## Overview

This is a module that will manage the Microsoft Windows Firewall and it's exceptions.

## Module Description

The windows_firewall module will primarily manage the state of the windows firewall
application on your windows system. Optionally it will also allow you to configure
any exceptions that you need to have in place.

## Setup

### What windows_firewall affects

* windows firewall service and corresponding Windows Registry keys
* windows registry keys and values for any defined exception rules

### Beginning with windows_firewall

The windows_firewall resource allows you to manage the firewall service itself.

```
class { 'windows_firewall': ensure => 'stopped' }
```

On Server 2012 and up, additional features are available to be managed,
including Windows firewall zones Domain, Public, and Private via types
and providers.

```
class { 'windows_firewall':
  ensure => 'running',
}
windowsfirewall { 'domain':
  ensure                              => 'present',
  default_outbound_action             => 'allow',
}
```

You may also query resources on Server 2012 and up via `puppet resource
windowsfirewall`.

Once the windows firewall is managed you may then want to start managing the rules
and exceptions within it.

```
windows_firewall::exception { 'WINRM':
  ensure       => present,
  direction    => 'in',
  action       => 'allow',
  enabled      => true,
  protocol     => 'TCP',
  local_port   => 5985,
  remote_port  => 'any',
  display_name => 'Windows Remote Management HTTP-In',
  description  => 'Inbound rule for Windows Remote Management via WS-Management. [TCP 5985]',
}
```

If you wish to remove a firewall rule, you may do so by specifying the correct
resource title for your rule, the protocol and display_name.

```
windows_firewall::exception { 'WINRM':
  ensure       => 'absent',
  protocol     => 'TCP',
  display_name => 'Windows Remote Management HTTP-In',
}
```

## Usage

### Classes and Defined Types

#### Class: `windows_firewall`

**Parameters within `windows_firewall`:**

##### `ensure`

Determines whether or not the service must be running and enabled. If not
included, the module will assume that the windows firewall service should be
running and enabled. Valid values are 'running' and 'stopped'.

#### Defined Type: `windows_firewall::exception`

**Parameters within `windows_firewall::exception`:**

##### `ensure`

Determines whether or not the firewall exception is 'present' or 'absent'

##### `direction`

Sets the direction of the exception rule, either: 'in' or 'out'.

##### `action`

Sets the action type of the exception, either: 'allow' or 'block'.

##### `enabled`

Determines whether the exception is enabled, either: 'true' or 'false'. Defaults to 'true'.

##### `protocol`

Sets the protocol to be included in the exception rule, either: 'TCP' or 'UDP'.

##### `local_port`

Defines the local port to be included in the exception for port-based exception
rules, either: an integer between 1 and 65535, a port range (two integers separated by a hyphen, a comma separated list of integers, or the string 'any'.

##### `remote_port`

Defines the remote port to be included in the exception for port-based exception
rules, either: an integer between 1 and 65535, a port range (two integers separated by a hyphen, a comma separated list of integers, or the string 'any'.

##### `remote_ip`

Specifies remote hosts that can use this rule.

##### `program`

Defines the full path to the program to be included in the exception for
program-based exception rules

##### `display_name`

Sets the Display Name of the exception rule. Defaults to the title of the resource.

##### `description`

A description of the exception to apply.

##### `allow_edge_traversal`

Specifies that the traffic for this exception traverses an edge device

**Parameters within `windowsfirewall` (Limited to 2012 and up)**

##### `ensure`

Determines whether the firewall zone is Enabled, 'present', or Disabled,
'absent'.

##### `allow_inbound_rules`

Specifies whether the firewall blocks inbound traffic or not. If set to
'False', then all inbound firewall rules will be ignored. Accepts
'True', 'False', or 'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `allow_local_firewall_rules`

Specifies whether the local firewall rules should be merged into the
effective policy along with Group Policy settings. If set to 'False',
then all rules defined by the local administrator are ignored, and only
GPO based firewall rules are applied. Accepts 'True', 'False', or
'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `allow_local_ipsec_rules`

Specifies whether the local IPsec rules should be merged into the
effective policy along with Group Policy settings. If set to 'False',
then all rules defined by the local administrator are ignored, and only
GPO based IPsec rules are applied. Accepts 'True', 'False', or
'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `allow_unicast_response_to_multicast`

Allows unicast responses to multi-cast traffic.  If set to 'False', the
computer discards unicast responses to outgoing multi-cast or broadcast
messages. Accepts 'True', 'False', or 'NotConfigured'. Defaults to
'NotConfigured'.

##### `allow_user_apps`

Specifies whether traffic from local user applications is allowed
through the firewall. Accepts 'True', 'False', or 'NotConfigured'.
Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `allow_user_ports`

Specifies whether traffic is allowed through local user ports. Accepts
'True', 'False', or 'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `default_inbound_action`

Specifies how to filter inbound traffic. 'Allow' allows all inbound
network traffic, whether or not it matches an inbound rule. Accepts
'Block', 'Allow', or 'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'Block'.

##### `default_outbound_action`

Specifies how to filter outbound traffic. 'Block' blocks outbound
network traffic that does not match an outbound rule. Accepts 'Block',
'Allow', or 'NotConfigured'.  Defaults to 'Allow'.

##### `disabled_interface_aliases`

Specifies a list of interfaces on which firewall settings are excluded.

##### `enable_stealth_mode_for_ipsec`

Enables stealth mode for IPsec traffic. If set to 'True', it will block
outgoing ICMP unreachable and TCP reset messages for a port when no
application is listening on that port. Accepts 'True', 'False', or
'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'NotConfigured'.

##### `log_allowed`

Specifies how to handle logging for allowed packets. If set to 'True',
Windows writes an entry to the log whenever an incoming or outgoing
connection is allowed by the policy. Accepts 'True', 'False', or
'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'False'.

##### `log_blocked`

Specifies how to handle logging for dropped packets. If set to 'True',
Windows writes an entry to the log whenever an incoming or outgoing
connection is prevented by the policy. Accepts 'True', 'False', or
'NotConfigured'. Defaults to 'False'.

and '32767'. Defaults to '4096'.

##### `notify_on_listen`
