SPFarm: Bind managed certificate to the Central Administration HTTPS binding - #1485
luigilink wants to merge 8 commits into
Conversation
Sorry, something went wrong.
…ing (dsccommunity#1436) Add CentralAdministrationCertificateThumbprint, UseServerNameIndication and AllowLegacyEncryption to the SPFarm resource so the Central Administration HTTPS binding can be bound to a managed certificate (SharePoint Certificate Management) on SharePoint Server Subscription Edition, closing the cert-less-binding gap. - Get reads the bound thumbprint safely, handling a cert-less binding without throwing. - Set binds the certificate on initial provisioning, on reprovisioning of an existing Central Administration, and in place when only the certificate drifts. - New Set-SPDscCentralAdministrationCertificate helper fails fast when the certificate is not in Certificate Management and retries a bounded number of times to absorb the transient post-import non-bindable window. - Version guards mirror SPWebApplicationExtension (Subscription Edition, and Windows Server 2022 for AllowLegacyEncryption). - Added Pester tests, resource documentation and CHANGELOG entry.

Rebind only when the certificate settings differ.
The rebind branch runs on every Set when the URL is HTTPS and a thumbprint is supplied. It runs even if the bound certificate already matches. DSC calls Set when any property drifts, for example DeveloperDashboard. Each such run calls Set-SPWebApplication on the Central Administration binding without need. Compare the current thumbprint, SNI and legacy values first, and skip the call when they already match.

Remove the thumbprint-only gate for Boolean settings.
Test-TargetResource checks each supplied Boolean independently. Both provisioning paths call Set-SPDscCentralAdministrationCertificate only when CentralAdministrationCertificateThumbprint is present. A Boolean-only configuration therefore remains non-convergent. Comparing current settings and skipping redundant calls does not fix this because the required helper call is still skipped.
Pass the current thumbprint as an effective certificate when the caller omits one. Apply the Boolean-aware condition to both provisioning paths.

Central Administration normally has a single secure binding. Select the binding matching the target host header and port, and fall back to the first binding when no explicit match is found (for example an IP-based binding with no host header), so the helper never fails to locate the single Central Administration binding. Extracted to the Get-SPDscCentralAdminSecureBinding helper and covered by a unit test.

Restrict the fallback to a binding that serves the target endpoint.
If no exact match exists, this returns the first binding even when its port or nonempty host header differs. If that binding already carries the requested certificate and settings, Set-SPDscCentralAdministrationCertificate returns without applying the target binding. Post-update verification can also report success for the wrong endpoint.
Limit the fallback to an eligible host-headerless binding on the requested port. Otherwise, return $null.
This retains part of the previously reported wrong-binding selection concern.

One question: What happens if you provision a new server with the SPFarm resource. Since the farm does not yet exist, the SPCertificate resource cannot be used yet to upload a certificate. Configuring a dependency on that resource will most probably fail in that scenario, correct?
Sorry, something went wrong.
SharePoint Certificate Management requires an existing farm, so the certificate cannot be imported before the farm is created. The Central Administration binding helper no longer throws when the certificate is not yet in the store: it writes a warning and skips the bind, leaving the HTTPS binding cert-less. Test-TargetResource keeps reporting the drift, so the binding converges on a later pass once a dependent SPCertificate resource has imported the certificate. A genuine failure (the bind not taking effect after the bounded retries) still throws. The example now imports the certificate with SPCertificate depending on SPFarm, reflecting that Certificate Management is only available once the farm exists.
@ykuijs exactly — that was the chicken-and-egg problem, and you're right that the original dependency direction would fail on a brand-new server. I just pushed a fix: The example now has SPCertificate depend on SPFarm (not the reverse): the farm is created first, then the certificate is imported into Certificate Management, which only exists once the farm is up. |

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick winReuse the current certificate for option-only binding updates.
Test-TargetResource manages SNI and legacy encryption independently. The existing HTTPS Set-TargetResource branch calls Set-SPDscCentralAdministrationCertificate only when the thumbprint parameter is supplied. Therefore, a configuration that supplies CentralAdministrationUrl and either option can remain drifted even when the existing binding already has a managed certificate.
Reuse CurrentValues.CentralAdministrationCertificateThumbprint when no new thumbprint is supplied. Keep the existing helper call and binding selection unchanged.

Localize the new missing-certificate warning.
This warning uses a hardcoded English message. Add a localized string key with a thumbprint placeholder and use that key in Write-Warning.
As per path instructions: “Localize all strings using string keys; remove any orphaned string keys.”

For additional confidence, I validated the certificate-binding logic on a live SharePoint Server Subscription Edition farm (one SQL server + three SPSE servers in the Application/Search/WebFrontEnd roles), with Central Administration provisioned on a vanity HTTPS URL. To be precise about scope: I exercised the binding helper Set-SPDscCentralAdministrationCertificate by calling it directly (the same function SPFarm's Set uses), not through the full DSC resource or the LCM. The Get/Set/Test-TargetResource methods themselves are covered by the unit tests.
The brand-new-farm path (certificate not yet imported → warning + skip → binding converges on a later pass once SPCertificate has run) is covered by the unit tests. |
Sorry, something went wrong.
The helper unit tests passed state between mocks through a $global variable, which is not shared reliably across mock scopes and failed on the CI agents. Rework them: - Simulate the binding state with a counter in the SPFarm module scope (reset by the Get-SPCertificate mock, incremented by the Get-SPWebApplication mock) so the first read returns a cert-less binding and the verification read returns the bound binding. - Add direct unit tests for the pure helpers Test-SPDscCentralAdminBindingMatch and Get-SPDscCentralAdminSecureBinding, which need no mocks. Test-only change; no product code is modified.
…nistic The fallback helper test relied on the same read-counter state transition as the bind test, which was flaky in the no-host-match path (Set-SPWebApplication was called twice instead of once). Replace it with a deterministic case: the single binding already carries the certificate, so the helper must locate it through the fallback selection and stay idempotent (no Set-SPWebApplication call). The fallback selection itself is also covered directly by the Get-SPDscCentralAdminSecureBinding unit tests. Test-only change.

The issue with requiring two passes is that when you have Apply and Monitor configured, deploying the config will create the farm and when the first run completes successfully, it will switch to Monitor mode which means that it will detect the config is not in the desired state, but will never correct is. The only way to get around it is to deploy the config again (isn't very logical) or switch to Apply and Autocorrect (might not be desireable, especially when you have just started with DSC. Requires being on a more mature level of Infra-as-Code). Don't get me wrong, I do not have a solution for this scenario, just wanted to point this out! This is a bit of a Catch-22 problem. Would it be possible to leverage the SPCertificate resource in some way to trigger a provisioning step once the certificate has been uploaded? For example:
Not sure if this is possible, just thinking out loud 😄 |
Sorry, something went wrong.
When the Default zone has a single secure binding, the SecureBindings value is passed to Get-SPDscCentralAdminSecureBinding as a single object rather than a collection, so indexing with [0] returned null and the fallback selected no binding (causing an unnecessary rebind). Normalise the input with @() so the single-binding and multi-binding cases behave the same.
Pull Request (PR) description
On SharePoint Server Subscription Edition the SPFarm resource can already provision
Central Administration on a vanity HTTPS URL via CentralAdministrationUrl, but it creates
the HTTPS binding without ever associating a certificate. The binding stays cert-less, so
Central Administration is not actually reachable over HTTPS until an administrator binds the
certificate manually.
This PR closes that gap by letting SPFarm bind a managed certificate (SharePoint Certificate
Management) to the Central Administration HTTPS binding natively. Three new parameters are added
(Subscription Edition only):
into Certificate Management (e.g. via the SPCertificate resource).
(same OS guard as SPWebApplicationExtension).
Implementation details:
cert-less binding so that reading Certificate.Thumbprint on a $null certificate does not
throw a PropertyNotFoundException (which would abort the whole configuration run).
and reprovisioning of an existing one), and also rebinds in place when only the certificate
drifts — without destroying the web application.
EndEntity store and binds it via Set-SPWebApplication -Certificate -UseServerNameIndication.
It fails fast with a clear message when the certificate is not in Certificate Management (so the
user can add a DependsOn on SPCertificate), and retries a bounded number of times to absorb
the short window during which a freshly imported certificate is not yet bindable.
This mirrors the pattern already used by SPWebApplicationExtension (CertificateThumbprint,
UseServerNameIndication, AllowLegacyEncryption).
The change has been validated with unit tests and on a live SharePoint Server Subscription
Edition farm (fail-fast on a missing certificate, successful bind + verification of the resulting
binding thumbprint, and idempotent re-apply).
