6.3. Enabling HTTP Strict Transport Security per-route


HTTP strict transport security (HSTS) is implemented in the HAProxy template and applied to edge and re-encrypt routes that have the haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header annotation.

Prerequisites

  • You have root access to the cluster.
  • You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  • To enable HSTS on a route, add the haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header value to the edge-terminated or re-encrypt route. You can use the oc annotate tool to do this by running the following command:

    $ oc annotate route <route_name> -n <namespace> --overwrite=true "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"="max-age=31536000;\ 
    1
    
    includeSubDomains;preload"
    1
    In this example, the maximum age is set to 31536000 ms, which is approximately 8.5 hours.
    注記

    In this example, the equal sign (=) is in quotes. This is required to properly execute the annotate command.

    Example route configured with an annotation

    apiVersion: route.openshift.io/v1
    kind: Route
    metadata:
      annotations:
        haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header: max-age=31536000;includeSubDomains;preload 
    1
     
    2
     
    3
    
    ...
    spec:
      host: def.abc.com
      tls:
        termination: "reencrypt"
        ...
      wildcardPolicy: "Subdomain"

    1
    Required. max-age measures the length of time, in seconds, that the HSTS policy is in effect. If set to 0, it negates the policy.
    2
    Optional. When included, includeSubDomains tells the client that all subdomains of the host must have the same HSTS policy as the host.
    3
    Optional. When max-age is greater than 0, you can add preload in haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header to allow external services to include this site in their HSTS preload lists. For example, sites such as Google can construct a list of sites that have preload set. Browsers can then use these lists to determine which sites they can communicate with over HTTPS, even before they have interacted with the site. Without preload set, browsers must have interacted with the site over HTTPS, at least once, to get the header.

6.3.1. Disabling HTTP Strict Transport Security per-route

To disable HTTP strict transport security (HSTS) per-route, you can set the max-age value in the route annotation to 0.

Prerequisites

  • You have root access to the cluster.
  • You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  • To disable HSTS, set the max-age value in the route annotation to 0, by entering the following command:

    $ oc annotate route <route_name> -n <namespace> --overwrite=true "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"="max-age=0"
    ヒント

    You can alternatively apply the following YAML to create the config map:

    Example of disabling HSTS per-route

    metadata:
      annotations:
        haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header: max-age=0

  • To disable HSTS for every route in a namespace, enter the following command:

    $ oc annotate route --all -n <namespace> --overwrite=true "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"="max-age=0"

Verification

  1. To query the annotation for all routes, enter the following command:

    $ oc get route  --all-namespaces -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if .metadata.annotations}}{{$a := index .metadata.annotations "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"}}{{$n := .metadata.name}}{{with $a}}Name: {{$n}} HSTS: {{$a}}{{"\n"}}{{else}}{{""}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}'

    Example output

    Name: routename HSTS: max-age=0

6.3.2. Enforcing HTTP Strict Transport Security per-domain

You can configure a route with a compliant HSTS policy annotation. To handle an upgraded node with noncompliant HSTS routes, you can update the manifests at the source and apply the updates.

You cannot use oc expose route or oc create route commands to add a route in a domain that enforces HSTS because the API for these commands does not accept annotations.

重要

HSTS cannot be applied to insecure, or non-TLS, routes.

Prerequisites

  • You have root access to the node.
  • You installed the OpenShift CLI (oc).

Procedure

  • Apply HSTS to all routes in the node by running the following oc annotate command:

    $ oc annotate route --all --all-namespaces --overwrite=true "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"="max-age=31536000;preload;includeSubDomains"
  • Apply HSTS to all routes in a particular namespace by running the following oc annotate command:

    $ oc annotate route --all -n <my_namespace> --overwrite=true "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"="max-age=31536000;preload;includeSubDomains" 
    1
    1
    Replace <my_namespace> with the namespace you want to use.

Verification

  • Review the HSTS annotations on all routes by running the following command:

    $ oc get route  --all-namespaces -o go-template='{{range .items}}{{if .metadata.annotations}}{{$a := index .metadata.annotations "haproxy.router.openshift.io/hsts_header"}}{{$n := .metadata.name}}{{with $a}}Name: {{$n}} HSTS: {{$a}}{{"\n"}}{{else}}{{""}}{{end}}{{end}}{{end}}'

    Example output

    Name: <_routename_> HSTS: max-age=31536000;preload;includeSubDomains
