Previously every Handler function was receiving the session token in the
form of a jwt string, in consequence every time we want to access the
encrypted claims of the jwt we needed to run a decryption process,
additionally we were decrypting the jwt twice, first at the session
validation then inside each handler function, this was also causing a
lot of using related to the merge between m3 and mcs
What changed:
Now we validate and decrypt the jwt once in `configure_mcs.go`, this
works for both, mcs (console) and operator sessions, and then pass the
decrypted claims to all the functions that need it, so no further token
validation or decryption is need it.
`MCS` will authenticate against `Mkube`using bearer tokens via HTTP
`Authorization` header. The user will provide this token once
in the login form, MCS will validate it against Mkube (list tenants) and
if valid will generate and return a new MCS sessions
with encrypted claims (the user Service account token will be inside the
JWT in the data field)
Kubernetes
The provided `JWT token` corresponds to the `Kubernetes service account`
that `Mkube` will use to run tasks on behalf of the
user, ie: list, create, edit, delete tenants, storage class, etc.
Development
If you are running mcs in your local environment and wish to make
request to `Mkube` you can set `MCS_M3_HOSTNAME`, if
the environment variable is not present by default `MCS` will use
`"http://m3:8787"`, additionally you will need to set the
`MCS_MKUBE_ADMIN_ONLY=on` variable to make MCS display the Mkube UI
Extract the Service account token and use it with MCS
For local development you can use the jwt associated to the `m3-sa`
service account, you can get the token running
the following command in your terminal:
```
kubectl get secret $(kubectl get serviceaccount m3-sa -o
jsonpath="{.secrets[0].name}") -o jsonpath="{.data.token}" | base64
--decode
```
Then run the mcs server
```
MCS_M3_HOSTNAME=http://localhost:8787 MCS_MKUBE_ADMIN_ONLY=on ./mcs
server
```
Self-signed certificates and Custom certificate authority for Mkube
If Mkube uses TLS with a self-signed certificate, or a certificate
issued by a custom certificate authority you can add those
certificates usinng the `MCS_M3_SERVER_TLS_CA_CERTIFICATE` env variable
````
MCS_M3_SERVER_TLS_CA_CERTIFICATE=cert1.pem,cert2.pem,cert3.pem ./mcs
server

Remove ping check and instead use a context that will be canceled
if it the client sends a close message or an error occurs on reading.
The context will be used to cancel all functions using it.
Uses a similar approach as Trace and Console Logs by using
websockets. It also includes the integration with the UI which
needs 3 input fields that are sent as query parameters.
Uses same behavior as the Trace feature using websockets.
For displaying it on the UI it needed to handle colors
since the log message comes with unicode colors embbeded
on the message.
Also a special case when an error log comes needed to be handled
to show all sources of the error.
Trace Api uses websocket to send trace information, a
valid jwt token needs to be sent either on the header
or as a cookie of the ws request to start.
Three goroutines are needed to ensure communication
if read hearbeat fails all trace should stop by cancelling
the context. WaitGroups are needed to ensure all
goroutines finish gracefully.
