Feature #1489: More security with remote filebuckets
http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/1489

Status: Accepted
Priority: Low

Category: fileserving
Target version: Statler
Affected version: 0.24.4
Keywords: filebucket
Branch: 


Right now the remote filebucket is too limiting.  The biggest issue is security 
with files uploaded to puppetmater's filebucket.   In our case different 
clients have access to different VPS instances.  They should not be able to see 
or get info from the puppetmaster.

If using the filebucket setup and storing files, another server/VPS could gain 
access to those stored files.  Meaning the files stored are not tied to the 
server, so only that server can retrieve it from the filebucket

ie 

node00 stores a file on the puppetmaster

<pre>
  $ filebucket backup /etc/passwd --server=puppet
  /etc/passwd: 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949
</pre>

node01 can retrieve the file if it knows the md checksum.

<pre>
  $ filebucket restore /tmp/passwd 429b225650b912a2ee067b0a4cf1e949 
--server=puppet
</pre>

Granted guessing md checksum is pretty hard, but I'm assuming they can get that 
info from a log file.

This is BAD and the file retrieved could have sensitive information.  I propose 
the filebucket stores also the node the files came from and a possible option 
to allow selected clients to retrieve info not matching their cert.
