puppet-ssh

Puppet module to manage SSH host and user access.

The recommended usage is to place the configuration is hiera and just:

include ssh

Example hiera config:

ssh::access::allow:
  - 'alice'
  - 'bob'
  - '@sysadmins'
ssh::access::deny:
  - 'mallory'
  - '@dev'

ssh::keys::bob:
  type: 'ssh-rsa'
  public_key: 'AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQBaSth67VpPf6i737TWFYwBUwZdovDyfr2df94YbINWOkOQTBoaR5TnUSgqorpTUGmif8w2khqWWb/ZI+l5HQckR8WVVgBDnFPnXcYZ2ok0qV85bD/ttlpw4QDMb82+f72YcBu4h5A2eKxroqFQCyigfXtE3JjgakIm3iW7OW6XQUkAT8MZFhy3xlodJCdNOxvxawd9CVpw70cTeA7bXBiS8AFUpcKp20Z45tixiESrH2E4TRCy8HHxnN6fGUG+Xt6No265fPpEc+Bg+/hkrguIVEuj2NoIoQcS4F8Kew73jnJte4qugNbJIwcKTWn3NvgjA2CwPIWxvkvJerx129cf'

ssh::users:
  bob:
    allow: [ 'alice', 'bob' ]
    deny:  [ 'mallory' ]
  tomcat1:
    allow: [ 'alice', 'bob', 'sam' ]

Host SSH access

Access to the host using is restricted using OpenSSH sshd directives to allow and deny access to users or group members. As per the sshd_config(5) man page, the allow/deny directives are processed in the following order: DenyUsers, AllowUsers, DenyGroups, and finally AllowGroups.

ssh::access parameters:

allow: The list of users or groups who will be allowed SSH access. Group names are prefixed with an '@' sign.

deny The list of users or groups that will not be allowed SSH access. Group names are prefixed with an '@' sign.

SSH public keys

User SSH public keys are configured using ssh::keys:: entries - for example to specify the public key for the bob user:

ssh::keys::bob:
  type: 'ssh-rsa'
  public_key: 'AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAABJQAAAQBaSth67VpPf6i737TWFYwBUwZdovDyfr2df94YbINWOkOQTBoaR5TnUSgqorpTUGmif8w2khqWWb/ZI+l5HQckR8WVVgBDnFPnXcYZ2ok0qV85bD/ttlpw4QDMb82+f72YcBu4h5A2eKxroqFQCyigfXtE3JjgakIm3iW7OW6XQUkAT8MZFhy3xlodJCdNOxvxawd9CVpw70cTeA7bXBiS8AFUpcKp20Z45tixiESrH2E4TRCy8HHxnN6fGUG+Xt6No265fPpEc+Bg+/hkrguIVEuj2NoIoQcS4F8Kew73jnJte4qugNbJIwcKTWn3NvgjA2CwPIWxvkvJerx129cf'

ssh::keys:: parameters:

type: The type of SSH key, usually either 'ssh-rsa' or 'ssh-dsa'. Required

public_key: The base64-encoded public key. Required

User SSH access

Access to a user account is determined by the public keys listed in the user's $HOME/.ssh/ssh_authorized_keys file.

For example to allow access to the bob user account using both bob and alice's public keys:

ssh::users:
  bob:
    allow: [ 'alice', 'bob' ]
    deny:  [ 'mallory' ]

For each ssh::users user specified the following parameters can be specified:

allow: The list of users whose public key must be added to the user's authorized_keys file and who will be allowed access to the user account using SSH

deny: The list of users to allow whose public key must not be present in the user's authorized_keys file and who will not be allowed access to the user account using SSH

Notes

  • Only a single SSH public key can be specified for each user
