I've observed failures due to "missing" the peer nodes by about 1
second. Adding 5 second to the existing delay should cover most false
negative test results.
Fixes#3320.
If `auth::password_authenticator` also creates `system_auth.roles` and
we fix the existence check for the default superuser in
`auth::standard_role_manager` to only search for the columns that it
owns (instead of the column itself), then both modules' initialization
are independent of one another.
Fixes#3319.
Apache Cassandra also prints at the `info` level. This change prevents
tasks which we expect to be rescheduled from failing tests and scaring
users.
A good example of this importance of this change is when queries with a
quorum consistency level (for the default superuser) fail because a
quorum is not available. We will try again in this case, and this should
not cause integration tests to fail.
Some modules of `auth` create a default superuser if it does not already
exist.
The existence check is through a SELECT query with quorum consistency
level. If the schema for the applicable tables has not yet propagated to
a peer node at the time that it processes this query, then the
`storage_proxy` will print an error message to the log and the query
will be retried.
Eventually, the schema will propagate and the default superuser will be
created. However, the error message in the log causes integration tests
to fail (and is somewhat annoying).
Now, prior to querying for existing data, we wait for all gossip peers
to have the same schema version as we do.
Fixes#2852.
When a table, keyspace, or role is created, the creator now is
automatically granted all applicable permissions on the object.
This behavior is consistent with Apache Cassandra.
Fixes#3216.
Instead of some functions in `allow_all_authorizer` throwing exceptions
and others being silently pass-through, we consistently return exception
futures with `auth::unsupported_authorization_operation`. These errors
are converted to `invalid_request_exception` in the CQL error and
ignored where appropriate in the auth subsystem.
This patch came about because of an important (and obvious, in
hindsight) realization: instances of the authorizer, role manager, and
authenticator are clients for access-control state and not the state
itself. This is reflected directly in Scylla: `auth::service` is
sharded across cores and this is possible because each instance queries
and modifies the same global state.
To give more examples, the value of an instance of `std::vector<int>` is
the structure of the container and its contents. The value of `int
file_descriptor` is an identifier for state maintained elsewhere.
Having watched an excellent talk by Herb Sutter [1] and having read an
informative blog post [2], it's clear that a member function marked
`const` communicates that the observable state of the instance is not
modified.
Thus, the member functions of the role-manager, authenticator, and
authorizer clients should not be marked `const` only if the state of the
client itself is observably changed. By this principle, member functions
which do not change the state of the client, but which mutate the global
state the client is associated with (for example, by creating a role)
are marked `const`.
The `start` (and `stop`) functions of the client have the dual role of
initializing (finalizing) both the local client state and the
external state; they are not marked `const`.

Adds extension points to schema/sstables to enable hooking in
stuff, like, say, something that modifies how sstable disk io
works. (Cough, cough, *encryption*)
Extensions are processed as property keywords in CQL. To add
an extension, a "module" must register it into the extensions
object on boot time. To avoid globals (and yet don't),
extensions are reachable from config (and thus from db).
Table/view tables already contain an extension element, so
we utilize this to persist config.
schema_tables tables/views from mutations now require a "context"
object (currently only extensions, but abstracted for easier
further changes.
Because of how schemas currently operate, there is a super
lame workaround to allow "schema_registry" access to config
and by extension extensions. DB, upon instansiation, calls
a thread local global "init" in schema_registry and registers
the config. It, in turn, can then call table_from_mutations
as required.
Includes the (modified) patch to encapsulate compression
into objects, mainly because it is nice to encapsulate, and
isolate a little.

Previously, when a table or keyspace was dropped, the
authorizer (through a `migration_listener`) automatically dropped all
permissions granted on that resource.
Likewise, when a role is granted permissions and the role is dropped,
all permissions granted to the role are dropped.
In this change, we now treat role resources just like table and keyspace
resources: if a permission is granted on a role (like "GRANT AUTHORIZE
ON ROLE qa TO phil") and the "qa" role is dropped, then all permissions
on the "qa" role resource are also dropped.
This change allows for seamless migration of the legacy users metadata
to the new role-based metadata tables. This process is summarized in
`docs/migrating-from-users-to-roles.md`.
In general, if any nondefault metadata exists in the new tables, then
no migration happens. If, in this case, legacy metadata still exists
then a warning is written to the log.
If no nondefault metadata exists in the new tables and the legacy tables
exist, then each node will copy the data from the legacy tables to the
new tables, performing transformations as necessary. An informational
message is written to the log when the migration process starts, and
when the process ends. During the process of copying, data is
overwritten so that multiple nodes racing to migrate data do not
conflict.
Since Apache Cassandra's auth. schema uses the same table for managing
roles and authentication information, some useful functions in
`roles-metadata.hh` have been added to avoid code duplication.
Because a superuser should be able to drop the legacy users tables from
`system_auth` once the cluster has migrated to roles and is functioning
correctly, we remove the restriction on altering anything in the
"system_auth" keyspace. Individual tables in `system_auth` are still
protected later in the function.
When a cluster is upgrading from one that does not support roles to one
that does, some nodes will be running old code which accesses old
metadata and some will be running new code which access new metadata.
With the help of the gossiper `feature` mechanism, clients connecting to
upgraded nodes will be notified (through code in the relevant CQL
statements) that modifications are not allowed until the entire cluster
has upgraded.
auth: Decouple authorization and role management
Access control in Scylla consists of three main modules: authentication,
authorization, and role-management.
Each of these modules is intended to be interchangeable with alternative
implementations. The `auth::service` class composes these modules
together to perform all access-control functionality, including caching.
This architecture implies two main properties of the individual
access-control modules:
- Independence of modules. An implementation of authentication should
have no dependence or knowledge of authorization or role-management,
for example.
- Simplicity of implementing the interface. Functionality that is common
to all implementations should not have to be duplicated in each
implementation. The abstract interface for a module should capture
only the differences between particular implementations.
Previously, the authorization interface depended on an instance of
`auth::service` for certain operations, since it required aggregation
over all the roles granted to a particular role or required checking if
a given role had superuser.
This change decouples authorization entirely from role-management: the
authorizer now manages only permissions granted directly to a role, and
not those inherited through other roles.
When a query needs to be authorized, `auth::service::get_permissions`
first uses the role manager to check if the role has superuser. Then, it
aggregates calls to `auth::authorizer::authorize` for each role granted
to the role (again, from the role-manager) to determine the sum-total
permission set. This information is cached for future queries.
This structure allows for easier error handling and
management (something I hope to improve in the future for both the
authorizer and authenticator interfaces), easier system testing, easier
implementation of the abstract interfaces, and clearer system
boundaries (so the code is easier to grok).
Some authorizers, like the "TransitionalAuthorizer", grant permissions
to anonymous users. Therefore, we could not unconditionally authorize an
empty permission set in `auth::service` for anonymous users. To account
for this, the interface of the authorizer has changed to accept an
optional name in `authorize`.
One additional notable change to the authorizer is the
`auth::authorizer::list`: previously, the filtering happened at the CQL
query layer and depended on the roles granted to the role in question.
I've changed the function to simply query for all roles and I do the
filtering in `auth::system` in-memory with the STL. This was necessary
to allow the authorizer to be decoupled from role-management. This
function is only called for LIST PERMISSIONS (so performance is not a
concern), and it significantly reduces demand on the implementation.
Finally, we unconditionally create a user in `cql_test_env` since
authorization requires its existence.
The fixed dtests which only failed due to differences in wording and
grammar for error messages are:
- altering_nonexistent_user_throws_exception_test
- cant_create_existing_user_test
- dropping_nonexistent_user_throws_exception_test
- users_cant_alter_their_superuser_status_test
Previously, a "data" auth. resource knew how to check it's own existence by
accessing a global variable.
This patch accomplishes two things: it adds existence checking to all
kinds of resources, and moves these checks outside of `auth::resource`
itself and into `auth::service` (so that global variables are no longer
accessed).
According to the Seastar convention, a parameter passed to a function
taking a reference parameter must live for the duration of the execution
of the returned future.
When possible, variables are statically allocated. When this is not
possible, we use `do_with`.
This has the dual benefit of not enforcing copying on implementations of
the abstract interface and also limiting unnecessary copies.
As usual with Seastar, we follow the convention that a reference
parameter to a function is assumed valid for the duration of the
`future` that is returned. `do_with` helps here.
By adding some constants for root resources, we can avoid using
`seastar::do_with` at some call-sites involving `resource` instances.
All authorization checking lives in the CQL layer. The individual
authenticator, authorizer, and role-manager enforce no access-checks.
It may be a good idea to move these checks a level downward in the
future for ease of testing, but for now we aim for consistency.
While it's undefined behavior to pass an unsupported option to a
specific authenticator directly, the `auth::service` layer will check
options and throw this exception. It is turned into a
`invalid_request_exception` by the CQL layer.
The motivation behind this change is the idea that constructing a new
instance of an object is the job of the constructor.
One big benefit of this structure (with the addition of helpers for
convenience) is that calls for emplacing instances (like
`std::make_shared`, or `std::vector::emplace_back`) work without any
difficulty. This would not be true for static construction functions.
According to previous discussions on the mailing-list with Avi, using
both has the benefits of making virtual functions stand out and also
warning about functions which unintentionally do not override.
All we require are value semantics.
`client_state` still stores `authenticated_user` in a `shared_ptr`, but
the behavior of that class is complex enough to warrant its own
discussion/design/refactor.
