Changelog

debops.sshd

This project adheres to Semantic Versioning and human-readable changelog.

The current role maintainer_ is drybjed_.

debops.sshd master - unreleased

Added

  • When OpenSSH server is installed for the first time, make sure that the service is not started before being properly secured. [sourcejedi]

Changed

  • LDAP lookup script now works with binary and text attributes. [pedroluislopez_]

debops.sshd v0.2.5 - 2016-10-10

Changed

debops.sshd v0.2.4 - 2016-07-31

Added

Changed

  • Fixed Ansible check mode support to not fail when running with ansible_connection=local against a host which does not have sshd installed yet. [ypid_]
  • Make sure that not registered conditional variable returns an empty list. [cultcom]
  • Update documentation and Changelog. [drybjed_]

debops.sshd v0.2.3 - 2016-02-21

Added

  • Automatically remove Diffie-Hellman parameters from :file:`/etc/ssh/moduli` which are smaller than the size specified in sshd_moduli_minimum variable (by default 2048 bits). [drybjed_]

Changed

  • Fix deprecation warnings on Ansible 2.1.0. [drybjed_]
  • Rename all role variables to put them in sshd__ namespace. You might need to update your Ansible inventory. [drybjed_]

debops.sshd v0.2.2 - 2015-11-13

Changed

  • Make sure that role works in Ansible check mode. [drybjed_]

Removed

  • Removed debops.sshkeys from role dependencies as it is also run from the :file:`common.yml` playbook. [ypid_]

  • Remove most of the Ansible role dependencies, leaving only those that are required for the role to run correctly.

    Configuration of dependent services like firewall, TCP Wrappers, APT preferences is set in separate default variables. These variables can be used by Ansible playbooks to configure settings related to sshd in other services. [drybjed_]

debops.sshd v0.2.1 - 2015-08-16

Added

  • New variable sshd_paranoid, allows to limit the use of various encryption algorithms to only first (presumed safest) choice. [ypid_]

Changed

  • sshd_custom_options variable has been moved to top of the sshd_config file, that way it can be used to override any option if necessary, since sshd uses first instance of an option it finds in the config file. [ypid_]

debops.sshd v0.2.0 - 2015-08-16

Added

  • Add debops.secret_ role dependency, it's needed for access to LDAP secrets. [drybjed_]

  • Add debops.apt_preferences_ role dependency. OpenSSH from wheezy-backports will be installed on Debian Wheezy, if the repository is present. This brings version parity with Debian Jessie (current Stable), adds support for better encryption ciphers and allows to look up SSH public keys in external authentication sources. [drybjed_]

  • Add separate sshd_ferm_ports variable which is a list that defines what ports are opened in the firewall for access to OpenSSH server. By default only :command:`ssh` port from :file:`/etc/services` is opened. [drybjed_]

  • Add tags for debops.tcpwrappers_ and debops.sshkeys role dependencies. [drybjed_]

  • Add sshd_listen list which can be used to specify IP addresses of interfaces on which sshd should listen for new connections. If list is not specified, sshd will listen on all interfaces. [drybjed_]

  • Add configuration variables for MaxAuthTries and LoginGraceTime options. [drybjed_]

  • Create Ed25519 host key if it's not present and OpenSSH version supports it. [drybjed_]

  • Add support for public key lookup in external sources.

    Support for AuthorizedKeysCommand option will be disabled by default, and can be enabled on Debian Jessie as well as on Debian Wheezy with backported OpenSSH version using sshd_authorized_keys_lookup variable. Scripts that perform the lookups will be executed on a separate system UNIX account to provide privilege separation. [drybjed_]

  • Add LDAP lookup script and configuration.

    When a host is configured using debops.auth_ to access account information from LDAP and system-wide configuration in :file:`/etc/ldap/ldap.conf` is set properly, OpenSSH can perform LDAP lookups using external script to retrieve valid SSH public keys. LDAP lookup will be configured by default if AuthorizedKeysCommand lookup is enabled on a host. [drybjed_]

  • Add missing tags to Ansible tasks. [drybjed_]

Changed

  • Request :command:`sudo` access on Travis-CI. [drybjed_]

  • Update documentation. [drybjed_]

  • Change how OpenSSH packages are managed.

    Main list of packages is moved to sshd_base_packages variable, sshd_packages is an empty list which can be used to include additional packages if needed.

    By default debops.sshd will automatically upgrade packages - this is needed on Debian Wheezy to install newer version of OpenSSH from wheezy-backports. To disable automatic upgrades, role will add a separate local fact which indicates that debops.sshd is configured on a given host. This will automatically switch the :command:`apt` module from upgrading the packages to ensuring that they are present. [drybjed_]

  • Rename sshd_config_ports to sshd_ports. [drybjed_]

  • Rename sshd_PermitRootLogin to sshd_permit_root_login. [drybjed_]

  • Rename sshd_PasswordAuthentication to sshd_password_authentication. [drybjed_]

  • Rename sshd_X11Forwarding to sshd_x11_forwarding. [drybjed_]

  • Rename sshd_AllowGroups to sshd_allow_groups and expand it to additional lists, sshd_group_allow_groups and sshd_host_allow_groups.

    Variable is converted from a string to a YAML list. List of system groups that are allowed to login hasn't been changed. If no groups are specified, option is not enabled and no limits are imposed by sshd. [drybjed_]

  • Reorganize various sshd_authorized_keys* variables into a list split into "system" and "user" authorized key files. Support for Monkeysphere authorized keys out of the box is dropped, might be re-added in the future if there is interest. [drybjed_]

  • Make PrivilegeSeparation option configurable. [drybjed_]

  • Make LogLevel configurable. [drybjed_]

  • Make MaxStartups option configurable. [drybjed_]

  • Make Banner option configurable. [drybjed_]

  • Refactor Ciphers, KexAlgorithms and MACs options.

    Various OpenSSH encryption options are not static anymore. Instead, debops.sshd will check what version of OpenSSH package is installed on a host and will pick a list of algorithms for each of the mentioned options from a defined set according to what version is installed, to make sure that there won't be an issue with unsupported ciphers.

    Current set of algorithms has been taken from Mozilla and should work with OpenSSH available in Debian Jessie. There's a separate set of algorithms for Debian Wheezy without backported OpenSSH installed as well. [drybjed_]

  • Make Match options configurable.

    Static Match options defined previously are moved to a sshd_match_list list variable, with a SFTPonly configuration enabled by default.

    SFTPonly configuration will now use global PasswordAuthentication option instead of forcibly disabling password authentication. [drybjed_]

  • Update :file:`defaults/main.yml` file to support .rst documentation and add whitespace in various files for better readability. [drybjed_]

Removed

  • Remove :file:`tasks/backup.yml` and :file:`tasks/restore.yml`, they are not used in main role task list. [drybjed_]
  • Remove debops.auth_ role dependency. Configuration done by this role is assumed to be present, since it's executed as part of the :file:`common.yml` playbook. [drybjed_]
  • Remove sshd_HostKey list. Instead of a static list of host keys, debops.sshd role will check what host keys are present in :file:`/etc/ssh/` directory. Using sshd_host_keys list which provides types of keys and their preferred order, host keys that are present will be added to sshd configuration file. [drybjed_]
  • Remove sshd_config_options_begin and sshd_config_options_end variables and replace them with with sshd_custom_options YAML text block variable. [drybjed_]

debops.sshd v0.1.0 - 2015-08-10
