Pre-release

This release is a pre-release and may not be stable for production use.

FEUDAL Client Adapter

This code implements the adapter for FEUDAL to communicate with various services, called "backends".

Distributed with the adapter are backends for BWIDM and UNIX.

Installation

From PyPi

  • pip install feudalAdapter

From Source

  • Git clone: git clone git@codebase.helmholtz.cloud:m-team/feudal/feudalAdapterLdf.git
  • Build package: cd feudalAdapterLDF; ./setup.py sdist
  • Install package: pip install dist/feudalAdapter-$version.tar.gz

Configuration

The config file contains both the generic config, as well as for specific backends.

Configuration Template

See feudal_adapter_template.conf

Config file search path

The config file feudal_adapter.conf will be searched in several places. Once it is found no further config files will be considered:

  • If the commandline argument --config is specified, that location is used.

  • If the feudal_globalconf mechanism is used, it is used. In case there is also a commandline argument specified, the globaldconf has precedence

  • If those dont work: the environment variable FEUDAL_ADAPTER_CONFIG is used

  • If that does not work, these files will be tried by default:

  • feudal_adapter.conf

  • $HOME/.config/feudal_adapter.conf

  • $HOME/.config/feudal/feudal_adapter.conf

  • /etc/feudal/feudal_adapter.conf

Input and Output

The FeudalAdapter is designed to work with feudalClient and hence expects specific json on stdin, and produces specific json on stdout.

The was initially defined here (feudalScripts)

An extension is implemented, to work with Motley Cue, therefore, we feudalAdapterLDF supports additional targets. Most of these targets do not require the full userinfo to be passed along:

Target Description Input required Optional input
deployed Make sure the user exists on the system Full userinfo ssh-keys
not_deployed Make sure the user is not on the system sub+iss
get_status Get the current status of the user without changing it

A more detailed view of all the supported user states, as well as actions leading to these states, can be found in states.md.

Development

Debugging

For development you can use the included json files in the examples folder and pass them on stdin:

cd [...]/feudalAdapterLDF
export PYTHONPATH=`pwd`
export LOG=DEBUG

cat examples/marcus-deploy.json | ./ldf_adapter/interface.py

Debugging with FeudalClient:

For debugging, run the feudalClient with:

LOG=DEBUG feudalClient -c ~/.config/feudal/client.json --debug-scripts

Development

feudalAdapter can also be used as a library; For that you can use the feudal_globalconfig to keep it from parsing your commandline paramenters:

from feudal_globalconfig import globalconfig
globalconfig.config['CONFIGFILE']="/etc/feudal/feudal_adapter_mailping.conf"
globalconfig.config['parse_commandline_args']=False
from ldf_adapter import User

Supported Backends

Backends are simply python modules. The supported backends are in the backends folder.

The backend is configured in the main config file, and may create and use its own sections therein.

[ldf_adapter]
backend = my_backend

[backend.my_backend]
foo = bar
# Configuration for your backend goes here

Supported backends:

Development

To add a new backend:

  • extend the User and Group classes in the generic backend by implementing all the required abstract methods
  • the extended classes must also be named User and Group
  • place the classes in a python file in ldf_adapter/backend (e.g. my_backend.py)
  • the name of the backend will be the name of the file, and it will be loaded dynamically when used (e.g. my_backend)
  • use the new backend by setting the backend in the [ldf_adapter] section in the config file to your new backend name
    [ldf_adapter]
    backend = my_backend
    
  • if you need to add any configuration for your backend, add a new section in the config file:
    [backend.my_backend]
    key1 = value1
    key2 = value2
    
  • define types and default values for the configuration in ldf_adapter/config.py (check out the comments on adding a new section)
  • you will then be able to use these configuration values in your backend with:
    from ldf_adapter.config import CONFIG
    print("key1: ", CONFIG.backend.my_backend.key1)
    print("key2: ", CONFIG.backend.my_backend.key2)
    

Approval workflow

The feudalAdapter also supports a so-called approval workflow, which allows site admins to oversee all deployment requests from users, and accept or reject them manually. This workflow uses additional user states (pending, rejected), as well as a local database for storing deployment requests.

How it works:

  • on a request to reach the deployed state, a local user (+ its groups) is "reserved" by storing this deployment request in the local database
  • the response to this request is a "pending" user
  • the site admin is notified of this request (currently supported notification systems: email)
    • for local_unix backend, notification contains all necessary useradd, usermod commands
    • for ldap backend, notification contains LDIF representation
  • the site admin can then accept or reject this request by manually adding the user or, if supported, using "accepted"/"rejected" as state_target
  • users are not notified of acceptance/rejection
  • subsequent deployment requests for existing users check if there have been changes to the userinfo (e.g. group memberships) and notify the admin only when updates are necessary.

Configuration

Enable and configure the approval in the config file:

[approval]
enabled = True

### user db location -- default: /var/lib/feudal/pending_users.db
# currently, only sqlite is used as db for pending requests.
# user_db_location = /var/lib/feudal/pending_users.db

### notifier -- default: email
# how to notify admins of incoming deployment requests; supported: email
# to test that the configuration works, try `feudal-adapter --test`
notifier = email

The email notifier will need to be configured, as it will not work out of the box. You'll need an SMTP server for sending emails. If your organisation does not provide one, you can use gmail (requires you to create and provide an app password).

A few more configs:

  • sent_from: the address that the emails will be sent from
  • admin_email: the email of the site admin that will approve the requests
  • templates_dir: the folder where the email templates are located. Please make sure that the folder exists and contains all the files from templates. When installing feudalAdapter via pip, this folder is installed at etc/feudal/templates, relative to your python path. You are free to modify the content of the files.

To test that your email notification system works, run:

feudal-adapter --test

Unit Tests

There are unit tests, located under tests (The package structure in tests corresponds to that of the main package). To run the tests, just do:

tox

Integration with Feudal:

  • Edit the FEUDAL Client config file (e.g. ~/.config/feudal/client.yaml) to include:
    services:
        "mclientservice":
            "name": "Demo Adapter"
            "description": "Works so well"
            "command": "feudal-adapter --conf /etc/feudal/feudal_adapter.conf"

This goes away sooner or later

RegApp REST Interface

The rest interface of the LDAP facade supports the calls documented here.

For configuration we use these environment variables

USER="username"
PASS="password"
ENDP="https://bwidm-test.scc.kit.edu/rest"

Create user

curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
    -X POST -d '{"externalId":"marcus-test-1"}' \
    $ENDP/external-user/create

Benutzer anlegen:

Zum Anlegen reicht eine externalId. Mehr Werte sind im Grunde nicht
notwendig. Allerdings kann man mit diesem Benutzer dann noch nicht viel
anstellen. Die externalId stellt immer das prim??re
Identifizierungsmerkmal dar. Sie ist nicht ??nderbar.

Update user

Use this call to update the user object and to rewrite the generic store in the LDF.

curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS \
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"
    -X POST -d ' \
{"externalId":"test0002","eppn":"test0002@hdf.de","email":"test-diezweite@kit.edu","genericStore": { "ssh_key": "[{'value': 'ssh-rsa AA[..]0R', 'name': 'unity_key'}]" },"surName":"Testfamilie","givenName":"Hans","primaryGroup":{"id":1002637},"attributeStore":{"urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1":"test0002","http://bw idm.de/bwidmOrgId":"hdf"}}
' \
    $ENDP/external-user/update

The above, but reformatted:

curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS
    -H "Content-Type: application/json"
    -X POST -d '
        {
          "externalId": "test0002",
          "eppn": "test0002@hdf.de",
          "email": "test-diezweite@kit.edu",
          "genericStore": {
            "ssh_key": "[{'value': 'ssh-rsa AA[..]0R', 'name': 'unity_key'}]"
          },
          "surName": "Testfamilie",
          "givenName": "Hans",
          "primaryGroup": {
            "id": 1002637
          },
          "attributeStore": {
            "urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1": "test0002",
            "http://bw idm.de/bwidmOrgId": "hdf"
          }
        }
    '
    $ENDP/external-user/update

register user for service

curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS\
    $ENDP/external-reg/register/externalId/test0002/ssn/sshtest

Benutzer für einen Dienst registrieren: curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS $ENDP/external-reg/register/externalId/test0002/ssn/sshtest

Dabei ist es notwendig, dass die vom Dienst geforderten Attribute gesetzt sind. Das ist bei LDAP basierten Diensten normalerweise:

  • EPPN
  • E-Mail-Adresse
  • primaryGroup
  • surName, givenName (optional)
  • attributeStore: ** urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1 (Unix UserId - Anmeldename) ** http://bwidm.de/bwidmOrgId (soll "hdf", bzw. konfigurierbar sein)

Der Anmeldename des Benutzers setzt sich nachher aus orgId und UserId zusammen. Also z.B. hdf_test0002

Find user by unix user name

curl --basic -u $USER:$PASS $ENDP/external-user/find/attribute/urn:oid:0.9.2342.19200300.100.1.1/marcus

Will return multiple entries for different externalId . This is because multiple externalId can be mapped to the same unix account.
