Alexander Rojas created MESOS-2948: -------------------------------------- Summary: Generalize authorizer interface in order to allow for arbitrary Subjects, Actions and Objects Key: MESOS-2948 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MESOS-2948 Project: Mesos Issue Type: Epic Components: master, security Reporter: Alexander Rojas
The current [{{mesos::Authorizer}}|https://github.com/apache/mesos/blob/40b596402521be25b93b9ef4edd8f5c727c9d20e/src/authorizer/authorizer.hpp] API has one method for each of the _actions_ supported (Register Framework, Launch Task and Shutdown Framework), and each of these _actions_ themselves define the _objects_ one which they operate. Currently, in case a new action needs to be authorized it is necessary to modify the {{mesos::Authorizer}} interface and all its implementations (currently only {{mesos::LocalAuthorizer}}), and add a new nested message to the {{ACL}} message in {{mesos.proto}}. An update to the API should allow for new _actions_ and _objects_ to be added without the need to change the {{mesos::Authorizer}} interface while encapsulating implementation details on how the authorization process is performed. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
