The *jenkins-slave* role prepares a host to have the Jenkins slave
agent deployed on it. Deploying the agent itself is done by the Jenkins
master, through the web UI.
The service principal name added to `/etc/krb5.keytab` had a trailing
`}` character because of a typo in the Ansible task. This resulted in
GSSAPI authentication failing because server processes could not find
the host key in the key table.
Since the first pass of `pyrocufflink.yml` always fails to start the
*winbind* service (since the machine is not yet a member of the domain),
a second pass is required to start it. It can't be started as part of
the *winbind* role, though, since it would fail. As such, it has to be
started at the very end of the play.
This commit introduces a new role, *hostname*, that is used by the
`hostname.yml` playbook to set the hostname. It also writes
`/etc/hosts` using a template.
Connection Tracking does not work for DHCP messages, since many are
broadcast. As such, the firewall must explicitly allow datagrams
destined for the DHCP client port.
For internal services, particularly DNS, it is easier to use a ULA
prefix than rely exclusively on routed addresses, since these can change
relatively frequently.
Instead of listing the addresses for DNS and NTP servers again in the
DHCP server configuration, these are now taken from the canonical
definitions in the `dch_networks` variable.
It is occasionally necessary to advertise multiple prefixes on the same
interface, particularly when those prefixes are not on-link. The *radvd*
role thus now expects each item in `radvd_interfaces` list to have a
`prefixes` property, which itself is a list of prefixes to advertise.
Prefixes can specify properties such as `on_link`, `autonomous`,
`preferred_lifetime`, etc.
Marking packets matching port-forwarding rules, and then allowing
traffic carrying that mark did not seem to work well. Often, packets
seemed to get dropped for no apparent reason, and outside connections to
NAT'd services was sometimes slow as a result. Explicitly listing every
destination host/port in the `forward` table seems to resolve this
issue.
The *filter* table is responsible for deciding which packets will be
accepted and which will be rejected. It has three chains, which classify
packets according to whether they are destined for the local machine
(input), passing through this machine (forward) or originating from the
local machine (output).
The *dch-gw* role now configures all three chains in this table. For
now, it defines basic rules, mostly based on TCP/UDP destination port:
* Traffic destined for a service hosted by the local machine (DNS, DHCP,
SSH), is allowed if it does not come from the Internet
* Traffic passing through the machine is allowed if:
* It is passing between internal networks
* It is destined for a host on the FireMon network (VPN)
* It was NATed to in internal host (marked 323)
* It is destined for the Internet
* Only DHCP, HTTP, and DNS are allowed to originate from the local
machine
This configuration requires an `internet_iface` variable, which
indicates the name of the network interface connected to the Internet
directly.
`dhcpcd` needs to start after the `network` service has started, as the
latter creates the interfaces to which the former needs to delegate IPv6
prefixes.
The *nftables* role handles installation and basic configuration of the
userspace components for nftables.
Note that this role currently only works on Fedora, and requires
*nftables* 0.8 or later for wildcard includes.
The *networking* service, which is actually a legacy init script, is
provided by the *initscripts* package on RHEL and its derivatives. This
service needs to be running in order for the configuration generated by
the *rhel-network* role to be applied to the managed node.
The `network.yml` playbook is used to configure the network interfaces
on a managed node. Currently, it only supports the Red Hat configuration
style (i.e. `/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-*` files).
The `dyngroups.yml` playbook groups hosts dynamically based on gathered
facts. Currently, the `ansible_os_family` fact is used to group hosts by
Linux distribution.
The *samba-dc* role now configures `winbindd` on domain controllers to
support identity mapping on the local machine. This will allow domain
users to log into the domain controller itself, e.g. via SSH.
The Fedora packaging of *samba4* still has some warts. Specifically, it
does not have a proper SELinux policy, so some work-arounds need to be
put into place in order for confined processes to communicate with
winbind.
The *samba* role provides general configuration for Samba. Other roles
will provide configuration for specific features such as Active
Directory membership, file shares, etc.
The *system-auth* role deploys PAM configuration for system-wide user
authentication. It is specifically focused on Active Directory
authentication using Samba/Winbind.
The *nsswitch* role can be used to configure the name service switch on
glibc-based distributions, including Gentoo, Fedora, and CentOS. It is
specifically focused on Active Directory authentication via
Samba/Winbind.
Only *master* zones need zone files pre-populated, as the other types of
zones are populated by data named receives from queries and transfers.
Other types of zones require other options, however, to be usable. This
commit introduces minimal support for specifying *slave*, *forward*, and
*stub* zones.
