# Theta42 Jump Host An SSH jump host for the [theta42](https://github.com/theta42) self-hosted stack. Users SSH into one public host and land on any downstream host they're entitled to — authenticated against the shared LDAP directory, authorized from the [SSO Manager](https://github.com/theta42/sso-manager-node)'s inventory graph, audited end to end. ## Two ways to connect **Direct (WinSCP/SFTP-friendly):** ``` ssh alice_-_web01@jump.example.com # -> host slug 'web01' / 'host_web01' sftp -P 2222 alice_-_web01@jump.example.com # SFTP passes through unchanged ``` The username grammar is `{uid}_-_{target}`. `target` is a directory host slug (with or without the `host_` prefix), a bare hostname, or an IP. **Interactive picker:** ``` ssh alice@jump.example.com ``` Plain login shows a TUI list of the hosts you can reach; pick one and you're bridged straight in. ## How it works 1. **Inbound auth** — LDAP. Public key (matched against your `sshPublicKey`, the jump host's own injected key excluded) or password (LDAP bind; the `ssh.passwordAuth` policy can restrict passwords to local clients or disable them — keys-only is recommended for a public host). 2. **Authorization** — the hosts you may reach are the union of your LDAP groups × the SSO directory (`/api/discovery/resources?group=`). No directory entry, no access. 3. **Key injection** — on first use the jump host appends its own public key to your `sshPublicKey` in LDAP (comment-marked), then connects downstream **as you** using its private key. Downstream hosts already serve keys from LDAP via [ldap-client](https://github.com/theta42/ldap-client)'s `AuthorizedKeysCommand`, so nothing downstream needs changing. 4. **Bridge** — shell, exec, and the SFTP subsystem are spliced to the downstream sshd. Every session is audited. ## Requirements - The SSO Manager (OpenLDAP directory + `/api/discovery`). - Downstream hosts joined via ldap-client (SSSD + `AuthorizedKeysCommand`). - An LDAP bind account with **write access to the `sshPublicKey` attribute** on user entries (see the ACL note in `secrets.js.example`). - An SSO API token (`sso_…`) for the directory queries. ## Install ### Unified theta-env stack (recommended) Enable it in `theta-env/setup.env` (`CFG_JUMP_HOST_ENABLED=true`) and re-run `./setup.sh`. The stack wires the LDAP bind account, the write-ACL, the API token, and a directory entry automatically. ### Standalone Docker ``` cp secrets.js.example config/jump-secrets.js # then edit it docker compose up -d --build ``` ### Bare metal ``` curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/theta42/jump-host/master/ops/install.sh | sudo bash sudo $EDITOR /etc/jump-host/secrets.js # fill in LDAP + SSO sudo systemctl restart jump-host ``` Installs to `/opt/theta42/jump-host`; idempotent (re-run to update). ## Ports | Port | Purpose | |------|---------| | 2222 | SSH front door (default; see below for :22) | | 3002 | Web UI + HTTP API (audit, metrics) | The default SSH port is **2222** so the service needs no privilege. To listen on 22, set `ssh.listenPort: 22` in your secrets and either uncomment `AmbientCapabilities=CAP_NET_BIND_SERVICE` in the systemd unit, or DNAT 22 → 2222 at the firewall. ## Web UI / API `https://jump.example.com/` (behind the proxy) — built on the same Express + EJS + Bootstrap stack as the [SSO Manager](https://theta42.github.io/sso-manager-node/) and [Proxy](https://theta42.github.io/proxy/), so it looks and behaves like the rest of the stack. Login is **OIDC against the SSO** (the "Log in with SSO" button) plus a **local anti-lockout admin** that works even if the SSO is unreachable. Admin access requires membership in `auth.adminGroups` (default `app_sso_admin`) or being the local `auth.adminUsers` account. - `GET /health` — open; `{status, activeSessions, version}` - `GET /api/sessions` — active sessions - `GET /api/audit?page=&uid=&target=&status=` — paged audit log - `GET /api/metrics` — counters (total, failures, top users/hosts) ## Configuration Config layers via [@simpleworkjs/conf](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@simpleworkjs/conf): `conf/base.js` < `conf/.js` < the `CONF_SECRETS` file < `app_*` env. See `secrets.js.example` for every key. ## Development ``` cd nodejs && npm install npm test # unit + integration (node --test) NODE_ENV=development npm run dev ``` ## License MIT
