Renames all variables for acl.Authorizer to use `authz`. Previously some
places used `rule` which I believe was an old name carried over from the
legacy ACL system.
A couple places also used authorizer.
This commit also removes another couple of authorizer nil checks that
are no longer necessary.
Follow up to https://github.com/hashicorp/consul/pull/10737#discussion_r680134445
Move the check for the Intention.DestinationName into the Authorizer to remove the
need to check what kind of Authorizer is being used.
It sounds like this check is only for legacy ACLs, so is probably just a safeguard
.
CatalogDestinationsOnly is a passthrough that would enable dialing
addresses outside of Consul's catalog. However, when this flag is set to
true only _connect_ endpoints for services can be dialed.
This flag is being renamed to signal that non-Connect endpoints can't be
dialed by transparent proxies when the value is set to true.
Previously we would return an error if duplicate paths were specified.
This could lead to problems in cases where a user has the same path,
say /healthz, on two different ports.
This validation was added to signal a potential misconfiguration.
Instead we will only check for duplicate listener ports, since that is
what would lead to ambiguity issues when generating xDS config.
In the future we could look into using a single listener and creating
distinct filter chains for each path/port.
The prior solution to call reply.Reset() aged poorly since newer fields
were added to the reply, but not added to Reset() leading serial
blocking query loops on the server to blend replies.
This could manifest as a service-defaults protocol change from
default=>http not reverting back to default after the config entry
reponsible was deleted.
* Save exposed HTTP or GRPC ports to the agent's store
* Add those the health checks API so we can retrieve them from the API
* Change redirect-traffic command to also exclude those ports from inbound traffic redirection when expose.checks is set to true.
Also fixes a bug with listing kind=mesh config entries. ValidateConfigEntryKind was only being used by
the List endpoint, and was yet another place where we have to enumerate all the kinds.
This commit removes ValidateConfigEntryKind and uses MakeConfigEntry instead. This change removes
the need to maintain two separate functions at the cost of creating an instance of the config entry which will be thrown away immediately.

Previously we would associate the address of a discovery chain target
with the discovery chain's filter chain. This was broken for a few reasons:
- If the upstream is a virtual service, the client proxy has no way of
dialing it because virtual services are not targets of their discovery
chains. The targets are distinct services. This is addressed by watching
the endpoints of all upstream services, not just their discovery chain
targets.
- If multiple discovery chains resolve to the same target, that would
lead to multiple filter chains attempting to match on the target's
virtual IP. This is addressed by only matching on the upstream's virtual
IP.
NOTE: this implementation requires an intention to the redirecting
virtual service and not just to the final destination. This is how
we can know that the virtual service is an upstream to watch.
A later PR will look into traversing discovery chains when computing
upstreams so that intentions are only required to the discovery chain
targets.
No config entry needs a Kind field. It is only used to determine the Go type to
target. As we introduce new config entries (like this one) we can remove the kind field
and have the GetKind method return the single supported value.
In this case (similar to proxy-defaults) the Name field is also unnecessary. We always
use the same value. So we can omit the name field entirely.
This config entry is being renamed primarily because in k8s the name
cluster could be confusing given that the config entry applies across
federated datacenters.
Additionally, this config entry will only apply to Consul as a service
mesh, so the more generic "cluster" name is not needed.
This way we avoid serializing these when empty. Otherwise users of the
latest version of the api submodule cannot interact with older versions
of Consul, because a new api client would send keys that the older Consul
doesn't recognize yet.
The zero value of these flags was already being excluded in the xDS
generation of circuit breaker/outlier detection config.
See: makeThresholdsIfNeeded and ToOutlierDetection.
This PR replaces the original boolean used to configure transparent
proxy mode. It was replaced with a string mode that can be set to:
- "": Empty string is the default for when the setting should be
defaulted from other configuration like config entries.
- "direct": Direct mode is how applications originally opted into the
mesh. Proxy listeners need to be dialed directly.
- "transparent": Transparent mode enables configuring Envoy as a
transparent proxy. Traffic must be captured and redirected to the
inbound and outbound listeners.
This PR also adds a struct for transparent proxy specific configuration.
Initially this is not stored as a pointer. Will revisit that decision
before GA.
* add http2 ping checks
* fix test issue
* add h2ping check to config resources
* add new test and docs for h2ping
* fix grammatical inconsistency in H2PING documentation
* resolve rebase conflicts, add test for h2ping tls verification failure
* api documentation for h2ping
* update test config data with H2PING
* add H2PING to protocol buffers and update changelog
* fix typo in changelog entry
This is needed in case the client proxy is in TransparentProxy mode.
Typically they won't have explicit configuration for every upstream, so
this ensures the settings can be applied to all of them when generating
xDS config.
Some TLS servers require SNI, but the Golang HTTP client doesn't
include it in the ClientHello when connecting to an IP address. This
change adds a new TLSServerName field to health check definitions to
optionally set it. This fixes#9473.
ResolveServiceConfig is called by service manager before the proxy
registration is in the catalog. Therefore we should pass proxy
registration flags in the request rather than trying to fetch
them from the state store (where they may not exist yet).
This is done because after removing ID and NodeName from
ServiceConfigRequest we will no longer know whether a request coming in
is for a Consul client earlier than v1.10.
Previously this type was defined in structs, but unlike the other types in structs this type
is not used by RPC requests. By moving it to state we can better indicate that this is not
an API type, but part of the state implementation.
I added this recently without realizing that the method already existed and was named
NamespaceOrEmpty. Replace all calls to GetNamespace with NamespaceOrEmpty or NamespaceOrDefault
as appropriate.
Previous to this commit, the API response would include Gateway
Addresses in the form `domain.name.:8080`, which due to the addition of
the port is probably not the expected response.
This commit rightTrims any `.` characters from the end of the domain
before formatting the address to include the port resulting in
`domain.name:8080`
* A GET of the /acl/auth-method/:name endpoint returns the fields
MaxTokenTTL and TokenLocality, while a LIST (/acl/auth-methods) does
not.
The list command returns a filtered subset of the full set. This is
somewhat deliberate, so that secrets aren't shown, but the TTL and
Locality fields aren't (IMO) security critical, and it is useful for
the front end to be able to show them.
For consistency these changes mirror the 'omit empty' and string
representation choices made for the GET call.
This includes changes to the gRPC and API code in the client.
The new output looks similar to this
curl 'http://localhost:8500/v1/acl/auth-methods' | jq '.'

The field was not being included in the cache info key. This would result in a DNS request for

not be the same.

Move enterpriseMetaField to an oss file so that we can change it in enterprise.
These types are used as values (not pointers) in other structs. Using a pointer receiver causes
problems when the value is printed. fmt will not call the String method if it is passed a value
and the String method has a pointer receiver. By using a value receiver the correct string is printed.
Also remove some unused methods.
This can happen when one other node in the cluster such as a client is unable to communicate with the leader server and sees it as failed. When that happens its failing status eventually gets propagated to the other servers in the cluster and eventually this can result in RPCs returning “No cluster leader” error.
That error is misleading and unhelpful for determing the root cause of the issue as its not raft stability but rather and client -> server networking issue. Therefore this commit will add a new error that will be returned in that case to differentiate between the two cases.
Previously the tokens would fail to insert into the secondary's state
store because the AuthMethod field of the ACLToken did not point to a
known auth method from the primary.
The Intention.Apply RPC is quite large, so this PR attempts to break it down into smaller functions and dissolves the pre-config-entry approach to the breakdown as it only confused things.
Makes Payload a type with FilterByKey so that Payloads can implement
filtering by key. With this approach we don't need to expose a Namespace
field on Event, and we don't need to invest micro formats or require a
bunch of code to be aware of exactly how the key field is encoded.
Previously config entries sharing a kind & name but in different
namespaces could occasionally cause "stuck states" in replication
because the namespace fields were ignored during the differential
comparison phase.
Example:
Two config entries written to the primary:
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
Under the covers these both get saved to memdb, so they are sorted by
all 3 components (kind,name,namespace) during natural iteration. This
means that before the replication code does it's own incomplete sort,
the underlying data IS sorted by namespace ascending (bar comes before
foo).
After one pass of replication the primary and secondary datacenters have
the same set of config entries present. If
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" were to be deleted, then things get
weird. Before replication the two sides look like:
primary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
secondary: [
kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar
kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo
]
The differential comparison phase walks these two lists in sorted order
and first compares "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" vs
"kind=A,name=web,namespace=bar" and falsely determines they are the SAME
and are thus cause an update of "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo". Then it
compares "<nothing>" with "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" and falsely
determines that the latter should be DELETED.
During reconciliation the deletes are processed before updates, and so
for a brief moment in the secondary "kind=A,name=web,namespace=foo" is
erroneously deleted and then immediately restored.
Unfortunately after this replication phase the final state is identical
to the initial state, so when it loops around again (rate limited) it
repeats the same set of operations indefinitely.
Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
- Upgrade the ConfigEntry.ListAll RPC to be kind-aware so that older
copies of consul will not see new config entries it doesn't understand
replicate down.
- Add shim conversion code so that the old API/CLI method of interacting
with intentions will continue to work so long as none of these are
edited via config entry endpoints. Almost all of the read-only APIs will
continue to function indefinitely.
- Add new APIs that operate on individual intentions without IDs so that
the UI doesn't need to implement CAS operations.
- Add a new serf feature flag indicating support for
intentions-as-config-entries.
- The old line-item intentions way of interacting with the state store
will transparently flip between the legacy memdb table and the config
entry representations so that readers will never see a hiccup during
migration where the results are incomplete. It uses a piece of system
metadata to control the flip.
- The primary datacenter will begin migrating intentions into config
entries on startup once all servers in the datacenter are on a version
of Consul with the intentions-as-config-entries feature flag. When it is
complete the old state store representations will be cleared. We also
record a piece of system metadata indicating this has occurred. We use
this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time the leader starts
up.
- The secondary datacenters continue to run the old intentions
replicator until all servers in the secondary DC and primary DC support
intentions-as-config-entries (via serf flag). Once this condition it met
the old intentions replicator ceases.
- The secondary datacenters replicate the new config entries as they are
migrated in the primary. When they detect that the primary has zeroed
it's old state store table it waits until all config entries up to that
point are replicated and then zeroes its own copy of the old state store
table. We also record a piece of system metadata indicating this has
occurred. We use this metadata to skip ALL of this code the next time
the leader starts up.
This adds a new very tiny memdb table and corresponding raft operation
for updating a very small effective map[string]string collection of
"system metadata". This can persistently record a fact about the Consul
state machine itself.
The first use of this feature will come in a later PR.
Whenever an upsert/deletion of a config entry happens, within the open
state store transaction we speculatively test compile all discovery
chains that may be affected by the pending modification to verify that
the write would not create an erroneous scenario (such as splitting
traffic to a subset that did not exist).
If a single discovery chain evaluation references two config entries
with the same kind and name in different namespaces then sometimes the
upsert/deletion would be falsely rejected. It does not appear as though
this bug would've let invalid writes through to the state store so the
correction does not require a cleanup phase.
During gossip encryption key rotation it would be nice to be able to see if all nodes are using the same key. This PR adds another field to the json response from `GET v1/operator/keyring` which lists the primary keys in use per dc. That way an operator can tell when a key was successfully setup as primary key.
Based on https://github.com/hashicorp/serf/pull/611 to add primary key to list keyring output:

I intentionally did not change the CLI output because I didn't find a good way of displaying this information. There are a couple of options that we could implement later:
* add a flag to show the primary keys
* add a flag to show json output
Fixes#3393.
Fixes#8466
Since Consul 1.8.0 there was a bug in how ingress gateway protocol
compatibility was enforced. At the point in time that an ingress-gateway
config entry was modified the discovery chain for each upstream was
checked to ensure the ingress gateway protocol matched. Unfortunately
future modifications of other config entries were not validated against
existing ingress-gateway definitions, such as:
1. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (ok)
2. create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http (worked, but not ok)
3. create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (worked, but caused an agent panic)
If you were to do these in a different order, it would fail without a
crash:
1. create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http (ok)
2. create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (ok)
3. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (fail with message about
protocol mismatch)
This PR introduces the missing validation. The two new behaviors are:
1. create tcp ingress-gateway pointing to 'api' (ok)
2. (NEW) create service-defaults for 'api' setting protocol=http ("ok" for back compat)
3. (NEW) create service-splitter or service-router for 'api' (fail with
message about protocol mismatch)
In consideration for any existing users that may be inadvertently be
falling into item (2) above, that is now officiall a valid configuration
to be in. For anyone falling into item (3) above while you cannot use
the API to manufacture that scenario anymore, anyone that has old (now
bad) data will still be able to have the agent use them just enough to
generate a new agent/proxycfg error message rather than a panic.
Unfortunately we just don't have enough information to properly fix the
config entries.
A query made with AllowNotModifiedResponse and a MinIndex, where the

Highlights:
- add new endpoint to query for intentions by exact match
- using this endpoint from the CLI instead of the dump+filter approach
- enforcing that OSS can only read/write intentions with a SourceNS or
DestinationNS field of "default".
- preexisting OSS intentions with now-invalid namespace fields will
delete those intentions on initial election or for wildcard namespaces
an attempt will be made to downgrade them to "default" unless one
exists.
- also allow the '-namespace' CLI arg on all of the intention subcommands
- update lots of docs
Split up unused key validation in config entry decode for oss/ent.
This is needed so that we can return an informative error in OSS if namespaces are provided.
Previously, we were only returning a single ListenerPort for a single
service. However, we actually allow a single service to be serviced over
multiple ports, as well as allow users to define what hostnames they
expect their services to be contacted over. When no hosts are defined,
we return the default ingress domain for any configured DNS domain.
To show this in the UI, we modify the gateway-services-nodes API to
return a GatewayConfig.Addresses field, which is a list of addresses
over which the specific service can be contacted.
A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.
Currently opaque config blocks (config entries, and CA provider config) are
modified by PatchSliceOfMaps, making it impossible for these opaque
config sections to contain slices of maps.
In order to fix this problem, any lazy-decoding of these blocks needs to support
weak decoding of []map[string]interface{} to a struct type before
PatchSliceOfMaps is replaces. This is necessary because these config
blobs are persisted, and during an upgrade an older version of Consul
could read one of the new configuration values, which would cause an error.
To support the upgrade path, this commit first introduces the new hooks
for weak decoding of []map[string]interface{} and uses them only in the
lazy-decode paths. That way, in a future release, new style
configuration will be supported by the older version of Consul.
This decode hook has a number of advantages:
1. It no longer panics. It allows mapstructure to report the error
2. It no longer requires the user to declare which fields are slices of
structs. It can deduce that information from the 'to' value.
3. It will make it possible to preserve opaque configuration, allowing
for structured opaque config.

Found using staticcheck.
binary.Write does not accept int types without a size. The error from binary.Write was ignored, so we never saw this error. Casting the data to uint64 produces a correct hash.
Also deprecate the Default{Addr,Port} fields, and prevent them from being encoded. These fields will always be empty and are not used.
Removing these would break backwards compatibility, so they are left in place for now.

* testing: replace most goe/verify.Values with require.Equal
One difference between these two comparisons is that go/verify considers
nil slices/maps to be equal to empty slices/maps, where as testify/require
does not, and does not appear to provide any way to enable that behaviour.
Because of this difference some expected values were changed from empty
slices to nil slices, and some calls to verify.Values were left.

Three of the checks are temporarily disabled to limit the size of the

In a follow up we can fix the issues reported by the other checks one

go test will only run tests in parallel within a single package. In this case the package test run time is exactly the same with or without t.Parallel() (~0.7s).
In generally we should avoid t.Parallel() as it causes a number of problems with `go test` not reporting failure messages correctly. I encountered one of these problems, which is what prompted this change. Since `t.Parallel` is not providing any benefit in this package, this commit removes it.
The change was automated with:
git grep -l 't.Parallel' | xargs sed -i -e '/t.Parallel/d'
We can only allow host names that are valid domain names because we put
these hosts into a DNSSAN. In addition, we validate that the wildcard
specifier '*' is only present as the leftmost label to allow for a
wildcard DNSSAN and associated wildcard Host routing in the ingress
gateway proxy.
- Validate that this cannot be set on a 'tcp' listener nor on a wildcard
service.
- Add Hosts field to api and test in consul config write CLI
- xds: Configure envoy with user-provided hosts from ingress gateways
This commit adds the necessary changes to allow an ingress gateway to
route traffic from a single defined port to multiple different upstream
services in the Consul mesh.
To do this, we now require all HTTP requests coming into the ingress
gateway to specify a Host header that matches "<service-name>.*" in
order to correctly route traffic to the correct service.
- Differentiate multiple listener's route names by port
- Adds a case in xds for allowing default discovery chains to create a
route configuration when on an ingress gateway. This allows default
services to easily use host header routing
- ingress-gateways have a single route config for each listener
that utilizes domain matching to route to different services.
This makes it so that both OSS and enterprise tests pass correctly
In the api tests, explicitly set namespace to empty string so that tests
can be shared.

This is like a Möbius strip of code due to the fact that low-level components (serf/memberlist) are connected to high-level components (the catalog and mesh-gateways) in a twisty maze of references which make it hard to dive into. With that in mind here's a high level summary of what you'll find in the patch:
There are several distinct chunks of code that are affected:
* new flags and config options for the server
* retry join WAN is slightly different
* retry join code is shared to discover primary mesh gateways from secondary datacenters
* because retry join logic runs in the *agent* and the results of that
operation for primary mesh gateways are needed in the *server* there are
some methods like `RefreshPrimaryGatewayFallbackAddresses` that must occur
at multiple layers of abstraction just to pass the data down to the right
layer.
* new cache type `FederationStateListMeshGatewaysName` for use in `proxycfg/xds` layers
* the function signature for RPC dialing picked up a new required field (the
node name of the destination)
* several new RPCs for manipulating a FederationState object:
`FederationState:{Apply,Get,List,ListMeshGateways}`
* 3 read-only internal APIs for debugging use to invoke those RPCs from curl
* raft and fsm changes to persist these FederationStates
* replication for FederationStates as they are canonically stored in the
Primary and replicated to the Secondaries.
* a special derivative of anti-entropy that runs in secondaries to snapshot
their local mesh gateway `CheckServiceNodes` and sync them into their upstream
FederationState in the primary (this works in conjunction with the
replication to distribute addresses for all mesh gateways in all DCs to all
other DCs)
* a "gateway locator" convenience object to make use of this data to choose
the addresses of gateways to use for any given RPC or gossip operation to a
remote DC. This gets data from the "retry join" logic in the agent and also
directly calls into the FSM.
* RPC (`:8300`) on the server sniffs the first byte of a new connection to
determine if it's actually doing native TLS. If so it checks the ALPN header
for protocol determination (just like how the existing system uses the
type-byte marker).
* 2 new kinds of protocols are exclusively decoded via this native TLS
mechanism: one for ferrying "packet" operations (udp-like) from the gossip
layer and one for "stream" operations (tcp-like). The packet operations
re-use sockets (using length-prefixing) to cut down on TLS re-negotiation
overhead.
* the server instances specially wrap the `memberlist.NetTransport` when running
with gateway federation enabled (in a `wanfed.Transport`). The general gist is
that if it tries to dial a node in the SAME datacenter (deduced by looking
at the suffix of the node name) there is no change. If dialing a DIFFERENT
datacenter it is wrapped up in a TLS+ALPN blob and sent through some mesh
gateways to eventually end up in a server's :8300 port.
* a new flag when launching a mesh gateway via `consul connect envoy` to
indicate that the servers are to be exposed. This sets a special service
meta when registering the gateway into the catalog.
* `proxycfg/xds` notice this metadata blob to activate additional watches for
the FederationState objects as well as the location of all of the consul
servers in that datacenter.
* `xds:` if the extra metadata is in place additional clusters are defined in a
DC to bulk sink all traffic to another DC's gateways. For the current
datacenter we listen on a wildcard name (`server.<dc>.consul`) that load
balances all servers as well as one mini-cluster per node
(`<node>.server.<dc>.consul`)
* the `consul tls cert create` command got a new flag (`-node`) to help create
an additional SAN in certs that can be used with this flavor of federation.
We set RawToString=true so that []uint8 => string when decoding an interface{}.
We set the MapType so that map[interface{}]interface{} decodes to map[string]interface{}.
Add tests to ensure that this doesn't break existing usages.
