under large deployments loading credentials might be
time consuming, while this is okay and we will not
respond quickly for `mc admin user list` like queries
but it is possible to support `mc admin user info`
just like how we handle authentication by fetching
the user directly from persistent store.
additionally support service accounts properly,
reloaded from etcd during watch() - this was missing
This PR is also half way remedy for #11305
- accountInfo API that returns information about
user, access to buckets and the size per bucket
- addUser - user is allowed to change their secretKey
- getUserInfo - returns user info if the incoming
is the same user requesting their information
Allow requests to come in for users as soon as object
layer and config are initialized, this allows users
to be authenticated sooner and would succeed automatically
on servers which are yet to fully initialize.
In almost all scenarios MinIO now is
mostly ready for all sub-systems
independently, safe-mode is not useful
anymore and do not serve its original
intended purpose.
allow server to be fully functional
even with config partially configured,
this is to cater for availability of actual
I/O v/s manually fixing the server.
In k8s like environments it will never make
sense to take pod into safe-mode state,
because there is no real access to perform
any remote operation on them.
Bonus fixes in quota enforcement to use the
new datastructure and use timedValue to cache
a value/reload automatically avoids one less
global variable.
No one really uses FS for large scale accounting
usage, neither we crawl in NAS gateway mode. It is
worthwhile to simply disable this feature as its
not useful for anyone.
Bonus disable bucket quota ops as well in, FS
and gateway mode
allow generating service accounts for temporary credentials
which have a designated parent, currently OpenID is not yet
supported.
added checks to ensure that service account cannot generate
further service accounts for itself, service accounts can
never be a parent to any credential.
global WORM mode is a complex piece for which
the time has passed, with the advent of S3 compatible
object locking and retention implementation global
WORM is sort of deprecated, this has been mentioned
in our documentation for some time, now the time
has come for this to go.
This PR fixes couple of behaviors with service accounts
- not need to have session token for service accounts
- service accounts can be generated by any user for themselves
implicitly, with a valid signature.
- policy input for AddNewServiceAccount API is not fully typed
allowing for validation before it is sent to the server.
- also bring in additional context for admin API errors if any
when replying back to client.
- deprecate GetServiceAccount API as we do not need to reply
back session tokens
Fixes#8667
In addition to the above, if the user is mapped to a policy or
belongs in a group, the user-info API returns this information,
but otherwise, the API will now return a non-existent user error.
In existing functionality we simply return a generic
error such as "MalformedPolicy" which indicates just
a generic string "invalid resource" which is not very
meaningful when there might be multiple types of errors
during policy parsing. This PR ensures that we send
these errors back to client to indicate the actual
error, brings in two concrete types such as
- iampolicy.Error
- policy.Error
Refer #8202
This PR fixes the issue where we might allow policy changes
for temporary credentials out of band, this situation allows
privilege escalation for those temporary credentials. We
should disallow any external actions on temporary creds
as a practice and we should clearly differentiate which
are static and which are temporary credentials.
Refer #8667
This PR refactors object layer handling such
that upon failure in sub-system initialization
server reaches a stage of safe-mode operation
wherein only certain API operations are enabled
and available.
This allows for fixing many scenarios such as
- incorrect configuration in vault, etcd,
notification targets
- missing files, incomplete config migrations
unable to read encrypted content etc
- any other issues related to notification,
policies, lifecycle etc
