. If you have OpenSSH >= version 5.4, this should be set to 'no' to mitigate CVE-2016-0777 and CVE-2016-0778.

• Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'

sshd_client_alive_interval

ClientAliveInterval in sshd_config. Sets a timeout interval in seconds after which if no data has been received from the client, sshd(8) will send a message through the encrypted channel to request a response from the client. The default is 0, indicating that these messages will not be sent to the client. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.

• Default: '0'

sshd_client_alive_count_max

ClientAliveCountMax in sshd_config. Sets the number of client alive messages (see below) which may be sent without sshd(8) receiving any messages back from the client. If this threshold is reached while client alive messages are being sent, sshd will disconnect the client, terminating the session. It is important to note that the use of client alive messages is very different from TCPKeepAlive (below). The client alive messages are sent through the encrypted channel and therefore will not be spoofable. The TCP keepalive option enabled by TCPKeepAlive is spoofable. The client alive mechanism is valuable when the client or server depend on knowing when a connection has become inactive. The default value is 3. If ClientAliveInterval (see below) is set to 15, and ClientAliveCountMax is left at the default, unresponsive SSH clients will be disconnected after approximately 45 seconds. This option applies to protocol version 2 only.

• Default: '3'

sshd_config_tcp_keepalive

TCPKeepAlive in sshd_config. Specifies whether the system should send TCP keepalive messages to the other side. If they are sent, death of the connection or crash of one of the machines will be properly noticed. However, this means that connections will die if the route is down temporarily, and some people find it annoying. On the other hand, if TCP keepalives are not sent, sessions may hang indefinitely on the server, leaving ``ghost'' users and consuming server resources. A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.

On Linux the default is set to ``yes'' (to send TCP keepalive messages), and the server will notice if the network goes down or the client host crashes. This avoids infinitely hanging sessions. On Solaris the default is to not add this parameter to the configuration file.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_use_privilege_separation

UsePrivilegeSeparation in sshd_config. Causes the SSH process to drop root privileges when not needed. If specified, valid values are 'yes', 'no' and 'sandbox'.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_permittunnel

PermitTunnel in sshd_config. Specifies whether tun(4) device forwarding is allowed. The argument must be 'yes', 'point-to-point' (layer 3), 'ethernet' (layer 2), 'no', or 'unset' (parameter not used). Specifying 'yes' permits both 'point-to-point' and 'ethernet'. Independent of this setting, the permissions of the selected tun(4) device must allow access to the user. A value of 'unset' will not add this parameter to the configuration file.

On Linux the default is set to ``no''. On Solaris the default is to not add this parameter to the configuration file.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_ciphers

Array of ciphers for the Ciphers setting in sshd_config.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_kexalgorithms

Array of key exchange algorithms for the KexAlgorithms setting in sshd_config.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_maxsessions

Specifies the maximum number of open sessions permitted per network connection. A value of 'unset' or undef will not add this parameter to the configuration file.

• Default: undef

String with absolute path for the ChrootDirectory directive for the SSH daemon.

• Default: undef

sshd_config_forcecommand

Manage user's ssh_authorized_keys

This works by passing the ssh::keys hash to the ssh_authorized_keys type with create_resources(). Because of this, you may specify any valid parameter for ssh_authorized_key. See the Type Reference for a complete list.

Sample usage:

Push authorized key "root_for_userX" and remove key "root_for_userY" through Hiera.

ssh::keys:
  root_for_userX:
    ensure: present
    user: root
    type: dsa
    key: AAAA...==
  apachehup:
    ensure: present
    user: apachehup
    type: rsa
    key: 'AAAA...=='
    options: 'command="/sbin/service httpd restart"'
  root_for_userY:
    ensure: absent
    user: root

Manage config entries in a personal ssh/config file.

Ssh::Config_entry {
  ensure => present,
  path   => '/home/jenkins/.ssh/config',
  owner  => 'jenkins',
  group  => 'jenkins',
}
