acl: reduce complexity of token resolution process with alternative singleflighting
Switches acl resolution to use golang.org/x/sync/singleflight. For the
identity/legacy lookups this is a drop-in replacement with the same
overall approach to request coalescing.
For policies this is technically a change in behavior, but when
considered holistically is approximately performance neutral (with the
benefit of less code).
There are two goals with this blob of code (speaking specifically of
policy resolution here):
1) Minimize cross-DC requests.
2) Minimize client-to-server LAN requests.
The previous iteration of this code was optimizing for the case of many
possibly different tokens being resolved concurrently that have a
significant overlap in linked policies such that deduplication would be
worth the complexity. While this is laudable there are some things to
consider that can help to adjust expectations:
1) For v1.4+ policies are always replicated, and once a single policy
shows up in a secondary DC the replicated data is considered
authoritative for requests made in that DC. This means that our
earlier concerns about minimizing cross-DC requests are irrelevant
because there will be no cross-DC policy reads that occur.
2) For Server nodes the in-memory ACL policy cache is capped at zero,
meaning it has no caching. Only Client nodes run with a cache. This
means that instead of having an entire DC's worth of tokens (what a
Server might see) that can have policy resolutions coalesced these
nodes will only ever be seeing node-local token resolutions. In a
reasonable worst-case scenario where a scheduler like Kubernetes has
"filled" a node with Connect services, even that will only schedule
~100 connect services per node. If every service has a unique token
there will only be 100 tokens to coalesce and even then those requests
have to occur concurrently AND be hitting an empty consul cache.
Instead of seeing a great coalescing opportunity for cutting down on
redundant Policy resolutions, in practice it's far more likely given
node densities that you'd see requests for the same token concurrently
than you would for two tokens sharing a policy concurrently (to a degree
that would warrant the overhead of the current variation of
singleflighting.
Given that, this patch switches the Policy resolution process to only
singleflight by requesting token (but keeps the cache as by-policy).
This PR introduces reloading tls configuration. Consul will now be able to reload the TLS configuration which previously required a restart. It is not yet possible to turn TLS ON or OFF with these changes. Only when TLS is already turned on, the configuration can be reloaded. Most importantly the certificates and CAs.
Node updates were not updating the service indexes, which are used for
service related queries. This caused the X-Consul-Index to stay the same
after a node update as seen from a service query even though the node
data is returned in heath queries. If that happened in between queries
the client would miss this change.
We now update the indexes of the services on the node when it is
updated.
Fixes: #5450
In TestServer_LANReap autopilot is running, so the alternate flow
through the serf reaping function is possible. In that situation the
ReconnectTimeout is not relevant so for parity also override the
TombstoneTimeout value as well.
For additional parity update the TestServer_WANReap and
TestClient_LANReap versions of this test in the same way even though
autopilot is irrelevant here .
Fix error in detecting raft replication errors.
Detect redacted token secrets and prevent attempting to insert.
Add a Redacted field to the TokenBatchRead and TokenRead RPC endpoints
This will indicate whether token secrets have been redacted.
Ensure any token with a redacted secret in secondary datacenters is removed.
Test that redacted tokens cannot be replicated.
Prevent race between register and deregister requests by saving them
together in the local state on registration.
Also adds more cleaning in case of failure when registering services
/ checks.
Previously we were fixing up the token links directly on the *ACLToken returned by memdb. This invalidated some assumptions that a snapshot is immutable as well as potentially being able to cause a crash.
The fix here is to give the policy link fixing function copy on write semantics. When no fixes are necessary we can return the memdb object directly, otherwise we copy it and create a new list of links.
Eventually we might find a better way to keep those policy links in sync but for now this fixes the issue.
* Fix race condition in DNS when using cache
The healty node filtering was modifying the result from the cache, which
caused a crash when multiple queries were made to the same service
simultaneously.
We now copy the node slice before filtering to ensure we do not modify
the data stored in the cache.
* Fix wording in dns cache config doc
s/dns_max_age/cache_max_age/
This PR adds two features which will be useful for operators when ACLs are in use.
1. Tokens set in configuration files are now reloadable.
2. If `acl.enable_token_persistence` is set to `true` in the configuration, tokens set via the `v1/agent/token` endpoint are now persisted to disk and loaded when the agent starts (or during configuration reload)
Note that token persistence is opt-in so our users who do not want tokens on the local disk will see no change.
Some other secondary changes:
* Refactored a bunch of places where the replication token is retrieved from the token store. This token isn't just for replicating ACLs and now it is named accordingly.
* Allowed better paths in the `v1/agent/token/` API. Instead of paths like: `v1/agent/token/acl_replication_token` the path can now be just `v1/agent/token/replication`. The old paths remain to be valid.
* Added a couple new API functions to set tokens via the new paths. Deprecated the old ones and pointed to the new names. The names are also generally better and don't imply that what you are setting is for ACLs but rather are setting ACL tokens. There is a minor semantic difference there especially for the replication token as again, its no longer used only for ACL token/policy replication. The new functions will detect 404s and fallback to using the older token paths when talking to pre-1.4.3 agents.
* Docs updated to reflect the API additions and to show using the new endpoints.
* Updated the ACL CLI set-agent-tokens command to use the non-deprecated APIs.
This PR is based on #5366 and continues to centralise the tls configuration in order to be reloadable eventually!
This PR is another refactoring. No tests are changed, beyond calling other functions or cosmetic stuff. I added a bunch of tests, even though they might be redundant.
In order to be able to reload the TLS configuration, we need one way to generate the different configurations.
This PR introduces a `tlsutil.Configurator` which holds a `tlsutil.Config`. Afterwards it is responsible for rendering every `tls.Config`. In this particular PR I moved `IncomingHTTPSConfig`, `IncomingTLSConfig`, and `OutgoingTLSWrapper` into `tlsutil.Configurator`.
This PR is a pure refactoring - not a single feature added. And not a single test added. I only slightly modified existing tests as necessary.
Adds two new configuration parameters "dns_config.use_cache" and
"dns_config.cache_max_age" controlling how DNS requests use the agent
cache when querying servers.
* Start adding tests for cluster override
* Refactor tests for clusters
* Passing tests for custom upstream cluster override
* Added capability to customise local app cluster
* Rename config for local cluster override
Also in acl_endpoint_test.go:
* convert logical blocks in some token tests to subtests
* remove use of require.New
This removes a lot of noise in a later PR.
This way we can avoid unnecessary panics which cause other tests not to run.
This doesn't remove all the possibilities for panics causing other tests not to run, it just fixes the TestAgent
Currently the gRPC server assumes that if you have configured TLS
certs on the agent (for RPC) that you want gRPC to be encrypted.
If gRPC is bound to localhost this can be overkill. For the API we
let the user choose to offer HTTP or HTTPS API endpoints
independently of the TLS cert configuration for a similar reason.
This setting will let someone encrypt RPC traffic with TLS but avoid
encrypting local gRPC traffic if that is what they want to do by only
enabling TLS on gRPC if the HTTPS API port is enabled.
There was an errant early-return in PolicyDelete() that bypassed the
rest of the function. This was ok because the only caller of this
function ignores the results.
This removes the early-return making it structurally behave like
TokenDelete() and for both PolicyDelete and TokenDelete clarify the lone
callers to indicate that the return values are ignored.
We may wish to avoid the entire return value as well, but this patch
doesn't go that far.
`establishLeadership` invoked during leadership monitoring may use autopilot to do promotions etc. There was a race with doing that and having autopilot initialized and this fixes it.
Given a query like:
```
{
"Name": "tagged-connect-query",
"Service": {
"Service": "foo",
"Tags": ["tag"],
"Connect": true
}
}
```
And a Consul configuration like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
If you executed the query it would always turn up with 0 results. This was because the sidecar service was being created without any tags. You could instead make your config look like:
```
{
"services": [
"name": "foo",
"port": 8080,
"connect": { "sidecar_service": {
"tags": ["tag"]
} },
"tags": ["tag"]
]
}
```
However that is a bit redundant for most cases. This PR ensures that the tags and service meta of the parent service get copied to the sidecar service. If there are any tags or service meta set in the sidecar service definition then this copying does not take place. After the changes, the query will now return the expected results.
A second change was made to prepared queries in this PR which is to allow filtering on ServiceMeta just like we allow for filtering on NodeMeta.
When tests fail, only the logs for the failing run are dumped to the
console which helps in diagnosis. This is easily added to other test
scenarios as they come up.
