#X_types

A collection of custom Puppet types and providers for Mac OS X.

##Version: 0.0.2

##Requirements

• Minimum OS: Mac OS X 10.5.8
• RubyCocoa 1.0.2 or greater if deploying on Mac OS X Lion or Mountain Lion

##Notes

At first glance, this module may appear to duplicate previous Puppet functionality (it does), but it is worth noting that X_types has the ability to create and manage resources in arbitrary dslocal nodes -- a concept specific to Mac OS X management. It also adds support for managing some functionality specific to Mac OS X.

##Examples

###Core Functionality

####Declare the x_types class

class { 'x_types': safe => 'false' }

• Declaring the x_types class is not require, but it is recommended.
• The class takes a single parameter: $safe. This is a hook to prevent x_types from loading on incompatible machines.
• The default value of $safe is 'true'. To disable this check, send the parameter 'false'.

####Create a new user

x_user { 'mrsighup':
  ensure        => 'present',
  dslocal_node  => 'Default',
  uid           => '401',
  shell         => '/bin/bash',
  gid           => '80',
  home          => '/private/var/itsop',
  comment       => 'Mr. Signal Hangup',
  password_sha1 => '000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000C19C9172142311D9A261F178262E096D3567E54A37E8C9BD0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000',

}

####Create a new dslocal node

x_node { 'MCX':
  active => 'true',
  provider => 'dslocal',
  ensure => 'present'
}

####Create a new computer in the designated node

x_computer { "$::hostname":
  dslocal_node  => 'MCX',
  en_address    => "$::macaddress_en0",
  hardware_uuid => "$::sp_platform_uuid",
  ensure        => 'present',
  require       => X_node['MCX']
}

####Create a new computer group and add the new computer record to it

x_computergroup { 'SomePolicyGroup':
  dslocal_node  => 'MCX',
  members       =>["$::hostname"],
  gid           => '5000',
  ensure        => 'present',
  require       => X_computer["$::hostname"]
}

####Import MCX policy on the target computer group

x_policy { 'SomePolicyGroup':
  dslocal_node  => 'MCX',
  provider      => 'x_mcx',
  type          => 'computergroup',
  plist         => '/private/etc/policy/mcx/applesoftwareupdates.plist',
  autocratic    => 'false',
  ensure        => 'present',
}

• Setting autocratic mode to 'true' expunges the previous mcx_settings from the target record prior to application.
• Setting this to 'false', performs a merge where the policy that Puppet applies always takes precedence.
• autocratic => 'true' is the default

###Special Providers

####Enable Apple Remote Desktop

x_remotemanagement { 'ard_setup':
  users     => { 'myadmin' => '-1073741569' },
  dirgroups => 'ardadmin, ardinteract, ardmanage, ardreports',
  dirlogins => 'enable',
  menuextra => 'disable',
  ensure    => 'running',
}

####Bind to an Active Directory

if "$::fqdn" == "$::certname" {
  x_node { 'some.domain':
    active        => 'true',
    ensure        => 'present'
    provider      => 'activedirectory',
    active        => 'true',
    computerid    => 'some_machine',
    username      => 'some_user',
    password      => 'a_password',
    ou            => 'CN=Computers',
    domain        => 'some.domain',
    mobile        => 'disable',
    mobileconfirm => 'disable',
    localhome     => 'disable',
    useuncpath    => 'enable',
    protocol      => 'afp',
    shell         => '/bin/false',
    groups        => 'SOME_DOMAIN\some_group,SOME_DOMAIN\another_group',
    passinterval  => '0',
  }
} else {
  $msg = "Our FQDN ($::fqdn) does not match our certname ($::certname). Aborting Puppet run..."
  notice($msg)
  notify { $msg: }
}

• Unless we have an authoritative hostname, abort bind operation

####Enable ipfw and apply a set of rules

x_firewall { 'ipfw':
  verbosity => '2',
  file      => '/private/etc/ipfw/ipfw_rules',
  require   => File['/private/etc/ipfw'],
}

• Rules read from a text file in the following form
• rule_num action proto from range to range
• Example: 12308 allow ip from 192.168.0.0/16 to any

####Create a login or logout hooks

x_hook { 'loguser_in':
  type     => 'login',
  priority => '0',
  ensure   => 'present',
  content  => "
    #!/bin/bash
    USER_NAME=\${1}
    USER_UID=\${2}
    USER_GID=\${3}
    /usr/bin/syslog -s -r $syslog_server -l Info \"Login: \${USER_NAME}, uid=\${USER_UID}, gid=\${USER_GID}\"
    exit 0
  "
}

• Allows you to define two types: login or logout
• Allows you to set a precedence for each script per type
• Scripts that share a precedence will be executed alphabetically
• Script content defined inline or as a file on disk

###Custom Facts

• filevault_enabled: boolean showing encryption status of the root volume
• rubycocoa_version: returns authoritative RubyCocoa version
• mac_console_users: adds 3 new custom facts
  • mac_console_users_names: names of users who have console sessions
  • mac_console_users_current: name of the user with current session
  • mac_console_users_total: number of user sessions

##Known Issues

• Using commands like: puppet resource x_user blah doesn't work for any types except x_user
• x_group provider is missing (unimplemented)
• x_mcx provider will continually re-apply policy under certain conditions (see comments in x_mcx.rb and x_policy.rb)
• x_profile provider for x_policy type still unimplemented
• x_firewall: alf provider unimplemented
