This is a collection of refactors that make upcoming PRs easier to digest.
The main change is the introduction of the authmethod.Identity struct.
In the one and only current auth method (type=kubernetes) all of the
trusted identity attributes are both selectable and projectable, so they
were just passed around as a map[string]string.
When namespaces were added, this was slightly changed so that the
enterprise metadata can also come back from the login operation, so
login now returned two fields.
Now with some upcoming auth methods it won't be true that all identity
attributes will be both selectable and projectable, so rather than
update the login function to return 3 pieces of data it seemed worth it
to wrap those fields up and give them a proper name.
Main Changes:
• method signature updates everywhere to account for passing around enterprise meta.
• populate the EnterpriseAuthorizerContext for all ACL related authorizations.
• ACL resource listings now operate like the catalog or kv listings in that the returned entries are filtered down to what the token is allowed to see. With Namespaces its no longer all or nothing.
• Modified the acl.Policy parsing to abstract away basic decoding so that enterprise can do it slightly differently. Also updated method signatures so that when parsing a policy it can take extra ent metadata to use during rules validation and policy creation.
Secondary Changes:
• Moved protobuf encoding functions out of the agentpb package to eliminate circular dependencies.
• Added custom JSON unmarshalers for a few ACL resource types (to support snake case and to get rid of mapstructure)
• AuthMethod validator cache is now an interface as these will be cached per-namespace for Consul Enterprise.
• Added checks for policy/role link existence at the RPC API so we don’t push the request through raft to have it fail internally.
• Forward ACL token delete request to the primary datacenter when the secondary DC doesn’t have the token.
• Added a bunch of ACL test helpers for inserting ACL resource test data.
