* Increase raft notify buffer.
Fixes https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/issues/6852.
Increasing the buffer helps recovering from leader flapping. It lowers
the chances of the flapping leader to get into a deadlock situation like
described in #6852.
Currently when using the built-in CA provider for Connect, root certificates are valid for 10 years, however secondary DCs get intermediates that are valid for only 1 year. There is no mechanism currently short of rotating the root in the primary that will cause the secondary DCs to renew their intermediates.
This PR adds a check that renews the cert if it is half way through its validity period.
In order to be able to test these changes, a new configuration option was added: IntermediateCertTTL which is set extremely low in the tests.
* Renamed structs.IntentionWildcard to structs.WildcardSpecifier
* Refactor ACL Config
Get rid of remnants of enterprise only renaming.
Add a WildcardName field for specifying what string should be used to indicate a wildcard.
* Add wildcard support in the ACL package
For read operations they can call anyAllowed to determine if any read access to the given resource would be granted.
For write operations they can call allAllowed to ensure that write access is granted to everything.
* Make v1/agent/connect/authorize namespace aware
* Update intention ACL enforcement
This also changes how intention:read is granted. Before the Intention.List RPC would allow viewing an intention if the token had intention:read on the destination. However Intention.Match allowed viewing if access was allowed for either the source or dest side. Now Intention.List and Intention.Get fall in line with Intention.Matches previous behavior.
Due to this being done a few different places ACL enforcement for a singular intention is now done with the CanRead and CanWrite methods on the intention itself.
* Refactor Intention.Apply to make things easier to follow.
• Renamed EnterpriseACLConfig to just Config
• Removed chained_authorizer_oss.go as it was empty
• Renamed acl.go to errors.go to more closely describe its contents
Ensure we close the Sentinel Evaluator so as not to leak go routines
Fix a bunch of test logging so that various warnings when starting a test agent go to the ltest logger and not straight to stdout.
Various canned ent meta types always return a valid pointer (no more nils). This allows us to blindly deref + assign in various places.
Update ACL index tracking to ensure oss -> ent upgrades will work as expected.
Update ent meta parsing to include function to disallow wildcarding.
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.
* ACL Authorizer overhaul
To account for upcoming features every Authorization function can now take an extra *acl.EnterpriseAuthorizerContext. These are unused in OSS and will always be nil.
Additionally the acl package has received some thorough refactoring to enable all of the extra Consul Enterprise specific authorizations including moving sentinel enforcement into the stubbed structs. The Authorizer funcs now return an acl.EnforcementDecision instead of a boolean. This improves the overall interface as it makes multiple Authorizers easily chainable as they now indicate whether they had an authoritative decision or should use some other defaults. A ChainedAuthorizer was added to handle this Authorizer enforcement chain and will never itself return a non-authoritative decision.
* Include stub for extra enterprise rules in the global management policy
* Allow for an upgrade of the global-management policy
* Implement leader routine manager
Switch over the following to use it for go routine management:
• Config entry Replication
• ACL replication - tokens, policies, roles and legacy tokens
• ACL legacy token upgrade
• ACL token reaping
• Intention Replication
• Secondary CA Roots Watching
• CA Root Pruning
Also added the StopAll call into the Server Shutdown method to ensure all leader routines get killed off when shutting down.
This should be mostly unnecessary as `revokeLeadership` should manually stop each one but just in case we really want these to go away (eventually).
This should cut down on test flakiness.
Problems handled:
- If you had enough parallel test cases running, the former circular
approach to handling the port block could hand out the same port to
multiple cases before they each had a chance to bind them, leading to
one of the two tests to fail.
- The freeport library would allocate out of the ephemeral port range.
This has been corrected for Linux (which should cover CI).
- The library now waits until a formerly-in-use port is verified to be
free before putting it back into circulation.
Secondary CA initialization steps are:
• Wait until the primary will be capable of signing intermediate certs. We use serf metadata to check the versions of servers in the primary which avoids needing a token like the previous implementation that used RPCs. We require at least one alive server in the primary and the all alive servers meet the version requirement.
• Initialize the secondary CA by getting the primary to sign an intermediate
When a primary dc is configured, if no existing CA is initialized and for whatever reason we cannot initialize a secondary CA the secondary DC will remain without a CA. As soon as it can it will initialize the secondary CA by pulling the primaries roots and getting the primary to sign an intermediate.
This also fixes a segfault that can happen during leadership revocation. There was a spot in the secondaryCARootsWatch that was getting the CA Provider and executing methods on it without nil checking. Under normal circumstances it wont be nil but during leadership revocation it gets nil'ed out. Therefore there is a period of time between closing the stop chan and when the go routine is actually stopped where it could read a nil provider and cause a segfault.
* Prune Servers from WAN and LAN
* cleaned up and fixed LAN to WAN
* moving things around
* force-leave remove from serfWAN, create pruneSerfWAN
* removed serfWAN remove, reduced complexity, fixed comments
* add another place to remove from serfWAN
* add nil check
* Update agent/consul/server.go

This PR introduces reloading tls configuration. Consul will now be able to reload the TLS configuration which previously required a restart. It is not yet possible to turn TLS ON or OFF with these changes. Only when TLS is already turned on, the configuration can be reloaded. Most importantly the certificates and CAs.
In order to be able to reload the TLS configuration, we need one way to generate the different configurations.
This PR introduces a `tlsutil.Configurator` which holds a `tlsutil.Config`. Afterwards it is responsible for rendering every `tls.Config`. In this particular PR I moved `IncomingHTTPSConfig`, `IncomingTLSConfig`, and `OutgoingTLSWrapper` into `tlsutil.Configurator`.
This PR is a pure refactoring - not a single feature added. And not a single test added. I only slightly modified existing tests as necessary.
`establishLeadership` invoked during leadership monitoring may use autopilot to do promotions etc. There was a race with doing that and having autopilot initialized and this fixes it.
* Add leader token upgrade test and fix various ACL enablement bugs
* Update the leader ACL initialization tests.
* Add a StateStore ACL tests for ACLTokenSet and ACLTokenGetBy* functions
* Advertise the agents acl support status with the agent/self endpoint.
* Make batch token upsert CAS’able to prevent consistency issues with token auto-upgrade
* Finish up the ACL state store token tests
* Finish the ACL state store unit tests
Also rename some things to make them more consistent.
* Do as much ACL replication testing as I can.
This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description
At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.
On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.
Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.
Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are:
A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.
So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators. This process is detailed more in the "Transitioning from Legacy to New ACL Mode" section below.
Uses struct/interface embedding with the embedded structs/interfaces being empty for oss. Also methods on the server/client types are defaulted to do nothing for OSS
* Adds client-side retry for no leader errors.
This paves over the case where the client was connected to the leader
when it loses leadership.
* Adds a configurable server RPC drain time and a fail-fast path for RPCs.
When a server leaves it gets removed from the Raft configuration, so it will
never know who the new leader server ends up being. Without this we'd be
doomed to wait out the RPC hold timeout and then fail. This makes things fail
a little quicker while a sever is draining, and since we added a client retry
AND since the server doing this has already shut down and left the Serf LAN,
clients should retry against some other server.
* Makes the RPC hold timeout configurable.
* Reorders struct members.
* Sets the RPC hold timeout default for test servers.
* Bumps the leave drain time up to 5 seconds.
* Robustifies retries with a simpler client-side RPC hold.
* Reverts untended delete.
* Changes default Raft protocol to 3.
* Changes numPeers() to report only voters.
This should have been there before, but it's more obvious that this
is incorrect now that we default the Raft protocol to 3, which puts
new servers in a read-only state while Autopilot waits for them to
become healthy.
* Fixes TestLeader_RollRaftServer.
* Fixes TestOperator_RaftRemovePeerByAddress.
* Fixes TestServer_*.
Relaxed the check for a given number of voter peers and instead do
a thorough check that all servers see each other in their Raft
configurations.
* Fixes TestACL_*.
These now just check for Raft replication to be set up, and don't
care about the number of voter peers.
* Fixes TestOperator_Raft_ListPeers.
* Fixes TestAutopilot_CleanupDeadServerPeriodic.
* Fixes TestCatalog_ListNodes_ConsistentRead_Fail.
* Fixes TestLeader_ChangeServerID and adjusts the conn pool to throw away
sockets when it sees io.EOF.
* Changes version to 1.0.0 in the options doc.
* Makes metrics test more deterministic with autopilot metrics possible.
This isn't racy, it's just a little dirty. The listen will happen and a port
will be selected and injected into the config once the Serf instance is
created, so we don't need the retry loop here.
The sessionTimers map was secured by a lock which wasn't used
properly in the tests. This lead to data races and failing tests
when accessing the length or the members of the map.
This patch adds a separate SessionTimers struct which is safe
for concurrent use and which ecapsulates the behavior of the
sessionTimers map.
When using dynamic ports for the serf clusters then
the actual bind port of the serf WAN cluster needs to
be discovered before the serf LAN cluster is started
since the serf LAN cluster announces the port of the WAN
cluster.
This patch hides the RPC handler overwrite mechanism from the
rest of the code so that it works in all cases and that there
is no cooperation required from the tested code, i.e. we can
drop a.getEndpoint().
