Description

This cookbook maintains the openssh server.

Unlike other sshd cookbooks, this cookbook respects the default settings of the
current operating systems, unless these settings are explicitly overwritten.

This cookbook takes (or at least tries to) the default sshd configruation of the
distribution you are using as a default. Then you can overwrite specific
settings.

See below for the default settings.

Attributes

You can specify the package that installs sshd, using the following attribute.
There's defaults for most linux distributions.

node['sshd']['package']      # Package to install openssh-server

The following settings will be filled in using the defaults of the distribution you're using, unless you overwrite it in your node configuration / definition

node['sshd']['sshd_path']        # Path to sshd executable
node['sshd']['config_file']      # Path to sshd_config
node['sshd']['sshd_config_mode'] # File mode of sshd_config
node['sshd']['service_name']     # OpenSSH service name

You can specify every configuration option that openssh-server supports in the
sshd_config attribute. The settings you specify will be merged with the
distributions default settings.

node['sshd']['sshd_config']['Port'] = 22

Conditional blocks are defined using hashes

node['sshd']['sshd_config']['Match']['User fred']['X11Forwarding'] = 'no'
node['sshd']['sshd_config']['Match'] = {
  'User john' => {
    'ChrootDirectory' => '/srv',
    'ForceCommand' => 'internal-sftp',
    'AllowTcpForwarding' => 'no',
    'X11Forwarding' => 'no'
  }
}

Some configuration options can be specified multiple times. You can reflect this
using an array

node['sshd']['sshd_config']['HostKey'] = %w(key1 key2)

Recipes

default

Runs the install recipe, then configures openssh-server according to the node attributes.

install

Just installs openssh-server without configuring it, as well as enabling and starting the daemon.

Definitions

You can also maintain openssh-server using the definition. This is the
recommended way.

To use the definition, make sure your metadata.rb includes

depends 'sshd'

openssh_server

To install and configure openssh-server from other recipes, use the following definition:

openssh_server node['sshd']['config_file']

or, if you need a configuration which differs from the default

openssh_server '/etc/sshd_config' do
  Port 1234
  X11Forward 'no'
end

The definition accepts all configuration options sshd_config supports.

openssh_server node['sshd']['config_file'] do
  Port        1234
  X11Forward  'yes'

  # To specify an option multiple times, use an array
  HostKey     %w(/etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key)

  # For conditional blocks, use a hash
  Match       'User fred' => { 'X11Forwarding' => 'no' },
              'User john' => {
                'ChrootDirectory' => '/srv',
                'ForceCommand' => 'internal-sftp',
                'AllowTcpForwarding' => 'no',
                'X11Forwarding' => 'no'
              }
end

In case you need it, you can also use a custom template to use for sshd_config

openssh_server node['sshd']['config_file'] do
  cookbook 'mycookbook'
  source   'mytemplate.erb'
end

Default sshd_config settings

The following options are set by default

Port 22
Protocol 2
AcceptEnv LANG LC_*
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ed25519_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_rsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_dsa_key
HostKey /etc/ssh/ssh_host_ecdsa_key
PasswordAuthentication yes
ChallengeResponseAuthentication no
X11Forwarding yes
UsePAM yes

Plus, on debian/ubuntu machines

SyslogFacility AUTH
GSSAPIAuthentication no
Subsystem sftp /usr/lib/openssh/sftp-server

And on centos/compatible machines

SyslogFacility AUTHPRIV
GSSAPIAuthentication yes
Subsystem sftp /usr/libexec/openssh/sftp-server
