 ====== VPN Access ====== ====== VPN Access ======
-===== Requesting Access ===== +===== Requesting New Access =====
-To request access to the Sepia lab, +
-  - Generate login credentials by following directions under **VPN Client Access** below. +
-  - [[http://tracker.ceph.com/projects/lab/issues/new?issue[tracker_id]=3|File a ticket]].  Select **Sepia Lab Access Request** and ***copy those questions and answer them in the ticket.***+
  
-<code>+Visit https://onboarding.sepia.ceph.com/
  
-1) Do you just need VPN access or will you also be running teuthology jobs?+===== Existing User Additional Credential =====
  
-2) Desired Username:+Use this form if you are registering an additional machine and need another Wireguard or SSH key.
  
-3) Alternate e-mail address(es) we can reach you at:+See https://onboarding.sepia.ceph.com/wireguard/request
  
-4) If you don't already have an established history of code contributions to Ceph, is there an existing community or core developer you've worked with who has reviewed your work and can vouch for your access request?+===== Existing User Replace Credential =====
  
-If you answered "No" to # 4, please answer the following (paste directly below the question to keep indentation):+Use this form if you are //replacing// a machine and no longer need your previous Wireguard key/SSH key.
  
-4a) Paste a link to a Blueprint or planning doc of yours that was reviewed at a Ceph Developer Monthly.+https://onboarding.sepia.ceph.com/wireguard/replace
  
-4b) Paste a link to an accepted pull request for a major patch or feature.+===== Existing User Remove SSH Key =====
  
-4c) If applicable, include a link to the current project (planning doc, dev branch, or pull request) that you are looking to test.+https://onboarding.sepia.ceph.com/keys/request
  
-5) Paste your SSH public key(s) between the pre tags+===== Approvals =====
  
-6) Paste your hashed VPN credentials between the pre tags (Format: user@hostname 22CharacterSalt 65CharacterHashedPassword)+User access requests from @ibm.com and @redhat.com e-mail addresses are automatically approved once they confirm their e-mail via a magic link.  (Other domains can be added.  For now, IBM and Red Hat seemed safest.)
  
-For details on our particular OpenVPN server setup, see [[services:openvpn|OpenVPN]].+Non-whitelisted domains require an existing lab user to "vouch" for them by clicking a magic link in their e-mail.  Then a Lab Admin still has to approve.
  
-</code> +Once an account is approved, automation runs to add the user's public key to https://github.com/ceph/keys and their user entry to https://github.com/ceph/ceph-sepia-secrets.
-===== VPN Client Access ===== +
-Follow the instructions corresponding to your workstation's operating system below.+
  
-**NOTE:** You will need VPN credentials for each machine/workstation you intend to connect to the Sepia VPN.  **Client credentials can not be used on more than one machine at a time!**+The user will then be e-mailed their Wireguard IP and can log in.
  
- +Admins can approve/deny/clean up at https://onboarding-admin.front.sepia.ceph.com/admin.
-==== Linux ==== +
-<code> +
-sudo [apt-get|yum] install openvpn +
- +
-sudo mkdir -p /run/openvpn +
- +
-## Fedora 28 and later +
-cd /etc/openvpn/client +
- +
-## All others +
-cd /etc/openvpn +
- +
- +
-sudo wget https://filedump.ceph.com/sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
-sudo tar zxvf sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
- +
- +
-# Generate client credentials +
-# USER should be your desired username and HOST should describe your workstation +
-# e.g., dgalloway@thinkpad +
- +
-sudo ./sepia/new-client USER@HOST +
- +
-# Submit the command output in your ticket +
-# After you've been notified in your ticket that access has been granted, +
- +
-sudo service openvpn restart +
-OR +
-sudo systemctl restart openvpn@sepia +
-OR +
-sudo systemctl restart openvpn-client@sepia +
- +
-# Try all 3.  One of them should work. +
-# Whichever works, enable the systemd service +
- +
-sudo systemctl enable openvpn@sepia +
-OR +
-sudo systemctl enable openvpn-client@sepia +
-</code> +
- +
-=== Linux Gotchas === +
-You may need to edit ''user'' and ''group'' in ''/etc/openvpn/sepia/client.conf'' depending on what user the service runs as.  This could be ''nobody'', ''nogroup'', or ''openvpn''. +
- +
-<code> +
-sed -i 's/nobody/openvpn/g' /etc/openvpn/sepia/client.conf || sed -i 's/nobody/openvpn/g' /etc/openvpn/client/sepia/client.conf +
-sed -i 's/nogroup/openvpn/g' /etc/openvpn/sepia/client.conf || sed -i 's/nogroup/openvpn/g' /etc/openvpn/client/sepia/client.conf +
-</code> +
- +
----- +
- +
-If you're using OpenVPN for any other VPN connection (e.g., Red Hat's), you may need to change the ''dev'' name in ''/etc/openvpn/sepia/client.conf''.  See below. +
- +
-<code> +
-# ERASE +
-dev tun +
- +
-# REPLACE WITH +
-dev sepia0 +
-dev-type tun +
-</code> +
- +
----- +
- +
-If the ''new-client'' script throws an error about ''/usr/bin/python'' not being found, run: +
- +
-<code> +
-sudo sed -i 's|/usr/bin/python|/usr/bin/python3|g' sepia/new-client +
-</code> +
- +
-=== Troubleshooting === +
-Please disable SELinux on rhel clients +
- +
-To troubleshoot your VPN connection, try running the following command to determine where the connection is failing: +
- +
-<code> +
-openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/sepia.conf --cd /etc/openvpn --verb 5 +
-OR +
-openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client/sepia.conf --cd /etc/openvpn/client --verb 5 +
-</code> +

-==== Mac/OS X ==== +
-Tunnelblick and Viscosity are two clients known to work with the Sepia VPN. +
- +
-=== Tunnelblick **UNTESTED** === +
-  - Download and untar the Sepia VPN client [[https://filedump.ceph.com/sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz|tarball]] <code> +
-mkdir /etc/openvpn +
-cd /etc/openvpn +
-wget https://filedump.ceph.com/sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
-sudo tar zxvf sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
- +
-# Generate client credentials +
-# USER should be your desired username and HOST should describe your workstation +
-# e.g., dgalloway@thinkpad +
- +
-sudo ./sepia/new-client USER@HOST +
- +
-# Submit the output of this command in your ticket</code> +
-  - Replace the line ''auth-user-pass sepia/secret'' with just ''auth-user-pass'' in client.conf +
-  - Follow [[https://tunnelblick.net/cConfigT.html|Tunnelblick's instructions]] for adding the config +
-  - When prompted for user/pass, enter username USER@HOST as above, and for password use the secret contents of the file ''/etc/openvpn/sepia/secret''. +
-  - Save to your keychain if you wish +
- +
-=== Viscosity === +
- +
-  - Download https://filedump.ceph.com/Sepia.visz +
-  - Download https://filedump.ceph.com/sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
-  - Import the Sepia.visz config into Viscosity +
-  - Extract sepia-vpn-client.tar.gz +
-  - Save ''sepia/ca.crt'' somewhere +
-  - Run ''sudo ./sepia/new-client USER@HOST'' +
-    - Replace ''USER@HOST'' with your desired username and machine description.  (e.g., dgalloway@laptop) +
-  - In Viscosity, under the Authentication tab, set: +
-    - **Authentication:** SSL/TLS Client +
-    - Check **Use Username/Password authentication** +
-    - **CA:** to the ca.crt file you saved earlier +
-    - **Tls-Auth:** ta.key +
-  - When connecting to the VPN for the first time, +
-    - Enter your ''USER@HOST'' combination as the username(the username is the first line in secret file) +
-    - Enter the second line of ''sepia/secret'' as the password(the password is the second line in secret file) +
-  - Save the credentials to your keychain +
-  - You can now delete any downloaded and created files (except ca.crt) +
- +
-===== A Note About DNS ===== +
-Due to complexities around adding nameservers to various Linux distro VPN clients, our OpenVPN server does not use the [[https://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#dhcp|dhcp-option DNS]] option. +
- +
-Instead, we serve our private DNS records publicly.  Your machine should be able to resolve hostnames under the ''sepia.ceph.com'' subdomain automatically. +
- +
-If you're using dnsmasq, you can add ''server=/sepia.ceph.com/172.21.0.1'' to ''/etc/dnsmasq.conf''.+
