+# AWS STS Design for Ozone S3
+
+# 1. Introduction
+
+S3 credentials used to communicate with Ozone S3 APIs are based on a Kerberos 
identity.
+
+Historically, the Ozone community has had interest in a REST API capable of 
programmatically generating 
+temporary S3 credentials.
+
+Amazon AWS has the [Security Token Service 
(STS)](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/welcome.html) which 
+provides the ability to generate short-lived access to resources.
+
+The primary scope of this document is to detail the initial implementation of 
STS within the Ozone ecosystem.
+
+# 2. Why Use STS Tokens?
+
+Providing short-lived access to various resources in Ozone is useful in 
scenarios such as Data Lake
+solutions that want to aggregate data across multiple cloud providers.
+
+# 3. How Ozone STS Works
+
+The initial implementation of Ozone STS supports only the 
[AssumeRole](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/STS/latest/APIReference/API_AssumeRole.html)
+API from the AWS specification.  A new STS endpoint `/sts` on port `9880` will 
be created to service STS requests in the S3 Gateway.
+
+Furthermore, the initial implementation of Ozone STS focuses only on Apache 
Ranger for the first phase, as it aligns more
+with IAM policies.  Support for the Ozone Native Authorizer may be provided in 
a future phase.  Consideration for the Ozone
+Native Authorizer will be given when processing IAM policies as described 
below.
+
+## 3.1 Capabilities
+
+The Ozone STS implementation has the following capabilities:
+
+- Create temporary credentials that last from a minimum of 15 minutes to a 
maximum of 12 hours. The
+return value of the AssumeRole call will be temporary credentials consisting 
of 3 components: 
+  - accessKeyId - a generated String identifier beginning with the sequence 
"ASIA"
+  - secretAccessKey - a generated String password
+  - sessionToken - an opaque String identifier
+- The temporary credentials will have the permissions associated with a role. 
Furthermore, an 
+[AWS IAM Session 
Policy](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/access_policies.html#policies_session)
 can 
+**optionally** be sent in the AssumeRole API call to limit the scope of the 
permissions further.  If 
+an IAM policy is specified, the temporary credential will have the permissions 
comprising the intersection of the role permissions
+and the IAM policy permissions. **Note:** If the IAM policy is specified and 
does not grant any permissions, then
+the generated temporary credentials won't have any permissions and will 
essentially be useless.
+
+## 3.2 Limitations in IAM Session Policy Support
+
+The AWS IAM policy specification is vast and wide-ranging.  The initial Ozone 
STS supports a limited
+subset of its capabilities.  The restrictions are outlined below:
+
+- The only supported prefix in ResourceArn is `arn:aws:s3:::` - all others 
will be rejected.  **Note**: a ResourceArn 
+of `*` is supported as well.
+- The only supported Condition operator is `StringEquals` - all others will be 
rejected.
+- The only supported Condition attribute is `s3:prefix` - all others will be 
rejected.
+- Only one Condition operator per Statement is supported - a Statement with 
more than one Condition will be rejected.
+- The only supported Effect is `Allow` - all others will be rejected.
+- If a (currently) unsupported S3 action is requested, such as 
`s3:GetAccelerateConfiguration`, it will be silently ignored.
+Similarly, an invalid S3 action will be silently ignored.
+- Supported wildcard expansions in Actions are: `s3:*`, `s3:Get*`, `s3:Put*`, 
`s3:List*`,
+`s3:Create*`, and `s3:Delete*`.
+- If using OzoneNativeAuthorizer, bucket wildcards (ex. ResourceArn 
`arn:aws:s3:::*`, `arn:aws:s3:::bucket*` or `*`) will be rejected,
+as wildcards are not supported for buckets for the OzoneNativeAuthorizer.
+However, certain object wildcards be accepted.   For example, ResourceArn 
`arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/*` and `arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/folder/logs/*`
+will be accepted but `arn:aws:s3:::myBucket/file*.txt`
+will not be accepted. Again, these restrictions correspond to the capabilities 
of the OzoneNativeAuthorizer.
+
+A sample IAM policy that allows read access to all objects in the 
`example-bucket` bucket is shown below:
+```JSON
+{
+    "Version": "2012-10-17",
+    "Statement": [
+        {
+            "Effect": "Allow",
+            "Action": "s3:GetObject",
+            "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::example-bucket/*"
+        }
+    ]
+}
+
+```
+
+## 3.3 SessionToken Format
+
+As mentioned above, one of the return values from the AssumeRole call will be 
the sessionToken. To support not
+storing temporary credentials server-side in Ozone, the sessionToken will 
comprise various components needed to validate
+subsequent S3 calls that use the token.  The sessionToken will have the 
following information encoded:
+
+- The originalAccessKeyId - this is the Kerberos identity of the user that 
created the sessionToken via the AssumeRole call.
+When the temporary credentials are used to make S3 API calls, this Kerberos 
identity (in conjunction with the role permissions and
+optional session policy) will be used to authorize the call.
+- The roleArn - the role used in the original AssumeRole call
+- The encrypted secretAccessKey - this will be used to validate the AWS 
signature when the temporary credentials are used 
+to make S3 API calls
+- (Optional) sessionPolicy - when using the RangerOzoneAuthorizer, if Ranger 
successfully authorizes the AssumeRole call,
+it will return a String representing the resources (i.e. buckets, keys, etc.) 
and permissions (i.e. ACLType) that the token
+has been granted access to.  This sessionPolicy will be included in the 
sessionToken sent back to the client so it can be sent to Ranger to 
+authorize subsequent S3 API calls that use the sessionToken.
+- HMAC-SHA256 signature - used to ensure the sessionToken was created by Ozone 
and was not altered since it was created.
+- The expiration time of the token (via 
`ShortLivedTokenIdentifier#getExpiry()`)
+- The UUID of the secret key used to sign the sessionToken and encrypt the 
secretAccessKey (via `ShortLivedTokenIdentifier#getSecretKeyId()`)
+
+## 3.5 STS Token Revocation
+
+In the rare event temporary credentials need to be revoked (ex. for security 
reasons), a table in RocksDB will be created
+to store revoked tokens, and a command-line utility will be created to add 
tokens to the table.  A background cleaner service
+will be created to run every 3 hours to delete revoked tokens that have been 
in the table for more than 12 hours.
+
+## 3.6 Prerequisites
+
+A user must be configured with a Kerberos identity in Ozone and the S3 
`getSecret` command
+must be called to issue permanent S3 credentials.  With these credentials, the 
AssumeRole API call can be made, but additional 
+steps below are needed for the call to be successfully authorized.  
+When using RangerOzoneAuthorizer, a role must be configured in Ranger UI for 
each role the AssumeRole API
+can be used with.  The user making the AssumeRole call must be in this role, 
and this role must have access
+to the (new) `ASSUME_ROLE` permission in Ranger, in addition to the 
volumes/buckets/keys and other permissions (such as `READ`,
+`LIST`, etc.) that are required.
+
+### 3.6.1 Additions to RangerOzoneAuthorizer
+
+The `IAccessAuthorizer` interface that both the RangerOzoneAuthorizer and 
OzoneNativeAuthorizer implement, will have a
+new method: 
+
+```java
+default String generateAssumeRoleSessionPolicy(AssumeRoleRequest 
assumeRoleRequest) throws OMException {
+    throw new OMException("The generateAssumeRoleSessionPolicy call is not 
supported", NOT_SUPPORTED_OPERATION);
+}
+```
+
+When using RangerOzoneAuthorizer, the AssumeRole API call must invoke this 
method to ensure the caller is authorized to create
+temporary credentials, given the criteria in the AssumeRoleRequest.  The 
AssumeRoleRequest input parameter will have the
+components:
+- `String` host - hostname of caller
+- `InetAddress` ip - IP address of caller
+- `UserGroupInformation` ugi - the user making the call
+- `String` targetRoleName - what role is being assumed
+- `Set<AssumeRoleRequest.OzoneGrant>` grants - further limiting the scope of 
the role according to the grants
+
+The grants parameter is optional, and would only be present if the AssumeRole 
API call had an IAM session policy JSON 
+parameter supplied.  A conversion utility, `IamSessionPolicyResolver` will 
process the IAM policy and convert it to a 
+`Set<AssumeRoleRequest.OzoneGrant>`, in effect translating from S3 
nomenclature for resources and actions to Ozone nomenclature of 
+`IOzoneObj` and `ACLType`.  Ranger would use all of this information to 
determine if the AssumeRole call should be 
+successfully authorized, and if so, it will return a String representation of 
the granted permissions and paths.  
+
+The format of this String is entirely up to the Ranger team.  What is required 
from the Ozone side is to supply this String to Ranger when any
+subsequent S3 API calls are made that use STS tokens.  In order to achieve 
this, the sessionPolicy String from Ranger will

   I sent Slack messages and an email asking for Ranger input.
