doorman

Build Status Code Climate

Doorman is an osquery fleet manager that allows administrators to remotely manage the osquery configurations retrieved by nodes. Administrators can dynamically configure the set of packs, queries, and/or file integrity monitoring target paths using tags. Doorman takes advantage of osquery's TLS configuration, logger, and distributed read/write endpoints, to give administrators visibility across a fleet of devices with minimal overhead and intrusiveness.

at a glance

Doorman makes extensive use of tags. A node's configuration is dependent on the tags it shares with packs, queries, and/or file paths. As tags are added and/or removed, a node's configuration will change.

For example, it's possible to assign a set of packs and queries a baseline tag. To ensure all nodes then receive this baseline configuration, you simply assign the baseline tag to the nodes you wish to include.

nodes

state of the node

Click on any node to view its recent activity, original enrollment date, time of its last check-in, and the set of packs and queries that are configured for it. This view provides an "at-a-glance" view on the current state of a node.

recent_activity

distributed queries

With Doorman, you can distribute ad-hoc queries to one, some, or all nodes. A distributed query's status in Doorman is tracked based on whether the node has picked up the query and/or returned its results.

rules and alerts

If you're not acting on the information you collect, what's the point? Doorman allows fleet managers to configure custom rules to trigger alerts on specific events (for example, an unauthorized browser plugin is installed, or a removable USB storage device is inserted). Doorman allows building complex rule sets that can use arbitrary boolean logic and a variety of operators to test the results of a query. For example:

rule builder

Doorman allows supports alerting via the following methods:

  • PagerDuty
  • Email
  • Sentry
  • Log file (primarily for development)

logging

Doorman is intended to be configured to receive results from nodes via the osquery tls logging plugin. Results are saved in a Postgres database for easy access to recent events. Doorman also supports development of custom plugins to handle event data, allowing Doorman to send data elsewhere, such as to a separate file, rsyslog, Elasticsearch, etc.

osquery tls api

Doorman exposes the following osquery tls endpoints:

method url osquery configuration cli flag
POST /enroll --enroll_tls_endpoint
POST /config --config_tls_endpoint
POST /log --logger_tls_endpoint
POST /distributed/read --distributed_tls_read_endpoint
POST /distributed/write --distributed_tls_write_endpoint

To reach the Doorman management interface, point your browser at https://localhost:5000/manage/ (or the server it's running on).

authentication

Authenticating to Doorman can be handled several ways:

  • DOORMAN_AUTH_METHOD = None
  • DOORMAN_AUTH_METHOD = 'doorman'
  • DOORMAN_AUTH_METHOD = 'ldap'
  • DOORMAN_AUTH_METHOD = 'google'

None implies no authentication, resulting in an exposed manager web interface. If you deploy the api and web interface (the manager) separately, and the manager will only be accessible from a trusted network, this may be enough for you.

doorman utilizes username and password based authentication, managed by the backend database. Passwords are stored as bcrypt hashes with a work factor of 13 log_rounds. Doorman does not support user registration, or password reset capabilities from the web interface. This must be handled by the administrator using Doorman's manage.py script.

ldap authentication relies on an LDAP server to authenticate users. See the flask-ldap3-login documentation for the configuration values required by the plugin in order to successfully bind and authenticate to your LDAP server.

google uses OAuth 2.0 to authenticate with your Google credentials. To get started, you'll need to register a new web application client in the Google API Console and obtain a client_id and client_secret, along with authorize a callback URL. The following will need to be configured:

  • DOORMAN_OAUTH_CLIENT_ID = "client_id"
  • DOORMAN_OAUTH_CLIENT_SECRET = "client_secret"

Additionally, you should configure at least one of the following:

  • DOORMAN_OAUTH_GOOGLE_ALLOWED_DOMAINS
  • DOORMAN_OAUTH_GOOGLE_ALLOWED_USERS

Both of the aforementioned keys accept a list argument of app domains or user email addresses that are authorized to authenticate to Doorman. WARNING: if these values are not configured, then anyone with a Google account will be able to authenticate to your instance of Doorman!

The callback URL by default is https://SERVER_NAME/oauth2callback. The SERVER_NAME is populated from the environment parameters passed from your upstream web proxy (i.e., nginx's server_name).

configuration

Doorman's default configuration can be overridden by setting the DOORMAN_SETTINGS environment variable to a configuration file.

The following settings should be configured to get up and running:

Setting Description
SECRET_KEY Flask's secret_key. This should be a cryptographically secure random value, unique to your environment.
SERVER_NAME The name and port number of the server. See Flask's Builtin Configuration Values for more details.
PREFERRED_URL_SCHEME The URL scheme that should be used for URL generation if no URL scheme is available. This defaults to https.
SQLALCHEMY_DATABASE_URI The database URI that should be used for the connection. Example:

  • postgresql://localhost:5432/doorman

See the Flask-SQLAlchemy documentation for additional configuration settings.
BROKER_URL The Celery broker URL. Default: redis://localhost:6379/0
CELERY_RESULT_BACKEND The Celery result backend URL. Default: redis://localhost:6379/0
DOORMAN_ENROLL_SECRET A list of valid enrollment keys to use. See osquery TLS remoting settings for more information. By default, this list is empty.
DOORMAN_EXPECTS_UNIQUE_HOST_ID If osquery is deployed on endpoints to start with the --host_identifier=uuid cli flag, set this value to True. Default is True.
DOORMAN_CHECKIN_INTERVAL Time (in seconds) nodes are expected to check-in for configurations or call the distributed read endpoint. Nodes that fail to check-in within this time will be highlighted in red on the main nodes page.
DOORMAN_ENROLL_DEFAULT_TAGS A default set of tags to apply to newly enrolled nodes. See also DOORMAN_ENROLL_SECRET_TAG_DELIMITER.
DOORMAN_ENROLL_SECRET_TAG_DELIMITER A delimiter to separate the enroll secret from tag values (up to maximum of 10 tags) the node should inherit upon enrollment. Default is None, i.e., a node will not inherit any tags when first enrolled. This provides a little more flexibility than DOORMAN_ENROLL_DEFAULT_TAGS, allowing individual nodes to inherit different tags based on environment, asset class, etc. In the osquery configuration, you would supply an enroll secret in the format: --enroll-secret=secret:tag1:tag2:tag3, assuming : is your tag delimiter.
DOORMAN_CAPTURE_NODE_INFO A list of tuples, containing a pair of osquery result column and label used to determine what information is captured about a node and presented on a node's information page. In order for this information to be captured, a node must execute a query which returns a result containing these columns. By default, the following information is captured: (i.e., select * from system_info;)
  • computer_name
  • hardware_vendor
  • hardware_model
  • hardware_serial
  • cpu_brand
  • cpu_physical_cores
  • physical_memory
DOORMAN_EXTRA_SCHEMA Doorman will validate queries against the expected set of tables from osquery. If you use any custom extensions, you'll need to add the corresponding schema here so you can use them in queries.
DOORMAN_MINIMUM_OSQUERY_LOG_LEVEL The minimum osquery status log level to retain. Default is 0, (all logs).
DOORMAN_AUTH_METHOD The authentication backend used to authenticate Doorman users (not osquery endpoints). May be one of:

  • None
  • doorman
  • ldap
  • google

Note, google and doorman must be wrapped in quotes. Default is None. See the [authentication] (#authentication) section above for more information.
DOORMAN_ALERTER_PLUGINS The available AbstractAlerterPlugin implementations. This settings expects a dictionary of alerter names and tuples, where the first tuple item is the class name implemting AbstractAlerterPlugin to import, and the second value is a dictionary configuration passed to configure the Alerter class. Available Alerter plugins at time of this release are:

  • doorman.plugins.alerters.debug.DebugAlerter
  • doorman.plugins.alerters.emailer.EmailAlerter
  • doorman.plugins.alerters.pagerduty.PagerDutyAlerter
  • doorman.plugins.alerters.sentry.SentryAlerter

MAIL_DEFAULT_SENDER If using the doorman.plugins.alerters.emailer.EmailAlerter alerter above, specify the sender email address used by Doorman for the FROM: field.
SENTRY_DSN A Sentry project DSN (Data Source Name). See Sentry docs for more information.

up and running (development mode)

  1. Install PostgreSQL (9.4 or later).

    a. Choose a directory to host the database. We'll use ~/doormandb for these examples. b. Run initdb ~/doormandb to initialize the database. c. Run pg_ctl -D ~/doormandb -l ~/doormandb/pg.log -o -p5432 start to start a Postgres instance.

    If you reboot or otherwise, just run the pg_ctl ... start command above to resurrect the server.

  2. Create the doorman database by running:

    createdb -h localhost -p 5432 doorman
    
  3. Install and start Redis:

    redis-server /etc/redis/redis.conf
    
  4. Install the required Python dependencies under requirements/dev.txt.

  5. Initialize the database by running:

    python manage.py db upgrade
    
  6. Generate a self-signed certificate for testing, or obtain one from Let's Encrypt.

    openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 -keyout private.key -out certificate.crt
    
  7. Install Javascript dependencies with bower:

    bower install
    
  8. Start the doormany celery workers:

    celery worker -A doorman.worker:celery -l INFO
    
  9. Start doorman by running:

    python manage.py ssl
    
  10. Launch osquery with the appropriate cli flags to configure it to use the TLS enrollment, configuration, logging, and distributed read/write API's. Below is an example osquery.flags to be used only for testing:

    --pidfile=/tmp/osquery.pid
    --host_identifier=uuid
    --database_path=/tmp/osquery.db
    --config_plugin=tls
    --config_tls_endpoint=/config
    --config_tls_refresh=10
    --config_tls_max_attempts=3
    --enroll_tls_endpoint=/enroll
    --enroll_secret_env=ENROLL_SECRET
    --disable_distributed=false
    --distributed_plugin=tls
    --distributed_interval=10
    --distributed_tls_max_attempts=3
    --distributed_tls_read_endpoint=/distributed/read
    --distributed_tls_write_endpoint=/distributed/write
    --logger_plugin=tls
    --logger_tls_endpoint=/log
    --logger_tls_period=5
    --tls_hostname=localhost:5000
    --tls_server_certs=./certificate.crt
    --log_result_events=false
    --pack_delimiter=/
    --utc
    --verbose
    --tls_dump=true
    

    And then invoke osqueryd as root by running:

    root@localhost# ENROLL_SECRET=secret osqueryd --flagfile osquery.flags
    
  11. Point your browser at https://localhost:5000/manage/ to get to the main administration page (visiting the root index from a browser will return an HTTP 204 No Content response).

running in Docker

First, build the Docker container:

$ docker build -t doorman .

Second, run the container, providing it with the credentials to access the Postgres database:

$ docker run \
    -e DOORMAN_ENROLL_SECRET=foo \
    -e DOORMAN_SECRET_KEY=secret-key \
    -e POSTGRES_USER=doorman \
    -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=pass \
    -e POSTGRES_ENV_POSTGRES_PORT=your-host-here \
    -p host-port:5000 \
    doorman

The container will contain everything needed for Doorman to function (i.e. Redis, the Celery worker, and the API), managed by Runit. You can edit the service configuration under /docker to set additional options.

Note: The POSTGRES_ENV_POSTGRES_PORT environment variable is the same variable that is expected when using the --link argument to docker run, so linking a Postgres container to the Doorman container should work without passing that environment variable.

running on Heroku

Deploy

If you want to secure your instance with authentication then you will need to configure Google auth (which is currently the only one supported with Heroku); see the next section.

configuring Google auth

In order to configure authentication with Google, you need to do the following steps:

  1. Open Google developer's console and create a new app, or choose an existing one;
  2. Open Credentials section on the left menu;
  3. Press Create credentials button and choose OAuth client ID;
  4. Choose Web application for an application type;
  5. Fill in app name, and enter https://YOUR_DOMAIN/oauth2callback (put in the domain you have installed the app on, and check scheme). For Heroku it will be APPNAME.herokuapps.com unless you use your own domain.
  6. Press Create button; you will get CLIENT_ID and CLIENT_SECRET values to put in the config.
  7. Go back to Credentials page and open OAuth consent screen tab. Fill in required fields.
  8. Specify your Google account's primary email address in *_ALLOWED_USERS config option. If you want to specify several accounts, separate them with spaces.

running tests

To execute tests, simply run python manage.py test.

troubleshooting

Q. I started Doorman and it looks like it's running, but how do I actually use it?

A. Point your browser at https://localhost/manage/ (or whatever domain name/port number it's hosted on).

Q. When loading /manage/ in the browser for first time, I receved some error about lessc not being installed.

lessc should have been installed during the bower install step above. If it did not install, you can install it by running npm install -g less or installing less via your operating system distribution's package manager.

Q. I try to run the python manage.py db upgrade script, but I get an error along the lines of: type "JSONB" does not exist.

Verify you have postgresql 9.4 (or later) installed. Doorman uses the postgresql JSONB column type for storing osquery result data.
