Currently the config_entry.go subsystem delegates authorization decisions via the ConfigEntry interface CanRead and CanWrite code. Unfortunately this returns a true/false value and loses the details of the source.
This is not helpful, especially since it the config subsystem can be more complex to understand, since it covers so many domains.
This refactors CanRead/CanWrite to return a structured error message (PermissionDenied or the like) with more details about the reason for denial.
Part of #12241
Signed-off-by: Mark Anderson <manderson@hashicorp.com>
Failing over to a partition is more siimilar to failing over to another
datacenter than it is to failing over to a namespace. In a future
release we should update how localities for failover are specified. We
should be able to accept a list of localities which can include both
partition and datacenter.
* Add partition fields to targets like service route destinations
* Update validation to prevent cross-DC + cross-partition references
* Handle partitions when reading config entries for disco chain
* Encode partition in compiled targets

Renames all variables for acl.Authorizer to use `authz`. Previously some
places used `rule` which I believe was an old name carried over from the
legacy ACL system.
A couple places also used authorizer.
This commit also removes another couple of authorizer nil checks that
are no longer necessary.
Extend Consul’s intentions model to allow for request-based access control enforcement for HTTP-like protocols in addition to the existing connection-based enforcement for unspecified protocols (e.g. tcp).
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
* ACL Authorizer overhaul
To account for upcoming features every Authorization function can now take an extra *acl.EnterpriseAuthorizerContext. These are unused in OSS and will always be nil.
Additionally the acl package has received some thorough refactoring to enable all of the extra Consul Enterprise specific authorizations including moving sentinel enforcement into the stubbed structs. The Authorizer funcs now return an acl.EnforcementDecision instead of a boolean. This improves the overall interface as it makes multiple Authorizers easily chainable as they now indicate whether they had an authoritative decision or should use some other defaults. A ChainedAuthorizer was added to handle this Authorizer enforcement chain and will never itself return a non-authoritative decision.
* Include stub for extra enterprise rules in the global management policy
* Allow for an upgrade of the global-management policy
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.
* connect: reconcile how upstream configuration works with discovery chains
The following upstream config fields for connect sidecars sanely
integrate into discovery chain resolution:
- Destination Namespace/Datacenter: Compilation occurs locally but using
different default values for namespaces and datacenters. The xDS
clusters that are created are named as they normally would be.
- Mesh Gateway Mode (single upstream): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. The xDS
clusters that are created may be named differently (see below).
- Mesh Gateway Mode (whole sidecar): If set this value overrides any
value computed for any resolver for the entire discovery chain. If this
is specifically overridden for a single upstream this value is ignored
in that case. The xDS clusters that are created may be named differently
(see below).
- Protocol (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the value
computed when evaluating the entire discovery chain. If the normal chain
would be TCP or if this override is set to TCP then the result is that
we explicitly disable L7 Routing and Splitting. The xDS clusters that
are created may be named differently (see below).
- Connect Timeout (in opaque config): If set this value overrides the
value for any resolver in the entire discovery chain. The xDS clusters
that are created may be named differently (see below).
If any of the above overrides affect the actual result of compiling the
discovery chain (i.e. "tcp" becomes "grpc" instead of being a no-op
override to "tcp") then the relevant parameters are hashed and provided
to the xDS layer as a prefix for use in naming the Clusters. This is to
ensure that if one Upstream discovery chain has no overrides and
tangentially needs a cluster named "api.default.XXX", and another
Upstream does have overrides for "api.default.XXX" that they won't
cross-pollinate against the operator's wishes.
