SSL certificates for HAProxy
----------------------------
Securing HAProxy communication with SSL certificates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are two options for deploying SSL certificates with HAProxy: self-signed
and user-provided certificates. Auto-generated self-signed certificates are
currently the default.
The openstack-ansible project provides the ability to secure HAProxy
communications with self-signed or user-provided SSL certificates.
Self-signed SSL certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Refer to `Securing services with SSL certificates`_ for available configuration
options.
For self-signed certificates, users can configure the subject of the
certificate using the ``haproxy_ssl_self_signed_subject`` variable.
By default, the playbook won't regenerate a self-signed SSL certificate if one
already exists on the target. To force the certificate to be regenerated
the next time the playbook runs, set ``haproxy_ssl_self_signed_regen`` to
``true``. To do a one-time SSL certificate regeneration, you can run:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible -e 'haproxy_ssl_self_signed_regen=True' haproxy-install.yml
Keep in mind that regenerating self-signed certificates will overwrite any
existing certificates and keys, including ones that were previously
user-provided (see the following section).
The playbook will then use memcached to distribute the certificates and keys to
each HAProxy host.
User-provided SSL certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users can provide their own trusted certificates in a two step process:
#. Copy the SSL certificate, key, and CA certificate to the deployment host
#. Specify the path to those files on the deployment host
The path to the SSL certificate, key and CA certificate on the `deployment
host` must be specified in ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``:
* ``haproxy_user_ssl_cert`` - path to the SSL certificate
* ``haproxy_user_ssl_key`` - path to the key
* ``haproxy_user_ssl_ca_cert`` - path to the CA certificate
If those three variables are provided, the playbook will deploy the files to
each HAProxy host.

Configuring Horizon (optional)
Configuring HAProxy (optional)
------------------------------
Customizing the Horizon deployment is done within
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``.
SSL certificates
----------------
Securing HAProxy communication with SSL certificates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
There are two options for deploying SSL certificates with Horizon: self-signed
and user-provided certificates. Auto-generated self-signed certificates are
currently the default.
The openstack-ansible project provides the ability to secure Horizon
communications with self-signed or user-provided SSL certificates.
Self-signed SSL certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Refer to `Securing services with SSL certificates`_ for available configuration
options.
For self-signed certificates, users can configure the subject of the
certificate using the ``horizon_ssl_self_signed_subject`` variable. By
default, the playbook won't regenerate a self-signed SSL certificate if one
already exists in the container. To force the certificate to be regenerated
the next time the playbook runs, set ``horizon_ssl_self_signed_regen`` to
``true``.
The playbook will then use memcached to distribute the certificates and keys to
each horizon container.
User-provided SSL certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Users can provide their own trusted certificates by setting three variables:
* ``horizon_user_ssl_cert`` - path to the SSL certificate in the container
* ``horizon_user_ssl_key`` - path to the key in the container
* ``horizon_user_ssl_ca_cert`` - path to the CA certificate in the container
If those three variables are provided, self-signed certificate generation and
usage will be disabled. However, it's up to the user to deploy those
certificates and keys within each container.

`Home <index.html>`__ OpenStack Ansible Installation Guide
Securing services with SSL certificates
---------------------------------------
Providing secure communication between various services in an OpenStack
deployment is highly recommended in the `OpenStack Security Guide`_.
.. _OpenStack Security Guide: http://docs.openstack.org/security-guide/secure-communication.html
The openstack-ansible project currently offers the ability to configure SSL
certificates for secure communication with the following services:
* HAProxy
* Horizon
* Keystone
* RabbitMQ
For each service, deployers have the option to use self-signed certificates
generated during the deployment process or they can provide SSL certificates,
keys and CA certificates from their own trusted certificate authority. Highly
secured environments should use trusted, user-provided, certificates for as
many services as possible.
All SSL certificate configuration should be done within
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` and not within the playbook
roles themselves.
Self-signed certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Self-signed certificates make it easy to get started quickly and they ensure
data is encrypted in transit, but they don't provide a high level of trust
for highly secure environments. The use of self-signed certificates is
currently the default in openstack-ansible.
Setting self-signed certificate subject data
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The subject data of any self-signed certificate can be changed using
configuration variables. The configuration variable for each service is
``<servicename>_ssl_self_signed_subject``. To change the SSL certificate
subject data for HAProxy, simply make this adjustment in ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
haproxy_ssl_self_signed_subject: "/C=US/ST=Texas/L=San Antonio/O=IT/CN=haproxy.example.com"
For more information about the available fields in the certificate subject,
refer to OpenSSL's documentation on the `req subcommand`_.
.. _req subcommand: https://www.openssl.org/docs/manmaster/apps/req.html
Generating and regenerating self-signed certificates
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Self-signed certificates for each service are generated during the first run
of the playbook. Subsequent runs of the playbook **will not** generate new SSL
certificates unless the user sets ``<servicename>_ssl_self_signed_regen`` to
``true``.
To force a self-signed certificate to regenerate you can pass the variable to
``openstack-ansible`` on the command line:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible -e "horizon_ssl_self_signed_regen=true" os-horizon-install.yml
To force a self-signed certificate to regenerate **with every playbook run**,
simply set the appropriate regeneration option to ``true``. For example, if
you've already run the ``os-horizon`` playbook, but you want to regenerate the
self-signed certificate, set the ``horizon_ssl_self_signed_regen`` variable to
``true`` in ``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``:
.. code-block:: yaml
horizon_ssl_self_signed_regen: true
Note that regenerating self-signed certificates will replace the existing
certificates whether they are self-signed or user-provided.
User-provided certificates
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Deployers can provide their own SSL certificates, keys, and CA certificates
for added trust in highly secure environments. Acquiring certificates from a
trusted certificate authority is outside the scope of this document, but `The
Linux Documentation Project`_ has a section called `Certificate Management`_
that explains to create your own certificate authority and sign certificates.
.. _The Linux Documentation Project: http://www.tldp.org/
.. _Certificate Management: http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/SSL-Certificates-HOWTO/c118.html
Deploying user-provided SSL certificates is a three step process:
#. Copy your SSL certificate, key, and CA certificate to the *deployment host*
#. Specify the path to your SSL certificate, key and CA certificate in
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml``
#. Run the playbook for that service
As an example, if you wanted to deploy user-provided certificates for RabbitMQ,
start by copying those certificates to the deployment host. Then, edit
``/etc/openstack_deploy/user_variables.yml`` and set the following three
variables:
.. code-block:: yaml
rabbitmq_user_ssl_cert: /tmp/example.com.crt
rabbitmq_user_ssl_key: /tmp/example.com.key
rabbitmq_user_ssl_ca_cert: /tmp/ExampleCA.crt
Simply run the playbook to apply the certificates:
.. code-block:: bash
openstack-ansible rabbitmq-install.yml
The playbook will deploy your user-provided SSL certificate, key, and CA
certificate to each RabbitMQ container.
The process is identical with other services as well. Simply replace
``rabbitmq`` in the configuration variables shown above with ``horizon``,
``haproxy``, or ``keystone``, to deploy user-provided certificates to those
services.
