======================================================
|
||||
Support Keystoneless Undercloud (basic auth or noauth)
|
||||
======================================================
|
||||
|
||||
The goal of this proposal is to introduce the community to the idea of
|
||||
removing Keystone from TripleO undercloud and run the remaining OpenStack
|
||||
services either with basic authentication or noauth (i.e. Standalone mode).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Problem Description
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
With the goal of having a thin undercloud we've been simplifying the
|
||||
undercloud architecture since a few cycles and have removed a number
|
||||
of OpenStack services. After moving to use `network_data_v2`_ and
|
||||
`ephemeral_heat`_ by default, we are left only with neutron, ironic
|
||||
and ironic-inspector services.
|
||||
|
||||
Keystone authentication and authorization does not add lot of value to the
|
||||
undercloud. We use `admin` and `admin` project for everything. There are
|
||||
also few service users (one per service) for communication between services.
|
||||
Most of the overcloud deployment and configuration is done as the os user.
|
||||
Also, for large deployments we increase token expiration time to a large
|
||||
value which is orthogonal to keystone security.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Proposed Change
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
Overview
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
At present, we have keystone running in the undercloud providing catalog,
|
||||
authentication/authorization services to the remaining deployed services
|
||||
neutron, ironic and ironic-inspector. Ephemeral heat uses a fake keystone
|
||||
client which does not talk to keystone.
|
||||
|
||||
All these remaining services are capabale of running standalone using either
|
||||
`http_basic` or `noauth` auth_strategy and clients using openstacksdk and
|
||||
keystoneauth can use `HTTPBasicAuth` or `NoAuth` identity plugins with the
|
||||
standalone services.
|
||||
|
||||
The proposal is to deploy these OpenStack services either with basic auth or
|
||||
noauth and remove keystone from the undercloud by default.
|
||||
|
||||
- Deploy ironic/ironic-inspector/neutron with `http_basic` (default) or `noauth`
|
||||
|
||||
This would also allow us to remove some additional services like `memcached`
|
||||
from the undercloud mainly used for authtoken caching.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Alternatives
|
||||
------------
|
||||
|
||||
- Keep keystone in the undercloud as before.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Security Impact
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
There should not be any significant security implications by disabling keystone
|
||||
on the undercloud as there are no multi-tenancy and RABC requirements for
|
||||
undercloud users/operators. Deploying baremetal and networking services with `http_basic` authentication would protect against any possible intrusion as before.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Upgrade Impact
|
||||
--------------
|
||||
|
||||
There will be no upgrade impact; this change will be transparent to the
|
||||
end-user.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other End User Impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Performance Impact
|
||||
------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling authentication and authorization would make the API calls faster and
|
||||
the overall resource requirements of undercloud would reduce.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Other Deployer Impact
|
||||
---------------------
|
||||
|
||||
None
|
||||
|
||||
Developer Impact
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
None.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Implementation
|
||||
==============
|
||||
|
||||
- Add THT support for configuring `auth_strategy` for ironic and neutron
|
||||
services and manage htpasswd files used for basic authentication by the
|
||||
ironic services.
|
||||
|
||||
.. code-block:: yaml
|
||||
|
||||
IronicAuthStrategy: http_basic
|
||||
NeutronAuthStrategy: http_basic
|
||||
|
||||
- Normally, Identity service middleware provides a X-Project-Id header based on
|
||||
the authentication token submitted by the service client. However when keystone
|
||||
is not available neutron expects `project_id` in the `POST` requests (i.e create
|
||||
API). Also, metalsmith communicates with `neutron` to create `ctlplane` ports for
|
||||
instances.
|
||||
|
||||
Add a middleware for neutron API `http_basic` pipeline to inject a fake project_id
|
||||
in the context.
|
||||
|
||||
- Add basic authentication middleware to oslo.middleware and use it for undercloud
|
||||
neutron.
|
||||
|
||||
- Create/Update clouds.yaml to use `auth_type: http_basic` and use endpoint overrides
|
||||
for the public endpoints with `<service_name>_endpoint_override` entries. We
|
||||
would leverage the `EndpointMap` and change `extraconfig/post_deploy` to create
|
||||
and update clouds.yaml.

||||

||||
