Description
Install and configure stud, a scalable TLS unwrapping daemon
Requirements
Tested on Ubuntu Linux
Uses the install_from cookbook to build stud.
Attributes
All attributes exist under the node[:stud]
-
[:version]
- The tagged version of stud to install from. Installing from HEAD is not currently supported. -
[:user]
- The user to install and run stud under. Must have write permissions under /usr/local/share. -
[:install_prefix_root]
- The prefix root under which stud is installed. Stud will be installed to <this folder>/share/stud. -
[:pemfile_path]
= The path to the chained pemfile (must include private key and certificate)
The following attributes are used to pass options to the stud command line interface. They default to the stud defaults/recommendations.
-
[:options][:tls]
- Use TLSv1. Ignored if[:options][:ssl]
is true. -
[:options][:ssl]
- Use SSLv3 (implies no TLSv1) -
[:options][:cipher_suite]
- set allowed ciphers (default is OpenSSL defaults) -
[:options][:engine]
- set OpenSSL engine -
[:options][:backend_host]

[:options][:backend_port]
- backend port to connect to (default 8000) -
[:options][:frontend_host]

Usage
All you need to do is include the [stud::default] recipe in your role, and configure any attributes whose defaults you wish to override.
Note that this recipe honors the defaults/recommendations as set forth by the stud authors. I recommend the following changes for a typical SSL environment.
-
[:options][:ssl]
- true -
[:options][:workers]
- 2 (or however many workers you have - nobody runs single core machines these days) -
[:options][:write_proxy]
- true (iff you use haproxy 1.5+)
