Note

You cannot apply a role-based access control (RBAC)-shared security group directly to an instance during instance creation. To apply an RBAC-shared security group to an instance you must first create the port, apply the shared security group to that port, and then assign that port to the instance. See Adding a security group to a port.

Making open source more inclusive

Red Hat is committed to replacing problematic language in our code, documentation, and web properties. We are beginning with these four terms: master, slave, blacklist, and whitelist. Because of the enormity of this endeavor, these changes will be implemented gradually over several upcoming releases. For more details, see our CTO Chris Wright’s message. :leveloffset: +0

Chapter 1. Preface

Identity service

As a cloud administrator, you can manage projects, users, and roles.

Projects are organizational units containing a collection of resources. You can assign users to roles within projects. Roles define the actions that those users can perform on the resources within a given project. Users can be assigned roles in multiple projects.

Each Red Hat OpenStack (RHOSP) deployment must include at least one user assigned to a role within a project. As a cloud administrator, you can:

  • Add, update, and delete projects and users.
  • Assign users to one or more roles, and change or remove these assignments.
  • Manage projects and users independently from each other.

You can also configure user authentication with the Identity service (keystone)to control access to services and endpoints. The Identity service provides token-based authentication and can integrate with LDAP and Active Directory, so you can manage users and identities externally and synchronize the user data with the Identity service.

Chapter 2. Managing users
Copy link

As a cloud administrator, you can add, modify, and delete users in the dashboard. Users can be members of one or more projects. You can manage projects and users independently from each other.

2.1. Creating users with the dashboard
Copy link

You can assign a primary project and role to the user. Users that you create with OpenStack Dashboard (horizon) are Identity service users by default. You can integrate Active Directory users by configuring the LDAP provider included with the Identity service.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as an admin user.
  2. Select Identity > Users.
  3. Click Create User.
  4. Enter a user name, email, and preliminary password for the user.
  5. Select a project from the Primary Project list.
  6. Select a role for the user from the Role list. The default role is member.
  7. Click Create User.

2.2. Editing users with the dashboard
Copy link

You can update user details, including the primary project.

Procedure

  1. Log in to the dashboard as an admin user.
  2. Select Identity > Users.
  3. In the Actions column, click Edit.
  4. In the Update User window, you can update the User Name, Email, and Primary Project.
  5. Click Update User.

You can disable a user with the dashboard. This action is reversible, unlike deleting a user.

Limitations:

  • You cannot disable or enable more than one user at a time.
  • You cannot set the primary project of a user to active.

The result is that the user you have disabled cannot:

  • Log into the dashboard.
  • Get access to RHOSP services.
  • Do any user-project action in the dashboard.

Procedure

  1. As an admin user in the dashboard, select Identity > Users.
  2. In the Actions column, click the arrow, and select Enable User or Disable User. In the Enabled column, the value then updates to either True or False.

2.4. Deleting a user with the dashboard
Copy link

You must be a user with an administrative role to delete other users. This action cannot be reversed.

  1. As an admin user in the dashboard, select Identity > Users.
  2. Select the users you want to delete.
  3. Click Delete Users. The Confirm Delete Users window is displayed.
  4. Click Delete Users to confirm the action.

Chapter 3. Managing roles
Copy link

Red Hat OpenStack Platform (RHOSP) uses a role-based access control (RBAC) mechanism to manage access to its resources. Roles define which actions users can perform. By default, there are two predefined roles:

  • A member role to attach to a project.
  • An administrative role to enable non-admin users to administer the environment.
Note

The Identity service (keystone) has also added the reader role that will show up in role listings. Do not use the reader role as it has not been integrated into other OpenStack projects, and provides inconsistent permissions across services.

You can also create custom roles specific to your environment.

When you assign a user the role of admin, this user has permissions to view, change, create, or delete any resource on any project. This user can create shared resources that are accessible across projects, such as publicly available glance images, or provider networks. Additionally, a user with the admin role can create or delete users and manage roles.

The project to which you assign a user the admin role is the default project in which openstack commands are executed. For example, if an admin user in a project named development runs the following command, a network called internal-network is created in the development project: 

openstack network create internal-network
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The admin user can create an internal-network in any project by using the --project parameter: 

openstack network create internal-network --project testing
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3.2. Viewing roles with the CLI
Copy link

As an administrator, you can view the details of existing roles

Procedure

  1. List the available predefined roles: 

    $ openstack role list
+----------------------------------+-----------------+
| ID                               | Name            |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+
| 01d92614cd224a589bdf3b171afc5488 | admin           |
| 034e4620ed3d45969dfe8992af001514 | member          |
| 0aa377a807df4149b0a8c69b9560b106 | ResellerAdmin   |
| 9369f2bf754443f199c6d6b96479b1fa | heat_stack_user |
| cfea5760d9c948e7b362abc1d06e557f | reader          |
| d5cb454559e44b47aaa8821df4e11af1 | swiftoperator   |
| ef3d3f510a474d6c860b4098ad658a29 | service         |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. View details for a specified role: 

    $ openstack role show admin
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Example

    $ openstack role show admin
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| Field     | Value                            |
+-----------+----------------------------------+
| domain_id | None                             |
| id        | 01d92614cd224a589bdf3b171afc5488 |
| name      | admin                            |
+-----------+----------------------------------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Note

To get detailed information on the permissions associated with each role, you must audit its access to each API call. For more information see Auditing API access.

3.3. Creating and Assigning roles with the CLI
Copy link

As an administrator, you can create and manage roles using the Identity service (keystone) client with the following set of commands. Each Red Hat OpenStack Platform deployment must include at least one project, one user, and one role, linked together.

You can assign users to more than one project. To assign users to multiple projects, create a role and assign that role to a user-project pair.

Note

You can use either the name or ID to specify users, roles, or projects.

Procedure

  1. Create a new-role role: 

    $ openstack role create <role_name>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. To assign a user to a project, first find the user, role, and project names or IDs by using the following commands:

    • openstack user list
    • openstack role list
    • openstack project list

  3. Assign a role to a user-project pair. 

    $ openstack role add <role_name> --user <user_name> --project <project_name>
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The following example assigns the admin role to the admin user in the demo project: 

    $ openstack role add admin --user admin --project demo
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Verify the role assignment for the user admin: 

    $ openstack role assignment list --user <user_name> --project <project_name> --names
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    The following example verifies that the admin user is assigned to the demo project with the role of admin. 

$ openstack role assignment list --user admin --project demo --names
+-------+---------------+-------+--------------+--------+--------+-----------+
| Role  | User          | Group | Project      | Domain | System | Inherited |
+-------+---------------+-------+--------------+--------+--------+-----------+
| admin | admin@Default |       | demo@Default |        |        | False     |
+-------+---------------+-------+--------------+--------+--------+-----------+
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

3.4. Implied roles
Copy link

The Identity service (keystone) enforces access control confirming that a user is assigned to a specific role. The Identity service uses implied role assignments. If you assign a user to a role explicitly, then the user can also be assigned to additional roles implicitly. You can view the default implied roles in Red Hat OpenStack Platform: 

$ openstack implied role list
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+
| Prior Role ID                    | Prior Role Name | Implied Role ID                  | Implied Role Name |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+
| 54454217f38247e5a2131c8a47138d32 | admin           | b59703369e194123b5c77dad60d11a25 | member            |
| b59703369e194123b5c77dad60d11a25 | member          | 382761de4a9c4414b6f8950f8580897c | reader            |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
Note

The Identity service (keystone) has also added the reader role that will show up in role listings. Do not use the reader role as it has not been integrated into other OpenStack services, and provides inconsistent permissions across services.

The role with higher permissions imply permissions associated with the role with fewer permissions. In the default implied roles above, admin implies member, and member implies reader. With implied roles, role assignments of a user are processed cumulatively, so that the user inherits the subordinate roles.

3.4.1. Creating implied roles
Copy link

If you use custom roles, you can create implied associations.

Note

When you create a new role, it will have the same access policies as the member role by default. For information on creating unique policies for custom roles, see Using policy files for access control.

Procedure

  • Use the following command to specify the role that implies another role: 

    $ openstack implied role create manager --implied-role poweruser
+------------+----------------------------------+
| Field      | Value                            |
+------------+----------------------------------+
| implies    | ab0b966e0e5e411f8d8b0cc6c26fefd1 |
| prior_role | 880761f64bff4e4a8923efda73923b7a |
+------------+----------------------------------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Verification

  • List all implied roles: 

    $ openstack implied role list
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+
| Prior Role ID                    | Prior Role Name | Implied Role ID                  | Implied Role Name |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+
| 54454217f38247e5a2131c8a47138d32 | admin           | b59703369e194123b5c77dad60d11a25 | member            |
| 880761f64bff4e4a8923efda73923b7a | manager         | ab0b966e0e5e411f8d8b0cc6c26fefd1 | poweruser         |
| b59703369e194123b5c77dad60d11a25 | member          | 382761de4a9c4414b6f8950f8580897c | reader            |
+----------------------------------+-----------------+----------------------------------+-------------------+

Chapter 4. Managing groups
Copy link

You can use Identity Service (keystone) groups to assign consistent permissions to multiple user accounts.

4.1. Using the Command-line
Copy link

Create a group and assign permissions to the group. Members of the group inherit the same permissions that you assign to the group:

  1. Create the group grp-Auditors: 

    $ openstack group create grp-Auditors
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| description |                                  |
| domain_id   | default                          |
| id          | 2a4856fc242142a4aa7c02d28edfdfff |
| name        | grp-Auditors                     |
+-------------+----------------------------------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. View a list of keystone groups: 

    $ openstack group list --long
+----------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-------------+
| ID                               | Name         | Domain ID | Description |
+----------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-------------+
| 2a4856fc242142a4aa7c02d28edfdfff | grp-Auditors | default   |             |
+----------------------------------+--------------+-----------+-------------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Grant the grp-Auditors group permission to access the demo project, while using the member role: 

    $ openstack role add member --group grp-Auditors --project demo
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  4. Add the existing user user1 to the grp-Auditors group: 

    $ openstack group add user grp-Auditors user1
user1 added to group grp-Auditors
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  5. Confirm that user1 is a member of grp-Auditors: 

    $ openstack group contains user grp-Auditors user1
user1 in group grp-Auditors
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  6. Review the effective permissions that have been assigned to user1: 

    $ openstack role assignment list --effective --user user1
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------+--------+-----------+
| Role                             | User                             | Group | Project                          | Domain | Inherited |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------+--------+-----------+
| 9fe2ff9ee4384b1894a90878d3e92bab | 3fefe5b4f6c948e6959d1feaef4822f2 |       | 0ce36252e2fb4ea8983bed2a568fa832 |        | False     |
+----------------------------------+----------------------------------+-------+----------------------------------+--------+-----------+
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

4.2. Using the dashboard
Copy link

You can use the dashboard to manage the membership of keystone groups. However, you must use the command-line to assign role permissions to a group. For more information, see Using the Command-line.

4.2.1. Creating a group
Copy link

  1. Log in to the dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Groups.
  3. Click +Create Group.
  4. Enter a name and description for the group.
  5. Click Create Group.

4.2.2. Managing Group membership

You can use the dashboard to manage the membership of keystone groups.

  1. Log in to the dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Groups.
  3. Click Manage Members for the group that you want to edit.
  4. Use Add users to add a user to the group. If you want to remove a user, mark its checkbox and click Remove users.

Chapter 5. Quota management
Copy link

As a cloud administrator, you can set and manage quotas for a project. Each project is allocated resources, and project users are granted access to consume these resources. This enables multiple projects to use a single cloud without interfering with each other’s permissions and resources. A set of resource quotas are preconfigured when a new project is created. The quotas include the amount of VCPUs, instances, RAM, and floating IPs that can be assigned to projects. Quotas can be enforced at both the project and the project-user level. You can set or modify Compute and Block Storage quotas for new and existing projects using the dashboard. For more information, see Chapter 6, Project management.

5.1. Viewing compute quotas for a user
Copy link

Run the following command to list the currently set quota values for a user: 

$ nova quota-show --user [USER] --tenant [TENANT]
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Example

$ nova quota-show --user demoUser --tenant demo
+-----------------------------+-------+
| Quota                       | Limit |

5.3. Setting Object Storage quotas for a user
Copy link

Object Storage quotas can be classified under the following categories:

  • Container quotas - Limits the total size (in bytes) or number of objects that can be stored in a single container.
  • Account quotas - Limits the total size (in bytes) that a user has available in the Object Storage service.

To set either container quotas or the account quotas, the Object Storage proxy server must have the parameters container_quotas or account_quotas (or both) added to the [pipeline:main] section of the proxy-server.conf file: 

[pipeline:main]
pipeline = catch_errors [...] tempauth container-quotas \
account-quotas slo dlo proxy-logging proxy-server

[filter:account_quotas]
use = egg:swift#account_quotas

[filter:container_quotas]
use = egg:swift#container_quotas
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Use the following command to view and update the Object Storage quotas. All users included in a project can view the quotas placed on the project. To update the Object Storage quotas on a project, you must have the role of a ResellerAdmin in the project.

To view account quotas: 

# swift stat

Account: AUTH_b36ed2d326034beba0a9dd1fb19b70f9
Containers: 0
Objects: 0
Bytes: 0
Meta Quota-Bytes: 214748364800

Chapter 6. Project management
Copy link

6.1. Project management
Copy link

As a cloud administrator, you can create and manage projects. A project is a pool of shared virtual resources, to which you can assign OpenStack users and groups. You can configure the quota of shared virtual resources in each project. You can create multiple projects with Red Hat OpenStack Platform that will not interfere with each other’s permissions and resources. Users can be associated with more than one project. Each user must have a role assigned for each project to which they are assigned.

6.1.1. Creating a project
Copy link

Create a project, add members to the project and set resource limits for the project.

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Projects.
  3. Click Create Project.
  4. On the Project Information tab, enter a name and description for the project. The Enabled check box is selected by default.
  5. On the Project Members tab, add members to the project from the All Users list.
  6. On the Quotas tab, specify resource limits for the project.
  7. Click Create Project.

6.1.2. Editing a project
Copy link

You can edit a project to change its name or description, enable or temporarily disable it, or update the members in the project.

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Projects.
  3. In the project Actions column, click the arrow, and click Edit Project.
  4. In the Edit Project window, you can update a project to change its name or description, and enable or temporarily disable the project.
  5. On the Project Members tab, add members to the project, or remove them as needed.
  6. Click Save.
Note

The Enabled check box is selected by default. To temporarily disable the project, clear the Enabled check box. To enable a disabled project, select the Enabled check box.

6.1.3. Deleting a project
Copy link

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Projects.
  3. Select the project that you want to delete.
  4. Click Delete Projects. The Confirm Delete Projects window is displayed.
  5. Click Delete Projects to confirm the action.

The project is deleted and any user pairing is disassociated.

6.1.4. Updating project quotas
Copy link

Quotas are operational limits that you set for each project to optimize cloud resources. You can set quotas to prevent project resources from being exhausted without notification. You can enforce quotas at both the project and the project-user level.

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Projects.
  3. In the project Actions column, click the arrow, and click Modify Quotas.
  4. In the Quota tab, modify project quotas as needed.
  5. Click Save.

6.1.5. Changing the active project
Copy link

Set a project as the active project so that you can use the dashboard to interact with objects in the project. To set a project as the active project, you must be a member of the project. It is also necessary for the user to be a member of more than one project to have the Set as Active Project option be enabled. You cannot set a disabled project as active, unless it is re-enabled.

  1. Log in to the Dashboard as a user with administrative privileges.
  2. Select Identity > Projects.
  3. In the project Actions column, click the arrow, and click Set as Active Project.
  4. Alternatively, as a non-admin user, in the project Actions column, click Set as Active Project which becomes the default action in the column.

6.2. Project hierarchies
Copy link

You can nest projects using multitenancy in the Identity service (keystone). Multitenancy allows subprojects to inherit role assignments from a parent project.

6.2.1.1. Creating the project and subprojects
Copy link

You can implement Hierarchical Multitenancy (HMT) using keystone domains and projects. First create a new domain and then create a project within that domain. You can then add subprojects to that project. You can also promote a user to administrator of a subproject by adding the user to the admin role for that subproject.

Note

The HMT structure used by keystone is not currently represented in the dashboard.

1. Create a new keystone domain called corp: 

$ openstack domain create corp
+-------------+----------------------------------+
| Field       | Value                            |

6.2.1.2. Granting access to users
Copy link

By default, a newly-created project has no assigned roles. When you assign role permissions to the parent project, you can include the --inherited flag to instruct the subprojects to inherit the assigned permissions from the parent project. For example, a user with admin role access to the parent project also has admin access to the subprojects.

1. View the existing permissions assigned to a project:

6.2.3. Nested quotas
Copy link

At present, nested quotas are not yet supported. As such, you must manage quotas individually against projects and subprojects.

6.2.4. Reseller overview
Copy link

With the Reseller project, the goal is to have a hierarchy of domains; these domains will eventually allow you to consider reselling portions of the cloud, with a subdomain representing a fully-enabled cloud. This work has been split into phases, with phase 1 described below:

6.2.4.1. Phase 1 of reseller
Copy link

Reseller (phase 1) is an extension of Hierarchical Multitenancy (HMT), described here: Section 6.2.1, “Hierarchical Multitenancy (HMT) in the Identity Service”. Previously, keystone domains were originally intended to be containers that stored users and projects, with their own table in the database back-end. As a result, domains are now no longer stored in their own table, and have been merged into the project table:

  • A domain is now a type of project, distinguished by the is_domain flag.
  • A domain represents a top-level project in the project hierarchy: domains are roots in the project hierarchy

  • APIs have been updated to create and retrieve domains using the projects subpath:

    • Create a new domain by creating a project with the is_domain flag set to true
    • List projects that are domains: get projects including the is_domain query parameter.

6.3. Project security management
Copy link

Security groups are sets of IP filter rules that can be assigned to project instances, and which define networking access to the instance. Security groups are project specific; project members can edit the default rules for their security group and add new rule sets.

All projects have a default security group that is applied to any instance that has no other defined security group. Unless you change the default values, this security group denies all incoming traffic and allows only outgoing traffic from your instance.

You can apply a security group directly to an instance during instance creation, or to a port on the running instance.

Note

You cannot apply a role-based access control (RBAC)-shared security group directly to an instance during instance creation. To apply an RBAC-shared security group to an instance you must first create the port, apply the shared security group to that port, and then assign that port to the instance. See Adding a security group to a port.

Do not delete the default security group without creating groups that allow required egress. For instance, if your instances use DHCP and metadata, your instance requires security group rules that allow egress to the DHCP server and metadata agent.

6.3.1. Creating a security group
Copy link

  1. In the dashboard, select Project > Compute > Access & Security.
  2. On the Security Groups tab, click Create Security Group.
  3. Enter a name and description for the group, and click Create Security Group.

6.3.2. Adding a security group rule
Copy link

By default, rules for a new group only provide outgoing access. You must add new rules to provide additional access.

  1. In the dashboard, select Project > Compute > Access & Security.
  2. On the Security Groups tab, click Manage Rules for the security group that you want to edit.
  3. Click Add Rule to add a new rule.

  4. Specify the rule values, and click Add.

    The following rule fields are required:

    Rule

    Rule type. If you specify a rule template (for example, SSH), its fields are automatically filled in:

    • TCP: Typically used to exchange data between systems, and for end-user communication.
    • UDP: Typically used to exchange data between systems, particularly at the application level.
    • ICMP: Typically used by network devices, such as routers, to send error or monitoring messages.
    Direction
    Ingress (inbound) or Egress (outbound).
    Open Port

    For TCP or UDP rules, the Port or Port Range (single port or range of ports) to open:

    • For a range of ports, enter port values in the From Port and To Port fields.
    • For a single port, enter the port value in the Port field.
    Type
    The type for ICMP rules; must be in the range -1:255.
    Code
    The code for ICMP rules; must be in the range -1:255.
    Remote

    The traffic source for this rule:

    • CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing): IP address block, which limits access to IPs within the block. Enter the CIDR in the Source field.
    • Security Group: Source group that enables any instance in the group to access any other group instance.

6.3.3. Deleting a security group rule
Copy link

  1. In the dashboard, select Project > Compute > Access & Security.
  2. On the Security Groups tab, click Manage Rules for the security group.
  3. Select the security group rule, and click Delete Rule.
  4. Click Delete Rule again.
Note

You cannot undo the delete action.

6.3.4. Deleting a security group
Copy link

  1. In the dashboard, select Project > Compute > Access & Security.
  2. On the Security Groups tab, select the group, and click Delete Security Groups.
  3. Click Delete Security Groups.
Note

You cannot undo the delete action.

Chapter 7. Managing domains
Copy link

Identity Service (keystone) domains are additional namespaces that you can create in keystone. Use keystone domains to partition users, groups, and projects. You can also configure these separate domains to authenticate users in different LDAP or Active Directory environments. For more information, see the Integrate with Identity Service guide.

Note

Identity Service includes a built-in domain called Default. It is suggested you reserve this domain only for service accounts, and create a separate domain for user accounts.

Chapter 8. Identity management
Copy link

8.1. Secure LDAP communication
Copy link

If you have configured the Identity service (keystone) to authenticate against or to retrieve identity information from an LDAP server, you can secure LDAP communication for the Identity service by using a CA certificate.

You must obtain the CA certificate from Active Directory, convert the CA certificate file into Privacy Enhanced Mail (PEM) file format, and configure secure LDAP communication for the Identity service. You can perform this configuration with one of three methods, depending on where and how the CA trust is configured.

Use the following example code to query Active Directory to obtain the CA certificate. The CA_NAME is the name of the certificate and the rest of the parameters can be changed according to your configuration: 

CA_NAME="WIN2012DOM-WIN2012-CA"
AD_SUFFIX="dc=win2012dom,dc=com" LDAPURL="ldap://win2012.win2012dom.com"
ADMIN_DN="cn=Administrator,cn=Users,$AD_SUFFIX"
ADMINPASSWORD="MyPassword"

CA_CERT_DN="cn=latexmath:[$CA_NAME,cn=certification authorities,cn=public key services,cn=services,cn=configuration,$]AD_SUFFIX"

TMP_CACERT=/tmp/cacert.`date +'%Y%m%d%H%M%S'`.$$.pem

ldapsearch -xLLL -H
latexmath:[$LDAPURL -D `echo \"$]ADMIN_DN"`-W -s base -b`echo
"$CA_CERT_DN"` objectclass=* cACertificate
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

Create a file called /path/cacert.pem and include the contents of the LDAP query — that obtained the CA certificate from Active Directory, within the header and footer: 

-----BEGIN CERTIFICATE-----
MIIDbzCCAlegAwIBAgIQQD14hh1Yz7tPFLXCkKUOszANB... -----END
CERTIFICATE-----
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

For troubleshooting, you can execute the following query to check if LDAP is working, and to ensure that the PEM certificate file was created correctly. 

LDAPTLS_CACERT=/path/cacert.pem ldapsearch -xLLL -ZZ -H $LDAPURL -s base -b "" "objectclass=*" currenttime
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

The query should return a result similar to: 

dn: currentTime:
20141022050611.0Z
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

You can run the following command to get a CA certificate if it was hosted by a web server.

Example

  • $HOST=redhat.com
  • $PORT=443 
# echo Q | openssl s_client -connect $HOST:$PORT | sed -n -e '/BEGIN CERTIFICATE/,/END CERTIFICATE/ p'
Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
8.1.3.1. Method 1
Copy link

Use this method if the CA trust is configured at the LDAP level using a PEM file. Manually specify the location of a CA certificate file. The following procedure secures LDAP communication not only for the Identity service, but for all applications that use the OpenLDAP libraries.

  1. Copy the file containing your CA certificate chain in PEM format to the /etc/openldap/certs directory.

  2. Edit /etc/openldap/ldap.conf and add the following directive, replacing [CA_FILE] with the location and name of the CA certificate file: 

    TLS_CACERT /etc/openldap/certs/[CA_FILE]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Restart the horizon container: 

    # systemctl restart tripleo_horizon
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
8.1.3.2. Method 2
Copy link

Use this method if the CA trust is configured at the LDAP library level using a Network Security Services (NSS) database. Use the certutil command to import and trust a CA certificate into the NSS certificate database used by the OpenLDAP libraries. The following procedure secures LDAP communication not only for the Identity service, but for all applications that use the OpenLDAP libraries.

  1. Import and trust the certificate, replacing [CA_FILE] with the location and name of the CA certificate file: 

    # certutil -d /etc/openldap/certs -A -n "My CA" -t CT,, -a -i [CA_FILE]
# certutil -d /etc/openldap/certs -A -n "My CA" -t CT,, -a -i [CA_FILE]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Confirm the CA certificate was imported correctly: 

    # certutil -d /etc/openldap/certs -L
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

    Your CA certificate is listed, and the trust attributes are set to CT,,.

  3. Restart the horizon container: 

    # systemctl restart tripleo_horizon
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
8.1.3.3. Method 3
Copy link

Use this method if the CA trust is configured at the Keystone level using a PEM file. The final method of securing communication between the Identity service and an LDAP server is to configure TLS for the Identity service.

However, unlike the two methods above, this method secures LDAP communication only for the Identity service and does not secure LDAP communication for other applications that use the OpenLDAP libraries.

The following procedure uses the openstack-config command to edit values in the /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf file.

  1. Enable TLS: 

    # openstack-config --set /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf ldap use_tls True
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Specify the location of the certificate, replacing [CA_FILE] with the name of the CA certificate: 

    # openstack-config --set /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf ldap tls_cacertfile [CA_FILE]
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  3. Specify the client certificate checks performed on incoming TLS sessions from the LDAP server, replacing [CERT_BEHAVIOR] with one of the behaviors listed below:

    demand
    a certificate will always be requested from the LDAP server. The session will be terminated if no certificate is provided, or if the certificate provided cannot be verified against the existing certificate authorities file.
    allow
    a certificate will always be requested from the LDAP server. The session will proceed as normal even if a certificate is not provided. If a certificate is provided but it cannot be verified against the existing certificate authorities file, the certificate will be ignored and the session will proceed as normal.
    never
    a certificate will never be requested. 
    # openstack-config --set /var/lib/config-data/puppet-generated/keystone/etc/keystone/keystone.conf ldap tls_req_cert [CERT_BEHAVIOR]

    # systemctl restart tripleo_keystone
# systemctl restart tripleo_horizon

Chapter 9. Application credentials
Copy link

Use Application Credentials to avoid the practice of embedding user account credentials in configuration files. Instead, the user creates an Application Credential that receives delegated access to a single project and has its own distinct secret. The user can also limit the delegated privileges to a single role in that project. This allows you to adopt the principle of least privilege, where the authenticated service gains access only to the one project and role that it needs to function, rather than all projects and roles.

You can use this methodology to consume an API without revealing your user credentials, and applications can authenticate to Keystone without requiring embedded user credentials.

You can use Application Credentials to generate tokens and configure keystone_authtoken settings for applications. These use cases are described in the following sections.

Note

The Application Credential is dependent on the user account that created it, so it will terminate if that account is ever deleted, or loses access to the relevant role.

Application Credentials are available to users as a self-service function in the dashboard. This example demonstrates how a user can create an Application Credential and then use it to generate a token.

  1. Create a test project, and test user accounts:

    1. Create a project called AppCreds:

      $ openstack role add --user AppCredsUser --project AppCreds member
      Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap

  2. Log in to the dashboard as AppCredsUser and create an Application Credential:

    Overview → Identity → Application Credentials → +Create Application Credential.

    Note

    Ensure that you download the clouds.yaml file contents, because you cannot access it again after you close the pop-up window titled Your Application Credential.

  3. Create a file named /home/stack/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml using the CLI and paste the contents of the clouds.yaml file. 

    # This is a clouds.yaml file, which can be used by OpenStack tools as a source
# of configuration on how to connect to a cloud. If this is your only cloud,
# just put this file in ~/.config/openstack/clouds.yaml and tools like
# python-openstackclient will just work with no further config. (You will need
# to add your password to the auth section)
# If you have more than one cloud account, add the cloud entry to the clouds
# section of your existing file and you can refer to them by name with
# OS_CLOUD=openstack or --os-cloud=openstack
clouds:
  openstack:
    auth:
      auth_url: http://10.0.0.10:5000/v3
      application_credential_id: "6d141f23732b498e99db8186136c611b"
      application_credential_secret: "<example secret value>"
    region_name: "regionOne"
    interface: "public"
    identity_api_version: 3
    auth_type: "v3applicationcredential"
    Copy to Clipboard Toggle word wrap
    Note

    These values will be different for your deployment.

  4. Use the Application Credential to generate a token. You must not be sourced as any specific user when using the following command, and you must be in the same directory as your clouds.yaml file. 

    [stack@undercloud-0 openstack]$ openstack --os-cloud=openstack token issue

Note

If you receive an error similar to __init__() got an unexpected keyword argument 'application_credential_secret', then you might still be sourced to the previous credentials. For a fresh environment, run sudo su - stack.

Application Credentials can be used to authenticate applications to keystone. When you use Application Credentials, the keystone_authtoken settings use v3applicationcredential as the authentication type and contain the credentials that you receive during the credential creation process. Enter the following values:

  • application_credential_secret: The Application Credential secret.
  • application_credential_id: The Application Credential id.
  • (Optional) application_credential_name: You might use this parameter if you use a named application credential, rather than an ID.

For example: 

[keystone_authtoken]
auth_url = http://10.0.0.10:5000/v3
auth_type = v3applicationcredential
application_credential_id = "6cb5fa6a13184e6fab65ba2108adf50c"
application_credential_secret = "<example password>"

You can use the command line to create and delete Application Credentials.

The create subcommand creates an application credential based on the currently sourced account. For example, creating the credential when sourced as an admin user will grant the same roles to the Application Credential: 

$ openstack application credential create --description "App Creds - All roles" AppCredsUser

Warning

Using the --unrestricted parameter enables the application credential to create and delete other application credentials and trusts. This is potentially dangerous behavior and is disabled by default. You cannot use the --unrestricted parameter in combination with other access rules.

By default, the resulting role membership includes all the roles assigned to the account that created the credentials. You can limit the role membership by delegating access only to a specific role: 

$ openstack application credential create --description "App Creds - Member" --role member AppCredsUser

9.4.1. Replace an existing Application Credential
Copy link

Application Credentials are bound to the user account that created them and become invalid if the user account is ever deleted, or if the user loses access to the delegated role. As a result, you should be prepared to generate a new Application Credential as needed.

9.4.2. For configuration files
Copy link

Update the Application Credentials assigned to an application (using a configuration file):

  1. Create a new set of Application Credentials.
  2. Add the new credentials to the application configuration file, replacing the existing credentials. For more information, see Section 9.2, “Integrate Application Credentials with applications”.
  3. Restart the application service to apply the change.
  4. Delete the old Application Credential, if appropriate. For more information about the command line options, see Section 9.3, “Use the command line to manage Application Credentials”.

9.4.3. For clouds.yaml files
Copy link

Replace an existing Application Credential used by clouds.yaml:

For example, if your clouds.yaml contains an Application Credential called AppCred1 that is due to expire:

  1. Create an Application Credential called AppCred2.
  2. Add the new AppCred2 to the clouds.yaml file, while removing the AppCred1 configuration.
  3. Generate a token with clouds.yaml to confirm that the credentials are working as expected. See step 4 of Section 9.1, “Using Application Credentials to generate tokens” for more information.
