On the servers they must have a certificate.
On the clients they just have to set verify_outgoing to true to attempt TLS connections for RPCs.
Eventually we may relax these restrictions but right now all of the settings we push down (acl tokens, acl related settings, certificates, gossip key) are sensitive and shouldn’t be transmitted over an unencrypted connection. Our guides and docs should recoommend verify_server_hostname on the clients as well.
Another reason to do this is weird things happen when making an insecure RPC when TLS is not enabled. Basically it tries TLS anyways. We should probably fix that to make it clearer what is going on.
The envisioned changes would allow extra settings to enable dynamically defined auth methods to be used instead of or in addition to the statically defined one in the configuration.
There are a couple of things in here.
First, just like auto encrypt, any Cluster.AutoConfig RPC will implicitly use the less secure RPC mechanism.
This drastically modifies how the Consul Agent starts up and moves most of the responsibilities (other than signal handling) from the cli command and into the Agent.
All commands which read config (agent, services, and validate) will now
print warnings when one of the config files is skipped because it did
not match an expected format.
Also ensures that config validate prints all warnings.
Right now this is only hooked into the insecure RPC server and requires JWT authorization. If no JWT authorizer is setup in the configuration then we inject a disabled “authorizer” to always report that JWT authorization is disabled.
While upgrading servers to a new version, I saw that metadata of
existing servers are not upgraded, so the version and raft meta
is not up to date in catalog.
The only way to do it was to:
* update Consul server
* make it leave the cluster, then metadata is accurate
That's because the optimization to avoid updating catalog does
not take into account metadata, so no update on catalog is performed.
And fix the 'value not used' issues.
Many of these are not bugs, but a few are tests not checking errors, and
one appears to be a missed error in non-test code.
A Node Identity is very similar to a service identity. Its main targeted use is to allow creating tokens for use by Consul agents that will grant the necessary permissions for all the typical agent operations (node registration, coordinate updates, anti-entropy).
Half of this commit is for golden file based tests of the acl token and role cli output. Another big updates was to refactor many of the tests in agent/consul/acl_endpoint_test.go to use the same style of tests and the same helpers. Besides being less boiler plate in the tests it also uses a common way of starting a test server with ACLs that should operate without any warnings regarding deprecated non-uuid master tokens etc.
Previously the logic for reading ConfigFiles and produces Sources was split
between NewBuilder and Build. This commit moves all of the logic into NewBuilder
so that Build() can operate entirely on Sources.
This change is in preparation for logging warnings when files have an
unsupported extension.
It also reduces the scope of BuilderOpts, and gets us very close to removing
Builder.options.
The nil value was never used. We can avoid a bunch of complications by
making the field a string value instead of a pointer.
This change is in preparation for fixing a silent config failure.
Flags is an overloaded term in this context. It generally is used to
refer to command line flags. This struct, however, is a data object
used as input to the construction.
It happens to be partially populated by command line flags, but
otherwise has very little to do with them.
Renaming this struct should make the actual responsibility of this struct
more obvious, and remove the possibility that it is confused with
command line flags.
This change is in preparation for adding additional fields to
BuilderOpts.
This field was populated for one reason, to test that it was empty.
Of all the callers, only a single one used this functionality. The rest
constructed a `Flags{}` struct which did not set Args.
I think this shows that the logic was in the wrong place. Only the agent
command needs to care about validating the args.
This commit removes the field, and moves the logic to the one caller
that cares.
Also fix some comments.
Passing the channel to the function which uses it significantly
reduces the scope of the variable, and makes its usage more explicit. It
also moves the initialization of the channel closer to where it is used.
Also includes a couple very small cleanups to remove a local var and
read the error from `ctx.Err()` directly instead of creating a channel
to check for an error.
This field was always read by the same function that populated the field,
so it does not need to be a field. Passing the value as an argument to
functions makes it more obvious where the value comes from, and also reduces
the scope of the variable significantly.
[The documentation for context](https://golang.org/pkg/context/)
recommends not storing context in a struct field:
> Do not store Contexts inside a struct type; instead, pass a Context
> explicitly to each function that needs it. The Context should be the
> first parameter, typically named ctx...
Sometimes there are good reasons to not follow this recommendation, but
in this case it seems easy enough to follow.
Also moved the ctx argument to be the first in one of the function calls
to follow the same recommendation.
Blocking queries issues will still be uncancellable (that cannot be helped until we get rid of net/rpc). However this makes it so that if calling getWithIndex (like during a cache Notify go routine) we can cancell the outer routine. Previously it would keep issuing more blocking queries until the result state actually changed.

Currently when passing hostname clusters to Envoy, we set each service instance registered with Consul as an LbEndpoint for the cluster.
However, Envoy can only handle one per cluster:
[2020-06-04 18:32:34.094][1][warning][config] [source/common/config/grpc_subscription_impl.cc:87] gRPC config for type.googleapis.com/envoy.api.v2.Cluster rejected: Error adding/updating cluster(s) dc2.internal.ddd90499-9b47-91c5-4616-c0cbf0fc358a.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint, server.dc2.consul: LOGICAL_DNS clusters must have a single locality_lb_endpoint and a single lb_endpoint
Envoy is currently handling this gracefully by only picking one of the endpoints. However, we should avoid passing multiple to avoid these warning logs.
This PR:
* Ensures we only pass one endpoint, which is tied to one service instance.
* We prefer sending an endpoint which is marked as Healthy by Consul.
* If no endpoints are healthy we emit a warning and skip the cluster.
* If multiple unique hostnames are spread across service instances we emit a warning and let the user know which will be resolved.
In discussion with team, it was pointed out that query parameters tend
to be filter mechanism, and that semantically the "/v1/health/connect"
endpoint should return "all healthy connect-enabled endpoints (e.g.
could be side car proxies or native instances) for this service so I can
connect with mTLS".
That does not fit an ingress gateway, so we remove the query parameter
and add a new endpoint "/v1/health/ingress" that semantically means
"all the healthy ingress gateway instances that I can connect to
to access this connect-enabled service without mTLS"
