Gates bucket listing behind an identity policy, lets browsers reach the standalone IAM API, and turns the WebUI into a dashboard for S3, IAM, or both.
**Bucket listing.** `ListBuckets` is now gated by the new `s3:ListAllMyBuckets` action, evaluated against `arn:aws:s3:::*`. The request names no bucket, so only identity policies apply — there is no resource policy to combine with, which is the same shape `CreateBucket` already had, so both now share one identity-only evaluation path. Root and admin bypass it, and backends with no identity-policy layer keep listing as before since their listing is already narrowed to the caller's own buckets. The action is IAM-only and is deliberately absent from the bucket-policy action list.
**Fixed bucket ownership.** The standalone IAM client has no per-user ownership to express — accounts are all plain users, cannot be enumerated, and access is decided by policy rather than ACL — so it now implements `auth.FixedBucketOwner` and every bucket is owned by root. Bucket creation stops resolving an owner, `ListBuckets` returns every bucket to every caller (what they may then do with one stays a per-request policy decision), and the admin `ChangeBucketOwner` reports method-not-supported. Other IAM backends are untouched.
**IAM service CORS.** `--cors-allow-origin` now applies to the `iam` command: it answers preflights and stamps the CORS headers, mirroring back the requested method and headers rather than enumerating the SigV4 header set. Without it no browser can reach the IAM API at all, so setting `--webui` without it falls back to `*` with a warning. The chart gets `iamServer.corsAllowOrigin`.
**WebUI.** New IAM pages for users, roles and OIDC providers, signing IAM/STS query-form requests directly from the browser. Navigation is capability-gated rather than role-gated: on sign-in the session probes the S3, admin and IAM endpoints independently and each page shows only what those credentials actually reach, so one build serves an IAM-only dashboard, an S3-only dashboard, and a combined one. The login page takes an optional IAM endpoint, seeded from the new `--webui-iam-gateways` (chart: `webui.iamGateways`) — never auto-detected, since the IAM service is a separate process. The WebUI can also be hosted by `versitygw iam` itself, for deployments with no S3 gateway behind it.
**The admin API is ignored once an IAM endpoint is in play.** The IAM service is then the user directory and bucket ownership is fixed, which leaves the admin API no job: the session is given no admin endpoint at all, its login field is hidden, `users.html` redirects to its IAM counterpart, and every admin-only surface stays off screen. Dashboard and Buckets remain available to any S3 session in such a deployment, running on the S3 and IAM APIs alone and surfacing each denial per action instead of redirecting.
Also fixes two WebUI bugs: embedded assets went out with a zero modification time and no `Cache-Control`, so browsers treated them as fresh for centuries and an upgraded gateway served new HTML against stale JS — they now revalidate against an ETag; and the login page's advanced-options section clipped its last field, since it animated to a height named in the stylesheet rather than the one it measures now.
**Usage**
IAM-only dashboard, served by the IAM service:
versitygw iam --port :7076 --webui :8080 --cors-allow-origin http://localhost:8080/
IAM + S3, dashboard served by the IAM service — point it at the gateway with `--webui-gateways`, and let the gateway accept the dashboard's origin:
versitygw iam --port :7076 --webui :8080 --webui-gateways http://localhost:7070/ --cors-allow-origin http://localhost:8080/
versitygw --port :7070 --cors-allow-origin http://localhost:8080/ posix /data
IAM + S3, dashboard served by the S3 gateway — point it at the IAM service with `--webui-iam-gateways`, and let the IAM service accept the dashboard's origin:
versitygw --port :7070 --webui :8080 --webui-iam-gateways http://localhost:7076/ posix /data
versitygw iam --port :7076 --cors-allow-origin http://localhost:8080/
Refactor webui so that we have a template,
webui/web/js/config.js.tmpl, instead of the /api/gateways to
retrieve the gateways listing. This also restructures the
css theme into separate common files for easier maintenance.
Implements a web interface for VersityGW with role-based access:
- Object explorer for all users to browse, upload, and download S3 objects
- Admin dashboard showing system overview and gateway status
- Admin-only user management for IAM user administration
- Admin-only bucket management for creating and configuring S3 buckets
- User authentication with automatic role-based page access
The web UI is disabled by default and only enabled with the --webui or
VGW_WEBUI_PORT env options that specify the listening address/port for
the web UI server. This preserves previous version behavior to not enable
any new ports/services unless opted in.
Login to the web UI login page with accesskey/secretkey credentials as
either user or admin account. UI functionality will auto detect login
role.
Regular users have access to the object explorer for managing files within
their accessible buckets. Admins additionally have access to user and bucket
management interfaces. The web UI is served on a separate port from the S3
server and integrates with existing S3 and Admin API endpoints.
All requests to the S3 and Admin services are signed by the browser and sent
directly to the S3/Admin service handlers. The login credentials are never
sent over the network for security purposes. This requires the S3/Admin
service to configure CORS Access-Control-Allow-Origin headers for these
requests.
