Single Sign-On (SSO)

Integrate with your identity provider:

SAML
OAuth 2.0
LDAP

saml:
  enabled: true
  idp_url: https://idp.company.com
  entity_id: deployerp
  x509_cert: ${SAML_CERT}
  attribute_mapping:
    email: EmailAddress
    name: DisplayName
    groups: Groups

Access Control

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

deployERP implements granular permissions:

Role	Permissions	Use Case
Owner	Full access to all resources	Account owner
Admin	Manage servers, instances, users	IT administrators
Developer	Deploy instances, view logs	Development team
Operator	Start/stop instances, backups	Operations team
Viewer	Read-only access	Stakeholders

Permission Matrix

Action	Owner	Admin	Developer	Operator	Viewer
Create servers	✓	✓	✗	✗	✗
Delete servers	✓	✓	✗	✗	✗
Create instances	✓	✓	✓	✗	✗
Modify instances	✓	✓	✓	✓	✗
View logs	✓	✓	✓	✓	✓
Manage backups	✓	✓	✓	✓	✗
Billing access	✓	✗	✗	✗	✗

API Key Permissions

Configure granular API key permissions:

{
  "name": "deployment-key",
  "permissions": [
    "servers:read",
    "instances:create",
    "instances:read",
    "instances:update",
    "backups:create",
    "backups:read"
  ],
  "ip_whitelist": [
    "203.0.113.0/24",
    "198.51.100.0/24"
  ],
  "expires_at": "2024-12-31T23:59:59Z"
}

Network Security

Firewall Configuration

Default firewall rules:

Port	Protocol	Source	Purpose
22	TCP	Restricted	SSH (key-based only)
80	TCP	Any	HTTP (redirects to HTTPS)
443	TCP	Any	HTTPS
5432	TCP	Internal	PostgreSQL
6379	TCP	Internal	Redis
8069	TCP	Internal	Odoo HTTP

IP Whitelisting

Restrict access by IP address:

security:
  ip_whitelist:
    enabled: true
    rules:
      - name: "Office Network"
        ips: 
          - 203.0.113.0/24
        services: ["ssh", "admin"]
      - name: "VPN"
        ips:
          - 198.51.100.0/24
        services: ["all"]
    default_action: deny

DDoS Protection

Automatic DDoS mitigation:

Rate limiting per IP
Connection throttling
SYN flood protection
Application-layer filtering
Geographic blocking (optional)

Data Encryption

Encryption at Rest

All data encrypted using industry standards:

Data Type	Encryption Method	Key Management
Database	AES-256-GCM	AWS KMS / Azure Key Vault
File storage	AES-256-CBC	Managed keys
Backups	AES-256-GCM	Customer-managed keys
Logs	AES-256-GCM	Automatic rotation

Encryption in Transit

All communications encrypted:

TLS 1.3 for web traffic
SSH for server access
TLS for database connections
HTTPS for API calls

SSL/TLS Configuration

ssl:
  # Minimum TLS version
  min_version: "TLSv1.2"
  
  # Cipher suites
  ciphers:
    - ECDHE-RSA-AES256-GCM-SHA384
    - ECDHE-RSA-AES128-GCM-SHA256
    - ECDHE-RSA-AES256-SHA384
  
  # HSTS
  hsts:
    enabled: true
    max_age: 31536000
    include_subdomains: true
    preload: true
