Fixed In Version: ovirt-engine-4.4.0_beta4
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
With this enhancement, RHEL 7-based hosts have SPICE encryption enabled during host deployment. Only TLSv1.2 and newer protocols are enabled. Available ciphers are limited as described in BZ1563271 RHEL 8-based hosts do not have SPICE encryption enabled. Instead, they rely on defined RHEL crypto policies (similar to VDSM BZ1179273).

Description amashah 2020-04-07 20:51:51 UTC
Description of problem:

This relates to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1563271

In the BZ above, the request was for allowing to chose TLS versions and TLS ciphers, an ansible playbook was created to customize the ciphers, however the playbook does not allow for customizing the TLS version (protocol) [1]

This BZ is to add the functionality of the protocol as some institutions are calling for TLS 1.1 to be disabled, which currently is still enabled. This would allow customers to also configure TLS protocol via the playbook. 

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.8


Actual results:
Set the TLS protocol via the 'ovirt-host-deploy-spice-encryption' role.

Expected results:
Unable to set TLS protocol

Comment 2 Martin Perina 2020-04-14 09:22:42 UTC
This RFE is only for EL7 hosts, where we need to set ciphers and limit SSL/TLS version. On EL8 we will completely rely on current crypto policy.

Comment 7 amashah 2020-05-29 21:06:15 UTC
https://gerrit.ovirt.org/#/c/108295/ can be backported without any modification in RHV 4.3. This is where it was originally tested, with RHEL 7 hosts.

The playbook already exists on RHV-M 4.3 to set Ciphers, this patch just adds ability to specify TLS/SSL Protocols also (for RHEL 7, as RHEL 8 hosts do not need this).

RHEL 8 hosts can make use of the system-wide crypto policy and don't need to rely on spice.cnf to disable specific Protocols/Ciphers per application.

On RHV-M 4.3 the playbook is located here: /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/roles/ovirt-host-deploy-spice-encryption/

One could just add these two lines to the files:

# tail -n1 /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/roles/ovirt-host-deploy-spice-encryption/defaults/main.yml
host_deploy_spice_protocol: 'ALL,-SSLv2,-SSLv3,-TLSv1,-TLSv1.1'

# tail -n1 /usr/share/ovirt-engine/playbooks/roles/ovirt-host-deploy-spice-encryption/tasks/main.yml
      Protocol = {{ host_deploy_spice_protocol }}

The playbook writes these configurations to /etc/pki/tls/spice.cnf on hosts, which tells spice not to use these Protocols (again, only needed for RHEL 7 hosts).

Comment 9 Martin Perina 2020-06-01 13:24:17 UTC
This bug covers allowing setting of spice TLSv1.2 protocol for EL7 and EL8 hosts only from RHV Manager 4.4. So I've cloned this bug into BZ1842522 to also enable setting of TLSv1.2 for EL7 hosts from RHV Manager 4.3

Comment 15 errata-xmlrpc 2020-08-04 13:22:22 UTC
