Required Cookbooks

build-essential

Required Applications

Ruby 1.9.3 or higher.

Attributes

Attribute	Default	Description
`node['encrypted_attributes']['version']`	calculated	chef-encrypted-attributes gem version to install. The latest stable version is installed by default.
`node['encrypted_attributes']['mirror']`	`nil`	chef-encrypted-attributes mirror to download the gem from. For cases where you do not want to use RubyGems.
`node['encrypted_attributes']['data_bag']['name']`	`'global'`	chef-encrypted-attributes user keys, data bag name.
`node['encrypted_attributes']['data_bag']['item']`	`'chef_users'`	chef-encrypted-attributes user keys, data bag item name.
`node['dev_mode']`	calculated	If this is `true`, the `Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers` library will work with unencrypted attributes instead of encrypted attributes. For testing purposes.

Recipes

encrypted_attributes::default

Installs and loads the chef-encrypted-attributes gem.

encrypted_attributes::expose_key

Exposes the Client Public Key in attributes. This is a workaround for the Chef Clients Limitation problem. Should be included by all nodes that need to have read privileges on the attributes.

encrypted_attributes::users_data_bag

Configures chef-encrypted-attributes Chef User keys reading them from a data bag. This is a workaround for the Chef Users Limitation problem.

Helper Libraries

See the Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers documentation.

Usage Examples

Including in a Cookbook Recipe

You can simply include it in a recipe:

include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes'

Don't forget to include the encrypted_attributes cookbook as a dependency in the metadata.

# metadata.rb
[...]

depends 'encrypted_attributes'

Including in the Run List

Another alternative is to include the default recipe in your Run List:

{
  "name": "ftp.onddo.com",
  [...]
  "run_list": [
    [...]
    "recipe[encrypted_attributes]"
  ]
}

encrypted_attributes::default Recipe Usage Example

include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes'

self.class.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password) # include the #secure_password method

if Chef::EncryptedAttribute.exists?(node['myapp']['ftp_password'])
  # update with the new keys
  Chef::EncryptedAttribute.update(node.set['myapp']['ftp_password'])

  # read the password
  ftp_pass = Chef::EncryptedAttribute.load(node['myapp']['ftp_password'])
else
  # create the password and save it
  ftp_pass = secure_password
  node.set['myapp']['ftp_password'] = Chef::EncryptedAttribute.create(ftp_pass)
end

# use `ftp_pass` for something here ...

You can also use the Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers helpers to simplify its use:

include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes'
self.class.send(:include, Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers)

ftp_pass = encrypted_attribute_write(['myapp', 'ftp_password']) do
  self.class.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)
  secure_password
end

Note: This example requires the openssl cookbook.

See the chef-encrypted-attributes gem Usage section for more examples.

encrypted_attributes::users_data_bag Recipe Usage Example

This recipe should be called before using the encrypted attributes. It sets the Chef::Config[:encrypted_attributes][:keys] option reading the keys from a data bag.

Before using this recipe, you must create the required data bag:

$ knife data bag create global_data chef_users

You should create a data bag item with the following format:

{
  "id": "chef_users",
  "bob": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFA...",
  "alice": "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----\nMIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFA..."
}

The keys can be set in array of strings format if you prefer:

{
  "id": "chef_users",
  "bob": [
    "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----",
    "MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFA...",
    ...
  ],
  "alice": [
    "-----BEGIN PUBLIC KEY-----",
    "MIIBIjANBgkqhkiG9w0BAQEFA...",
    ...
  ]
}

You can retrieve user public keys with knife user show USER -a public_key -f json.

Then, you can use this data bag to configure the Chef::Config[:encrypted_attributes][:keys] chef-encrypted-attributes configuration only by calling the recipe:

node.default['encrypted_attributes']['data_bag']['name'] = 'global_data'
include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes::users_data_bag'

# if Chef::EncryptedAttribute.exist?(...)
#   Chef::EncryptedAttribute.update(...)
# else
#   node.set[...][...] = Chef::EncryptedAttribute.create(...)
# ...

Note: This data bag does not need to be encrypted, because it only stores public keys.

Using Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers to Encrypt MySQL Passwords

In the following example we use the official mysql cookbook and its mysql_service resource to save the passwords encrypted in these attributes:

node['myapp']['mysql']['server_root_password']
node['myapp']['mysql']['server_debian_password']
node['myapp']['mysql']['server_repl_password']

# Include the #secure_password method from the openssl cookbook
self.class.send(:include, Opscode::OpenSSL::Password)

# Install Encrypted Attributes gem
include_recipe 'encrypted_attributes'

# Include the Encrypted Attributes cookbook helpers
self.class.send(:include, Chef::EncryptedAttributesHelpers)

# We can use an attribute to enable or disable encryption (recommended for tests)
# self.encrypted_attributes_enabled = node['myapp']['encrypt_attributes']

# Encrypted Attributes will be generated randomly and saved in in the
# node['myapp']['mysql'] attribute encrypted.
def generate_mysql_password(user)
  key = "server_#{user}_password"
  encrypted_attribute_write(['myapp', 'mysql', key]) { secure_password }
end

# Generate the encrypted passwords
mysql_root_password = generate_mysql_password('root')
mysql_debian_password = generate_mysql_password('debian')
mysql_repl_password = generate_mysql_password('repl')

mysql_service node['mysql']['service_name'] do
  version node['mysql']['version']
  port node['mysql']['port']
  data_dir node['mysql']['data_dir']
  server_root_password mysql_root_password
  server_debian_password mysql_debian_password
  server_repl_password mysql_repl_password
  allow_remote_root node['mysql']['allow_remote_root']
  remove_anonymous_users node['mysql']['remove_anonymous_users']
  remove_test_database node['mysql']['remove_test_database']
  root_network_acl node['mysql']['root_network_acl']
  action :create
end
