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 install 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
  • RBAC

    Make sure that invalid and valid attempts are reflected in audit log.

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

    • Adding Users Password Only
    • Adding Users OTP
    • Adding Users U2F
    • Login Password Only
    • Login OTP
    • Login U2F
    • Login OIDC
    • Login SAML
    • Login GitHub
    • Deleting Users
  • Backends

    • Teleport runs with etcd
    • Teleport runs with dynamodb
    • Teleport runs with boltdb
    • Teleport runs with dir
  • Session Recording

    • Session recording can be disabled
    • Sessions can be recorded at the node
      • Sessions in remote clusters are recorded in remote clusters
    • Sessions can be recorded at the proxy
      • Sessions on remote clusters are recorded in the local cluster
      • Enable/disable host key checking.
  • Audit Log

    • Failed login attempts are recorded
    • Interactive sessions have the correct Server ID
      • Server ID is the ID of the node in regular mode
      • Server ID is randomly generated for proxy node
    • Exec commands are recorded
    • scp commands are recorded
    • Subsystem results are recorded
  • Interact with a cluster using tsh

    These commands should ideally be tested for recording and non-recording modes as they are implemented in a different ways.

    • tsh ssh <regular-node>
    • tsh ssh <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh ssh -A <regular-node>
    • tsh ssh -A <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh ssh <regular-node> ls
    • tsh ssh <node-remote-cluster> ls
    • tsh join <regular-node>
    • tsh join <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh play <regular-node>
    • tsh play <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh scp <regular-node>
    • tsh scp <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh ssh -L <regular-node>
    • tsh ssh -L <node-remote-cluster>
    • tsh ls
    • tsh clusters
  • Interact with a cluster using ssh Make sure to test both recording and regular proxy modes.

    • ssh <regular-node>
    • ssh <node-remote-cluster>
    • ssh -A <regular-node>
    • ssh -A <node-remote-cluster>
    • ssh <regular-node> ls
    • ssh <node-remote-cluster> ls
    • scp <regular-node>
    • scp <node-remote-cluster>
    • ssh -L <regular-node>
    • ssh -L <node-remote-cluster>
  • Interact with a cluster using the Web UI

    • Connect to a Teleport node
    • Connect to a OpenSSH node
    • Check agent forwarding is correct based on role and proxy mode.

For some manual testing, many combinations need to be tested. For example, for interactive sessions the 12 combinations are below.

  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a local cluster using OpenSSH.
  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a local cluster using Teleport.
  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a local cluster using the Web UI.
  • Connect to a Teleport node in a local cluster using OpenSSH.
  • Connect to a Teleport node in a local cluster using Teleport.
  • Connect to a Teleport node in a local cluster using the Web UI.
  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a remote cluster using OpenSSH.
  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a remote cluster using Teleport.
  • Connect to a OpenSSH node in a remote cluster using the Web UI.
  • Connect to a Teleport node in a remote cluster using OpenSSH.
  • Connect to a Teleport node in a remote cluster using Teleport.

Teleport with EKS/GKE

  • Deploy Teleport on a single EKS cluster
  • Deploy Teleport on two EKS clusters and connect them via trusted cluster feature
  • Deploy Teleport Proxy outside of GKE cluster fronting connections to it (this feature is not yet supported for EKS)

Teleport with multiple Kubernetes clusters

Note: you can use GKE or EKS or minikube to run Kubernetes clusters. Minikube is the only caveat - it's not reachable publicly so don't run a proxy there.

  • Deploy combo auth/proxy/kubernetes_service outside of a Kubernetes cluster, using a kubeconfig
    • Login with tsh login, check that tsh kube ls has your cluster
    • Run kubectl get nodes, kubectl exec -it $SOME_POD -- sh
    • Verify that the audit log recorded the above request and session
  • Deploy combo auth/proxy/kubernetes_service inside of a Kubernetes cluster
    • Login with tsh login, check that tsh kube ls has your cluster
    • Run kubectl get nodes, kubectl exec -it $SOME_POD -- sh
    • Verify that the audit log recorded the above request and session
  • Deploy combo auth/proxy_service outside of the Kubernetes cluster and kubernetes_service inside of a Kubernetes cluster, connected over a reverse tunnel
    • Login with tsh login, check that tsh kube ls has your cluster
    • Run kubectl get nodes, kubectl exec -it $SOME_POD -- sh
    • Verify that the audit log recorded the above request and session
  • Deploy a second kubernetes_service inside of another Kubernetes cluster, connected over a reverse tunnel
    • Login with tsh login, check that tsh kube ls has both clusters
    • Switch to a second cluster using tsh kube login
    • Run kubectl get nodes, kubectl exec -it $SOME_POD -- sh on the new cluster
    • Verify that the audit log recorded the above request and session
  • Deploy combo auth/proxy/kubernetes_service outside of a Kubernetes cluster, using a kubeconfig with multiple clusters in it
    • Login with tsh login, check that tsh kube ls has all clusters

Teleport with FIPS mode

  • Perform trusted clusters, Web and SSH sanity check with all teleport components deployed in FIPS mode.

Migrations

  • Migrate trusted clusters from 2.4.0 to 2.5.0
    • 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
