Property Protections
There are two types of image properties in Glance:
- Core Properties, as specified by the image schema.
- Meta Properties, which are arbitrary key/value pairs that can be added to an image.
Access to meta properties through Glance's public API calls may be restricted to certain sets of users, using a property protections configuration file.
This document explains exactly how property protections are configured and what they apply to.
Constructing a Property Protections Configuration File
A property protections configuration file follows the format of the
Glance API configuration file, which consists of sections, led by a
[section] header and followed by name = value
entries. Each section header is a regular expression matching a set of
properties to be protected.
Note
Section headers must compile to a valid regular expression, otherwise a 500 Internal Server Error will be thrown on server startup. Regular expressions will be handled by python's re module which is PERL like.
Each section describes four key-value pairs, where the key is one of
create/read/update/delete, and the value is a comma
separated list of user roles that are permitted to perform that
operation in the Glance API.
The path to the file should be specified in the
[DEFAULT] section of glance-api.conf as
follows.
property_protection_file=/path/to/file
If this config value is not specified, property protections are not enforced. If the path is invalid, a 500 Internal Server Error will be thrown on server startup.
Property protections are applied in the order specified in the
configuration file. This means that if for example you specify a section
with [.*] at the top of the file, all proceeding sections
will be ignored.
If a property does not match any of the given rules, all operations will be disabled for all roles.
If an operation is misspelled or omitted, that operation will be disabled for all roles.
Disallowing read operations will also disallow
update/delete operations.
A successful HTTP request will return status 200 OK. If
the user is not permitted to perform the requested action,
403 Forbidden will be returned.
V1 API X-glance-registry-Purge-props
Property protections will still be honoured if
X-glance-registry-Purge-props is set to True.
That is, if you request to modify properties with this header set to
True, you will not be able to delete or update properties
for which you do not have the relevant permissions. Properties which are
not included in the request and for which you do have delete permissions
will still be removed.
Examples
Example 1. Limit all property interactions to admin only.
[.*] create = admin read = admin update = admin delete = admin
Example 2. Allow both admins and users with the
billing role to read and modify properties prefixed with
x_billing_code_. Allow admins to read and modify any
properties.
[^x_billing_code_.*] create = admin,billing read = admin, billing update = admin,billing delete = admin,billing [.*] create = admin read = admin update = admin delete = admin
