SKA - SSH Key Authority
=======================
*Please see the [Security Advisories](#security-advisories) section below for a recently addressed security issue*
A tool for managing user and server SSH access to any number of servers.
Features
--------
* Easily manage SSH key access for all accounts on your servers.
* Manage user access and server-to-server access rules.
* Integrate with your LDAP directory service for user authorization.
* Automatically remove server access from people when they leave your team.
* Provides an easy interface for your users to upload their public keys.
* Designate server administrators and let them manage access to their own server.
* Create group-based access rules for easier management.
* Specify SSH access options such as `command=`, `nopty` etc on your access rules.
* All access changes are logged to the database and to the system logs. Granting of access is also reported by email.
* Be notified when a server becomes orphaned (has no active administrators).
Demo
----
You can view the SSH Key Authority in action on the [demonstration server](https://ska.xiven.com/).
Use one of the following sets of username / password credentials to log in:
* testuser / testuser - normal user with admin access granted to a few servers
* testadmin / testadmin - admin user
All data on this demonstration server is reset nightly at 00:00 UTC.
Requirements
------------
* An LDAP directory service
* Apache 2.2 or higher
* PHP 5.6 or higher
* PHP JSON extension
* PHP LDAP extension
* PHP mbstring (Multibyte String) extension
* PHP MySQL extension
* PHP ssh2 extension
* MySQL (5.5+), Percona Server (5.5+) or MariaDB database
Installation
------------
1. Clone the repo somewhere outside of your default Apache document root.
2. Add the following directives to your Apache configuration (eg. virtual host config):
DocumentRoot /path/to/ska/public_html
DirectoryIndex init.php
FallbackResource /init.php
3. Create a MySQL user and database (run in MySQL shell):
CREATE USER 'ska-user'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'password';
CREATE DATABASE `ska-db` DEFAULT CHARACTER SET utf8mb4;
GRANT ALL ON `ska-db`.* to 'ska-user'@'localhost';
4. Copy the file `config/config-sample.ini` to `config/config.ini` and edit the settings as required.
5. Set up authnz_ldap for your virtual host (or any other authentication module that will pass on an Auth-user
variable to the application).
6. Set `scripts/ldap_update.php` to run on a regular cron job.
7. Generate an SSH key pair to synchronize with. SSH Key Authority will expect to find the files as `config/keys-sync` and `config/keys-sync.pub`
for the private and public keys respectively. The key must be in `pem` format. The following command will generate the key in the required format:
ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -m PEM -C 'comment' -f config/keys-sync
8. Install the SSH key synchronization daemon. For systemd:
1. Copy `services/systemd/keys-sync.service` to `/etc/systemd/system/`
2. Modify `ExecStart` path and `User` as necessary. If SSH Key Authority is installed under `/home`, disable `ProtectHome`.
3. `systemctl daemon-reload`
4. `systemctl enable keys-sync.service`
for sysv-init:
1. Copy `services/init.d/keys-sync` to `/etc/init.d/`
2. Modify `SCRIPT` path and `USER` as necessary.
3. `update-rc.d keys-sync defaults`
Usage
-----
Anyone in the LDAP group defined under `admin_group_cn` in `config/config.ini` will be able to manage accounts and servers.
Key distribution
----------------
SSH Key Authority distributes authorized keys to your servers via SSH. It does this by:
1. Connecting to the server with SSH, authorizing as the `keys-sync` user.
2. Writing the appropriate authorized keys to named user files in `/var/local/keys-sync/` (eg. all authorized keys for the root user will be written to `/var/local/keys-sync/root`).
This means that your SSH installation will need to be reconfigured to read authorized keys from `/var/local/keys-sync/`.
Please note that doing so will deny access to any existing SSH public key authorized in the default `~/.ssh` directories.
Under OpenSSH, the configuration changes needed are:
AuthorizedKeysFile /var/local/keys-sync/%u
StrictModes no
StrictModes must be disabled because the files will all be owned by the keys-sync user.
The file `/var/local/keys-sync/keys-sync` must exist, with the same contents as the `config/keys-sync.pub` file in order for the synchronization daemon to authenticate.
