== Usage ==
 
''Please read [[#2FA]] for initial setup.'' Then simply use SSH to login to this machine:
 
 
<big>
 
~# '''ssh username@shell.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de '''
 
####### shell.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de - login vm: shell5.cip.loc
 
...
 
'''Verification code: '''
 
'''Password: '''
 
Welcome to Ubuntu 14.04.4 LTS (GNU/Linux 3.13.0-87-generic x86_64)
 
username@shell5:~$
 
</big>
 
 
=== Verify Key Fingerprint ===
 
The first time you connect to ''any'' ssh-reachable resource via an unstrusted network you need to verify the fingerprint of the used key and ''only then accept it''. For our <tt>shellX</tt>-machines the set of valid public key fingerprints is:
 
ECDSA 07:84:c9:e1:59:4f:03:75:69:b1:e4:d0:b4:1f:9a:cd
 
ED25519 93:11:29:c4:a2:03:e1:2d:b1:82:05:74:dd:a5:3b:9a
 
RSA de:db:6e:72:52:de:30:73:db:bb:6e:79:df:f9:2c:0d
 
<!-- <small>(On any server <tt>root</tt> can do this: <tt> ~# for F in /etc/ssh/*.pub ; do ssh-keygen -lf $F; done</tt>)</small> -->
 
 
=== Target audience ===
 
These machines are meant to be used by students. But ''of course'' they can be used by all staff members!
 
 
First time users: the only pre-condition is to logon one single time using one of the (physical) pool computers in our building - this will make you a "known user" to our systems. Only then you can (and must) walk through [[#2FA]].
 
 
=== Windows ===
 
For '''Windows''': use [[PuTTY]] (simple) or [[Cygwin]] (more complex and powerful) or any other SSH-implementation.
 
 
=== Load Balancing ===
 
In fact this term is misleading on this specific installation as it simple does "round-robin", at least for now. The important point is that you'll get connected to ''any'' currently available login machine. This will be the "next" machine one after another and probably ''not'' the same one as one session before. If you landed on an overcrowded system simply disconnect/reconnect to use another machine.
 
<!--
 
=== Legacy <tt>login.stud</tt> ===
 
Both <tt>login.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de</tt> and <tt>login.informatik.uni-goettingen.de</tt> (for staff only) are not affected by this new approach. These "old" machines will continue to work unmodified.
 
-->
 
 
=== Timeout ===
 
* The session Timeout is set to '''36 hours''' -- this is the HAproxy related Timeout regarding the TCP connection
 
* [[Kerberos]]/[[OpenAFS]] have separate/shorter timeouts, usually 10 hours. Please check with <tt>klist</tt>. You need to run <tt>kinit && aklog</tt> when you're approaching timeout
 
 
<!--
 
=== Availability ===
 
The goal - ''of course'' - is 24/7. Take a look at: http://shell.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de/ -- use <tt>ifi</tt>/<tt>ifi</tt> to login <small>("bots not welcome")</small>
 
-->
 
 
== Self defense of these servers ==
 
Only relevant if your system fails to connect with errors like <tt>Server not reachable</tt>: [[Shell/Self Defense]]
 
 
== 2FA ==
 
''Two Factor Authentication'' -- '''required, not optional!'''
 
 
=== Concept ===
 
We use the well known <tt>google-authenticator</tt> to add a second factor as a requirement for (ssh-) logins. ''First'' you will get prompted for a "Verification code:". Then you'll get a second prompt asking for your normal password.
 
 
The "Verification Code" changes every minute, this approach is called TOTP = '''T'''ime-based '''O'''ne '''T'''ime '''P'''assword.
 
 
<small>(Do not try to use "Counter based OTP". It might work first, but it will do so only for a short while! We are using ''copies'' of the secret file. State updates required by the incremental counter strategy are ''not'' written back. Authentication will fail after reaching the windows size.) </small>
 
 
The order of both inputs is relevant: if an attacker manages to crack the first element (being the TOTP) he has a benefit for some minutes only. If we would ask for the ''Password'' first then the benefit of cracking the first element gives advantages probably for a very long time.
 
 
 
You need to have a compatible [[#Generators|generator]] - usually implemented as a small application.
 
 
Please note that often this approach is associated with a specific implementation: ''the'' [[Google Authenticator]]. This is misleading as there are other 100% compatible implementations. See also RFC 6238.
 
 
=== Initialization ===
 
Before you can use this technology the first time you need to prepare your personal secret credentials. You do this by using a simple command line tool and answering some questions.
 
 
Of course you can not do this on these shellX-machines as you can not login successfully - this is the classic chicken-and-egg problem. '''Use one of the physical pool computers for this!'''
 
 
(Your personal/private computer is probably ''not'' an option as you need access to your OpenAFS <tt>$HOME</tt>. If you ''do'' have access you might need to install the software by <tt>apt-get install libpam-google-authenticator</tt> which contains the required binary.)
 
 
''The following instructions are copy-n-pastable as the commands are relative to anyones <tt>$HOME</tt>-folder. ''
 
 
~$ '''google-authenticator'''
 
Do you want authentication tokens to be time-based (y/n) '''y'''
 
... <small># For full output see [[Shell/2fa-example]]</small>
 
 
=== Create dedicated sub-directory ===
 
 
For '''new''' accounts the folder <tt>.ifi-login</tt> is created automatically on first login. If it actually exists already you can skip nearly this complete block and jump to ''the next section [[#Move_credential_file]] with the <tt>mv .google_authenticator</tt>-command''.
 
 
A successful check:
 
~$ file .ifi-login
 
.ifi-login: directory
 
A missing folder gives:
 
~$ file .ifi-login
 
.ifi-loginx: cannot open `.ifi-login' (No such file or directory)
 
 
----
 
 
Due to some unusual behavior of [[OpenAFS]] regarding access rights (<small>they work ''only'' on directories, not on files</small>) we need to move that file into another, dedicated subdirectory. This man page explains the access rights mechanism and how to manipulate ''access-control-lists'':
 
~$ man fs_setacl
 
 
First you need to create that directory. A special user with the name <tt>ifi-login</tt> needs to have read access to the files in the directory <tt>.ifi-login</tt> inside of your <tt>$HOME</tt>. To be able to reach into that directory he needs to "walk through" your home folder. The third line is required to make this possible by granting "l"="list" access rights to your <tt>$HOME</tt>:
 
~$ mkdir .ifi-login
 
~$ fs sa -dir .ifi-login -acl ifi-login read
 
~$ fs sa -dir . -acl ifi-login l
 
 
Be aware that we are working with "dotfiles": both <tt>.ifi-login</tt> & <tt>.google_authenticator</tt> begin with a "." and are usually ''hidden'' from users eye. To see them use '''<tt>ls -a</tt>'''.
 
 
As usual access rights are inherited. For this reason there are more rights granted than required. You ''might'' remove them now by commands like
 
~$ fs sa -dir .ifi-login -acl mta none
 
~$ fs sa -dir .ifi-login -acl spamassassin none
 
~$ fs sa -dir .ifi-login -acl web-home none
 
 
You can always check the current settings. At the end it may look like this:
 
~$ fs la .ifi-login
 
Access list for .ifi-login is
 
Normal rights:
 
system:administrators rlidwka
 
username rlidwka
 
username.system rl
 
'''ifi-login rl''' '' # this is the important one (in this context) ''
 
 
'''WARNING:''' do not remove rights if you are not absolutely sure they are not needed. ''It is very easy to remove too many rights'', leaving you with a directory that is not usable anymore!
 
 
=== Move credential file ===
 
 
Now move the created credential file into that new destination:
 
~$ mv .google_authenticator .ifi-login/
 
 
Please remember to repeat this step if you modify/recreate your configuration!
 
 
=== Generators ===

|Rudolph|| 8004 || *398004

|-
 
|-
 
|}
 
|}
 
For all generators you need the secret created above. You can use any tool you want to look into the file <tt>.ifi-login/.google_authenticator</tt>. A one-liner which outputs ''only'' the "secret" is this:
 
~$ head -n1 .ifi-login/.google_authenticator
 
P2ZOMKQLEIC6SKCL
 
 
[[Image:winauth+putty.png|399px|right]]
 
 
* Android
 
** Play Store: "<tt>Google Authenticator</tt>".
 
** [[F-Droid]]: https://f-droid.org/app/com.google.android.apps.authenticator2
 
 
* Linux
 
** install <tt>oathtool</tt> to get some compatible command line utilities. Then this works:
 
~$ oathtool --totp -b $(head -n1 .ifi-login/.google_authenticator)
 
123456
 
 
* Ubuntu Touch
 
** Authenticator
 
 
* Windows:
 
** WinAuth: https://github.com/winauth/winauth -- <small>direct download as of 06.2016: https://winauth.com/downloads/3.x/WinAuth-3.5.1.zip</small><br />This is an installation-free application, no setup and no administrative access needed.
 
 
* Windows Phone:
 
** Token2: free application from Microsoft Store. The QR-Code seems to be incompatible, so you need to type in your secret manually. Nevertheless: ''it works''.
 
 
 
* OS agnostic
 
** [[Chromium]] Browser: GAuth application
 
** https://5apps.com/gbraad/gauth -- direct use web-application (think twice!) & application for Chrome and Firefox
 
 
== Tips 'n' Tricks ==
 
 
=== Connecting to a specific machine ===
 
If you are trying to connect to the ''same machine as last time'' (for example to execute [[Long Running Processes]]) you need to connect from a ''semi-local source address'' which includes:
 
* <tt>134.76.0.0/16</tt> - official Gönet address space
 
* <tt>10.0.0.0/8</tt> - official Gönet wide routed RFC1918 address space
 
* <tt>172.16.0.0/12</tt> - Institute local address space
 
In this case circumventing the Round-Robin mechanism is possible by connecting to a specific port <tt>42000+''n''</tt> with <tt>''n''={1..6}</tt>. The example connects to machine number 4:

* '''Meldung von Störungen''' bitte ''erst'' an den Hausmeister, nur in Notfällen an die Störmeldezentrale 1171
~$ ssh -p 42004 username@shell.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de
 
#######
 
####### shell.stud.informatik.uni-goettingen.de - login vm: shell4.cip.loc
 
 
<!--
 
=== "knocking" not required from ''inside'' the Institute ===
 
If your are ''inside'' the Institute's LAN then there is no need to take the main entrance. You can circumvent the need to knock at the front door by connecting to the <tt>shellX</tt>-machines directly:
 
~$ ssh shell4.cip.loc
 
-->
 
 
=== Duplicate your Generators ===
 
It is absolutely fine to have a well configured generator on every single device you own. Remember: without the second factor you can not login. That's the goal of the whole shebang after all.
 
 
=== Write down your Emergency codes ===
 
Remember the console output during creation of the secret? "<tt>Your emergency scratch codes are:...</tt>". Write them down (or print them) and put that piece of paper into your pocket...
 
 
=== Credential problems ===
 
* the actual password is '''not stored anywhere''' in Institute's systems
 
** students: [[StudIT]] - https://wiki.student.uni-goettingen.de/support/account/passwort
 
** staff: [[Gwdg]] - https://info.gwdg.de/faq/index.php?action=artikel&cat=52&id=215&artlang=de - Institute's Admins will help as we have some administrative access. While we can not tell you your password we can ''reset'' it
 
 
* problems with the Verification Code: simply start again with [[#Initialization]] and overwrite <tt>~/.ifi-login/.google_authenticator</tt>. You need to re-configure ''all'' of your [[#Generators]] of course
 
 
== Todo ==
 
* Testing! -- the current state is considered "BETA"
 
* ssh-ed25519
 
<!-- * make Status Information publicly available? -- ''probably not'' -->
 
<!-- * possibly require 2FA only from outside the Institute? -- ''Not decided yet'' -->
