1. delegation.token.max.lifetime.ms : The token has a maximum lifetime beyond which it cannot be renewed anymore. Default value 7 days.

2. delegation.token.expiry.time.ms : The token validity time in seconds before the token needs to be renewed. Default value 1 day.

3. delegation.token.master.key : masterKey/secret to generate and verify delegation tokens. This masterKey/secret needs to be configured with all the brokers. If  Same secret key must be configured across all the brokers.  If the masterKey/secret is not set or set to empty string, brokers will disable the delegation token support.

...

...

The MasterKey/secret is used to generate and verify delegation tokens. This is supplied using config option. This Same secret needs to key must be configured with across all the brokers. The current proposal does not support rotation of secret. If  If the secret is not set or set to empty string, brokers will disable the delegation token support. The current proposal does not support rotation of secret.

Procedure to manually rotate the secret:

We require a re-deployment when the secret needs to be rotated. During this process, already connected clients will continue to work. But any new connection requests and renew/expire requests with old tokens can fail.

• expire all existing tokens
• rotate the secret by rolling upgrade, and
• generate new tokens

Token acquisition

Following steps describe how tokens can be acquired:

...

Token is stored in Zookeeper as properties in the path /tokenauthdelegation_token/tokens/<tokenUID>. S  During server startup and token creation, scram credentials are generated during token creation. We will use password=HMAC, iterations=4096 for scram credential generation.and stored in memory (TokenCache).  

//Delegation Token Details for tokenID token123: Zookeeper persistence path /tokenauth/tokens/token123
{
   "version":1,
   "owner" : "owner",
   "renewer" : "renewer",
   "issueDateissueTimestamp" : "issueDateissueTimestamp",
   "tokenIDmaxTimestamp" : "sequence-numbermaxTimestamp",
   //Store SCRAM credentials as per KIP-84
 "expiryTimestamp" : "expiryTimestamp",
   "credentialstokenID" : {
          "SCRAM-SHA-512" : "salt=djR5dXdtZGNqamVpeml6NGhiZmMwY3hrbg==,stored_key=sb5jkqStV9RwPVTGxG1ZJHxF89bqjsD1jT4S...==,server_key=...,iterations=4096",
          "SCRAM-SHA-256" : "salt=10ibs0z7xzlu6w5ns0n188sis5,stored_key=+Acl/wi1vLZ95Uqj8rRHVcSp6qrdfQIwZbaZBwM0yvo=,server_key=nN+fZauE6vG0hmFAEj/49+2yk0803y67WSXMYkgh77k=,iterations=4096"
    }
};

SCRAM Extensions

SCRAM messages have an optional extensions field which is a comma-separated list of key=value pairs.
After KIP-84 implementation , an extension will be added to the first client SCRAM message to indicate
that authentication is being requested for a delegation token. This will enable Kafka broker to obtain
credentials and principal using a different code path for delegation tokens.

JAAS configuration

KafkaClient {
	org.apache.kafka.common.security.scram.ScramLoginModule required
	username="test123"
	password="ab24267ac3e827e00e57cdf98465baccecbbeced512e90a719026177e04e547e";
    tokenauth=true
};

DelegationToken Client

We will be providing a DelegationToken Client using which users can generate, renew and expire the tokens. This may part of AdminClient implementation  (KIP-4).

We will be providing a DelegationToken Client using which users can generate, renew and expire the tokens. This may part of AdminClient implementation  (KIP-4).

public class DelegationTokenClient  {

    public TokenDetails generateToken(List<String> renewers, long maxLifeTime);

    public boolean renewToken(bytes[] hmac,  long renewPeriod);

    public boolean expireToken(bytes[] hmac, long expireTimeStamp);

public class DelegationTokenClient  {

    public TokenDetailsboolean generateToken(List<String> renewers, long maxLifeTime);

    public boolean renewToken(bytesinvalidateToken(bytes[] hmac,  long renewPeriod);
 
    public booleanList<TokenDetails> expireToken(bytes[] hmac, long expireTimeStampdescribeTokens();

    public booleanvoid invalidateTokenclose(bytes[] hmac);
 
    public List<TokenDetails> describeTokens();

    public void close();

}

Command line tool

 We will provide a CLI to acquire delegation tokens, renew tokens and to invalidate/expire tokens. 

Changes to Java Clients (producer/consumer)

KIP-85 allows dynamic JAAS configuration for Kafka clients. After this we can easily configure the
delegation token for SCRAM-SHA-256 authentication.

Below diagram shows the steps required to use the delegation tokens.

...

}

Command line tool

We will provide a commandline script to acquire delegation tokens, renew tokens, invalidate/expire and to describe tokens. 

bin/kafka-delegation-token.sh --bootstrap-server broker1:9092 --create --renewer renewer1,renewer2 --max-life-time 1486750745585
bin/kafka-delegation-token.sh --bootstrap-server broker1:9092 --renew --hmac hmacString --renew-time-period 50745585

ACL

Currently, we only allow a user to create delegation token for that user only. Renew and expire requests should come from owner or renewers of the token. So we don't need ACLs for create/renew/expire requests.  

Owners and the renewers can always describe their own tokens. To describe others tokens, we can add DESCRIBE operation on Token Resource.  In future, when we extend the support to allow a user to acquire delegation tokens for other users, then we can enable CREATE/DELETE operations.

Q/A

Q1. Is there any dependency on Hadoop APIs/Libraries?
