Manage sudo configuration via Puppet

Usage

WARNING

This module will purge your current sudo config

If this is not what you're expecting, set purge and/or config_file_replace to false

Install sudo with default sudoers

Purge current sudo config

    class { 'sudo': }

Purge sudoers.d directory, but leave sudoers file as it is

    class { 'sudo':
      config_file_replace => false,
    }

Leave current sudo config as it is

    class { 'sudo':
      purge               => false,
      config_file_replace => false,
    }

Adding sudoers configuration

Using Code

    class { 'sudo': }
    sudo::conf { 'web':
      source => 'puppet:///files/etc/sudoers.d/web',
    }
    sudo::conf { 'admins':
      priority => 10,
      content  => "%admins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL",
    }
    sudo::conf { 'joe':
      priority => 60,
      source   => 'puppet:///files/etc/sudoers.d/users/joe',
    }

Using Hiera

A hiera hash may be used to assemble the sudoers configuration. Hash merging is also enabled, which supports layering the configuration settings.

Examples using:

• YAML backend
• an environment called production
• a /etc/puppet/hiera.yaml hierarchy configuration:

:hierarchy:
  - "%{environment}"
  - "defaults"

Load module

Using Puppet version 3+

Load the module via Puppet Code or your ENC.

    include sudo

Using Puppet version 2.7+

After Installing Hiera:

• Load the sudo and sudo::configs modules via Puppet Code or your ENC.

    include sudo
    include sudo::configs

Configure Hiera YAML (defaults.yaml)

These defaults will apply to all systems.

sudo::configs:
    'web':
        'source'    : 'puppet:///files/etc/sudoers.d/web'
    'admins':
        'content'   : "%admins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL"
        'priority'  : 10
    'joe':
        'priority'  : 60
        'source'    : 'puppet:///files/etc/sudoers.d/users/joe'

Configure Hiera YAML (production.yaml)

This will only apply to the production environment. In this example we are:

• inheriting/preserving the web configuration
• overriding the admins configuration
• removing the joe configuration

sudo::configs:
    'admins':
        'content'   : "%prodadmins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL"
        'priority'  : 10
    'joe':
        'ensure'    : 'absent'
        'source'    : 'puppet:///files/etc/sudoers.d/users/joe'

If you have Hiera version >= 1.2.0 and enable Hiera Deeper Merging you may conditionally override any setting.

In this example we are:

• inheriting/preserving the web configuration
• overriding the admins:content setting
• inheriting/preserving the admins:priority setting
• inheriting/preserving the joe:source and joe:priority settings
• removing the joe configuration

sudo::configs:
    'admins':
        'content'   : "%prodadmins ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL"
    'joe':
        'ensure'    : 'absent'

Set a custom name for the sudoers file

In some edge cases, the automatically generated sudoers file name is insufficient. For example, when an application generates a sudoers file with a fixed file name, using this class with the purge option enabled will always delete the custom file and adding it manually will generate a file with the right content, but the wrong name. To solve this, you can use the sudo_file_name option to manually set the desired file name.

sudo::conf { "foreman-proxy":
	ensure          => "present",
	source          => "puppet:///modules/sudo/foreman-proxy",
	sudo_file_name  => "foreman-proxy",
}

sudo::conf / sudo::configs notes

• You can pass template() through content parameter.
• One of content or source must be set.
