* Authentication is done via LDAP. For setting the LDAP TLS truststore, see

  :ref:`LDAP Client <ldap_client>`.

* Internal storage is used.

* For each domain specified, a dedicated conference/multi-user chat (MUC)

  service is set-up, with FQDN set to ``conference.DOMAIN``.

* For each domain specified, a dedicated file proxy service will be set-up, with

  FQDN set to ``proxy.DOMAIN``.

Parameters

~~~~~~~~~~

**prosody_administrators** (list, mandatory)

  Password used for authenticating to the LDAP server.

**prosody_ldap_filter** (string, mandatory)

  LDAP filter used for obtaining a list of users available on the Prosody

  server. Two special strings can be used for specifying the user and domain,

  ``$user``, and ``$host`` within. These will be replaced with real values in

  the filter every time a user is looked-up.

**prosody_ldap_scope** (string, mandatory)

  Scope for performing the LDAP search for obtaining a list of users available

  on the Prosody server.

**prosody_ldap_tls** (boolean, mandatory)

  Specifies whether to use STARTTLS extension when connecting to the LDAP server

  or not.

**prosody_ldap_base** (string, mandatory)

  Base DN under which the lists of users available on the Prosody should be

  looked-up.

Examples

~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for setting-up XMPP server using Prosody:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  prosody_administrators:

    - john.doe@example.com

  # These are default key and certificate that generated during Prosody

  # installation.

  prosody_tls_key: /etc/prosody/certs/localhost.key

  prosody_tls_certificate: /etc/prosody/certs/localhost.crt

  prosody_domains:

    - example.com

  prosody_ldap_server: ldap.example.com

  prosody_ldap_bind_dn: cn=xmpp,ou=services,dc=example,dc=com

  prosody_ldap_password: xmpp

  # This would require that the memberof overlay is available on LDAP server

  # side.

  prosody_ldap_filter: '(&(memberOf=cn=xmpp,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com)(mail=$user@$host))'

  prosody_ldap_scope: "onelevel"

  prosody_ldap_tls: "true"

  prosody_ldap_base: "ou=people,dc=example,dc=com"

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, mandatory)

  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, mandatory)

  SMTP server via which the mails are sent out for non-local recipients.

**smtp_relay_truststore** (string, mandatory)

  Path to the file containing full X.509 CA certificate chain used for

  validating the server certificate presented by the relay server.

Examples

~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for setting-up the mail forwarder:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  # All mails sent to local user root will be forwarded to external account as

  # well.

  local_mail_aliases:

    root: "root john.doe@example.com"

  smtp_relay_host: mail.example.com

  smtp_relay_truststore: /etc/ssl/certs/example_ca_chain.pem

Web Server

----------

The ``web_server`` role can be used for setting-up a web server on destination

machine.

The role is supposed to be very lightweight, providing a basis for deployment of

web applications.

The role implements the following:

* Installs and configures nginx with a single, default vhost with a small static

  index page.

* Deploys the HTTPS TLS private key and certificate (for default vhost).

* Configures firewall to allow incoming connections to the web server.

* Installs and configures virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper as a common base for

  Python apps.

* Installs and configures PHP FPM as a common base for PHP apps.

Parameters

~~~~~~~~~~

**https_tls_key** (string, mandatory)

  Path to file on Ansible host that contains the private key used for TLS for

  HTTPS service. The file will be copied to directory ``/etc/ssl/private/``.

**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/``.

**web_default_title** (string, mandatory)

  Title for the default web page shown to users (if no other vhosts were matched).

**web_default_message** (string, mandatory)

  Message for the default web page shown to users (if no other vhosts were

  matched).

Examples

~~~~~~~~

Here is an example configuration for setting-up web server:

.. code-block:: yaml

  ---

  https_tls_key: "{{ inventory_dir }}/tls/web.example.com_https.key"

  https_tls_certificate: "{{ inventory_dir }}/tls/web.example.com_https.pem"

  web_default_title: "Welcome to Example Inc."

  web_default_message: "You are attempting to access the web server using a wrong name or an IP address. Please check your URL."

PHP Website

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).

* 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).

**php_rewrite_url** (string, optional)

  If implementing some form of clean URL schema, this parameter can be used for

  defining how the clean URLs should be mapped onto actual PHP scripts. When

  specifying this parameter, one special variable is available - ``$suburi``

  (which is the URI requested by HTTP client, usually in clean URL form). This

  is in addition to any other variables provided out of the box by ``nginx``

  (like ``$args`` and such).

**rewrites** (list, optional)

  A list of rewrite rules that are applied to incoming requests. Each element of

  the list should be a string value compatible with the format of ``nginx``

  option ``rewrite``. The keyword ``rewrite`` itself should be omitted, as well

  as trailing semi-colon (``;``).

**packages** (list, optional)

  A list of additional packages to install for this particular PHP

  appliction. This is usually going to be different PHP extensions.

**uid** (integer, mandatory)

  UID/GID (they are set-up to be the same) of the dedicated website

  user/group.
