Work Description: risdenk commented on issue #56: KNOX-1756 - Knox
Gateway TLS Keystore and Alias Should be Configurable
URL: https://github.com/apache/knox/pull/56#issuecomment-467035200
Manual tests all look good as well. Ran the following tests:
* Checked that with no configuration Knox still works
* Checked that TLS and signed certificate configurations work independently
* Misconfiguring on purpose TLS/signed configuration properties
* Checked that error messages are reasonable
* Checked both self signed and CA signed certificates work correctly
* Ensure that JKS and PKCS12 certificates work
* Checked that `./bin/knoxcli.sh create-cert` doesn't overwrite configured
certificate

> Project: Apache Knox
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Server
> Affects Versions: 1.3.0
> Reporter: Robert Levas

> Priority: Major

> h1. Problem
> The location of the keystore housing the Knox Gateway TLS certificate is
> hardcoded to {{<calculated from configs>/keystores/gateway.jks}} and the
> certificate alias is hardcoded to “{{gateway-identity}}”. This limits the
> ability for external management facilities to setup a custom TLS key and
> certificate for the Knox Gateway. For example, a host-wide, CA-signed, TLS
> certificate.
> Knox has configuration hooks for the following (optional) properties
> * Home Directory - GatewayConfig.getGatewayHomeDir()
> ** Gateway-site property: GATEWAY_HOME
> ** System property: GATEWAY_HOME
> ** Environment variable: GATEWAY_HOME
> * Data Directory - GatewayConfig.getGatewayDataDir()
> ** System property: GATEWAY_DATA_HOME
> ** Environment variable: GATEWAY_DATA_HOME
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.data.dir
> ** Calculated: [Home Directory] + [Path Separator] + “data”
> * Security Directory - GatewayConfig.getGatewaySecurityDir()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.security.dir
> ** Calculated: [Data Directory] + [Path Separator] + “security”
> *Note*: the calculation for the home directory is inconsistent with the other
> directory calculations. This inconsistency may be confusing to users and thus
> should be fixed to be
> * System property: GATEWAY_HOME
> * Environment variable: GATEWAY_HOME
> * Gateway-site property: gateway.home.dir
> The path to the Knox Gateway TLS keystore is calculated as
> {noformat}
> [Security Directory] + [Path Separator] + “keystores” + [Path Separator] +
> “gateway.jks”
> {noformat}
> h1. Solution
> To make it easier to use an externally provided TLS key and certificate, the
> Knox Gateway should allow the TLS keystore file and alias name to be
> configurable. The following properties should be made available:
> * TLS Keystore File Path - GatewayConfig.getIdentityKeystorePath()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.tls.keystore.path
> ** Calculated: [Security Directory] + [Path Separator] + "keystores" +[Path
> Separator]+ "gateway.jks"
> * TLS Keystore Password Alias (value to be stored in the Knox Gateway
> credential store) - GatewayConfig.getIdentityKeystorePasswordAlias()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.tls.keystore.password.alias
> ** Calculated: "gateway-identity-keystore-password"
> * TLS Keystore Type - GatewayConfig.getIdentityKeystoreType()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.tls.keystore.type
> ** Calculated: :”jks”
> * TLS Key Alias - GatewayConfig.getIdentityKeyAlias()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.tls.key.alias
> ** Calculated: “gateway-identity”
> * TLS Key Passphrase Alias - GatewayConfig.getIdentityKeyPassphraseAlias()
> ** Gateway-site property: gateway.tls.key.passphrase.alias
> ** Calculated: "gateway-identity-passphrase"
> Additional methods for GatewayConfig should be added to improve consistency
> and prepare for potential changes to signing key related configurations
> * Keystore Directory - GatewayConfig.getKeystoreDir()
> ** Calculated: [Security Directory] + [Path Separator] + “keystores”
> * Signing Keystore File Path - GatewayConfig.getSigningKeystorePath()
> ** Calculated: If gateway.signing.keystore.name is set, [Keystore Directory]
> + [Path Separator] + [Signing Keystore Name]; else [TLS Keystore File Path]
> * Signing Keystore File Type - GatewayConfig.getSigningKeystoreType()
> ** Calculated: If gateway.signing.keystore.name is set, value of
> gateway.signing.keystore.type (default: "jks"); else [TLS Keystore File Type]
> * Signing Keystore Password Alias -
> GatewayConfig.getSigningKeystorePasswordAlias()
> ** Calculated: If gateway.signing.keystore.name is set, value of
> gateway.signing.keystore.password.alias (default:
> "signing.keystore.password"); else [TLS Keystore Password Alias]
> * Signing Key Alias - GatewayConfig.getSigningKeyAlias()
> ** Calculated: If gateway.signing.keystore.name is set, value of
> gateway.signing.key.alias (default: "gateway-identity"); else [TLS Key Alias]
> * Signing Key Passphrase Alias - GatewayConfig.getSigningKeyPassphraseAlias()
> ** Calculated: If gateway.signing.keystore.name is set, value of
> gateway.signing.key.passphrase.alias (default: "signing.key.passphrase");
> else [TLS Key Passphrase Alias]
> Note: the calculated values are set so they are backwards compatible with
> older versions of Knox to ease the upgrading process.
> Hardcoded values related to the identity and signing keystore location and
> relevant alias names should be removed, using the GatewayConfig methods to
> provide configured or calculated values. Assumptions that the keystore and
> key passwords are the master secret should be removed; however, if a password
> cannot be found via the AliasService, the fallback value should the master
> secret.
