TLS support for services

Public TLS

If you’re adding a REST service to TripleO, chances are that you’ll need your service to be terminated by HAProxy. Unfortunately, adding your service to HAProxy needs extra changes to existing modules. Fortunately, it’s not that hard to do.

You can add your service to be terminated by HAproxy by modifying the manifests/haproxy.pp file.

First off, we need a flag to tell the HAProxy module to write the frontend for your service in the HAProxy configuration file if your service is deployed. For this, we will add a parameter for the manifest. If you have followed the walk-through, you may have noticed that the tripleo-heat-templates yaml template requires you to set a name for your service in the role_data output:

...
outputs:
  role_data:
    description: Description of your service
    value:
      service_name: my_service
...

The overcloud stack generated from the tripleo-heat-templates will use this name and automatically generate several hieradata entries that are quite useful. One of this entries is a global flag that can tell if your service is enabled at all or not. So we’ll use this flag and fetch it from hiera to set the parameter we need in haproxy.pp:

...
$keystone_admin              = hiera('keystone_enabled', false),
$keystone_public             = hiera('keystone_enabled', false),
$neutron                     = hiera('neutron_api_enabled', false),
$cinder                      = hiera('cinder_api_enabled', false),
$glance_api                  = hiera('glance_api_enabled', false),
...
$my_service                  = hiera('my_service_enabled', false),
...

Note that the name of the hiera key matches the following format “<service name>_enabled” and defaults to false.

Next, you need to add a parameter that tells HAProxy which network your service is listening on:

...
$barbican_network            = hiera('barbican_api_network', false),
$ceilometer_network          = hiera('ceilometer_api_network', undef),
$cinder_network              = hiera('cinder_api_network', undef),
$glance_api_network          = hiera('glance_api_network', undef),
$heat_api_network            = hiera('heat_api_network', undef),
...
$my_service_network          = hiera('my_service_network', undef),
...

Tripleo-heat-templates will also autogenerate this key for you. However for it to do this, you need to specify the network for your service in the templates. The file where this needs to be set is network/service_net_map.j2.yaml, and you’ll be looking for a parameter called ServiceNetMapDefaults. It will look like this:

# Note that the key in this map must match the service_name
# see the description above about conversion from CamelCase to
# snake_case - the names must still match when converted
ServiceNetMapDefaults:
  default:
    # Note the values in this map are replaced by *NetName
    # to allow for sane defaults when the network names are
    # overridden.
    ...
    NeutronTenantNetwork: tenant
    CeilometerApiNetwork: internal_api
    BarbicanApiNetwork: internal_api
    CinderApiNetwork: internal_api
    GlanceApiNetwork: storage
    ...
    MyServiceNetwork: <some network>

Now, having added this, you’ll have access to the aforementioned hiera key and several others.

Note that the network is used by HAProxy to terminate TLS for your service. This is used when Internal TLS is enabled and you’ll learn more about it in the Internal TLS section.

Then, you need to add the ports that HAProxy will listen on. There is a list with the defaults which is called default_service_ports, and you need to add your service here:

$default_service_ports = {
  ...
  neutron_api_port => 9696,
  neutron_api_ssl_port => 13696,
  nova_api_port => 8774,
  nova_api_ssl_port => 13774,
  nova_placement_port => 8778,
  nova_placement_ssl_port => 13778,
  nova_metadata_port => 8775,
  nova_novnc_port => 6080,
  nova_novnc_ssl_port => 13080,
  ...
  my_service_port => 5123,
  my_service_ssl_port => 13123,
  ...
}

You are specifying two ports here, one that is the standard port, and another one that is used for SSL in the public VIP/host. This was done initially to address deployments without network isolation. In these cases, deploying TLS would effectively take over the other interfaces, so HAProxy would be listening with TLS everywhere accidentally if only using one port, and further configuration for the services would need to happen to address this. However, this is not really an issue in network isolated deployments, since they would be using different IP addresses. So this extra port might not be needed in the future if network isolation becomes the standard mode of deploying.

Note

The SSL port is not needed if your service is only internal and doesn’t listen on the public VIP.

Note

These ports can be overwritten by using the $service_ports parameter from this manifest. Once could pass it via hieradata through the ExtraConfig tripleo-heat-templates parameter, and setting something like this as the value:

tripleo::haproxy::service_ports:
  my_service_ssl_port: 5123
  my_service_2_ssl_port: 5124

Please consider that this will overwrite any entry from the list of defaults, so you have to be careful to update all the relevant entries in tripleo-heat-templates if you want to change port (be it SSL port or non-SSL port).

Finally, you need to add the actual endpoint to HAproxy which will configure the listen directive (or frontend and backend) in the haproxy configuration. For this, we have a helper class called ::tripleo::haproxy::endpoint that sets the relevant bits for you. All we need to do is pass in all the information that class needs. And we need to make sure that this only happens if the service is enabled, so we’ll enclose it with the flag we mentioned above. So here’s a code snippet that demonstrates what you need to add:

if $my_service {
  ::tripleo::haproxy::endpoint { 'my_service':
    public_virtual_ip => $public_virtual_ip,
    internal_ip       => hiera('my_service_vip', $controller_virtual_ip),
    service_port      => $ports[my_service_port],
    ip_addresses      => hiera('my_service_node_ips', $controller_hosts_real),
    server_names      => hiera('my_service_node_names', $controller_hosts_names_real),
    mode              => 'http',
    listen_options    => {
        'http-request' => [
          'set-header X-Forwarded-Proto https if { ssl_fc }',
          'set-header X-Forwarded-Proto http if !{ ssl_fc }'],
    },
    public_ssl_port   => $ports[my_service_ssl_port],
    service_network   => $my_service_network,
  }
}
  • The public_virtual_ip variable contains the public IP address that’s used for your cloud, and it’s the one that people will usually have access to externally.

  • The hiera keys my_service_node_ips, my_service_vip, my_service_node_names are automatically generated by tripleo-heat-templates. These are other keys that you’ll get access to once you add the network for your service in ServiceNetMapDefaults.

  • my_service_vip is, as mentioned, automatically generated, and will point HAProxy to the non-public VIP where other services will be able to access your service. This will usually be the Internal API network, but it depends on your use-case.

  • my_service_node_ips is, as mentioned, automatically generated, and will tell HAProxy which nodes are hosting your service, so it will point to them. The address depends on the network your service is listening on.

  • my_service_node_names is, as mentioned, automatically generated, and will be the names that HAProxy will use for the nodes. These are the FQDNs of the nodes that are hosting your service.

  • This example is an HTTP service, so note that we set the mode to http, and that we set the option for HAProxy to detect if TLS was used for the request, and set an appropriate value for the X-Forwarded-Proto HTTP header if that’s the case. Not all services can read this HTTP header, so this depends on your service. For more information on the available options and the mode, consult the haproxy documentation.

Note

If your service is only internal and doesn’t listen on the public VIP, you don’t need all of the parameters listed above, and you would instead do something like this:

if $my_service {
  ::tripleo::haproxy::endpoint { 'my_service':
    internal_ip     => hiera('my_service_vip', $controller_virtual_ip),
    service_port    => $ports[my_service_port],
    ip_addresses    => hiera('my_service_node_ips', $controller_hosts_real),
    server_names    => hiera('my_service_node_names', $controller_hosts_names_real),
    service_network => $my_service_network,
  }
}

The most relevant bits are that we omitted the SSL port and the public_virtual_ip, since these won’t be used.

Having added this to the manifest, you should be covered for both getting your service to be proxied by HAProxy, and letting it to TLS in the public interface for you.

Internal TLS

How it works

If you haven’t read the section TLS Everywhere it is highly recommended you read that first before continuing.

As mentioned, the default CA is FreeIPA, which issues the certificates that the nodes request, and they do the requests via certmonger.

FreeIPA needs to have the nodes registered in its database and those nodes need to be enrolled in order to authenticate to the CA. This is already being handled for us, so there’s nothing you need to do for your service on this side.

In order to issue certificates, FreeIPA also needs to have registered a Kerberos principal for the service (or service principal). This way it knows what service is using what certificate. The service principal will look something like this:

<service name>/<host>.<domain>

We assume that the domain matches the kerberos realm, so specifying it is redundant.

Fortunately, one doesn’t need to do much but fill in some boilerplate code in tripleo-heat-templates to get this service principal. And this will be covered in subsequent sections.

So, with this one can finally request certificates for the service and use them.

Enabling internal TLS for your service

Aside from the actual certificate request, if your service is a RESTful service, getting TLS to work with the current solution requires usually two fronts:

  • To get your service to actually serve with TLS.

  • To tell HAProxy to try to access your service using TLS.

This can be different for other types of services. For instance, at the time of writing this, RabbitMQ isn’t proxied by HAProxy, so there wasn’t a need to configure anything in HAProxy. Another example is MariaDB: Even though it is proxied by HAProxy, TLS is handled on the MariaDB side and HAProxy doesn’t do TLS termination, so there was no need to configure HAProxy.

Also, for services in general, there are two options for the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) for the certificate:

  1. It should be a hostname that points to a specific interface in the node.

  2. It should be a hostname that points to a VIP (or a Virtual IP Address).

The usual case for a RESTful service will be the first option. HAProxy will do TLS termination, listening on the cloud’s VIPs, and will then forward the request to your service trying to access it via the node’s internal network interface (not the VIP). So for this case (#1), your service should be serving a TLS certificate with the nodes’ interface as the SAN. RabbitMQ has a similar situation even if it’s not proxied by HAProxy. Services try to access the RabbitMQ cluster through the individual nodes, so each broker server has a certificate with the node’s hostname for a specific network interface as the SAN. On the other hand, MariaDB follows the SAN pattern #2. It’s terminated by HAProxy, so the services access it through a VIP. However, MariaDB handles TLS by itself, so it ultimately serves certificates with the hostname pointing to a VIP interface as the SAN. This way, the hostname validation works as expected.

If you’re not sure how to go forward with your service, consult the TripleO team.

Services that run over httpd

Good news! Certificates are already requested for you and there is a hash where you can fetch the path to the certificates and use them for your service.

In puppet-tripleo you need to go to the manifest that deploys the API for your service. Here, you will add the following parameters to the class:

class tripleo::profile::base::my_service::api (
  ...
  $my_service_network  = hiera('my_service_network', undef),
  $certificates_specs  = hiera('apache_certificates_specs', {}),
  $enable_internal_tls = hiera('enable_internal_tls', false),
  ...
) {
  • my_service_network is a hiera key that’s already generated by tripleo-heat-templates and it references the name of the network your service is listening on. This was referenced in the Public TLS section. Where it mentioned the addition of your service’s network to the ServiceNetMapDefaults parameter. So, if this was done, you’ll get this key autogenerated.

  • apache_certificates_specs is a hash containing the specifications for all the certificates requested for services running over httpd. These are network-dependant, which is why we needed the network name. Note that this also contains the paths where the keys are located in the filesystem.

  • enable_internal_tls is a flag that tells TripleO if TLS for the internal network is enabled. We should base the usage of the certificates for your service on this.

In order to get the certificate and key for your application you can use the following boilerplate code:

if $enable_internal_tls {
  if !$my_service_network {
    fail('my_service_network is not set in the hieradata.')
  }
  $tls_certfile = $certificates_specs["httpd-${my_service_network}"]['service_certificate']
  $tls_keyfile = $certificates_specs["httpd-${my_service_network}"]['service_key']
} else {
  $tls_certfile = undef
  $tls_keyfile = undef
}

If internal TLS is not enabled, we set the variables for the certificate and key to undef, this way TLS won’t be enabled. If it’s enabled, we get the certificate and key from the hash.

Now, having done this, we can pass in the variables to the class that deploys your service over httpd:

class { '::my_service::wsgi::apache':
  ssl_cert => $tls_certfile,
  ssl_key  => $tls_keyfile,
}

Now, in tripleo-heat-templates, hopefully the template for your service’s API already uses the base profile for apache services. To verify this, you need to look in the resources section of your template for something like this:

ApacheServiceBase:
  type: ./apache.yaml
  properties:
    ServiceNetMap: {get_param: ServiceNetMap}
    EndpointMap: {get_param: EndpointMap}

Note that this is of type ./apache.yaml which is the template that contains the common configurations for httpd based services.

You will also need to make sure that the ssl hieradata is set correctly. You will find it usually like this:

my_service::wsgi::apache::ssl: {get_param: EnableInternalTLS}

Where, EnableInternalTLS should be defined in the parameters section of the template.

Finally, you also need to add the metadata_settings to the output of the template. This section will be in the same level as config_settings and step_config, and will contain the following:

metadata_settings:
  get_attr: [ApacheServiceBase, role_data, metadata_settings]

Note that it merely outputs the metadata_settings section that the apache base stack already outputs. This will give the appropriate parameters to a hook that sets the nova metadata, which in turn will be taken by the novajoin service generate the service principals for httpd for the host.

See the TLS Everywhere Deploy Guide

Configuring HAProxy to use TLS for your service

Now that your service will be serving with TLS enabled, we go back to the manifests/haproxy.pp file. You already have added the HAProxy endpoint resource for your service, so for this, you need to add now the option to tell it to use TLS to communicate with the server backend nodes. This is done by adding this:

if $my_service {
  ::tripleo::haproxy::endpoint { 'my_service':
    ...
    member_options    => union($haproxy_member_options, $internal_tls_member_options),
  }
}

This adds the TLS options to the default member options we use in TripleO for HAProxy. It will tell HAProxy to require TLS for your service if internal TLS is enabled; if it’s not enabled, then it won’t use TLS.

This was all the extra configuration you needed to do for HAProxy.

Internal TLS for services that don’t run over httpd

If your service supports being run with TLS enabled, and it’s not python/eventlet-based (see Internal TLS via a TLS-proxy). This section is for you.

In tripleo-heat-templates we’ll need to specify the specs for doing the certificate request, and we’ll need to get the appropriate information to generate a service principal. To make this optional, you should add the following to your service’s base template:

parameters:
  ...
  EnableInternalTLS:
    type: boolean
    default: false

conditions:

  internal_tls_enabled: {equals: [{get_param: EnableInternalTLS}, true]}
  ...
...
  • EnableInternalTLS is a parameter that’s passed via parameter_defaults which tells the templates that we want to use TLS in the internal network.

  • internal_tls_enabled is a condition that we’ll furtherly use to add the relevant bits to the output.

The next thing to do is to add the certificate specs, the relevant hieradata and the required metadata to the output. In the roles_data output, lets modify the config_settings to add what we need:

config_settings:
  map_merge:
    -
      # The regular hieradata for your service goes here.
      ...
    -
      if:
      - internal_tls_enabled
      - generate_service_certificates: true
        my_service_certificate_specs:
          service_certificate: '/etc/pki/tls/certs/my_service.crt'
          service_key: '/etc/pki/tls/private/my_service.key'
          hostname:
            str_replace:
              template: "%{hiera('fqdn_NETWORK')}"
              params:
                NETWORK: {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
          principal:
            str_replace:
              template: "my_service/%{hiera('fqdn_NETWORK')}"
              params:
                NETWORK: {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
      - {}
...
metadata_settings:
  if:
    - internal_tls_enabled
    -
      - service: my_service
        network: {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
        type: node
    - null
  • The conditional mentioned above is used in the config_settings. So, if internal_tls_enabled evaluates to true, the hieradata necessary to enable TLS in the internal network for your service will be added. Else, we output {}, which won’t affect the map_merge and won’t add anything to the regular hieradata for your service.

  • For this case, we are only requesting one certificate for the service.

  • The service will be terminated by HAProxy in a conventional way, which means that the SAN will be case #1 as described in Enabling internal TLS for your service. So the SAN will point to the specific node’s network interface, and not the VIP.

  • The ServiceNetMap contains the references to the networks every service is listening on, and the key to get the network is the name of your service but using camelCase instead of underscores. This value is the name of the network and if used under the config_settings section, it will be replaced by the actual IP. Else, it will just be the network name.

  • tripleo-heat-templates automatically generates hieradata that contains the different network-dependant hostnames. They keys are in the following format:

    fqdn_<network name>
    
  • The my_service_certificate_specs key will contain the specifications for the certificate we’ll request. They need to follow some conventions:

    • service_certificate will specify the path to the certificate file. It should be an absolute path.

    • service_key will specify the path to the private key file that will be used for the certificate. It should be an absolute path.

    • hostname is the name that will be used both in the Common Name (CN) and the Subject Alternative Name (SAN) of the certificate. We can get this value by using the hiera key described above. So we first get the name of the network the service is listening on from the ServiceNetMap and we then use str_replace to place that in a hiera call in the appropriate format.

    • principal is the service principal that will be the one used for the certificate request. We can get this in a similar manner as we got the hostname, and prepending an identifying name for your service. The format will be as follows:

      < service identifier >/< network-based hostname >
      
    • These are the names used by convention, and will eventually be passed to the certmonger_certificate resource from puppet-certmonger.

  • The metadata_settings section will pass some information to a metadata hook that will create the service principal before the certificate request is done. The format as follows:

    • service: This contains the service identifier to be used in the kerberos service principal. It should match the identifier you put in the principal section of the certificate specs.

    • network: Tells the hook what network to use for the service. This will be used for the hook and novajoin to use an appropriate hostname for the kerberos principal.

    • type: Will tell the hook what type of case is this service. The available options are node and vip. These are the cases mentioned in the Enabling internal TLS for your service for the SANs.

    Note that this is a list, which can be useful if we’ll be creating several service principals (which is not the case for our example). Also, if internal_tls_enabled evaluates to false, we then output null.

  • Remember to set any relevant flags or parameters that your service might need as hieradata in config_settings. These might be things that explicitly enable TLS such as flags or paths. But these details depend on the puppet module that deploys your service.

Note

VIP-based hostname case

If your service requires the certificate to contain a VIP-based hostname, as is the case for MariaDB. It would instead look like the following:

metadata_settings:
  if:
    - internal_tls_enabled
    -
      - service: my_service
        network: {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
        type: vip
    - null
  • One can get the hostname for the VIP in a similar fashion as we got the hostname for the node. The VIP hostnames are also network based, and one can get them from a hiera key as well. It has the following format:

    cloud_name_< network name >
    
  • The type in the metadata_settings entry is vip.

In puppet-tripleo We’ll create a class that does the actual certificate request and add it to the resource that gets the certificates for all the services.

Lets create a class to do the request:

class tripleo::certmonger::my_service (
  $hostname,
  $service_certificate,
  $service_key,
  $certmonger_ca = hiera('certmonger_ca', 'local'),
  $principal     = undef,
) {
  include ::my_service::params

  $postsave_cmd  = "systemctl restart ${::my_service::params::service_name}"
  certmonger_certificate { 'my_service' :
    ensure       => 'present',
    certfile     => $service_certificate,
    keyfile      => $service_key,
    hostname     => $hostname,
    dnsname      => $hostname,
    principal    => $principal,
    postsave_cmd => $postsave_cmd,
    ca           => $certmonger_ca,
    wait         => true,
    require      => Class['::certmonger'],
  }

  file { $service_certificate :
    owner   => $::my_service::params::user,
    group   => $::my_service::params::group,
    require => Certmonger_certificate['my_service'],
  }
  file { $service_key :
    owner   => $::my_service::params::user,
    group   => $::my_service::params::group,
    require => Certmonger_certificate['my_service'],
  }

  File[$service_certificate] ~> Service<| title == $::my_service::params::service_name |>
  File[$service_key] ~> Service<| title == $::my_service::params::service_name |>
}
  • You’ll note that the parameters mostly match the certificate specs that we created before in tripleo-heat-templates.

  • By convention, we’ll add this class in the manifests/certmonger folder.

  • certmonger_ca is a value that comes from tripleo-heat-templates and tells certmonger which CA to use.

  • If it’s available, by convention, many puppet modules contain a manifest called params. This usually contains the name and group that the service runs with, as well as the name of the service in a specific distribution. So we include this.

  • We do then the actual certificate request by using the certmonger_certificate provider and passing all the relevant data for the request.

    • The post-save command which is specified via the postsave_cmd is a command that will be ran after the certificate is saved. This is useful for when certmonger has to resubmit the request to get an updated certificate, since this way we can reload or restart the service so it can serve the new certificate.

  • Using the file resource from puppet, we set the appropriate user and group for the certificate and keys. Fortunately, certmonger has sane defaults for the file modes, so we didn’t set those here.

Having this class, we now need to add to the certmonger_user resource. This resource is in charge of making all the certificate requests and should be available on all roles (or at least it should be added). You would add the certificate specs as a parameter to this class:

class tripleo::profile::base::certmonger_user (
  ...
  $my_service_certificate_specs = hiera('my_service_certificate_specs', {}),
  ...
) {

And finally, we call the class that does the request:

...
unless empty($my_service_certificate_specs) {
  ensure_resource('class', 'tripleo::certmonger::my_service', $my_service_certificate_specs)
}
...

Note

It is also possible to do several requests for your service. See the certmonger_user source code for examples.

Finally, you can do the same steps described in configuring-haproxy-internal-tls to make HAProxy connect to your service using TLS.

Internal TLS via a TLS-proxy

If you have a RESTful service that runs over python (most likely using eventlet) or if your service requires a TLS proxy in order to have TLS in the internal network, there are extra steps to be done.

For python-based services, due to performance issues with eventlet, the best thing you can do is try to move your service to run over httpd, and let it handle crypto instead. Then you’ll be able to follow the instructions from the Services that run over httpd section above. If for any reason this can’t be done at the moment, we could still use httpd to service as a TLS proxy in the node. It would then listen on the service’s port and forward all the requests to the service, which would then be listening on localhost.

In puppet-tripleo you need to go to the manifest that deploys the API for your service, and add the following parameters:

class tripleo::profile::base::my_service::api (
  ...
  $certificates_specs  = hiera('apache_certificates_specs', {}),
  $enable_internal_tls = hiera('enable_internal_tls', false),
  $my_service_network  = hiera('my_service_api_network', undef),
  $tls_proxy_bind_ip   = undef,
  $tls_proxy_fqdn      = undef,
  $tls_proxy_port      = 5123,
  ...
) {
...
  • certificates_specs, enable_internal_tls and my_service_network have already been mentioned in the Services that run over httpd section.

  • tls_proxy_bind_ip, tls_proxy_fqdn and tls_proxy_port are parameters that will be used by the httpd-based TLS proxy. They will tell it where what IP to listen on, the FQDN (which will be used as the servername) and the port it will use. Usually the port will match your service’s port. These values are expected to be set from tripleo-heat-templates.

Next comes the code for the actual proxy:

...
if $enable_internal_tls {
  if !$my_service_network {
    fail('my_service_network is not set in the hieradata.')
  }
  $tls_certfile = $certificates_specs["httpd-${my_service_network}"]['service_certificate']
  $tls_keyfile = $certificates_specs["httpd-${my_service_network}"]['service_key']

  ::tripleo::tls_proxy { 'my_service_proxy':
    servername => $tls_proxy_fqdn,
    ip         => $tls_proxy_bind_ip,
    port       => $tls_proxy_port,
    tls_cert   => $tls_certfile,
    tls_key    => $tls_keyfile,
    notify     => Class['::my_service::api'],
  }
}
...
  • The ::tripleo::tls_proxy is the resource that will configure the TLS proxy for your service. As you can see, it receives the certificates that come from the certificates_specs which contain the specification for the certificates, including the paths for the keys.

  • The notify is added here since we want the proxy to be set before the service.

In tripleo-heat-templates, you should modify your service’s template and add the following:

parameters:
...
  EnableInternalTLS:
    type: boolean
    default: false
...
conditions:
  ...
  use_tls_proxy: {equals : [{get_param: EnableInternalTLS}, true]}
...
resources:
...
  TLSProxyBase:
    type: OS::TripleO::Services::TLSProxyBase
    properties:
      ServiceNetMap: {get_param: ServiceNetMap}
      EndpointMap: {get_param: EndpointMap}
      EnableInternalTLS: {get_param: EnableInternalTLS}
  • EnableInternalTLS is a parameter that’s passed via parameter_defaults which tells the templates that we want to use TLS in the internal network.

  • use_tls_proxy is a condition that we’ll use to modify the behaviour of the template depending on whether TLS in the internal network is enabled or not.

  • TLSProxyBase will make the default values from the proxy’s template available to where our service is deployed. We should make sure that we combine our service’s hieradata with the hieradata coming from that resource by doing a map_merge with the config_settings:

    ...
    config_settings:
      map_merge:
        - get_attr: [TLSProxyBase, role_data, config_settings]
        - # Here goes our service's metadata
          ...
    

So, with this, we can tell the service to bind on localhost instead of the default interface depending if TLS in the internal network is enabled or not. Lets now set the hieradata that the puppet module needs in our service’s hieradata, which is in the config_settings section:

tripleo::profile::base::my_service::api::tls_proxy_bind_ip:
  get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]
tripleo::profile::base::my_service::api::tls_proxy_fqdn:
  str_replace:
    template:
      "%{hiera('fqdn_$NETWORK')}"
    params:
      $NETWORK: {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
tripleo::profile::base::my_service::api::tls_proxy_port:
  get_param: [EndpointMap, NeutronInternal, port]
my_service::bind_host:
  if:
  - use_tls_proxy
  - 'localhost'
  - {get_param: [ServiceNetMap, MyServiceNetwork]}
  • The ServiceNetMap contains the references to the networks every service is listening on, and the key to get the network is the name of your service but using camelCase instead of underscores. This value will be automatically replaced by the actual IP.

  • tripleo-heat-templates generates automatically hieradata that contains the different network-dependant hostnames. They keys are in the following format:

    fqdn_<network name>
    

    So, to get it, we get the network name from the ServiceNetMap, and do a str_replace in heat that will use that network name and add it to a hiera call that will then gets us the FQDN we need.

  • The port we can easily get from the EndpointMap.

  • The conditional uses the actual IP if there’s no TLS in the internal network enabled and localhost if it is.

Finally, we add the metadata_settings section to make sure we get a kerberos service principal:

metadata_settings:
  get_attr: [TLSProxyBase, role_data, metadata_settings]
