Geode is introducing additional security features which allow finer grained control for JMX operations as well as GFSH commands and Pulse. Additional information can be found here: Geode Integrated Security changes for authentication and authorization.
To quickly get started using permissions for JMX and GFSH a sample implementation of comof org.gemstoneapache.gemfiregeode.security.Authenticator and com.gemstone.gemfire.security.AccessControl
is SecurityManager is provided by the class comorg.apache.gemstonegeode.gemfireexamples.security.templatesExampleSecurityManager
. SampleJsonAuthorization. This implementation requires a JSON file which defines the allowed users and their corresponding permissions. For example:
Code Block |
---|
{ "roles": [ { "name": "cluster", "operationsAllowed": [ "CLUSTER:MANAGE", "CLUSTER:WRITE", "CLUSTER:READ" ] }, { "name": "data", "operationsAllowed": [ "DATA:MANAGE", "DATA:WRITE", "DATA:READ" ] }, { "name": "region1&2Reader", "operationsAllowed": [ "DATA:READ" ], "regions": ["region1", "region2"] } ], "users": [ { "name": "super-user", "password": "1234567", "roles": [ "cluster", "data" ] }, { "name": "joebloggs", "password": "1234567", "roles": [ "data" ] } ] } |
In this example sample "security.json" file, we have two roles defined: cluster and data. The cluster role can perform cluster level operations like list members, whereas the data role can access/store data in Regions. The data role only has access to two regions: region1 and region2.
To start using this sample perform the following steps:
Copy the above "security.json" file into locator's and server's directory (locator1 and server1 in the example below).
Using gfsh, start a locator with security activated. In the example below, we disable peer-to-peer security for simplicity of configuration
Code Block language bash gfsh> start locator --name=locator1 \ --J=-Dgemfire.security-client-authenticator=com.gemstone.gemfiremanager=org.apache.geode.examples.security.templates.SampleJsonAuthorization.create \ ExampleSecurityManager --J=-Dgemfire.security-client-accessor=com.gemstone.gemfire.security.templates.SampleJsonAuthorization.createclasspath=.
Similarly, start a server (you will need to provide user/password in order to join the cluster. The user needs to have cluster:manage privilege). Notice server is started with a security-manager, but since locator's cluster configuration is enabled, the security-manager setting will be distributed to the server automatically. This ensures that the entire cluster is using the same security-manager.
Similarly, start a server
Code Block gfsh> start server --name=server1 --locators=localhost[10334] \ --classpath=. \ --user=super-user --password=1234567
Start a new instance of gfsh and connect with one of the users defined in your JSON file. The super-user should be allowed to do everything in gfsh.
Code Block gfsh> connect --locatorslocator=localhost[10334] --user=super-user --password=1234567
Disconnect and reconnect with a user with lesser privileges:
Code Block gfsh> disconnect gfsh> connect --locatorslocator=localhost[10334] --user=joebloggs --password=1234567 gfsh> stop server --name=server1 An error occurred while attempting to stop a Cache Server: Subject does not have permission [CLUSTER:READ]
- Currently, changes to the security.json file require the locator to be restarted.
