Installs and configures OpenSSH client and daemon.
## Maintainers
This cookbook is maintained by the Sous Chefs. The Sous Chefs are a community of Chef cookbook maintainers working together to maintain important cookbooks. If you’d like to know more please visit [sous-chefs.org](https://sous-chefs.org/) or come chat with us on the Chef Community Slack in [#sous-chefs](https://chefcommunity.slack.com/messages/C2V7B88SF).
## Requirements
### Platforms
- Debian/Ubuntu
- RHEL/CentOS/Scientific/Oracle
- Fedora
- FreeBSD
- Suse Enterprise Linux
- openSUSE / openSUSE leap
- AIX 7.1
- Windows
### Chef
- Chef 12.1+
### Cookbooks
- iptables
## Recipes
### default
Installs openssh packages, manages the sshd config file, configure trusted ca keys, configure revoked keys, and starts/enables the sshd service.
### iptables
Creates an iptables firewall rule to allow inbound SSH connections.
## Usage
Apply the default recipe to the node's run_list to ensure that the openssh packages are installed, sshd is configured, and the service is started and enabled
## Attributes List
The attributes list is dynamically generated, and lines up with the default openssh configs.
This means anything located in [sshd_config](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5) or [ssh_config](http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/man.cgi?query=sshd_config&sektion=5) can be used in your node attributes.
- If the option can be entered more then once, use an _Array_, otherwise, use a _String_. If the option is host-specific use a `Hash` (please see below for more details).
- Each attribute is stored as ruby case, and converted to camel case for the config file on the fly.
- The current default attributes match the stock `ssh_config` and `sshd_config` provided by openssh.
- The namespace for `sshd_config` is `node['openssh']['server']`.
- Likewise, the namespace for `ssh_config` is `node['openssh']['client']`.
- An attribute can be an `Array`, a `Hash` or a `String`.
- If it is an `Array`, each item in the array will get it's own line in the config file.
- `Hash` attributes are meant to used with `ssh_config` namespace to create host-specific configurations. The keys of the `Hash` will be used as the `Host` entries and their associated entries as the configuration values.
- All the values in openssh are commented out in the `attributes/default.rb` file for a base starting point.
- There is one special attribute name, which is `match`. This is not included in the default template like the others. `node['openssh']['server']['match']` must be a Hash, where the key is the match pattern criteria and the value should be a Hash of normal keywords and values. The same transformations listed above apply to these keywords. To get improved sorting of match items, you can prefix the key with a number. See examples below.
## Dynamic ListenAddress
Pass in a `Hash` of interface names, and IP address type(s) to bind sshd to. This will expand to a list of IP addresses which override the default `node['openssh']['server']['listen_address']` value.
## Examples and Common usage
These can be mixed and matched in roles and attributes. Please note, it is possible to get sshd into a state that it will not run. If this is the case, you will need to login via an alternate method and debug sshd like normal.
### No Password logins
This requires use of identity files to connect
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"password_authentication": "no"
}
}
```
### Change sshd Port
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"port": "14188"
}
}
```
### Match
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"match": {
"Address 192.168.1.0/24": {
"password_authentication": "yes"
},
"Group admins": {
"permit_tunnel": "yes",
"max_sessions": "20"
}
}
}
}
```
### Match with sorting
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"match": {
"0 User foobar": {
"force_command": "internal-sftp -d /home/%u -l VERBOSE"
},
"Group admins": {
"force_command": "internal-sftp -d /home/admins -l VERBOSE"
}
}
}
}
```
### Enable X Forwarding
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"x11_forwarding": "yes"
}
}
```
### Bind to a specific set of address (this example actually binds to all)
Not to be used with `node['openssh']['listen_interfaces']`.
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"address_family": "any",
"listen_address": [ "192.168.0.1", "::" ]
}
}
}
```
### Bind to the addresses tied to a set of interfaces
```json
"openssh": {
"listen_interfaces": {
"eth0": "inet",
"eth1": "inet6"
}
}
```
### Configure Trusted User CA Keys
```json
"openssh": {
"ca_keys": [
"ssh-rsa key... ca_id_1",
"ssh-rsa key... ca_id_2"
]
}
```
### Configure Revoked Keys
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"revoked_keys": [
"ssh-rsa key... user_key_1",
"ssh-rsa key... user_key_2"
]
}
}
```
### Host-specific configurations with hashes
You can use a `Hash` with `node['openssh']['client']` to configure different values for different hosts.
```json
"client": {
"*": {
"g_s_s_a_p_i_authentication": "yes",
"send_env": "LANG LC_*",
"hash_known_hosts": "yes"
},
"localhost": {
"user_known_hosts_file": "/dev/null",
"strict_host_key_checking": "no"
},
"127.0.0.1": {
"user_known_hosts_file": "/dev/null",
"strict_host_key_checking": "no"
},
"other*": {
"user_known_hosts_file": "/dev/null",
"strict_host_key_checking": "no"
}
}
```
The keys are used as values with the `Host` entries. So, the configuration fragment shown above generates:
```text
Host *
SendEnv LANG LC_*
HashKnownHosts yes
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
Host localhost
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
Host 127.0.0.1
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
Host other*
StrictHostKeyChecking no
UserKnownHostsFile /dev/null
```
### SSH Subsystems
Configure multiple SSH subsystems (e.g. sftp, netconf):
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"subsystem": {
"sftp": "/usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server",
"appX": "/usr/sbin/appX"
}
}
}
```
Former declaration of single subsystem:
```json
"openssh": {
"server": {
"subsystem": "sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server"
}
}
```
