Edit the docs test plan (#27200)
* Edit the docs test plan

Add an item to remove version warnings for versions we no longer
support. Currently, we remove these version warnings as we encounter
them. This change makes this task a regular, predictable step when
releasing a new major Teleport version.

Manual Testing Plan

Below are the items that should be manually tested with each release of Teleport. These tests should be run on both a fresh installation of the version to be released as well as an upgrade of the previous version of Teleport.

  • Adding nodes to a cluster

    • Adding Nodes via Valid Static Token
    • Adding Nodes via Valid Short-lived Tokens
    • Adding Nodes via Invalid Token Fails
    • Revoking Node Invitation
  • Labels

    • Static Labels
    • Dynamic Labels
  • Trusted Clusters

    • Adding Trusted Cluster Valid Static Token
    • Adding Trusted Cluster Valid Short-lived Token
    • Adding Trusted Cluster Invalid Token
    • Removing Trusted Cluster
    • Changing role map of existing Trusted Cluster
  • RBAC

    Make sure that invalid and valid attempts are reflected in audit log. Do this with both Teleport and Agentless nodes.

    • Successfully connect to node with correct role
    • Unsuccessfully connect to a node in a role restricting access by label
    • Unsuccessfully connect to a node in a role restricting access by invalid SSH login
    • Allow/deny role option: SSH agent forwarding
    • Allow/deny role option: Port forwarding
    • Allow/deny role option: SSH file copying
  • Verify that custom PAM environment variables are available as expected.

  • Users

    With every user combination, try to login and signup with invalid second factor, invalid password to see how the system reacts.

    WebAuthn in the release tsh binary is implemented using libfido2 for linux/macOS. Ask for a statically built pre-release binary for realistic tests. (tsh fido2 diag should work in our binary.) Webauthn in Windows build is implemented using webauthn.dll. (tsh webauthn diag with security key selected in dialog should work.)

    Touch ID requires a signed tsh, ask for a signed pre-release binary so you may run the tests.

    Windows Webauthn requires Windows 10 19H1 and device capable of Windows Hello.

    • Adding Users Password Only

    • Migrate auth server on main cluster, then rest of the servers on main cluster SSH should work for both main and old clusters
    • Migrate auth server on remote cluster, then rest of the remote cluster SSH should work

Command Templates

When interacting with a cluster, the following command templates are useful:

OpenSSH

# when connecting to the recording proxy, `-o 'ForwardAgent yes'` is required.
ssh -o "ProxyCommand ssh -o 'ForwardAgent yes' -p 3023 %r@proxy.example.com -s proxy:%h:%p" \
  node.example.com

# the above command only forwards the agent to the proxy, to forward the agent
# to the target node, `-o 'ForwardAgent yes'` needs to be passed twice.
ssh -o "ForwardAgent yes" \
  -o "ProxyCommand ssh -o 'ForwardAgent yes' -p 3023 %r@proxy.example.com -s proxy:%h:%p" \
  node.example.com

# when connecting to a remote cluster using OpenSSH, the subsystem request is
# updated with the name of the remote cluster.
ssh -o "ProxyCommand ssh -o 'ForwardAgent yes' -p 3023 %r@proxy.example.com -s proxy:%h:%p@foo.com" \
  node.foo.com

Teleport

# when connecting to a OpenSSH node, remember `-p 22` needs to be passed.
tsh --proxy=proxy.example.com --user=<username> --insecure ssh -p 22 node.example.com

# an agent can be forwarded to the target node with `-A`
tsh --proxy=proxy.example.com --user=<username> --insecure ssh -A -p 22 node.example.com

# the --cluster flag is used to connect to a node in a remote cluster.
tsh --proxy=proxy.example.com --user=<username> --insecure ssh --cluster=foo.com -p 22 node.foo.com

tctl sso family of commands

For help with setting up sso connectors, check out the Quick GitHub/SAML/OIDC Setup Tips

tctl sso configure helps to construct a valid connector definition:

  • tctl sso configure github ... creates valid connector definitions
  • tctl sso configure oidc ... creates valid connector definitions
  • tctl sso configure saml ... creates valid connector definitions

tctl sso test test a provided connector definition, which can be loaded from file or piped in with tctl sso configure or tctl get --with-secrets. Valid connectors are accepted, invalid are rejected with sensible error messages.

  • Connectors can be tested with tctl sso test.
    • GitHub
    • SAML
    • OIDC
      • Google Workspace
      • Non-Google IdP

Passwordless

This feature has additional build requirements, so it should be tested with a pre-release build from Drone (eg: https://get.gravitational.com/teleport-v10.0.0-alpha.2-linux-amd64-bin.tar.gz).

This sections complements "Users -> Managing MFA devices". tsh binaries for each operating system (Linux, macOS and Windows) must be tested separately for FIDO2 items.

      • Touch ID
      • Windows Hello
    • Exercise credential picker (register credentials for multiple users in the same device)
      • FIDO2 macOS/Linux
      • Touch ID
      • Windows
    • Passwordless disable switch works (auth_service.authentication.passwordless = false)
    • Cluster in passwordless mode defaults to passwordless (auth_service.authentication.connector_name = passwordless)
    • Cluster in passwordless mode allows MFA login (tsh login --auth=local)
  • Touch ID support commands

    • tsh touchid ls works
    • tsh touchid rm works (careful, may lock you out!)

Device Trust

Device Trust requires Teleport Enterprise.

This feature has additional build requirements, so it should be tested with a pre-release build from Drone (eg: https://get.gravitational.com/teleport-v10.0.0-alpha.2-linux-amd64-bin.tar.gz).

Client-side enrollment requires a signed tsh for macOS, make sure to use the tsh binary from tsh.app.

A simple formula for testing device authorization is:

# Before enrollment.
# Replace with other kinds of access, as appropriate (db, kube, etc)
tsh ssh node-that-requires-device-trust
> ERROR: ssh: rejected: administratively prohibited (unauthorized device)

# Register the device.
# Get the serial number from "Apple -> About This Mac".
tctl devices add --os=macos --asset-tag=<SERIAL_NUMBER> --enroll

# Enroll the device.
tsh device enroll --token=<TOKEN_FROM_COMMAND_ABOVE>
tsh logout; tsh login

# After enrollment
tsh ssh node-that-requires-device-trust
> $
  • Inventory management

    • Add device (tctl devices add)
    • Add device and create enrollment token (tctl devices add --enroll)
    • List devices (tctl devices ls)
    • Remove device using device ID (tctl devices rm)
    • Remove device using asset tag (tctl devices rm)
    • Create enrollment token using device ID (tctl devices enroll)
    • Create enrollment token using asset tag (tctl devices enroll)
  • Device enrollment

    • Enroll device on macOS (tsh device enroll)

    • Verify device extensions on TLS certificate

      Note that different accesses have different certificates (Database, Kube, etc).

      $ openssl x509 -noout -in ~/.tsh/keys/zarquon/llama-x509.pem -nameopt sep_multiline -subject | grep 1.3.9999.3
      > 1.3.9999.3.1=6e60b9fd-1e3e-473d-b148-27b4f158c2a7
      > 1.3.9999.3.2=AAAAAAAAAAAA
      > 1.3.9999.3.3=661c9340-81b0-4a1a-a671-7b1304d28600
      
    • Verify device extensions on SSH certificate

      ssh-keygen -L -f ~/.tsh/keys/zarquon/llama-ssh/zarquon-cert.pub | grep teleport-device-
      teleport-device-asset-tag ...
      teleport-device-credential-id ...
      teleport-device-id ...
      
  • Device authorization

    • device_trust.mode other than "off" or "" not allowed (OSS)

    • device_trust.mode="off" doesn't impede access (Enterprise and OSS)

    • device_trust.mode="optional" doesn't impede access, but issues device extensions on login

    • device_trust.mode="required" enforces enrolled devices

    • device_trust.mode="required" is enforced by processes, and not only by Auth APIs

      Testing this requires issuing a certificate without device extensions (mode="off"), then changing the cluster configuration to mode="required" and attempting to access a process directly, without a login attempt.

    • Role-based authz enforces enrolled devices (device_trust.mode="off" or "optional", role.spec.options.device_trust_mode="required")

    • Device authorization works correctly for both require_session_mfa=false and require_session_mfa=true

    • Device authorization applies to SSH access (all items above)

    • Device authorization applies to Trusted Clusters (root with mode="optional" and leaf with mode="required")

    • Device authorization applies to Database access (all items above)

    • Device authorization applies to Kubernetes access (all items above)

    • Device authorization does not apply to App access (both cluster-wide and role)

    • Device authorization does not apply to Windows Desktop access (both cluster-wide and role)

  • Device audit (see lib/events/codes.go)

    • Inventory management actions issue events (success only)
    • Device enrollment issues device event (any outcomes)
    • Device authorization issues device event (any outcomes)

Hardware Key Support

Hardware Key Support is an Enterprise feature and is not available for OSS.

You will need a YubiKey 4.3+ to test this feature.

This feature has additional build requirements, so it should be tested with a pre-release build from Drone (eg: https://get.gravitational.com/teleport-ent-v11.0.0-alpha.2-linux-amd64-bin.tar.gz).

Server Access

These tests should be carried out sequentially. tsh tests should be carried out on Linux, MacOS, and Windows.

  1. tsh login as user with Webauthn login and no hardware key requirement.
  2. Request a role with role.role_options.require_session_mfa: hardware_key - tsh login --request-roles=hardware_key_required
  • Assuming the role should force automatic re-login with yubikey
  • tsh ssh
    • Requires yubikey to be connected for re-login
    • Prompts for per-session MFA
  1. Request a role with role.role_options.require_session_mfa: hardware_key_touch - tsh login --request-roles=hardware_key_touch_required
  • Assuming the role should force automatic re-login with yubikey
    • Prompts for touch if not cached (last touch within 15 seconds)
  • tsh ssh
    • Requires yubikey to be connected for re-login
    • Prompts for touch if not cached
  1. tsh logout and tsh login as the user with no hardware key requirement.
  2. Upgrade auth settings to auth_service.authentication.require_session_mfa: hardware_key
  • Using the existing login session (tsh ls) should force automatic re-login with yubikey
  • tsh ssh
    • Requires yubikey to be connected for re-login
    • Prompts for per-session MFA
  1. Upgrade auth settings to auth_service.authentication.require_session_mfa: hardware_key_touch
  • Using the existing login session (tsh ls) should force automatic re-login with yubikey
    • Prompts for touch if not cached
  • tsh ssh
    • Requires yubikey to be connected for re-login
    • Prompts for touch if not cached

Other

Set auth_service.authentication.require_session_mfa: hardware_key_touch in your cluster auth settings.

  • Ctrl+C in the #1 terminal should disconnect the moderator.
  • Ctrl+C in the #2 terminal should disconnect the moderator and terminate the session as session has no moderator.

Using tsh join an SSH session as two moderators (two separate terminals, role requires one moderator).

  • t in any terminal should terminate the session for all participants.

Performance

Scaling Test

Scale up the number of nodes/clusters a few times for each configuration below.

  1. Verify that there are no memory/goroutine/file descriptor leaks
  2. Compare the baseline metrics with the previous release to determine if resource usage has increased
  3. Restart all Auth instances and verify that all nodes/clusters reconnect

Perform reverse tunnel node scaling tests for all backend configurations:

  • etcd - 10k
  • DynamoDB - 10k
  • Firestore - 10k

Perform the following additional scaling tests on DynamoDB:

  • 10k direct dial nodes.
  • 500 trusted clusters.

Soak Test

Run 30 minute soak test directly against direct and tunnel nodes and via label based matching. Tests should be run against a Cloud tenant.

tsh bench ssh --duration=30m user@direct-dial-node ls
tsh bench ssh --duration=30m user@reverse-tunnel-node ls
tsh bench ssh --duration=30m user@foo=bar ls
tsh bench ssh --duration=30m --random user@foo ls

Concurrent Session Test

  • Cluster with 1k reverse tunnel nodes

Run a concurrent session test that will spawn 5 interactive sessions per node in the cluster:

tsh bench web sessions --max=5000 user ls
tsh bench web sessions --max=5000 --web user ls
  • Verify that all 5000 sessions are able to be established.
  • Verify that tsh and the web UI are still functional.

Robustness

  • Connectivity Issues:
  • Verify that a lack of connectivity to Auth does not prevent access to resources which do not require a moderated session and in async recording mode from an already issued certificate.
  • Verify that a lack of connectivity to Auth prevents access to resources which require a moderated session and in async recording mode from an already issued certificate.

      public_addr: ['root.example.com']
      web_listen_addr: 0.0.0.0:3080
    
    There should be total of three listeners, with only *:3080 for proxy service. Given the configuration above, 3022 and 3025 will be opened for other services.
    lsof -i -P | grep teleport | grep LISTEN
      teleport  ...  TCP *:3022 (LISTEN)
      teleport  ...  TCP *:3025 (LISTEN)
      teleport  ...  TCP *:3080 (LISTEN) # <-- proxy service
    
    In contrast for the same configuration with version v1, there should be additional ports 3023 and 3024.
    lsof -i -P | grep teleport | grep LISTEN
      teleport  ...  TCP *:3022 (LISTEN)

Machine ID

SSH

With a default Teleport instance configured with a SSH node:

  • Verify you are able to create a new bot user with tctl bots add robot --roles=access. Follow the instructions provided in the output to start tbot
  • Verify you are able to connect to the SSH node using openssh with the generated ssh_config in the destination directory
  • Verify that after the renewal period (default 20m, but this can be reduced via configuration), that newly generated certificates are placed in the destination directory
  • Verify that sending both SIGUSR1 and SIGHUP to a running tbot process causes a renewal and new certificates to be generated
  • Verify that you are able to make a connection to the SSH node using the ssh_config provided by tbot after each phase of a manual CA rotation.

Ensure the above tests are completed for both:

  • Directly connecting to the auth server
  • Connecting to the auth server via the proxy reverse tunnel

DB Access

With a default Postgres DB instance, a Teleport instance configured with DB access and a bot user configured:

  • Verify you are able to connect to and interact with a database using tbot db while tbot start is running

    • New SSH session with tsh
    • New SSH session with web UI
    • New SSH session in a child cluster on the same major version
    • New SSH session in a child cluster on the previous major version
    • New SSH session from a parent cluster
    • Application access through a browser
    • Application access through curl with tsh apps login
    • kubectl get po after tsh kube login
    • Database access (no configuration change should be necessary if the database CA isn't rotated, other Teleport functionality should not be affected if only the database CA is rotated)

Proxy Peering

Proxy Peering docs

  • Verify that Proxy Peering works for the following protocols:
    • SSH
    • Kubernetes
    • Database
    • Windows Desktop
    • App Access

EC2 Discovery

EC2 Discovery docs

  • Verify EC2 instance discovery
    • Only EC2 instances matching given AWS tags have the installer executed on them
    • Only the IAM permissions mentioned in the discovery docs are required for operation
    • Custom scripts specified in different matchers are executed
    • Custom SSM documents specified in different matchers are executed
    • New EC2 instances with matching AWS tags are discovered and added to the teleport cluster
      • Large numbers of EC2 instances (51+) are all successfully added to the cluster
    • Nodes that have been discovered do not have the install script run on the node multiple times

IP Pinning

Add a role with pin_source_ip: true (requires Enterprise) to test IP pinning. Testing will require changing your IP (that Teleport Proxy sees). Docs: IP Pinning

  • Verify that it works for SSH Access
    • You can access tunnel node with tsh ssh on root cluster
    • You can access direct access node with tsh ssh on root cluster
    • You can access tunnel node from Web UI on root cluster
    • You can access direct access node from Web UI on root cluster
    • You can access tunnel node with tsh ssh on leaf cluster
    • You can access direct access node with tsh ssh on leaf cluster
    • You can access tunnel node from Web UI on leaf cluster
    • You can access direct access node from Web UI on leaf cluster
    • You can download files from nodes in Web UI (small arrows at top left corner)
    • If you change your IP you no longer can access nodes.
  • Verify that it works for Kube Access
    • You can access Kubernetes cluster through standalone Kube service on root cluster
    • You can access Kubernetes cluster through agent inside Kubernetes on root cluster
    • You can access Kubernetes cluster through standalone Kube service on leaf cluster
    • You can access Kubernetes cluster through agent inside Kubernetes on leaf cluster
    • If you change your IP you no longer can access Kube clusters.
  • Verify that it works for DB Access
    • You can access DB servers on root cluster
    • You can access DB servers on leaf cluster
    • If you change your IP you no longer can access DB servers.
  • Verify that it works for App Access
    • You can access App service on root cluster
    • You can access App service on leaf cluster
    • If you change your IP you no longer can access App services.
  • Verify that it works for Desktop Access
    • You can access Desktop service on root cluster
    • You can access Desktop service on leaf cluster
    • If you change your IP you no longer can access Desktop services.

Documentation

Checks should be performed on the version of documentation corresponding to the major release we're testing for. For example, for Teleport 12 release use branch/v12 branch and make sure to select "Version 12.0" in the documentation version switcher.
