Failed requests due to API client errors are to be marked as DEBUG.
The Error log level should be reserved to signal problems with the
cluster and are actionable for nomad system operators. Logs due to
misbehaving API clients don't represent a system level problem and seem
spurius to nomad maintainers at best. These log messages can also be
attack vectors for deniel of service attacks by filling servers disk
space with spurious log messages.
Introduce limits to prevent unauthorized users from exhausting all
ephemeral ports on agents:
* `{https,rpc}_handshake_timeout`
* `{http,rpc}_max_conns_per_client`
The handshake timeout closes connections that have not completed the TLS
handshake by the deadline (5s by default). For RPC connections this
timeout also separately applies to first byte being read so RPC
connections with TLS enabled have `rpc_handshake_time * 2` as their
deadline.
The connection limit per client prevents a single remote TCP peer from
exhausting all ephemeral ports. The default is 100, but can be lowered
to a minimum of 26. Since streaming RPC connections create a new TCP
connection (until MultiplexV2 is used), 20 connections are reserved for
Raft and non-streaming RPCs to prevent connection exhaustion due to
streaming RPCs.
All limits are configurable and may be disabled by setting them to `0`.
This also includes a fix that closes connections that attempt to create
TLS RPC connections recursively. While only users with valid mTLS
certificates could perform such an operation, it was added as a
safeguard to prevent programming errors before they could cause resource
exhaustion.
Fixes#3697
The existing code and test case only covered the leader behavior. When
querying against non-leaders the error has an "rpc error: " prefix.
To provide consistency in HTTP error response I also strip the "rpc
error: " prefix for 403 responses as they offer no beneficial additional
information (and in theory disclose a tiny bit of data to unauthorized
users, but it would be a pretty weird bit of data to use in a malicious
way).
* Allow server TLS configuration to be reloaded via SIGHUP
* dynamic tls reloading for nomad agents
* code cleanup and refactoring
* ensure keyloader is initialized, add comments
* allow downgrading from TLS
* initalize keyloader if necessary
* integration test for tls reload
* fix up test to assert success on reloaded TLS configuration
* failure in loading a new TLS config should remain at current
Reload only the config if agent is already using TLS
* reload agent configuration before specific server/client
lock keyloader before loading/caching a new certificate
* introduce a get-or-set method for keyloader
* fixups from code review
* fix up linting errors
* fixups from code review
* add lock for config updates; improve copy of tls config
* GetCertificate only reloads certificates dynamically for the server
* config updates/copies should be on agent
* improve http integration test
* simplify agent reloading storing a local copy of config
* reuse the same keyloader when reloading
* Test that server and client get reloaded but keep keyloader
* Keyloader exposes GetClientCertificate as well for outgoing connections
