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.

===

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 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.

• Default: 'USE_DEFAULTS'

ssh_config_path

Path to ssh_config.

• Default: '/etc/ssh/ssh_config'

ssh_config_owner

ssh_config's owner.

• Default: 'root'

sshd_password_authentication

PasswordAuthentication in sshd_config. Specifies whether password authentication is allowed.

• Default: 'yes'

sshd_allow_tcp_forwarding

AllowTcpForwarding in sshd_config. Specifies whether TCP forwarding is permitted.

• 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'

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'

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
