Poise-TLS-Remote-File Cookbook

Build Status Gem Version Cookbook Version Coverage Gemnasium License

A Chef cookbook to download files over HTTPS using TLS client certificate authentication or with custom CA certificates.

Quick Start

To download a file using TLS client certificate authentication:

tls_remote_file '/path/to/file' do
  client_cert '/etc/ssl/client.crt'
  client_key '/etc/ssl/private/client.key'
end

To specify a CA certificate for the download:

tls_remote_file '/path/to/file' do
  ca '/etc/ssl/mycompany.crt'
end

Certificates and keys can also be specified in-line as strings or retrieved from other APIs like Chef data bags:

tls_remote_file '/path/to/file' do
  client_cert data_bag_item('client_keys', node.chef_environment)['key']
  ca <<-EOH
-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIFEjCCAvoCAQIwDQYJKoZIhvcNAQEFBQAwRTELMAkGA1UEBhMCQVUxEzARBgNV
...
-----END CERTIFICATE-----
EOH
end

Attributes

  • node['poise-tls-remote-file']['client_cert'] – Default client_cert for all tls_remote_file resources.
  • node['poise-tls-remote-file']['client_key'] – Default client_key for all tls_remote_file resources.
  • node['poise-tls-remote-file']['ca'] – Default ca for all tls_remote_file resources.

Resources

tls_remote_file

The tls_remote_file resource downloads a file using TLS client certificate authentication.

tls_remote_file '/path/to/file' do
  client_cert '/etc/ssl/client.crt'
  client_key '/etc/ssl/private/client.key'
  ca '/etc/ssl/ca.crt'
end

Actions

All actions are the same as the core remote_file resource.

Properties

  • client_cert – Path or PEM encoded TLS certificate to use for the client. Can also be set to a combined certificate and key file.
  • client_key – Path or PEM encoded TLS key to use for the client.
  • ca – Path or PEM encoded TLS certificate to add to the standard Chef trusted CA certificates. Can be passed as an array to add multiple certificates.

All other properties are the same as the core remote_file resource.
