The `namespace` field was not included in the equality check between old and new
Vault configurations, which meant that a Vault config change that only changed
the namespace would not be detected as a change and the clients would not be
reloaded.
Also, the comparison for boolean fields such as `enabled` and
`allow_unauthenticated` was on the pointer and not the value of that pointer,
which results in spurious reloads in real config reload that is easily missed in
typical test scenarios.
Includes a minor refactor of the order of fields for `Copy` and `Merge` to match
the struct fields in hopes it makes it harder to make this mistake in the
future, as well as additional test coverage.
After a more detailed analysis of this feature, the approach taken in
PR #12449 was found to be not ideal due to poor UX (users are
responsible for setting the entity alias they would like to use) and
issues around jobs potentially masquerading itself as another Vault
entity.
Move some common Vault API data struct decoding out of the Vault client
so it can be reused in other situations.
Make Vault job validation its own function so it's easier to expand it.
Rename the `Job.VaultPolicies` method to just `Job.Vault` since it
returns the full Vault block, not just their policies.
Set `ChangeMode` on `Vault.Canonicalize`.
Add some missing tests.
Allows specifying an entity alias that will be used by Nomad when
deriving the task Vault token.
An entity alias assigns an indentity to a token, allowing better control
and management of Vault clients since all tokens with the same indentity
alias will now be considered the same client. This helps track Nomad
activity in Vault's audit logs and better control over Vault billing.
Add support for a new Nomad server configuration to define a default
entity alias to be used when deriving Vault tokens. This default value
will be used if the task doesn't have an entity alias defined.
This PR replaces use of time.After with a safe helper function
that creates a time.Timer to use instead. The new function returns
both a time.Timer and a Stop function that the caller must handle.
Unlike time.NewTimer, the helper function does not panic if the duration
set is <= 0.
* Throw away result of multierror.Append
When given a *multierror.Error, it is mutated, therefore the return
value is not needed.
* Simplify MergeMultierrorWarnings, use StringBuilder
* Hash.Write() never returns an error
* Remove error that was always nil
* Remove error from Resources.Add signature
When this was originally written it could return an error, but that was
refactored away, and callers of it as of today never handle the error.
* Throw away results of io.Copy during Bridge
* Handle errors when computing node class in test
This log line should be rare since:
1. Most tokens should be logged synchronously, not via this async
batched method. Async revocation only takes place when Vault
connectivity is lost and after leader election so no revocations are
missed.
2. There should rarely be >1 batch (1,000) tokens to revoke since the
above conditions should be brief and infrequent.
3. Interval is 5 minutes, so this log line will be emitted at *most*
once every 5 minutes.
What makes this log line rare is also what makes it interesting: due to
a bug prior to Nomad 0.11.2 some tokens may never get revoked. Therefore
Nomad tries to re-revoke them on every leader election. This caused a
massive buildup of old tokens that would never be properly revoked and
purged. Nomad 0.11.3 mostly fixed this but still had a bug in purging
revoked tokens via Raft (fixed in #8553).
The nomad.vault.distributed_tokens_revoked metric is only ticked upon
successful revocation and purging, making any bugs or slowness in the
process difficult to detect.
Logging before a potentially slow revocation+purge operation is
performed will give users much better indications of what activity is
going on should the process fail to make it to the metric.
As of 0.11.3 Vault token revocation and purging was done in batches.
However the batch size was only limited by the number of *non-expired*
tokens being revoked.
Due to bugs prior to 0.11.3, *expired* tokens were not properly purged.
Long-lived clusters could have thousands to *millions* of very old
expired tokens that never got purged from the state store.
Since these expired tokens did not count against the batch limit, very
large batches could be created and overwhelm servers.
This commit ensures expired tokens count toward the batch limit with
this one line change:
```
- if len(revoking) >= toRevoke {
+ if len(revoking)+len(ttlExpired) >= toRevoke {
```
However, this code was difficult to test due to being in a periodically
executing loop. Most of the changes are to make this one line change
testable and test it.

If a token is scheduled for revocation expires before we revoke it,
ensure that it is marked as purged in raft and is only removed from
local vault state if the purge operation succeeds.
Prior to this change, we may remove the accessor from local state but
not purge it from Raft. This causes unnecessary and churn in the next
leadership elections (and until 0.11.2 result in indefinite retries).
Establishing leadership should be very fast and never make external API
calls.
This fixes a situation where there is a long backlog of Vault tokens to
be revoked on when leadership is gained. In such case, revoking the
tokens will significantly slow down leadership establishment and slow
down processing. Worse, the revocation call does not honor leadership
`stopCh` signals, so it will not stop when the leader loses leadership.
This ensures that token revocation is idempotent and can handle when
tokens are revoked out of band.
Idempotency is important to handle some transient failures and retries.
Consider when a single token of a batch fails to be revoked, nomad would
retry revoking the entire batch; tokens already revoked should be
gracefully handled, otherwise, nomad may retry revoking the same
tokens forever.
Fixes typo in word "failed".
Fixes bug where incorrect error is printed. The old code would only
ever print a nil error, instead of the validationErr which is being
created.
Vault 1.2.0 deprecated `period` field in favor of `token_period` in auth
role:
> * Token store roles use new, common token fields for the values
> that overlap with other auth backends. `period`, `explicit_max_ttl`, and
> `bound_cidrs` will continue to work, with priority being given to the
> `token_` prefixed versions of those parameters. They will also be returned
> when doing a read on the role if they were used to provide values initially;
> however, in Vault 1.4 if `period` or `explicit_max_ttl` is zero they will no
> longer be returned. (`explicit_max_ttl` was already not returned if empty.)

This seems to be the minimum viable patch for fixing a deadlock between
establishConnection and SetConfig.
SetConfig calls tomb.Kill+tomb.Wait while holding v.lock.
establishConnection needs to acquire v.lock to exit but SetConfig is
holding v.lock until tomb.Wait exits. tomb.Wait can't exit until
establishConnect does!
```
SetConfig -> tomb.Wait
^ |
| v
v.lock <- establishConnection
```
`currentExpiration` field is accessed in multiple goroutines: Stats and
renewal, so needs locking.
I don't anticipate high contention, so simple mutex suffices.
Keep attempting to renew Vault token past locally recorded expiry, just
in case the token was renewed out of band, e.g. on another Nomad server,
until Vault returns an unrecoverable error.
Seems like the stats field is a micro-optimization that doesn't justify
the complexity it introduces. Removing it and computing the stats from
revoking field directly.
