Hi,

Before I begin: I am in the process of building a new serverstructure within my company using all puppet, foreman, devops and all the other buzzwords the fly around and actually work pretty well. The backbone of my (Repository) Release-Management is pulp for which I wrote a rest-client to handle Repository and Release stuff in a defined way and everything works quite well. So a big "Thank you" for building pulp!



I plan to grant permissions on specific repositories to specific users, so they can sync, upload etc their software without my help.

I want my users, to be able to list all repositories. As admin, I call "pulp-admin rpm repo list". According to the .pulp/server_calls, the request is 'GET request to /pulp/api/v2/repositories/ with parameters None'.

So here is what I tried:

=========

root@pulpserver:~ # pulp-admin auth permission grant --login=myuser --resource=/repositories -o read Permissions [/repositories : ['READ']] successfully granted to user [myuser]

=========

myuser@myserver:~ # pulp-admin rpm repo list
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
                                             RPM Repositories
+--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+

Authentication Failed

The session certificate expired on Dec 2 14:18:47 2013 GMT. Use the login command to begin a new session.

=========

myuser@myserver:~ # tail .pulp/admin.log
self.all_repos_cache = self.context.server.repo.repositories(query_params).response_body File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/bindings/repository.py", line 33, in repositories
    return self.server.GET(path, query_parameters)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/bindings/server.py", line 84, in GET
    return self._request('GET', path, queries)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/bindings/server.py", line 142, in _request
    self._handle_exceptions(response_code, response_body)
File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/bindings/server.py", line 183, in _handle_exceptions
    raise code_class_mappings[response_code](response_body)
PermissionsException: Permission Denied

=========

myuser@myserver:~ # tail .pulp/server_calls.log

2013-11-25 15:18:54,314 - INFO - Response body :
 "Permission Denied"

2013-11-25 15:19:15,375 - INFO - GET request to /pulp/api/v2/repositories/ with parameters None
2013-11-25 15:19:15,375 - INFO - Response status : 401

2013-11-25 15:19:15,376 - INFO - Response body :
 "Permission Denied"
=========

The "Authentication Failed" Message is misleading, as the session certificate is valid and it is indeed not a Authentication Failure but a Permission Error. Maybe that can be clarified in future releases.


I then tried to widen the permission with

root@pulp1:~ # pulp-admin auth permission grant --login=myuser --resource=/repositories/ -o read Permissions [/repositories/ : ['READ']] successfully granted to user [myuser]

root@pulp1:~ # pulp-admin auth permission grant --login=myuser --resource=/v2/repositories -o read Permissions [/v2/repositories : ['READ']] successfully granted to user [myuser]

root@pulp1:~ # pulp-admin auth permission grant --login=myuser --resource=/api/v2/repositories -o read Permissions [/api/v2/repositories : ['READ']] successfully granted to user [myuser]

root@pulp1:~ # pulp-admin auth permission grant --login=myuser --resource=/pulp/api/v2/repositories -o read Permissions [/pulp/api/v2/repositories : ['READ']] successfully granted to user [myuser]


- but the Permissions Error kept going. I was only able to list the repositories as user, when I set the resource to '/'.

* Am I using the correct --resource parameter?
* Should it work the way I thought?
* Do you have any hints for me?

I am using pulp 2.1.3 on a RHEL6.3 x86_64

best regards,
florian
