Alfresco Security Best Practices 2012
- 1. Alfresco Security Best Practices Toni de la Fuente ! Alfresco Senior Solutions Engineer! Blog: blyx.com Twitter: @ToniBlyx! ! toni.delafuente@alfresco.com!
- 2. Who I am? • Alfresco Senior Solutions Engineer! • Working with Alfresco for 5 years! • More than 2 years as part of the team! • Always involved with:! • Operating Systems! • Networks! • Security! • Open Source! • Consultant & Auditor: ethical hacking, penetration tests.! • And writing about that at blyx.com since 2002 !
- 3. Agenda • Intro! • Project life cycle and security! • Planning! • Installation! • Post-install configuration and hardening! • Maintenance! • Monitoring and auditoring! • Other security-related tasks! • Demo: information leaks and metadata! • Conclusions! • Next steps!
- 4. The Alfresco Platform The Alfresco Platform A robust, modern ECM platform focused on scalability & usability ! Consumer like UI Document drag-and-drop with MS Office intergration! Management Business Process" Electronic Team Records Rules and workflow that users can use! Management Collaboration Social features content activity feeds & social feedback! Metadata and Security building rich context around content! Image Alfresco Rich Media Management Support Ecosystem of Integrations" CIFS, WebDAV, SharePoint, Exchange, GoogleDocs, CMIS, SAP, Salesforce, Process Web Content Kofax, and thousands more. Management Services !
- 5. Introduction
- 6. Introduction • In Alfresco we must take security seriously.! • Because we care about contents! • If Alfresco stops working and that poses a problem for your business, security is important.! • Security is a process not a product.! • Think of protection, integrity and privacy.! • Reduce as much as posible the MTBF, to guarantee minimum MTTR posible.! • Taking into account the Security Plan of the organization, Contingency Plan and Disaster Recovery Plan.!
- 7. Project Life Cycle and Security
- 8. Planning and previous review! • What should I secure? It depends on… • Project needs • Interfaces • Users, applications or both • Customization • Architecture, high availability and scalability Document Collaboration Web Content Records Email Management Management Management Archive Interfaces? Number of…? Customization?
- 9. It depends on the network architecture B A Share Alfresco App Srv DataBase Content Store Index
- 10. Installation
- 11. Best practices and tips 1/2 • Run Alfresco as a non-root user! • Configure all ports beyond 1024! • Authbind on Debian-like OS! • IPTables port redirect! • Avoid default password (admin, db, jmx).! • Change default certificates and keys in SOLR.! • Use keytool or your own certificates.! • installRoot/alf_data/solr/CreateSSLKeystores.txt! • Set permissions for configuration files, content store, indexes and logs. Only the user running Alfresco must be able to access this folders.! • chown –R alfresco:alfresco installRoot/! • chmod –R 600 installRoot/!
- 12. Best practices and tips 2/2 • Before installing run Alfresco Environment Validation Tool in order to avoid conflictive services and ports.! • Keep SSL active when possible:! • Do not use self-signed certificates in live environments.! • Take care with SSL Strip: force using SSL and teach your users!! • Check your certificate strength on:! • https://www.ssllabs.com/ssldb/analyze.html! • Use Apache (or other web server) to protect your application server and services.! • SELinux (review alfresco.sh)! • When possible, run bundle installer to keep third party binary files controlled and avoid rootkits ! • If third party applications are installed by OS rpm repository use rpm command! • rpm –Vf /path/to/binary! • rpm –V <rpm-name>! • Check third party vulnerabilities often.!
- 14. Which ports should I open?

- 16. Control and review! • Controls processes and ports used by the system (Linux): # netstat -‐tulpn|grep -‐i java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:50500 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 127.0.0.1:8005 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8009 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:139 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8080 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:21 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:8443 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:445 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:7070 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN 8591/java udp 0 0 0.0.0.0:137 0.0.0.0:* 8591/java ! • On Windows OS: ! • netstat –an | findstr <port #>!

- 30. Other security-related tasks - 1/2 • Avoid information leaks through metadata (demo)! • content + metadata in Alfresco DB ! !vs.! • (content + metadata) + metadata in Alfresco! • Consider using the new type “d:encrypted”! • Add checksum to the content (third party development)! • User blocking after a certain number of failed authentications (LDAP or third party)! • Change webdav visibility root! • Session timeout for Explorer and Webdav! • Session timeout for Share! • Session timeout for CIFS! • Set CIFS and FTP on read only mode if required!
- 31. Other security-related tasks - 2/2 • Consider using a network scanner in order to avoid storing of viruses and trojans or an internal action like ALFVIRAL (Google Code). ! • mod_security to limit file size or intercept content (audit purposes).! • To filter which applications can access to services or remote API! ! <Location /alfresco/service/*> order allow,deny allow from localhost.localdomain # Add additional allowed hosts as needed # allow from .example.com </Location> <Location /share/service/*> order allow,deny allow from localhost.localdomain allow from 79.148.213.73 # allow from .example.com </Location>

- 35. Conclusions
- 36. Conclusions • Working on Security could be sometimes a nightmare but…! ! Picture from: http://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-17/dc-17-presentations/defcon-17-alonso-palazon-tactical_fingerprinting.pdf
- 37. Conclusions • Trust no one, including users!! • Nobody cleans documents.! • Almost everything can reveal information! • Currently we have tools and information available to secure Alfresco, but unfortunately they are not on a single place and we have to improve some of them.! • Remember: security measures have to be taken constantly!! • Other topics to be covered in future related to security:! • Security in development! • In-depth auditory ! • Users, roles and permissions.! • Authentication subsystems creation (webinar already carried out in Spanish)! • SSO with CAS, Siteminder, OpenSSO, JoSSO, ForgeRock, Oracle Identity Manager, etc. ! • PKI integration or best practices for digital signatures, content encryption, etc.!
- 38. Next steps • Lets use “Alfresco Security Toolkit” as main project for collection of security related docs and tools. ! • http://code.google.com/p/alfresco-security-toolkit/! • “Hardening Alfresco Guide”.! • “Bastille Alfresco” – useful?! • Any idea? !
- 39. Any questions?
