------------------------------------
bq. So it only replaces auth with sasl iff the user principal matches with the
current user
Ok, I think I got to the bottom of this. {{PrepRequestProcessor#fixupACL(List,
List)}} is what is doing this ZK server-side.
{code}
} else if (id.getScheme().equals("auth")) {
// This is the "auth" id, so we have to expand it to the
// authenticated ids of the requestor
it.remove();
if (toAdd == null) {
toAdd = new LinkedList<ACL>();
}
boolean authIdValid = false;
for (Id cid : authInfo) {
AuthenticationProvider ap =
ProviderRegistry.getProvider(cid.getScheme());
if (ap == null) {
LOG.error("Missing AuthenticationProvider for "
+ cid.getScheme());
} else if (ap.isAuthenticated()) {
authIdValid = true;
toAdd.add(new ACL(a.getPerms(), cid));
}
}
if (!authIdValid) {
return false;
}
}
{code}
When the ACL is for {{auth}}, it looks at the authentication for the user
making this request ({{cid}}) and sets the ACL to be the scheme and user of the
current user (thus, {{sasl:hbase}}).
We can confirm that when there is no authentication, an auth scheme ACL is
rejected:
{noformat}

Just to confirm: given the above, [~enis], you're still +1?
> Incorrect ZK ACL set for HBase superuser
> ----------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-17717
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17717
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: security, Zookeeper
> Reporter: Shreya Bhat
> Assignee: Josh Elser
> Fix For: 2.0.0, 1.3.1, 1.1.10, 1.2.6
>
> Attachments: HBASE-17717.001.patch
>
>
> Shreya was doing some testing of a deploy of HBase, verifying that the ZK
> ACLs were actually set as we expect (yay, security).
> She noticed that, in some cases, we were seeing multiple ACLs for the same
> user.
> {noformat}
> 'world,'anyone
> : r
> 'sasl,'hbase
> : cdrwa
> 'sasl,'hbase
> : cdrwa
> {noformat}
> After digging into this (and some insight from the mighty [~enis]), we
> realized that this was happening because of an overridden value for
> {{hbase.superuser}}. However, the ACL value doesn't match what we'd expect to
> see (as hbase.superuser was set to {{cstm-hbase}}).
> After digging into this code, it seems like the {{auth}} ACL scheme in
> ZooKeeper does not work as we expect.
> {code}
> if (superUser != null) {
> acls.add(new ACL(Perms.ALL, new Id("auth", superUser)));
> }
> {code}
> In the above, the {{"auth"}} scheme ignores any provided "subject" in the
> {{Id}} object. It *only* considers the authentication of the current
> connection. As such, our usage of this never actually sets the ACL for the
> superuser correctly.
