The original reported issue was due to the deprecation and removal of `Chef::Platform.set`. This was fixed by moving to the new provider syntax. Other changes in the Chef cookbooks were performed to address similar changes due to deprecated and removed methods and models as well as to conform to new enforcements. One issue not addressed in this change is to make the Oracle JDK download work, since Java 8u20 is no longer available. This fix was tested with the following override in the Vagrantfile: java: { install_flavor: 'openjdk', jdk_version: 7 } The above change is NOT included in this patch set. Further work would be necessary to update the Oracle download before `vagrant up` will work without this modification. Fix #1123 Signed-off-by: Steve Lewis <steven.lewis@cambiahealth.com> |

openssl Cookbook
This cookbook provides a library method to generate secure random passwords in recipes using the Ruby OpenSSL library.
It also provides an attribute-driven recipe for upgrading OpenSSL packages.
Requirements
The secure_password
works on any platform with OpenSSL Ruby bindings installed, which are a requirement for Chef anyway.
The upgrade recipe works on the following tested platforms:
- Ubuntu 12.04, 14.04
- Debian 7.4
- CentOS 6.5
It may work on other platforms or versions of the above platforms with or without modification.
Chef Sugar was introduced as a dependency to provide helpers that make the default attribute settings (see Attributes) easier to reason about.
Attributes
node['openssl']['packages']
- An array of packages of openssl. The default attributes attempt to be smart about which packages are the default, but this may need to be changed by users of theopenssl::upgrade
recipe.node['openssl']['restart_services']
- An array of service resources that use thenode['openssl']['packages']
. This is empty by default as Chef has no reliably reasonable way to detect which applications or services are compiled against these packages. Note These each need to be "service
" resources specified somewhere in the recipes in the node's run list.
Recipes
upgrade
The upgrade recipe iterates over the list of packages in the node['openssl']['packages']
attribute and manages them with the :upgrade
action. Each package will send :restart
notification to service resources named by the node['openssl']['restart_services']
attribute.
Usage
Most often this will be used to generate a secure password for an attribute. In a recipe:
::Chef::Recipe.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)
node.default_unless[:my_password] = secure_password
To use the openssl::upgrade
recipe, set the attributes as mentioned above. For example, we have a "stats_collector" service that uses openssl. It has a recipe that looks like this:
LWRP
This cookbook includes an LWRP for generating Self Signed Certificates
openssl_x509
generate a pem formatted x509 cert + key
Attributes
common_name
A String representing the CN
ssl field
org
A String representing the O
ssl field
org_unit
A String representing the OU
ssl field
country
A String representing the C
ssl field
expire
A Fixnum reprenting the number of days from now to expire the cert
key_file
Optional A string to the key file to use. If no key is present it will generate and store one.
key_pass
A String that is the key's passphrase
key_length
A Fixnum reprenting your desired Bit Length Default: 2048
owner
The owner of the files Default: "root"
group
The group of the files Default: "root"
mode
The mode to store the files in Default: "0400"
Example usage
openssl_x509 "/tmp/mycert.pem" do
common_name "www.f00bar.com"
org "Foo Bar"
org_unit "Lab"
country "US"
end

node.default['openssl']['restart_services'] = ['stats_collector']
# other recipe code here...
service 'stats_collector' do
action [:enable, :start]
end
include_recipe 'openssl::upgrade'
This will ensure that openssl is upgraded to the latest version so the stats_collector
service won't be exploited (hopefully!).
