Alexander Rojas commented on MESOS-5615:
----------------------------------------
After discussing this issue there are four alternatives we could consider:
#. Do nothing in Mesos, if framework writers want to do authorization on labels
from the {{ExecutorInfo}} they will have to set one. _Disadvantages_: Some
values of the {{ExecutorInfo}} in the command executor case are based on Mesos
configuration which wouldn't be available to frameworks.
#. If the command info is used, set the {{task_info}} field on the
{{authorization::Object}} message instead of the {{executor_info}} one.
#. Copy all labels and similar meta data from the {{TaskInfo}} to the generated
{{ExecutorInfo}}. _Advantage_: Keeps code changes concise and localized.
_Disadvantages_: It increases the memory footprint of the agent's bookkeeping
classes, since possible big blobs would be kept in memory on different objects.
#. Make the {{task_info}} field on the {{authorizer::Object}} repeated instead
of optional, and add all tasks associated to the executor to the authorization
fields.

> Key: MESOS-5615
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-5615
> Project: Mesos
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: modules, security, slave
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0
> Reporter: Alexander Rojas
> Priority: Blocker
> Labels: authorization, mesosphere, modularization, security
>
> The design for sandbox access authorization uses the {{ExecutorInfo}}
> associated with the task as the main authorization space and the
> {{FrameworkInfo}} as a secondary one. This allows module writes to use fields
> such a labels for authorization.
> When a task uses the _command executor_ it doesn't provide an
> {{ExecutorInfo}}, but the info object is generated automatically inside the
> agent. As such, information which could be used for authorization (e.g.
> labels) is not available for authorization.
