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
Ensure we close the Sentinel Evaluator so as not to leak go routines
Fix a bunch of test logging so that various warnings when starting a test agent go to the ltest logger and not straight to stdout.
Various canned ent meta types always return a valid pointer (no more nils). This allows us to blindly deref + assign in various places.
Update ACL index tracking to ensure oss -> ent upgrades will work as expected.
Update ent meta parsing to include function to disallow wildcarding.
Also update the Docs and fixup the HTTP API to return proper errors when someone attempts to use Namespaces with an OSS agent.
Add Namespace HTTP API docs
Make all API endpoints disallow unknown fields
Main Changes:
• method signature updates everywhere to account for passing around enterprise meta.
• populate the EnterpriseAuthorizerContext for all ACL related authorizations.
• ACL resource listings now operate like the catalog or kv listings in that the returned entries are filtered down to what the token is allowed to see. With Namespaces its no longer all or nothing.
• Modified the acl.Policy parsing to abstract away basic decoding so that enterprise can do it slightly differently. Also updated method signatures so that when parsing a policy it can take extra ent metadata to use during rules validation and policy creation.
Secondary Changes:
• Moved protobuf encoding functions out of the agentpb package to eliminate circular dependencies.
• Added custom JSON unmarshalers for a few ACL resource types (to support snake case and to get rid of mapstructure)
• AuthMethod validator cache is now an interface as these will be cached per-namespace for Consul Enterprise.
• Added checks for policy/role link existence at the RPC API so we don’t push the request through raft to have it fail internally.
• Forward ACL token delete request to the primary datacenter when the secondary DC doesn’t have the token.
• Added a bunch of ACL test helpers for inserting ACL resource test data.
In addition to exposing compilation over the API cleaned up the structures that would be exchanged to be cleaner and easier to support and understand.
Also removed ability to configure the envoy OverprovisioningFactor.
Also:
- add back an internal http endpoint to dump a compiled discovery chain for debugging purposes
Before the CompiledDiscoveryChain.IsDefault() method would test:
- is this chain just one resolver step?
- is that resolver step just the default?
But what I forgot to test:
- is that resolver step for the same service that the chain represents?
This last point is important because if you configured just one config
entry:
kind = "service-resolver"
name = "web"
redirect {
service = "other"
}
and requested the chain for "web" you'd get back a **default** resolver
for "other". In the xDS code the IsDefault() method is used to
determine if this chain is "empty". If it is then we use the
pre-discovery-chain logic that just uses data embedded in the Upstream
object (and still lets the escape hatches function).
In the example above that means certain parts of the xDS code were going
to try referencing a cluster named "web..." despite the other parts of
the xDS code maintaining clusters named "other...".
Roles are named and can express the same bundle of permissions that can
currently be assigned to a Token (lists of Policies and Service
Identities). The difference with a Role is that it not itself a bearer
token, but just another entity that can be tied to a Token.
This lets an operator potentially curate a set of smaller reusable
Policies and compose them together into reusable Roles, rather than
always exploding that same list of Policies on any Token that needs
similar permissions.
This also refactors the acl replication code to be semi-generic to avoid
3x copypasta.
This endpoint aggregates all checks related to <service id> on the agent
and return an appropriate http code + the string describing the worst
check.
This allows to cleanly expose service status to other component, hiding
complexity of multiple checks.
This is especially useful to use consul to feed a load balancer which
would delegate health checking to consul agent.
Exposing this endpoint on the agent is necessary to avoid a hit on
consul servers and avoid decreasing resiliency (this endpoint will work
even if there is no consul leader in the cluster).
This PR is almost a complete rewrite of the ACL system within Consul. It brings the features more in line with other HashiCorp products. Obviously there is quite a bit left to do here but most of it is related docs, testing and finishing the last few commands in the CLI. I will update the PR description and check off the todos as I finish them over the next few days/week.
Description
At a high level this PR is mainly to split ACL tokens from Policies and to split the concepts of Authorization from Identities. A lot of this PR is mostly just to support CRUD operations on ACLTokens and ACLPolicies. These in and of themselves are not particularly interesting. The bigger conceptual changes are in how tokens get resolved, how backwards compatibility is handled and the separation of policy from identity which could lead the way to allowing for alternative identity providers.
On the surface and with a new cluster the ACL system will look very similar to that of Nomads. Both have tokens and policies. Both have local tokens. The ACL management APIs for both are very similar. I even ripped off Nomad's ACL bootstrap resetting procedure. There are a few key differences though.
Nomad requires token and policy replication where Consul only requires policy replication with token replication being opt-in. In Consul local tokens only work with token replication being enabled though.
All policies in Nomad are globally applicable. In Consul all policies are stored and replicated globally but can be scoped to a subset of the datacenters. This allows for more granular access management.
Unlike Nomad, Consul has legacy baggage in the form of the original ACL system. The ramifications of this are:
A server running the new system must still support other clients using the legacy system.
A client running the new system must be able to use the legacy RPCs when the servers in its datacenter are running the legacy system.
The primary ACL DC's servers running in legacy mode needs to be a gate that keeps everything else in the entire multi-DC cluster running in legacy mode.
So not only does this PR implement the new ACL system but has a legacy mode built in for when the cluster isn't ready for new ACLs. Also detecting that new ACLs can be used is automatic and requires no configuration on the part of administrators. This process is detailed more in the "Transitioning from Legacy to New ACL Mode" section below.

* agent: always register pprof handlers and protect
This will allow us to avoid a restart of a target agent
for profiling by always registering the pprof handlers.
Given this is a potentially sensitive path, it is protected
with an operator:read ACL and enable debug being
set to true on the target agent. enable_debug still requires
a restart.
If ACLs are disabled, enable_debug is sufficient.
* command/debug: use trace.out instead of .prof
More in line with golang docs.
* agent: fix comment wording
* agent: wrap table driven tests in t.run()
- A new endpoint `/v1/agent/service/:service_id` which is a generic way to look up the service for a single instance. The primary value here is that it:
- **supports hash-based blocking** and so;
- **replaces `/agent/connect/proxy/:proxy_id`** as the mechanism the built-in proxy uses to read its config.
- It's not proxy specific and so works for any service.
- It has a temporary shim to call through to the existing endpoint to preserve current managed proxy config defaulting behaviour until that is removed entirely (tested).
- The built-in proxy now uses the new endpoint exclusively for it's config
- The built-in proxy now has a `-sidecar-for` flag that allows the service ID of the _target_ service to be specified, on the condition that there is exactly one "sidecar" proxy (that is one that has `Proxy.DestinationServiceID` set) for the service registered.
- Several fixes for edge cases for SidecarService
- A fix for `Alias` checks - when running locally they didn't update their state until some external thing updated the target. If the target service has no checks registered as below, then the alias never made it past critical.
There are also a lot of small bug fixes found when testing lots of things end-to-end for the first time and some cleanup now it's integrated with real CA code.
- Includes some bug fixes for previous `api` work and `agent` that weren't tested
- Needed somewhat pervasive changes to support hash based blocking - some TODOs left in our watch toolchain that will explicitly fail on hash-based watches.
- Integration into `connect` is partially done here but still WIP
- register endpoints with supported methods
- support OPTIONS requests, indicating supported methods
- extract method validation (error 405) from individual endpoints
- on 405 where multiple methods are allowed, create a single Allow
header with comma-separated values, not multiple Allow headers.
