LDAP Server
 
-----------
 

	
 
The ``ldap_server`` role can be used for setting-up an OpenLDAP server on
 
destination machine.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Deploys LDAP TLS private key and certificate.
 
* Installs OpenLDAP server (package ``slapd``).
 
* Configures OpenLDAP server (base DN - domain, organisation, TLS, SSF, log levels).
 
* Sets-up separate log file for OpenLDAP server at ``/var/log/slapd.log`` (with
 
  log rotation included).
 
* Enables the ``memberof`` overlay on top of default database. The overlay is
 
  configured to keep track of membership changes for object class
 
  ``groupOfUniqueNames`` via attribute ``uniqueMember``. Enforcement of
 
  referential integrity is turned on as well (modifications of ``memberof``
 
  attribute will update corresponding group as well.
 
* Configures permissions.
 
* Creates LDAP entries.
 
* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the LDAP server.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 

	
 
**ldap_entries** (list, optional, ``[]``)
 
  List of entries that should be kept in the LDAP directory. Each item is a
 
  dictionary describing a single LDAP entry, with all of its attributes
 
  listed. The keys in this dictionary should be the attribute names. The values
 
  should be either strings, for setting a single attribute value, or a list of
 
  strings if it is necessary to set multiple values for the same attribute.
 

	
 
**ldap_permissions** (list, optional, ``see below``)
 
  List of LDAP access rules to apply to base DN served by the LDAP server. The
 
  listed access control rules will *replace* all existing rules, and will be
 
  added in the same order they are listed in. Each item is a string that
 
  constitutes a single access control rule. The format should be the same as
 
  described in `OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
 
  <http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/access-control.html#Access%20Control%20via%20Dynamic%20Configuration>`.
 

	
 
  Default value is:
 

	
 
  .. code-block:: yaml

  transformed into ``dc=example,dc=com``.
 

	
 
**ldap_server_organization** (string, optional, ``Private``)
 
  Organization that should be specified in the base DN entry.
 

	
 
**ldap_server_log_level** (string, optional, ``256``)
 
  Log level to use for the server. This should be compatible with OpenLDAP
 
  configuration option ``olcLogLevel``. See `OpenLDAP Administrator's Guide
 
  <http://www.openldap.org/doc/admin24/slapdconf2.html#cn=config>` for value
 
  description and syntax.
 

	
 
**ldap_server_tls_certificate** (string, optional, ``{{ tls_certificate_dir }}/FQDN_ldap.pem``)
 
**ldap_server_tls_certificate** (string, optional, ``{{ tls_certificate_dir }}/ansible_facts[host]['fqdn']_ldap.pem``)

Mail Server
 
-----------
 

	
 
The ``mail_server`` role can be used for setting-up a complete mail server
 
solution, which includes both SMTP and IMAP service, on destination machine.
 

	
 
Postfix is used SMTP, while Dovecot is used for IMAP.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Installs rsync.
 
* Deploys IMAP/SMTP TLS private keys and certificates.
 
* Installs and configures Dovecot, Postfix, ClamAV, and ClamAV Milter.
 
* Purges Exim4 configuration (just in case).
 
* Installs SWAKS (utility for testing SMTP servers).
 
* Sets-up the necessary directories and files under Postfix chroot.
 
* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the mail server. This
 
  includes set-up of redirection from TCP port 26 to TCP port 25 (alternate SMTP
 
  to work around common network blocks).
 

	
 
Deployed services are configured as follows:
 

	
 
* Both Postfix and Dovecot look-up available domains, users, and aliases in
 
  LDAP.
 
* Incoming and outgoing mail is scanned with ClamAV (via ClamAV
 
  Milter). Infected mails are rejected.
 
* Mail is stored in directory ``/var/MAIL_USER/DOMAIN/USER``, using ``Maildir``
 
  format.
 
* TLS is required for user log-ins for both SMTP and IMAP.
 
* RBL's are used for combating spam (if any is specified in configuration, see
 
  below).
 

	
 
Both Postfix and Dovecot expect a specific directory structure in LDAP when
 
doing look-ups:
 

	
 
* Postfix will log-in to LDAP as user
 
  ``cn=postfix,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
 
* Dovecot will log-in to LDAP as user
 
  ``cn=dovecot,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
 
* Domain entries need to be available as
 
  ``dc=DOMAIN,ou=domains,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
 
* Alias entries need to be available as
 
  ``cn=ALIAS,ou=aliases,ou=mail,ou=services,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``.
 
* User entries are read from sub-tree (first-level only)
 
  ``ou=people,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN``. Query filter used for finding users is
 
  ``(&(mail=%s)(memberOf=cn=mail,ou=groups,MAIL_LDAP_ROOT_DN))``. This allows
 
  group-based granting of mail services to users.

Mail Forwarder
 
--------------
 

	
 
The ``mail_forwarder`` role can be used for setting-up a local SMTP server for
 
sending out mails and receiving mails for local users. The SMTP server is
 
provided by Postfix.
 

	
 
SMTP service on server set-up this way is not meant to be exposed to the
 
Internet directly, and should receive delivery failures from the relay server
 
instead.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Installs and configures Postfix.
 
* Purges Exim4 configuration (just in case).
 
* Sets-up aliases for the local recipients.
 
* Installs SWAKS (utility for testing SMTP servers).
 

	
 
Postfix is configured as follows:
 

	
 
* Local destinations are set-up.
 
* A relay host is set.
 
* TLS is enforced for relaying mails, with configurable truststore for server
 
  certificate verification.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 

	
 
**local_mail_aliases** (dictionary, optional, ``[]``)
 
  Dictionary defining the local aliases. Aliases defined this way will either be
 
  appended to default aliases on the server, or replace the existing entries (if
 
  the alias/recipient is already present). Keys in the dictionary are the local
 
  recipients/aliases, while the value provided should be a space-separated list
 
  of mail addresses (or local users) where the mails should be forwarded.
 

	
 
**smtp_relay_host** (string, optional, ``None``)
 
  SMTP server via which the mails are sent out for non-local recipients.
 

	
 
**smtp_relay_truststore** (string, optional, ``/etc/ssl/certs/truststore.pem``)

The ``php_website`` role can be used for setting-up a website powered by PHP on
 
destination machine.
 

	
 
This role is normally not supposed to be used directly, but should instead serve
 
as the basis for writing website-specific roles. Therefore the role is written
 
in quite generic way, allowing the integrator to write his/her own logic for
 
deploying the necessary PHP applications, while still reusing a common base and
 
reducing the workload.
 

	
 
The role implements the following:
 

	
 
* Creates a dedicated user/group for running the PHP scripts.
 
* Creates a base directory where the website-specific code and data should be
 
  stored at.
 
* Adds nginx to website's group, so nginx could read the necessary files.
 
* Adds website administrator to website's group, so administrator could manage
 
  the code and data.
 
* Installs additional packages required for running the role (as configured).
 
* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for website vhost).
 
* Configures PHP FPM and nginx to serve the website.
 

	
 
The role is implemented with the following layout/logic in mind:
 

	
 
* Website users are named after the ``FQDN`` (fully qualified domain name) of
 
  website, in format of ``web-ESCAPEDFQDN``, where ``ESCAPEDFQDN`` is equal to
 
  ``FQDN`` where dots have been replaced by underscores (for example,
 
  ``web-cloud_example_com``).
 
* All websites reside within a dedicated sub-directory in ``/var/www``. The
 
  sub-directory name is equal to the ``FQDN`` used for accessing the
 
  website. Owner of the directory is set to be the application administrator,
 
  while group is set to be the website group. Additionally, ``SGID`` bit is set
 
  on the directory. This allows admin, with correct umask, to create necessary
 
  files and directories that should be readable (and eventually writeable) by
 
  the website user (running the PHP scripts) without having to become root.
 
* All files placed in the website directory should be either created there
 
  directly, or copied to the directory in order to make sure the ``SGID`` gets
 
  honored. **Do not move the files, the permissions will not be set correctly.**
 
* Within the website directory, nginx/php5-fpm will expect to find the relevant
 
  files within the htdocs sub-directory (this can be symlink too).
 
* nginx communicates with PHP FPM over a dedicated Unix socket for each website.
 

	
 

	
 
Parameters
 
~~~~~~~~~~
 

	
 
**admin** (string, mandatory)
 
  Name of the operating system user in charge of maintaining the website. This
 
  user is capable of making modifications to website configuration anda data
 
  stored within the website directory.
 

	
 
**deny_files_regex** (list, optional)
 
  List of regular expressions for matching files/locations to which the web
 
  server should deny access. This is useful to block access to any sensitive
 
  files that should not be served directly by the web server. The format must be
 
  compatible with regular expressions used by ``nginx`` for ``location ~``
 
  syntax.
 

	
 
**fqdn** (string, mandatory)
 
  Fully-qualified domain name where the website is reachable. This value is used
 
  for calculating the user/group name for dedicated website user, as well as
 
  home directory of the website user (where data/code should be stored at).
 

	
 
**index** (string, optional)
 
  Space-separated list of files which should be treated as index files by the
 
  web server. The web server will attempt opening these index files, in
 
  succession, until the first match, or until it runs out of matches, when a
 
  client requests an URI pointing to directory. Default is ``index.php``.
 

	
 
**https_tls_certificate** (string, mandatory)
 
  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the X.509 certificate used for TLS
 
  for HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/certs/``.
 

	
 
**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)
