Constants

const (
	// OpenIdNonceCookieName is the cookie name used to store a nonce code
	// when user is starting authentication with the external server. This code
	// is used to mitigate replay attacks.
	OpenIdNonceCookieName = config.TokenCookieName + "-openid-nonce"

	// OpenIdServerCAFile is a certificate file used to connect to the OpenID server.
	// This is for cases when the authentication server is using TLS with a self-signed
	// certificate.
	OpenIdServerCAFile = "/kiali-cabundle/openid-server-ca.crt"
)

const (
	AESSessionCookieName       = config.TokenCookieName + "-aes"
	AESSessionChunksCookieName = config.TokenCookieName + "-chunks"
)

const SessionCookieMaxSize = 3584

SessionCookieMaxSize is the maximum size of session cookies. This is 3.5K. Major browsers limit cookie size to 4K, but this includes metadata like expiration date, the cookie name, etc. So use 3.5K for cookie data and leave 0.5K for metadata.

Functions

func InitializeAuthenticationController

func InitializeAuthenticationController(strategy string)

InitializeAuthenticationController initializes the authentication controller associated to the given strategy and prepares it to control user sessions and handle authentication requests. This should be called during Kiali startup, before starting to listen to HTTP requests.

func NewTokenAuthController

func NewTokenAuthController(persistor SessionPersistor, businessInstantiator func(authInfo *api.AuthInfo) (*business.Layer, error)) *tokenAuthController

NewTokenAuthController initializes a new controller for handling token authentication, with the given persistor and the given businessInstantiator. The businessInstantiator can be nil and the initialized contoller will use the business.Get function.

Types

type AuthController

type AuthController interface {
	// Authenticate handles an HTTP request that contains credentials. The method to pass the credentials
	// is chosen by the authentication controller implementation. The credentials are verified and if
	// it is supported by the controller, RBAC permissions are verified to ensure that the logging in user
	// has enough privileges to login to Kiali.
	// An AuthenticationFailureError is returned if the authentication request is rejected (unauthorized). Any
	// other kind of error means that something unexpected happened.
	Authenticate(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter) (*UserSessionData, error)

	// ValidateSession restores a session previously created by the Authenticate function. The validity of
	// the restored should be verified as much as possible by the implementing controllers.
	// If the session is still valid, a populated UserSessionData is returned. Otherwise, nil is returned.
	ValidateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter) (*UserSessionData, error)

	// TerminateSession performs the needed procedures to terminate an existing session. If there is no
	// active session, nothing is performed. If there is some invalid session, it is cleared.
	TerminateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter)
}

AuthController is the interface that all Kiali authentication strategies should implement. An authentication controller is initialized during Kiali startup.

func GetAuthController

func GetAuthController() AuthController

GetAuthController gets the authentication controller that is currently configured and handling user sessions and any authentication related requests.

type AuthenticationFailureError

type AuthenticationFailureError struct {
	// Wraps the error causing the authentication failure
	Detail error

	// The status code that should have the HTTP response for this error.
	HttpStatus int

	// A description of the authentication failure
	Reason string
}

AuthenticationFailureError is a helper Error to assist callers of the TokenAuthController.Authenticate function in distinguishing between authentication failures and unexpected errors.

func (*AuthenticationFailureError) Error

func (e *AuthenticationFailureError) Error() string

Error returns the string representation of an AuthenticationFailureError

type CookieSessionPersistor

type CookieSessionPersistor struct{}

CookieSessionPersistor is a session storage based on browser cookies. Session persistence is achieved by storing all session data in browser cookies. Only client-side storage is used and no back-end storage is needed. Browser cookies have size constraints and the workaround for large session data/payload is using multiple cookies. There is still a (browser dependant) limit on the number of cookies that a website can set but we haven't heard of a user facing problems because of reaching this limit.

func (CookieSessionPersistor) CreateSession

func (p CookieSessionPersistor) CreateSession(_ *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter, strategy string, expiresOn time.Time, payload interface{}) error

CreateSession starts a user session using HTTP Cookies for persistance across HTTP requests. For improved security, the data of the session is encrypted using the AES-GCM algorithm and the encrypted data is what is sent in cookies. The strategy, expiresOn and payload arguments are all required.

func (CookieSessionPersistor) ReadSession

func (p CookieSessionPersistor) ReadSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter, payload interface{}) (*sessionData, error)

ReadSession restores (decrypts) and returns the data that was persisted when using the CreateSession function. If a payload is provided, the original data is parsed and stored in the payload argument. As part of restoring the session, validation of expiration time is performed and no data is returned assuming the session is stale. Also, it is verified that the currently configured authentication strategy is the same as when the session was created.

func (CookieSessionPersistor) TerminateSession

func (p CookieSessionPersistor) TerminateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter)

TerminateSession destroys any persisted data of a session created by the CreateSession function. The session is terminated unconditionally (that is, there is no validation of the session), allowing clearing any stale cookies/session.

type OpenIdAuthController

type OpenIdAuthController struct {

	// SessionStore persists the session between HTTP requests.
	SessionStore SessionPersistor
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

OpenIdAuthController contains the backing logic to implement Kiali's "openid" authentication strategy. The implicit flow and the authorization code flow are implemented.

RBAC is supported, although it requires that the cluster is configured with OpenId integration. Thus, it is possible to turn off RBAC for simpler setups.

func NewOpenIdAuthController

func NewOpenIdAuthController(persistor SessionPersistor, businessInstantiator func(authInfo *api.AuthInfo) (*business.Layer, error)) *OpenIdAuthController

NewOpenIdAuthController initializes a new controller for handling openid authentication, with the given persistor and the given businessInstantiator. The businessInstantiator can be nil and the initialized contoller will use the business.Get function.

func (OpenIdAuthController) Authenticate

func (c OpenIdAuthController) Authenticate(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter) (*UserSessionData, error)

Authenticate is the entry point to handle OpenId authentication using the implicit flow. The HTTP request should contain "id_token" and "state" as URL parameters. If RBAC is enabled, the id_token should be valid to be used in the Kubernetes API (thus, privileges are verified to allow login); else, only token validity is checked and users will share the same privileges. An AuthenticationFailureError is returned if the authentication failed. Any other kind of error means that something unexpected happened.

func (OpenIdAuthController) GetAuthCallbackHandler

func (c OpenIdAuthController) GetAuthCallbackHandler(fallbackHandler http.Handler) http.Handler

GetAuthCallbackHandler returns an http handler for authentication requests done to Kiali's web_root. This handler catches callbacks from the OpenId server. If it cannot be determined that the request is a callback from the authentication server, the request is passed to the fallbackHandler.

func (OpenIdAuthController) PostRoutes

func (c OpenIdAuthController) PostRoutes(router *mux.Router)

PostRoutes adds the additional endpoints needed on the Kiali's router in order to properly enable OpenId authentication. Only one new route is added to do a redirection from Kiali to the OpenId server to initiate authentication.

func (OpenIdAuthController) TerminateSession

func (c OpenIdAuthController) TerminateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter)

TerminateSession unconditionally terminates any existing session without any validation.

func (OpenIdAuthController) ValidateSession

func (c OpenIdAuthController) ValidateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter) (*UserSessionData, error)

ValidateSession restores a session previously created by the Authenticate function. A sanity check of the id_token is performed if Kiali is not configured to use the access_token. Also, if RBAC is enabled, a privilege check is performed to verify that the user still has privileges to use Kiali. If the session is still valid, a populated UserSessionData is returned. Otherwise, nil is returned.

type SessionPersistor

type SessionPersistor interface {
	CreateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter, strategy string, expiresOn time.Time, payload interface{}) error
	ReadSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter, payload interface{}) (sData *sessionData, err error)
	TerminateSession(r *http.Request, w http.ResponseWriter)
}

type UserSessionData

type UserSessionData struct {
	// The expired time for the token
	// A string with the Datetime when the token will be expired
	//
	// example: Thu, 07 Mar 2019 17:50:26 +0000
	// required: true
	ExpiresOn time.Time `json:"expiresOn"`

	// The username for the token
	// A string with the user's username
	//
	// example: admin
	// required: true
	Username string `json:"username"`

	// The authentication token
	// A string with the authentication token for the user
	//
	// example: zI1NiIsIsR5cCI6IkpXVCJ9.ezJ1c2VybmFtZSI6ImFkbWluIiwiZXhwIjoxNTI5NTIzNjU0fQ.PPZvRGnR6VA4v7FmgSfQcGQr-VD
	// required: true
	Token string `json:"-"`
}
