Description

This module manages OpenSSH.

CentOS, RHEL, Scientific, Oracle Enterprise Linux and OpenBSD is supported using Puppet 4.9.0 or later.

Setup

Beginning with openssh

The module defaults match those of the target OS so in the very simplest case, you can just include the following:

include ::openssh::client
include ::openssh::server

Usage

If you want to tune the security settings of the server:

class { '::openssh::server':
  allow_groups                      => ['ssh-user'],
  challenge_response_authentication => false,
  ciphers                           => [
    'chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com',
    'aes256-gcm@openssh.com',
    'aes128-gcm@openssh.com',
    'aes256-ctr',
    'aes192-ctr',
    'aes128-ctr',
  ],
  host_key                          => [
    '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key',
    '/etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key',
  ],
  kex_algorithms                    => [
    'curve25519-sha256@libssh.org',
    'diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256',
  ],
  macs                              => [
    'hmac-sha2-512-etm@openssh.com',
    'hmac-sha2-256-etm@openssh.com',
    'hmac-ripemd160-etm@openssh.com',
    'umac-128-etm@openssh.com',
    'hmac-sha2-512',
    'hmac-sha2-256',
    'hmac-ripemd160',
    'umac-128@openssh.com',
  ],
  password_authentication           => false,
  permit_root_login                 => false,
  pubkey_authentication             => true,
  protocol                          => [2],
}

Enabling SSH public key lookups from LDAP:

class { '::openssh::server':
  authorized_keys_command      => '/usr/libexec/openssh/ssh-ldap-helper',
  authorized_keys_command_user => 'nobody',
}

class { '::openssh::server::ldap':
  base_dn => 'ou=people,dc=example,dc=com',
  group   => 'nobody',
  uri     => [
    'ldap://ldap.example.com',
  ],
}

To add Match ... blocks to the server configuration:

include ::openssh::server

::openssh::server::match { 'sftponly':
  group                => [
    'sftponly',
  ],
  chroot_directory     => '%h',
  force_command        => 'internal-sftp',
  allow_tcp_forwarding => false,
  x11_forwarding       => false,
}

To create a client configuration file and manage Host ... and Match ... blocks within it:

include ::openssh::client

::openssh::client::configuration { '/home/user/.ssh/config':
  owner => 'user',
  group => 'user',
  mode  => '0640',
}

::openssh::client::host { 'default':
  host          => '*',
  target        => '/home/user/.ssh/config',
  order         => 99,
  proxy_command => '/usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p',
}

::openssh::client::match { 'catch-all':
  target        => '/home/user/.ssh/config',
  proxy_command => '/usr/bin/nc -X connect -x 192.0.2.0:8080 %h %p',
}
