This is an improvement upon existing implementation
by avoiding transfer of access and secret keys over
the network. This change only exchanges JWT tokens
generated by an rpc client. Even if the JWT can be
traced over the network on a non-TLS connection, this
change makes sure that we never really expose the
secret key over the network.
This removal comes to avoid some redundant requirements
which are adding more problems on a production setup.
Here are the list of checks for time as they happen
- Fresh connect (during server startup) - CORRECT
- A reconnect after network disconnect - CORRECT
- For each RPC call - INCORRECT.
Verifying time for each RPC aggravates a situation
where a RPC call is rejected in a sequence of events
due to enough load on a production setup. 3 second
might not be enough time window for the call to be
initiated and received by the server.
* Rename GenericArgs to AuthRPCArgs
* Rename GenericReply to AuthRPCReply
* Remove authConfig.loginMethod and add authConfig.ServiceName
* Rename loginServer to AuthRPCServer
* Rename RPCLoginArgs to LoginRPCArgs
* Rename RPCLoginReply to LoginRPCReply
* Version and RequestTime are added to LoginRPCArgs and verified by
server side, not client side.
* Fix data race in lockMaintainence loop.
