* s3/iam: manage roles through the IAM API, with an opt-in persistent role store
Roles could only come from the IAM config file: the S3 server pinned the
role store to memory and the embedded IAM API had no role actions, so a
role could not be created, retrusted or revoked without editing the file
and restarting every gateway.
Role store
- Read the `roleStore` key (the IAMConfig field already existed). With an
IAM config file the default stays memory; with none it is the filer, as
for OIDC providers, so zero-config clusters keep runtime-created roles.
- Roles from the IAM config file never go into a persistent role store,
which outlives the file and may be shared by S3 servers with different
files. They are served from memory beneath the store, as OIDC providers
are: a stored role of the same name takes precedence, and deleting it
restores the file's. A config-file role cannot be changed or deleted
through the API (UnmodifiableEntity), and removing one from the file
removes it at the next start. An in-memory store holds them as records,
as before. They have no creation time, so CreateDate is omitted rather
than reporting when this server started. SetRoleStore installs a store
the same way, so a store set after startup keeps the config-file roles,
as SetOIDCProviderStore does for providers.
- Watch /etc/iam/roles and drop the cached role definitions on change. The
cached filer store otherwise serves a peer's stale role for up to its 5m
TTL, which keeps a revoked trust policy in force on the other gateways.
- Role stores wrap ErrRoleNotFound for a missing role; the filer store
used to report any failed lookup as "role not found". CreateRole proceeds
only on a confirmed absence, so an unreadable store cannot let it write
over an existing role.
IAM actions
- CreateRole, GetRole, ListRoles, DeleteRole, UpdateAssumeRolePolicy,
AttachRolePolicy, DetachRolePolicy, ListAttachedRolePolicies. The reads
are allowed in read-only mode.
- A role defined in the config file is reloaded from it at every start, so
changing or deleting it through the API is refused (UnmodifiableEntity)
rather than silently reverted.
- DeleteRole with policies attached is refused (DeleteConflict), as on AWS.
- Role names follow AWS's rules ([\w+=,.@-]{1,64}); a role is stored as
<name>.json in the filer, so this also keeps a name from leaving the role
store's directory. At most 10 managed policies per role (AWS's default
quota; MaxManagedPoliciesPerUser is 10 too), LimitExceeded beyond.
- DeletePolicy is refused (DeleteConflict) while a role attaches the
policy, as it already is for users and groups: roles attach policies by
name, so a policy created later under the deleted one's name would
otherwise take effect on the role.
- Role paths other than "/" and role tags are not stored, so they are
refused rather than dropped.
Role IDs and sessions
- Roles get a unique RoleId when first stored (random, AWS AROA form),
kept across updates; a config-file role gets a stable ID derived from its
name, since it is created again at every start.
- Sessions issued through AssumeRoleWithWebIdentity, AssumeRoleWithCredentials
and AssumeRole carry the role's ID (claim "rid"), and a request under a role
whose current ID differs is denied. Resolving a session's policies by role
name let a session outlive its role: once a role was deleted, a role later
created under the same name — with a different trust policy and different
policies — revived every unexpired session of the old one with the new
role's permissions. Sessions issued before this change carry no ID and are
unaffected until they expire.
Integration test (test/s3/iam, run with `make start-services`):
TestWebIdentityWithProviderAndRoleManagedThroughIAMAPI configures an OIDC
provider, a managed policy and a role entirely through the IAM API against a
JWKS served by the test, then checks the trusted subject gets credentials
scoped to the attached policy; another subject, a token signed by another
key, an unsigned token and a token for another audience are refused; and UpdateAssumeRolePolicy moves the
trust at once.

* s3/iam: bind every role session to its role, and change roles atomically
Review follow-ups.
Session binding
- The role-ID check ran only when a session carried no policy names, and
AssumeRole embeds the role's attached policies, so those sessions kept
their permissions after the role was deleted or recreated. The check
now runs for every session carrying a role ID, before policy selection.
- A named role that cannot be resolved at issuance gets no session,
instead of one with no role ID (which nothing binds).
- A config-file role's ID is derived from its name and trust policy, not
the name alone: a different role put in the file under the same name
gets a new ID, while an unchanged role keeps its sessions across restarts.
Role writes
- RoleStore gains UpdateRole, a read-modify-write that lands only if the
role is unchanged since the read, and otherwise re-reads and retries. The
filer store uses the filer's write conditions (IF_NOT_EXISTS for a new
role, IF_ENTRY_EQUAL otherwise). CreateRole, UpdateAssumeRolePolicy and
Attach/DetachRolePolicy all go through it, so two gateways no longer
overwrite each other's changes, a change racing a delete no longer
writes the role back, and of two concurrent creates one gets
EntityAlreadyExists.
- The filer store's ListRoles pages past 1,000 entries and fails on a
broken stream instead of returning what arrived, so DeletePolicy's
attachment check sees every role. ListRoles skips a role deleted between
listing and reading it.
- CreateRole validates first; a failed write is ServiceFailure, not
InvalidInput. Any Tags.* parameter is refused, not only the first key.
- ExecuteAction's skipPersist covers the S3ApiConfiguration only; the
comment now says so. Role and OIDC provider actions write their own stores.
Each fix has a test that fails without it. Against a real filer with two
gateways, concurrent AttachRolePolicy calls lost 1-4 of 8 attachments per
run before this change and none after.

* s3/iam: one role snapshot per decision; DeleteRole is atomic; watch a custom role store path
Review follow-ups.
- Authorization evaluates the policies of the role definition the session's
binding was checked against, instead of reading the role again: a role
replaced in between cannot lend a session its policies.
- AssumeRole and AssumeRoleWithLDAPIdentity issue the session from the
definition whose trust admits the caller (IAMManager.ResolveRoleForPrincipal),
and take its ID, duration cap and embedded policies from that same
definition. A role replaced after the caller's trust check by one that does
not trust the caller now yields AccessDenied, not a session bound to the
replacement.
- A RoleUpdate that returns nil deletes the role, on the same condition as a
write: the filer store deletes with ObjectTransaction on IF_ENTRY_EQUAL,
routed and locked like the conditional CreateEntry. DeleteRole decides
against the role it deletes, so a policy attached meanwhile on another
server is a DeleteConflict, and a delete never removes a role written
after its check.
- S3 servers watch the role store's configured basePath, not only
/etc/iam/roles, so a custom path also drops peers' cached roles on change.
Each has a test that fails without it. Live against a real filer: DeleteRole
refuses while a policy is attached and removes the entry once detached; all
test/s3/iam CI stages pass.

* s3/iam: state which roles DeletePolicy's attachment check can see
RolesAttachingPolicy sees the stored roles and this server's config-file
roles. A role defined only in another server's IAM config file is invisible
to it, so a config-file role that attaches a managed policy is protected
only on the servers whose file defines it. The doc comment now says so and
how to avoid it: keep such roles in every server's file, or attach only
config-file policies to config-file roles.

* iam: note that a role store set after startup is not watched for peer changes
S3 servers build their metadata watch list once, at startup, from the role
store installed then. SetRoleStore's doc now says that a filer-backed store
installed later with a different basePath is not watched, so peers' changes
to it reach this server's cached roles only when the cache expires.

SeaweedFS S3 IAM Integration Tests
This directory contains comprehensive integration tests for the SeaweedFS S3 API with Advanced IAM (Identity and Access Management) system integration.
Overview
Important: The STS service uses a stateless JWT design where all session information is embedded directly in the JWT token. No external session storage is required.
The S3 IAM integration tests validate the complete end-to-end functionality of:
- JWT Authentication: OIDC token-based authentication with S3 API
- Policy Enforcement: Fine-grained access control for S3 operations
- Stateless Session Management: JWT-based session token validation and expiration (no external storage)
- Role-Based Access Control (RBAC): IAM roles with different permission levels
- Bucket Policies: Resource-based access control integration
- Multipart Upload IAM: Policy enforcement for multipart operations
- Contextual Policies: IP-based, time-based, and conditional access control
- Presigned URLs: IAM-integrated temporary access URL generation

Extending Tests
Adding New Test Scenarios
-
Create Test Function:
func TestS3IAMNewFeature(t *testing.T) { framework := NewS3IAMTestFramework(t) defer framework.Cleanup() // Test implementation } -
Use Test Framework:
// Create authenticated S3 client s3Client, err := framework.CreateS3ClientWithJWT("user", "TestRole") require.NoError(t, err) // Test S3 operations err = framework.CreateBucket(s3Client, "test-bucket") require.NoError(t, err) -
Add to Makefile:
test-new-feature: ## Test new feature go test -v -run TestS3IAMNewFeature ./...
Creating Custom Policies
Add policies to test_config.json:
{
"policies": {
"CustomPolicy": {
"Version": "2012-10-17",
"Statement": [
{
"Effect": "Allow",
"Action": ["s3:GetObject"],
"Resource": ["arn:aws:s3:::specific-bucket/*"],
"Condition": {
"StringEquals": {
"s3:prefix": ["allowed-prefix/"]
}
}
}
]
}
}
}
Adding Identity Providers
-
Mock Provider Setup:
// In test framework func (f *S3IAMTestFramework) setupCustomProvider() { provider := custom.NewCustomProvider("test-custom") // Configure and register } -
Configuration:
{ "providers": { "custom": { "test-custom": { "endpoint": "http://localhost:8080", "clientId": "custom-client" } } } }
Troubleshooting
Common Issues
1. Services Not Starting
# Check if ports are available
netstat -an | grep -E "(8333|8888|9333|8080)"
# Check service logs
make logs
# Try different ports
export S3_PORT=18333
make start-services
2. JWT Token Issues
# Verify OIDC mock server
curl http://localhost:8080/.well-known/openid_configuration
# Check JWT token format in logs
make logs | grep -i jwt
3. Permission Denied Errors
# Verify IAM configuration
cat test_config.json | jq '.policies'
# Check policy evaluation in logs
export LOG_LEVEL=4
make start-services
4. Test Timeouts
# Increase timeout
export TEST_TIMEOUT=60m
make test
# Run individual tests
make test-auth
Debug Mode
Start services in debug mode to inspect manually:
# Start and keep running
make debug
# In another terminal, run specific operations
aws s3 ls --endpoint-url http://localhost:8333
# Stop when done (Ctrl+C in debug terminal)
Log Analysis
# Service-specific logs
tail -f weed-s3.log # S3 API server
tail -f weed-filer.log # Filer (IAM storage)
tail -f weed-master.log # Master server
tail -f weed-volume.log # Volume server
# Filter for IAM-related logs
make logs | grep -i iam
make logs | grep -i jwt
make logs | grep -i policy
Performance Testing
Benchmarks
# Run performance benchmarks
make benchmark
# Profile memory usage
go test -bench=. -memprofile=mem.prof
go tool pprof mem.prof
Load Testing
For load testing with IAM:
-
Create Multiple Clients:
// Generate multiple JWT tokens tokens := framework.GenerateMultipleJWTTokens(100) // Create concurrent clients var wg sync.WaitGroup for _, token := range tokens { wg.Add(1) go func(token string) { defer wg.Done() // Perform S3 operations }(token) } wg.Wait() -
