Rakesh R commented on ZOOKEEPER-1045:
-------------------------------------
Thanks everyone for putting all the use cases and active discussions. Let me
try to summarize all the problems and proposed solutions.
*Point-1)* ??Prevent another user from getting Kerberos credentials for
{{zk/<badhost>@EXAMPLE.COM}}, and don't want them to be able to join my
cluster.??
Like [~phunt], [~hanm] explained we could make use of zoo.cfg as the source of
authorization information and replace the _HOST part in {{user/_HOST@REALM}}.
Since admins can configure ZK server details as host name or ipaddress or fqdn
in zoo.cfg, server should have a mechanism to resolve this to fully qualified
domain name for this IP address. Sometime back I've attached
{{HOST_RESOLVER-ZK-1045.patch}} idea (thanks to hadoop project [hadoop
SecurityUtil
ref.|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/branch-2.8/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/security/SecurityUtil.java#L570]),
which is an independent patch to prepare QuorumServer kerberos principal by
resolving the host address of ZK server to
InetAddress.getLocalHost().getCanonicalHostName() and expects principal like
zk/[email protected]. This principal will be used by the quorum peer learner to
talk to another quorum peer server during FLE. Here the implicit requirement
is, admin has to ensure that the configured kerberos principal name should be
resolved to fully qualified domain name for this IP address.
* For authorization every server will compare the full principal name that
composed of {{user/host@realm}}. For doing this every server will cross check
with the list of known quorum server principals built from zoo.cfg file.
+Ensemble-1 :-+
quorum server principal list => {{zk/[email protected], zk/[email protected],
zk/[email protected]}}
+Ensemble-2 :-+
quorum server principal list => {{zk/[email protected], zk/[email protected],
zk/[email protected]}}
* For authentication, quorum learner server will get the remote quorum server
principal name and then do authentication. For example, host1 will get host2
principal {{zk/[email protected]}} and do authenticate.
Does this make sense?
*Point-2)* ??Feature of KDC that it will treat repeated attempts to log in with
the same Kerberos principal within a short period of time as replay attacks and
will reject such login requests. Since we are supporting shared Kerberos
credential, we might hit this issue.??
Good catch, Michael. [~cnauroth], I hope you are pointing me to the hadoop code
[Client.java#L699|https://github.com/apache/hadoop/blob/branch-2.8/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/main/java/org/apache/hadoop/ipc/Client.java#L699],
isn't it? I'll try to understand this part and get back to you.
*Point-3)* ??How would we authorize against something that is not
pre-configured? Basically the dynamic reconfiguration of servers (addition and
removal). Also, supports upgrade from 3.4 to 3.5 and above.??
[~shralex], IIUC, dynamic reconfig feature is continue using the zoo.cfg
configuration file to keep the quorum info and while processing the
reconfiguration request, it will always update the zoo.cfg file and ensure this
file is uptodate. In that case each server will get the details of newly added
server and during this time we should accommodate the logic of updating the
{{quorum server principal list}} with the newly added server or removed server
details, if any. But there is a case, <badhost> server tries to join
{{zk/<badhost>@EXAMPLE.COM}}, I think this has to be restricted at the reconfig
command execution side rather than FLE, probably ZOOKEEPER-2014 jira will help
to resolve this problem, am I missing anything?

> This bug, on the other hand, is for authentication among quorum peers.
> Hopefully much of the work done on SASL integration with Zookeeper for
> ZOOKEEPER-938 can be used as a foundation for this enhancement.
