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.
Consul

Consul is a tool for service discovery and configuration. Consul is distributed, highly available, and extremely scalable.
Consul provides several key features:
-
Service Discovery - Consul makes it simple for services to register themselves and to discover other services via a DNS or HTTP interface. External services such as SaaS providers can be registered as well.
-
Health Checking - Health Checking enables Consul to quickly alert operators about any issues in a cluster. The integration with service discovery prevents routing traffic to unhealthy hosts and enables service level circuit breakers.
-
Key/Value Storage - A flexible key/value store enables storing dynamic configuration, feature flagging, coordination, leader election and more. The simple HTTP API makes it easy to use anywhere.
-
Multi-Datacenter - Consul is built to be datacenter aware, and can support any number of regions without complex configuration.
-
Service Segmentation - Consul Connect enables secure service-to-service communication with automatic TLS encryption and identity-based authorization.
Consul runs on Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD, Solaris, and Windows. A commercial version called Consul Enterprise is also available.
Please note: We take Consul's security and our users' trust very seriously. If you believe you have found a security issue in Consul, please responsibly disclose by contacting us at security@hashicorp.com.
