I suspect one problem was that we set structs.IntermediateCertRenewInterval to 1ms, which meant
that in some cases the intermediate could renew before we stored the original value.
Another problem was that the 'wait for intermediate' loop was calling the provider.ActiveIntermediate,
but the comparison needs to use the RPC endpoint to accurately represent a user request. So
changing the 'wait for' to use the state store ensures we don't race.
Also moves the patching into a separate function.
Removes the addition of ca.CertificateTimeDriftBuffer as part of calculating halfTime. This was added
in a previous commit to attempt to fix the flake, but it did not appear to fix the problem. Adding the
time here was making the tests fail when using the shared patch
function. It's not clear to me why, but there's no reason we should be
including this time in the halfTime calculation.
The test added in this commit shows the problem. Previously the
SigningKeyID was set to the RootCert not the local leaf signing cert.
This same bug was fixed in two other places back in 2019, but this last one was
missed.
While fixing this bug I noticed I had the same few lines of code in 3
places, so I extracted a new function for them.
There would be 4 places, but currently the InitializeCA flow sets this
SigningKeyID in a different way, so I've left that alone for now.
While working on the CA system it is important to be able to run all the
tests related to the system, without having to wait for unrelated tests.
There are many slow and unrelated tests in agent/consul, so we need some
way to filter to only the relevant tests.
This PR renames all the CA system related tests to start with either
`TestCAMananger` for tests of internal operations that don't have RPC
endpoint, or `TestConnectCA` for tests of RPC endpoints. This allows us
to run all the test with:
go test -run 'TestCAMananger|TestConnectCA' ./agent/consul
The test naming follows an undocumented convention of naming tests as
follows:
Test[<struct name>_]<function name>[_<test case description>]
I tried to always keep Primary/Secondary at the end of the description,
and _Vault_ has to be in the middle because of our regex to run those
tests as a separate CI job.
You may notice some of the test names changed quite a bit. I did my best
to identify the underlying method being tested, but I may have been
slightly off in some cases.
As a method on the struct type this would not be safe to call without first checking
c.isIntermediateUsedToSignLeaf.
So for now, move this logic to the CAMananger, so that it is always correct.
We were not adding the local signing cert to the CARoot. This commit
fixes that bug, and also adds support for fixing existing CARoot on
upgrade.
Also update the tests for both primary and secondary to be more strict.
Check the SigningKeyID is correct after initialization and rotation.
In d2ab767fef21244e9fe3b9887ea70fc177912381 raftApply was changed to handle this check in
a single place, instad of having every caller check it. It looks like these few places
were missed when I did that clean up.
This commit removes the remaining resp.(error) checks, since they are all no-ops now.
This function is only ever called from operations that have already acquired the state lock, so checking
the value of state can never fail.
This change is being made in preparation for splitting out a separate type for the secondary logic. The
state can't easily be shared, so really only the expored top-level functions should acquire the 'state lock'.
This commit removes the actingSecondaryCA field, and removes the stateLock around it. This field
was acting as a proxy for providerRoot != nil, so replace it with that check instead.
The two methods which called secondarySetCAConfigured already set the state, so checking the
state again at this point will not catch runtime errors (only programming errors, which we can catch with tests).
In general, handling state transitions should be done on the "entrypoint" methods where execution starts, not
in every internal method.
This is being done to remove some unnecessary references to c.state, in preparations for extracting
types for primary/secondary.
This makes it easier to fake, which will allow me to use the ConsulProvider as
an 'external PKI' to test a customer setup where the actual root CA is not
the root we use for the Consul CA.
Replaces a call to the state store to fetch the clusterID with the
clusterID field already available on the built-in provider.
Previously secondaryInitialize would return nil in this case, which prevented the
deferred initialize from happening, and left the CA in an uninitialized state until a config
update or root rotation.
To fix this I extracted the common parts into the delegate implementation. However looking at this
again, it seems like the handling in secondaryUpdateRoots is impossible, because that function
should never be called before the secondary is initialzied. I beleive we can remove some of that
logic in a follow up.
This function is only run when the CAManager is a primary. Extracting this function
makes it clear which parts of UpdateConfiguration are run only in the primary and
also makes the cleanup logic simpler. Instead of both a defer and a local var we
can call the cleanup function in two places.
This commit renames functions to use a consistent pattern for identifying the functions that
can only be called when the Manager is run as the primary or secondary.
This is a step toward eventually creating separate types and moving these methods off of CAManager.

raftApply was removed so ApplyCARequest needs to handle all the possible operations
Also set the providerShim to use the mock provider.
other changes are small test improvements that were necessary to debug the failures.
and small refactor to getCAProvider so that GoLand is less confused about what it is doing.
Previously it was reporting that the for condition was always true, which was not the case.
After moving ca.ConsulProviderStateDelegate into the interface we now
have the ApplyCARequest method which does the same thing. Use this more
specific method instead of raftApply.
With an optional interface that providers can use to indicate if they
use an intermediate cert in the primary DC.
This removes the need to look up the provider config when renewing the
intermediate.
The bulk of this commit is moving the LeaderRoutineManager from the agent/consul package into its own package: lib/gort. It also got a renaming and its Start method now requires a context. Requiring that context required updating a whole bunch of other places in the code.
This fixes an issue where leaf certificates issued in primary
datacenters using Vault as a Connect CA would be reissued very
frequently (every ~20 seconds) because the logic meant to detect root
rotation was errantly triggering.
The hash of the rootCA was being compared against a hash of the
intermediateCA and always failing. This doesn't apply to the Consul
built-in CA provider because there is no intermediate in use in the
primary DC.
This is reminiscent of #6513
This allows setting ForceWithoutCrossSigning when reconfiguring the CA
for any provider, in order to forcibly move to a new root in cases where
the old provider isn't reachable or able to cross-sign for whatever
reason.
After fixing that bug I uncovered a couple more:
Fix an issue where we might try to cross sign a cert when we never had a valid root.
Fix a potential issue where reconfiguring the CA could cause either the Vault or AWS PCA CA providers to delete resources that are still required by the new incarnation of the CA.
