This commit splits ACL policies into more fine-grained capabilities.
This both drastically simplifies the checking code and makes it possible
to support needed workflows that are not possible with the previous
method. It is backwards compatible; policies containing a "policy"
string are simply converted to a set of capabilities matching previous
behavior.
Fixes#724 (and others).
with a new endpoint '/sys/audit-hash', which returns the given input
string hashed with the given audit backend's hash function and salt
(currently, always HMAC-SHA256 and a backend-specific salt).
In the process of adding the HTTP handler, this also removes the custom
HTTP handlers for the other audit endpoints, which were simply
forwarding to the logical system backend. This means that the various
audit functions will now redirect correctly from a standby to master.
(Tests all pass.)
Fixes#784
In order to implement this efficiently, I have introduced the concept of
"singleton" backends -- currently, 'sys' and 'cubbyhole'. There isn't
much reason to allow sys to be mounted at multiple places, and there
isn't much reason you'd need multiple per-token storage areas. By
restricting it to just one, I can store that particular mount instead of
iterating through them in order to call the appropriate revoke function.
Additionally, because revocation on the backend needs to be triggered by
the token store, the token store's salt is kept in the router and
client tokens going to the cubbyhole backend are double-salted by the
router. This allows the token store to drive when revocation happens
using its salted tokens.
up-to-date information. This allows remount to be implemented with the
same source and dest, allowing mount options to be changed on the fly.
If/when Vault gains the ability to HUP its configuration, this should
just work for the global values as well.
Need specific unit tests for this functionality.
