sshd

A general-purpose sshd module for Puppet. Can be used in conjunction FreeIPA/sssd. Has optional firewall and monit support.

Module usage

Use the permissive defaults (password auth and root logins enabled):

include ::sshd

Disable password auth, root logins and rate-limit connections with iptables and ip6tables:

class { '::sshd':
  permitrootlogin        => 'no',
  passwordauthentication => 'no',
  limit                  => '3/min',
}

Enable root logins without password when using ssh keys:

class { '::sshd':
  permitrootlogin        => 'without-password',
  passwordauthentication => 'no',
}

Integrate with FreeIPA authentication:

class { '::sshd':
  authorized_keys_from_sssd => true,
  gssapiauthentication      => 'yes',
}
