Wires the S3 gateway up to the standalone IAM service so identity policies, not just bucket policies and ACLs, are enforced on the S3 data plane. The gateway authenticates SigV4 requests by calling new private derive-signing-key and resolve-identity endpoints on the IAM service instead of holding secrets itself, and evaluates identity policy through the same PolicyEvaluator path added to auth.VerifyAccess, combined with the bucket policy using explicit-deny-wins precedence. The private endpoints are served over their own mTLS listener (new iamapi/private package, genmtlscerts.sh to generate test material, and client-cert support in internal/netutil), separate from the public IAM API. As part of this the vendored aws/signer/v4 package is deleted and replaced by a pure-Go SigV4 implementation in internal/sigv4auth, which now reads canonical request data directly off the fiber.Ctx instead of reconstructing an http.Request, and is shared by both the S3 request-signing verification and the new private-endpoint signing.
DeleteObjects moves from an all-or-nothing authorization check to true partial success: VerifyObjectsAccess evaluates every object in a batch independently against both the identity policy and any object lock, so a denial or a locked object only removes that key from the batch instead of failing the whole request. It also batches the identity-policy round trip and the bucket-policy fetch once per request rather than once per object, and separates plain deletes from versioned ones since a versioned delete needs s3:DeleteObjectVersion rather than s3:DeleteObject. Object lock handling got a few correctness fixes alongside this: a bypass is now modeled as BypassNone/BypassRequested/BypassOverwrite rather than a single bool, because root's blanket ability to override a GOVERNANCE retention should only apply when the client actually asked to bypass it (DeleteObject/DeleteObjects/PutObjectRetention), not when the gateway is silently replacing a locked object via an overwrite, which needs the permission from everyone including root. Retention changes are now correctly classified as an extension (allowed under plain s3:PutObjectRetention) versus a weakening (date or mode change, which needs the bypass permission), and a COMPLIANCE lock can never be weakened by anyone regardless of permissions, matching AWS. Separately, VerifyObjectCopyAccess had a readonly-mode gap: it returned early for root/admin before ever calling VerifyAccess, so the readonly check inside VerifyAccess never ran for them on CopyObject; access checks are now ordered so the readonly gate always applies before any root/admin bypass, for copy as well as every other write path.
Bucket policies also gained Condition block support, via a new shared internal/condition package moved out of the IAM policy package since both bucket and identity policies share the same evaluation semantics. It implements the full AWS operator set — String{Equals,NotEquals,EqualsIgnoreCase,NotEqualsIgnoreCase,Like,NotLike}, Numeric{Equals,NotEquals,LessThan,LessThanEquals,GreaterThan,GreaterThanEquals}, Date{Equals,NotEquals,LessThan,LessThanEquals,GreaterThan,GreaterThanEquals}, Bool, BinaryEquals, Arn{Equals,Like,NotEquals,NotLike}, IpAddress/NotIpAddress, and Null — along with the ForAllValues/ForAnyValue set qualifiers and the IfExists modifier. A new requestConditionContext builds the per-request keys a bucket policy's Condition block can reference — aws:SourceIp, aws:SecureTransport, aws:CurrentTime, aws:EpochTime, aws:UserAgent, aws:Referer, s3:prefix, s3:delimiter, s3:max-keys, s3:x-amz-acl, s3:VersionId — following AWS's own per-action rules for which keys a given S3 operation actually populates. Identity-derived keys such as aws:PrincipalArn and aws:username are deliberately left unwired here, since the gateway has no way to know them; the standalone IAM service fills those in itself when it evaluates an identity policy.
Also added new integration test suites for S3-side IAM: s3_iam_access_control.go and s3_iam_session_access_control.go cover identity-policy enforcement and session-credential requests against real S3 operations, alongside expanded OIDC/web-identity coverage and a new runoidctests.sh runner wired into the OIDC GitHub Actions workflow.
Closes#1640
Add a standalone AWS IAM Query API implementation for managing IAM users through standard AWS SDKs and the AWS CLI.
Server usage
Start the IAM server with internal file-backed storage:
mkdir -p /tmp/versitygw-iam
./versitygw --port 127.0.0.1:7070 --access user --secret pass iam --dir /tmp/versitygw-iam
Start the IAM server with Vault KV v2 storage using AppRole:
VGW_IAM_VAULT_ROLE_SECRET=<role-secret> ./versitygw --port 127.0.0.1:7070 --access user --secret pass iam --vault-endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:8200 --vault-auth-method approle --vault-role-id <role-id> --vault-mount-path kv --vault-secret-storage-path iam
Vault authentication also supports root tokens, separate authentication and secret-storage namespaces, custom mount paths, server certificate validation, and mutual TLS client certificates.
Configure the AWS CLI credentials used by the IAM server:
export AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=user
export AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=pass
export AWS_DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
Implemented IAM actions
CreateUser creates an IAM user with an AWS-compatible ARN, generated AIDA user ID, creation timestamp, optional path, and tags. It validates usernames, paths, tag limits, reserved tag prefixes, duplicate tag keys, and existing users.
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam create-user --user-name bob
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam create-user --user-name bob --path /engineering/ --tags Key=team,Value=storage
GetUser returns a stored user or the root identity when requested without a username through the IAM Query API.
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam get-user --user-name bob
ListUsers returns users in deterministic username order and supports path filtering, marker-based pagination, and MaxItems limits.
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam list-users
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam list-users --path-prefix /engineering/ --max-items 100
UpdateUser updates the username and/or path, recalculates the user ARN, and rejects conflicts with existing users.
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam update-user --user-name bob --new-user-name robert --new-path /platform/
DeleteUser permanently removes an IAM user and returns AWS-compatible errors for missing users.
aws --endpoint-url http://127.0.0.1:7070 iam delete-user --user-name robert
IAM protocol and authentication
- Support the AWS IAM Query protocol version 2010-05-08 over GET and POST form requests.
- Return AWS-compatible XML responses, error documents, status codes, request IDs, user metadata, and pagination fields.
- Authenticate root credentials with AWS Signature Version 4 for the IAM service in us-east-1.
- Support both Authorization-header and query-string SigV4 authentication.
- Validate credential scope, signed headers, timestamps, clock skew, content length, signatures, and unsupported signature or session-token modes.
- Add IAM-specific validation and error mapping for malformed requests, invalid actions, duplicate entities, missing users, throttling, and internal failures.
Storage implementations
- Add an internal JSON-backed store using iam.json and iam.json.backup with atomic temporary-file replacement, concurrent access protection, stable ordering, pagination, and persistence across restarts.
- Add a Vault KV v2 store with one secret per user, CAS-based duplicate protection, permanent deletion, AppRole reauthentication, namespace support, configurable authentication and KV mounts, root-token authentication, and TLS/mTLS configuration.
- Introduce a common Storer interface and require exactly one storage backend to be configured.
Server and embedding support
- Register the new `versitygw iam` command with environment-variable and CLI configuration for both storage backends.
- Add `embedgw.RunIAMAPI` and `IAMConfig` for embedding the IAM service in Go applications.
Gateway-level internal packages
- Add `internal/iamstore` as a reusable generic file-backed IAM persistence engine and migrate the existing gateway internal IAM service to it.
- Add `internal/sigv4auth` for shared SigV4 header and presigned-query parsing, canonical request generation, signature verification, and structured authentication errors.
- Refactor the S3 authentication paths to use the shared SigV4 implementation while preserving S3-specific error responses.
- Add `internal/httpctx` for shared Fiber context keys and AWS-style request ID handling.
- Add `internal/routekit` for shared query, form, and header route matchers.
- Add `internal/netutil` for reusable certificate storage, hostname-aware listeners, multi-address serving, TLS listeners, and UNIX socket handling.
- Update the custom SigV4 signer to honor an explicitly supplied signed-header list so unrelated headers do not alter IAM signatures.
Testing and CI
- Add AWS IAM SDK-based integration coverage for all supported user actions, header authentication, query authentication, validation, errors, filtering, and pagination.
- Split standalone IAM tests into `versitygw test iam` and retain existing gateway IAM tests under `versitygw test gw-iam`.
- Add unit coverage for controllers, authentication, routing, storage, embedding, listeners, request matching, persistence, and signing behavior.
- Add `runiamtests.sh` to exercise internal storage over HTTP and HTTPS plus Vault storage through AppRole.
- Add a dedicated IAM functional-test workflow with a Vault service and merged runtime coverage reporting.
- Include the IAM test runner in shellcheck and add the AWS IAM SDK dependency.
Closes#1621
These changes introduce the `projectID` field in IAM user accounts. The field has been added across all IAM systems: internal, IPA, LDAP, Vault, and S3 object. Support has also been added to the admin CLI commands to create, update, and list users with the `projectID` included.
This cleans up a previous fix to #630 to use a better temp/rename
scheme thats less likely to have bad side effects.
The test for the previous issue still passes these cases, and we
will be less liekly to find a case where the file doesnt exist
or corrpted backup files.
Add a mutex to prevent reacing accounts updates from multiple
simultaneous account update requests.
This mutex will help with racing updates to the IAM data
from multiple requests to this gateway instance, but
will not help with racing updates to multiple load balanced
gateway instances. This is a limitation of the internal
IAM service. All account updates should be sent to a single
gateway instance if possible.
There were a couple of cases where parsing the stored IAM info
could return a config with a nil map that would panic in a
future assignment. So we just need to make sure there is an
initialized map when we return the config with no error set.
Use Vault as an IAM service. This is intended to be managed through
the versitygw admin commands similar to the internal iam service.
This uses the kv-v2 key/value secrets storage, and uses access key
for the key and stores the JSON serialized account data as the value.
This currently only supports roleid/rolesecret or root token
authentication methods to Vault.
The intent was to have a project id that could be set along with
user and group ids for new files/objects in the backend. However,
most filesystems don't actually associate a project with a user,
and instead have the project id inherited from parent directories.
Let's remove the project id for now, and we can always bring it
back if we have a backend that will be able to make use of it.
The local IAM accounts were being cached in memory for improved
performance, but this can be moved up a layer so that the cache
can benefit any configured IAM service.
This adds options to disable and tune TTL for cache. The balance
for the TTL is that a longer life will send requests to the IAM
service less frequently, but could be out of date with the service
accounts for that duration.
This moves the internal iam service from the posix backend so
that we can start implementing new iam services right in the auth
module.
The internal iam service has same behavior as before, but now
must be enabled with the --iam-dir cli option.
New single user service is the default when no other iam service
is selected. This just runs the gateway in single user mode with
just the root account.
