Also worth noting is that this assumes both keystones have the same
fernet keys, so as to be able to generate tokens that the other can read.

From memory, the whole point of this exercise from the regulations side
was to make it so that data isn't 'replicated' and if one keystone was
compromised, the other wouldn't be, but if the fernet keys are the same,
then its still very bad if the host is compromised, since with the
fernet keys from the compromised keystone, you can now make bogus tokens
that the other keystone would trust. So that still doesn't solve the
problem and still probably falls out of regulations. In truth most of
this sounds like a loop hole around the regulations anyway rather than
honoring what they might intend (would be interesting to find out more
about that).

Unless I'm misremembering, this is all so that users in both 'regions'
can pretend it's all part of the same cloud, when in truth it isn't
really, and the regulations require that they are separate. Making that
fact clear, and that users have to swap between clouds, or generate a
token for each isn't that bad, and is overall much much safer. The user
can have the same project name in both, and getting a token from either
is as simple as just changing the auth url. Writing code to account for
this difference is probably easier than trying to solve this problem in
keystone and introducing weird potential security problems. :(

Re: [openstack-dev] [keystone] multiple federated keystones with single Identity Provider

[Adam Heczko]

Hi Pavlo, I think that there are viable alternatives to your specific use
case having single external idp for federated auth.
Depending on your IT environment architecture and preferences you have the
following possibilities, both of them are providing very smooth user
experience:
- in AD centric environments connect each of Keystone services to AD and
leverage Kerberos for SSO. You can consume REMOTE_USER and other variables
from AD directly via mod_auth_gssapi and mod_lookup_identity. Advantage of
this approach is that you can leverage AD native SSO mechanism based on
SPNEGO. So you are not any longer  forcing users to perform SAML or OIDC
referrals etc.
- in both AD or non AD centric environments you can leverage 'Tokenless
Auth' plugin, which basically can also be used with Keystone to issue
tokens (e.g. Fernet) and perform token scoping based on X.509 certificate
properties. You can also configure specific X.509 certificate attributes
e.g. SAN or subjectDirectoryAttributes to control access for specific
region or Keystone instance.

There is also cache invalidation issue. And that would make tokens of
various scope behave in a different manner. A year ago i was -2 on this,
and i still don't think this is a good idea.

If there is a demand to control several clouds from single place,
K2K support should be added where it is needed.

I had a snippet about it in my recap under the "Other Feedback" section
[0]. The TL;DR in my opinion is that we originally thought we could
solve the problem with federation 100%, and if we couldn't we wanted to
try and improve the parts of federation that would make that possible.

The interesting bit we came up with during the feedback session in
Sydney is what happens if a user no longer has a role on a project. For
example;

- A user has a role on Project A and in the us-east region and the
us-west region, each region has it's own keystone deployment, but let's
assume the ID for Project A are the same in each region
- A user authenticates for a token scoped to Project A and starts
creating instances in both regions
- The user has their role from Project A removed in us-east, but not in
us-west
- The user isn't able to do anything within us-east since they no longer
have a role assignment on Project A in that region, but they can still
take the invalid token from the us-east region and effectively use it in
the us-west region

Without replicating revocation events, or syncing the assignment table,
this will lead to security concerns.

No, it is not currently possible to use the same token on projects in
different keystones, for the reasons you gave. You might be interested
in following https://review.openstack.org/#/c/323499/ if you're not
already aware of it, which has the goal of solving that problem.

Re: [openstack-dev] [keystone] multiple federated keystones with single Identity Provider

[Кирилл Беспалов]

Hi, Pavlo.

Looks like it's not just project/domain UUID should be equal, but also
audit_id, endpoints_id, protocol_id, roles_id and many other entities.
So, looks like it is not possible to implement this using current code
base, but I could be wrong.

You can take a look at mapped auth plugin [1] in order to investigate what
exactly should be the same (ids).


Thanks.

[openstack-dev] [keystone] multiple federated keystones with single Identity Provider

[Pavlo Shchelokovskyy]

Hi all,

We have a following use case - several independent keystones (say KeyA and
KeyB), using fernet tokens and synchronized fernet keys, and single
external IdP for federated auth.

Is it generally possible to configure both KeyA and KeyB such that scoped
token issued by KeyA for a federated user is valid on KeyB?

Currently we have the next problem - although domains/projects where
keystone's mapping engine assigns federated users are equal by name between
KeyA and KeyB, the UUIDs of projects/domains in KeyA and KeyB  are
different, which seems to invalidate the scoped token issued by KeyA when
trying to use it for KeyB. And it is not possible to create
projects/domains with specific UUIDs via keystone API (which would probably
solve this problem for non-autoprovisioned projects).

Is such usage scenario supported? Or one should always use the unscoped
token first to list projects/domains available on a specific keystone
instance and then get a scoped token for usage o this instance only?
