OpenSSL Puppet Module

This module manages OpenSSL.

Types and providers

This module provides three types and associated providers to manage SSL keys and certificates.

ssl_pkey

This type allows to generate SSL private keys.

Simple usage:

ssl_pkey { '/path/to/private.key': }

Advanced options:

ssl_pkey { '/path/to/private.key':
  ensure   => 'present',
  password => 'j(D$',
}

x509_cert

This type allows to generate SSL certificates from a private key. You need to deploy a template file (templates/cert.cnf.erb is an example).

Simple usage:

x509_cert { '/path/to/certificate.crt': }

Advanced options:

x509_cert { '/path/to/certificate.crt':
  ensure      => 'present',
  password    => 'j(D$',
  template    => '/other/path/to/template.cnf',
  private_key => '/there/is/my/private.key',
  days        => 4536,
  force       => false,
}

x509_request

This type allows to generate SSL certificate signing requests from a private key. You need to deploy a template file (templates/cert.cnf.erb is an example).

Simple usage:

x509_request { '/path/to/request.csr': }

Advanced options:

x509_request { '/path/to/request.csr':
  ensure      => 'present',
  password    => 'j(D$',
  template    => '/other/path/to/template.cnf',
  private_key => '/there/is/my/private.key',
  force       => false,
}

Definitions

openssl::certificate::x509

This definition is a wrapper around the ssl_pkey, x509_cert and x509_request types. It generates a certificate template, then generates the private key, certificate and certificate signing request and sets the owner of the files.

Simple usage:

openssl::certificate::x509 { 'foo':
  country      => 'CH',
  organization => 'Example.com',
  commonname   => $fqdn,
}

Advanced options:

openssl::certificate::x509 { 'foo':
  ensure       => present,
  country      => 'CH',
  organization => 'Example.com',
  commonname   => $fqdn,
  state        => 'Here',
  locality     => 'Myplace',
  unit         => 'MyUnit',
  altnames     => ['a.com', 'b.com', 'c.com'],
  email        => 'contact@foo.com',
  days         => 3456,
  base_dir     => '/var/www/ssl',
  owner        => 'www-data',
  password     => 'j(D$',
  force        => false,
}

openssl::export::pkcs12

This definition generates a pkcs12 file:

openssl::export::pkcs12 { 'foo':
  ensure    => 'present',
  basedir   => '/path/to/dir',
  pkey      => '/here/is/my/private.key',
  cert      => '/there/is/the/cert.crt',
  pkey_pass => 'mypassword',
}
