TLS
===
This guide describes how to configure Kolla Ansible to deploy OpenStack with
TLS enabled. Enabling TLS on the provided internal and/or external VIP address
allows OpenStack clients to authenticate and encrypt network communication
with OpenStack services.
When an OpenStack service exposes an API endpoint, Kolla Ansible will
configure HAProxy for that service to listen on the internal and/or
external VIP address. The HAProxy container load-balances requests on
the VIPs to the nodes running the service container.
There are two different layers of TLS configuration for OpenStack APIs:
1. Enabling TLS on the internal and/or external VIP, so communication between
an OpenStack client and the HAProxy listening on the VIP is secure.
2. Enabling TLS on the backend network, so communication between HAProxy and
the backend API services is secure.
.. note::
TLS authentication is based on certificates that have been signed by
trusted Certificate Authorities. Examples of commercial CAs are Comodo,
Symantec, GoDaddy, and GlobalSign. Letsencrypt.org is a CA that will
provide trusted certificates at no charge. If using a trusted CA is not
possible for your project, you can use a private CA, e.g. Hashicorp Vault,
to create a certificate for your domain, or see
:ref:`admin-tls-generating-a-private-ca` to use a Kolla Ansible generated
private CA.
Quick Start
~~~~~~~~~~~
.. note::
The certificates generated by Kolla Ansible use a simple Certificate
Authority setup and are not suitable for a production deployment. Only
certificates signed by a trusted Certificate Authority should be used in a
production deployment.
To deploy OpenStack with TLS enabled for the external, internal and backend
APIs, configure the following in ``globals.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_enable_tls_internal: "yes"
kolla_enable_tls_external: "yes"
kolla_enable_tls_backend: "yes"
kolla_copy_ca_into_containers: "yes"
If deploying on Debian or Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: yaml
openstack_cacert: "/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt"
If on CentOS or RHEL:
.. code-block:: yaml
openstack_cacert: "/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt"
The Kolla Ansible ``certificates`` command generates a private test Certificate
Authority, and then uses the CA to sign the generated certificates for the
enabled VIP(s) to test TLS in your OpenStack deployment. Assuming you are
using the ``multinode`` inventory:
.. code-block:: console
kolla-ansible -i ~/multinode certificates
TLS Configuration for internal/external VIP
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The configuration variables that control TLS for the internal and/or external
VIP are:
- ``kolla_enable_tls_external``
- ``kolla_enable_tls_internal``
- ``kolla_internal_fqdn_cert``
- ``kolla_external_fqdn_cert``
.. note::
If TLS is enabled only on the internal or external network, then
``kolla_internal_vip_address`` and ``kolla_external_vip_address`` must
be different.
If there is only a single network configured in your topology
(as opposed to separate internal and external networks), TLS
can only be enabled using the internal network configuration variables.
The default state for TLS networking is disabled. To enable external TLS
encryption:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_enable_tls_external: "yes"
To enable internal TLS encryption:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_enable_tls_internal: "yes"
Two certificate files are required to use TLS securely with authentication,
which will be provided by your Certificate Authority:
* server certificate with private key
* CA certificate with any intermediate certificates
The combined server certificate and private key needs to be provided to Kolla
Ansible, with the path configured via ``kolla_external_fqdn_cert`` or
``kolla_internal_fqdn_cert``. These paths default to ``{{
kolla_certificates_dir }}/haproxy.pem`` and ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir
}}/haproxy-internal.pem`` respectively, where ``kolla_certificates_dir`` is
``/etc/kolla/certificates`` by default.
If the server certificate provided is not already trusted by clients, then
the CA certificate file will need to be distributed to the clients. This is
discussed in more detail in :ref:`admin-tls-openrc` and
:ref:`admin-tls-ca-in-containers`.
.. _admin-tls-openrc:
Configuring the OpenStack Client for TLS
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The location for the CA certificate for the ``admin-openrc.sh`` file is
configured with the ``kolla_admin_openrc_cacert`` variable, which is not set by
default. This must be a valid path on all hosts where ``admin-openrc.sh`` is
used.
When TLS is enabled on a VIP, and ``kolla_admin_openrc_cacert`` is set to
``/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt``, an OpenStack client will have settings
similar to this configured by ``admin-openrc.sh``:
.. code-block:: shell
export OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=Default
export OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin
export OS_TENANT_NAME=admin
export OS_USERNAME=admin
export OS_PASSWORD=demoPassword
export OS_AUTH_URL=https://mykolla.example.net:5000
export OS_INTERFACE=internal
export OS_ENDPOINT_TYPE=internalURL
export OS_MISTRAL_ENDPOINT_TYPE=internalURL
export OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3
export OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
export OS_AUTH_PLUGIN=password
# os_cacert is optional for trusted certificates
export OS_CACERT=/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
.. _admin-tls-ca-in-containers:
Adding CA Certificates to the Service Containers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
To copy CA certificate files to the service containers:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_copy_ca_into_containers: "yes"
When ``kolla_copy_ca_into_containers`` is configured to "yes", the CA
certificate files in ``/etc/kolla/certificates/ca`` will be copied into
service containers to enable trust for those CA certificates. This is required
for any certificates that are either self-signed or signed by a private CA,
and are not already present in the service image trust store. Kolla will
install these certificates in the container system wide trust store when the
container starts.
All certificate file names will have the ``kolla-customca-`` prefix prepended
to them when they are copied into the containers. For example, if a certificate
file is named ``internal.crt``, it will be named
``kolla-customca-internal.crt`` in the containers.
For Debian and Ubuntu containers, the certificate files will be copied to the
``/usr/local/share/ca-certificates/`` directory.
For CentOS and RHEL containers, the certificate files will be copied to the
``/etc/pki/ca-trust/source/anchors/`` directory.
In both cases, valid certificates will be added to the system trust store -
``/etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt`` on Debian and Ubuntu, and
``/etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt`` on CentOS and RHEL.
Configuring a CA bundle
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
OpenStack services do not always trust CA certificates from the system trust
store by default. To resolve this, the ``openstack_cacert`` variable should be
configured with the path to the CA Certificate in the container.
To use the system trust store on Debian or Ubuntu:
.. code-block:: yaml
openstack_cacert: /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt
For CentOS or RHEL:
.. code-block:: yaml
openstack_cacert: /etc/pki/tls/certs/ca-bundle.crt
Back-end TLS Configuration
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Enabling TLS on the backend services secures communication between the
HAProxy listing on the internal/external VIP and the OpenStack
services. It also enables secure end-to-end communication between OpenStack
services that support TLS termination. The OpenStack services that support
backend TLS termination in Ussuri are: Keystone, Glance, Heat, Placement,
Horizon, Barbican, and Cinder.
The configuration variables that control back-end TLS for service endpoints
are:
- ``kolla_enable_tls_backend``
- ``kolla_tls_backend_cert``
- ``kolla_tls_backend_key``
- ``haproxy_backend_cacert``
- ``haproxy_backend_cacert_dir``
The default state for back-end TLS is disabled. To enable TLS for the back-end
communication:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_enable_tls_backend: "yes"
It is also possible to enable back-end TLS on a per-service basis. For example,
to enable back-end TLS for Keystone, set ``keystone_enable_tls_backend`` to
``yes``.
The default values for ``haproxy_backend_cacert`` and
``haproxy_backend_cacert_dir`` should suffice if the certificate is in the
system trust store. Otherwise, they should be configured to a location of the
CA certificate installed in the service containers.
Each backend service requires a certificate and private key. In many cases it
is necessary to use a separate certificate and key for each host, or even
per-service. The following precedence is used for the certificate:
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}/{{ project_name
}}-cert.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-cert.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ project_name }}-cert.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_tls_backend_cert }}``
And for the private key:
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}/{{ project_name
}}-key.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ inventory_hostname }}-key.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir }}/{{ project_name }}-key.pem``
* ``{{ kolla_tls_backend_key }}``
The default for ``kolla_certificates_dir`` is ``/etc/kolla/certificates``.
``kolla_tls_backend_cert`` and ``kolla_tls_backend_key``, default to ``{{
kolla_certificates_dir }}/backend-cert.pem`` and ``{{ kolla_certificates_dir
}}/backend-key.pem`` respectively.
``project_name`` is the name of the OpenStack service, e.g. ``keystone`` or
``cinder``.
.. note::
The back-end TLS cert/key can be the same certificate that is used for the
VIP, as long as those certificates are configured to allow requests from
both the VIP and internal networks.
By default, the TLS certificate will be verified as trustable by the
OpenStack services. Although not recommended for production, it is possible to
disable verification of the backend certificate:
.. code-block:: yaml
kolla_verify_tls_backend: "no"
.. _admin-tls-generating-a-private-ca:
Generating a Private Certificate Authority
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
.. note::
The certificates generated by Kolla Ansible use a simple Certificate
Authority setup and are not suitable for a production deployment. Only
certificates signed by a trusted Certificate Authority should be used in a
production deployment.
It's not always practical to get a certificate signed by a trusted CA. In a
development or internal test OpenStack deployment, it can be useful to
generate certificates locally to enable TLS.
For convenience, the ``kolla-ansible`` command will generate the necessary
certificate files based on the information in the ``globals.yml``
configuration file and the inventory file:
.. code-block:: console
kolla-ansible -i multinode certificates
The ``certificates`` role performs the following actions:
1. Generates a test root Certificate Authority
2. Generates the internal/external certificates which are signed by the root
CA.
3. If back-end TLS is enabled, generate the back-end certificate signed by
the root CA.
The combined certificate and key file ``haproxy.pem`` (which is the default
value for ``kolla_external_fqdn_cert``) will be generated and stored in the
``/etc/kolla/certificates/`` directory, and a copy of the CA certificate
(``root.crt``) will be stored in the ``/etc/kolla/certificates/ca/`` directory.
