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 authorization in 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 (cryptographically strong using SecureRandom) beginning with the sequence "ASIA" + - secretAccessKey - a generated String password (cryptographically strong using SecureRandom) + - sessionToken - a Base64-encoded 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 Review Comment: Does the reject means return a error message telling what is not supported? There are both reject and silently ignored. Shall we unify the behavior to reject if operations and fields are not supported? -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
