.Dd July 1, 2015 .Dt AUDITDISTD.CONF 5 .Os .Sh NAME .Nm auditdistd.conf .Nd configuration file for the .Xr auditdistd 8 daemon. .Sh DESCRIPTION Note: the configuration file may contain passwords. Care should be taken to configure proper permissions for this file .Li ( e.g., 0600 ) .
p
Every line starting with
.Li #
gets treated as a comment and is ignored.
.Sh CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
The general syntax of the
.Nm
file is as follows:
d -literal ## Global section.
# Our name.
# The default is the first part of the hostname.
name "<name>"
# Connection timeout.
# The default is 5.
timeout <seconds>
# Path to pidfile.
# The default is "/var/run/auditdistd.pid".
pidfile "<path>"
sender {
## Sender section.
# Source address for connections.
# Optional.
source "<addr>"
# Directory with audit trail files managed by auditdistd.
# The default is /var/audit/dist.
directory "<dir>"
# Checksum algorithm for data sent over the wire.
# The default is none.
checksum "<algorithm>"
# Compression algorithm for data sent over the wire.
# The default is none.
compression "<algorithm>"
# Configuration for the target system we want to send audit trail
# files to.
host "<name>" {
# Source address for connections.
# Optional.
source "<addr>"
# Address of the auditdistd receiver.
# No default. Obligatory.
remote "<addr>"
# Directory with audit trail files managed by auditdistd.
# The default is /var/audit/dist.
directory "<dir>"
# Fingerprint of the receiver's public key when using TLS
# for connections.
# Example fingerprint:
# SHA256=8F:0A:FC:8A:3D:09:80:AF:D9:AA:38:CC:8A:86:53:E6:8F:B6:1C:55:30:14:D7:F9:AA:8B:3E:73:CD:F5:76:2B
fingerprint "<algorithm=hash>"
# Password used to authenticate in front of the receiver.
password "<password>"
# Checksum algorithm for data sent over the wire.
# The default is none.
checksum "<algorithm>"
# Compression algorithm for data sent over the wire.
# The default is none.
compression "<algorithm>"
}
# Currently local audit trail files can be sent only to one remote
# auditdistd receiver, but this can change in the future.
}
receiver {
## Receiver section.
# Address to listen on. Multiple listen addresses may be specified.
# The defaults are "tcp4://0.0.0.0:7878" and "tcp6://[::]:7878".
listen "<addr>"
# Base directory.
# If the directory in the host section is not absolute, it will be
# concatenated with this base directory.
# The default is "/var/audit/remote".
directory "<basedir>"
# Path to the receiver's certificate file.
# The default is "/etc/security/auditdistd.cert.pem".
certfile "<path>"
# Path to the receiver's private key file.
# The default is "/etc/security/auditdistd.key.pem".
keyfile "<path>"
# Configuration for a source system we want to receive audit trail
# files from.
host "<name>" {
# Sender address.
# No default. Obligatory.
remote "<addr>"
# Directory where to store audit trail files received
# from system <name>.
# The default is "<basedir>/<name>".
directory "<dir>"
# Password used by the sender to authenticate.
password "<password>"
}
# Multiple hosts to receive from can be configured.
}
.Ed
p Most of the various available configuration parameters are optional. If a parameter is not defined in the particular section, it will be inherited from the parent section if possible. For example, if the c source parameter is not defined in the c host section, it will be inherited from the c sender section. In case the c global section does not define the c source parameter at all, the default value will be used. .Sh CONFIGURATION OPTION DESCRIPTION The following statements are available: l -tag -width ".Ic xxxx" t Ic name Aq name
p This host's name. It is sent to the receiver, so it can properly recognize us if there are multiple senders coming from the same IP address. t Ic timeout Aq seconds
p Connection timeout in seconds. The default value is .Va 5 . t Ic pidfile Aq path
p File in which to store the process ID of the main .Xr auditdistd 8 process.
p The default value is
a /var/run/auditdistd.pid . t Ic source Aq addr
p Local address to bind to before connecting to the remote .Nm auditdistd daemon. The format is the same as for the c listen statement. t Ic directory Aq path
p The directory where to look for audit trail files in case of sender mode, or the directory where to store received audit trail files. The provided path has to be an absolute path. The only exception is when the directory is provided in the c receiver section; then the path provided in the c host subsections can be relative to the directory in the c receiver section. The default value is
a /var/audit/dist for the entire c sender section,
a /var/audit/remote for the non-host c receiver section and
a /var/audit/remote/<name>
for the
c host subsections in the
c receiver section where
.Aq name
is the host's name.
.It Ic checksum Aq algorithm
.Pp
Checksum algorithm should be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width ".Ic sha256"
.It Ic none
No checksum will be calculated for the data being sent over the network.
This is the default setting.
.It Ic crc32
CRC32 checksum will be calculated.
.It Ic sha256
SHA256 checksum will be calculated.
.El
.It Ic compression Aq algorithm
.Pp
Compression algorithm should be one of the following:
.Bl -tag -width ".Ic none"
.It Ic none
Data sent over the network will not be compressed.
This is the default setting.
.It Ic lzf
The
.Nm LZF
algorithm by
.An Marc Alexander Lehmann
will be used to compress the data sent over the network.
.Nm LZF
is a very fast, general purpose compression algorithm.
.El
t Ic remote Aq addr
p Address of the remote .Nm auditdistd daemon. The format is the same as for the c listen statement. When operating in c sender mode this address will be used to connect to the c receiver . When operating in c receiver mode only connections from this address will be accepted. t Ic listen Aq addr
p Address to listen on in form of: d -literal -offset indent protocol://protocol-specific-address .Ed
p Each of the following examples defines the same listen address: d -literal -offset indent 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0:7878 tcp://0.0.0.0 tcp://0.0.0.0:7878 tcp4://0.0.0.0 tcp4://0.0.0.0:7878 .Ed
p Multiple listen addresses can be specified. By default .Nm auditdistd listens on
a tcp4://0.0.0.0:7878 and
a tcp6://[::]:7878 , if the kernel supports IPv4 and IPv6 respectively. t Ic keyfile Aq path
p Path to a file that contains the private key for TLS communication. t Ic certfile Aq path
p Path to a file that contains the certificate for TLS communication. t Ic fingerprint Aq algo=hash
p Fingerprint of the receiver's public key. Currently only the SHA256 algorithm is supported. The certificate public key's fingerprint ready to be pasted into the .Nm auditdistd configuration file can be obtained by running: d -literal # openssl x509 -in /etc/security/auditdistd.cert.pem -noout -fingerprint -sha256 | awk -F '[ =]' '{printf("%s=%s\\n", $1, $3)}' .Ed t Ic password Aq password
p Password used to authenticate the sender in front of the receiver. .El .Sh FILES l -tag -width ".Pa /etc/security/auditdistd.conf" -compact t Pa /etc/security/auditdistd.conf The default .Nm auditdistd configuration file. .El .Sh EXAMPLES The example configuration files can look as follows.
