Overview
This charm provides Keystone, the OpenStack identity service. Its target platform is (ideally) Ubuntu LTS + OpenStack.
Usage
The following interfaces are provided:
-
nrpe-external-master: Used to generate Nagios checks.
-
identity-service: OpenStack API endpoints request an entry in the Keystone service catalog + endpoint template catalog. When a relation is established, Keystone receives:
service_name
,region
,public_url
,admin_url
andinternal_url
. It first checks that the requested service is listed as a supported service. This list should stay updated to support current OpenStack core services. If the service is supported, an entry in the service catalog is created, an endpoint template is created and an admin token is generated. The other end of the relation receives the token as well as info on which ports Keystone is listening on. -
keystone-service: This is currently only used by Horizon/dashboard as its interaction with Keystone is different from other OpenStack API services. That is, Horizon requests a Keystone role and token exists. During a relation, Horizon requests its configured default role and Keystone responds with a token and the auth + admin ports on which Keystone is listening.
-
identity-admin: Charms use this relation to obtain the credentials for the admin user. This is intended for charms that automatically provision users, tenants, etc. or that otherwise automate using the OpenStack cluster deployment.
-
identity-notifications: Used to broadcast messages to any services listening on the interface.
-
identity-credentials: Charms use this relation to obtain Keystone credentials without creating a service catalog entry. Set 'username' only on the relation and Keystone will set defaults and return authentication details. Possible relation settings:
username
Username to be created.project
Project (tenant) name to be created. Defaults to services project.requested_roles
Comma delimited list of roles to be created.requested_grants
Comma delimited list of roles to be granted. Defaults to Admin role.domain
Keystone v3 domain the user will be created in. Defaults to the Default domain.
Database
Keystone requires a database. The charm supports relation to a shared database
server through the mysql-shared
interface. When a new data store is
configured, the charm ensures the minimum administrator credentials exist (as
configured in charm configuration)
High availability
When more than one unit is deployed with the hacluster application the charm will bring up an HA active/active cluster.
There are two mutually exclusive high availability options: using virtual IP(s) or DNS. In both cases the hacluster subordinate charm is used to provide the Corosync and Pacemaker backend HA functionality.
See OpenStack high availability in the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide for details.
TLS/HTTPS
Support for TLS and HTTPS endpoints can be enabled through configuration options.
To enable TLS and HTTPS endpoints with a certificate signed by your own Certificate Authority, set the following configuration options:
-
ssl_ca
-
ssl_cert
-
ssl_key
Example bundle usage:
keystone:
charm: cs:keystone
num_units: 1
options:
ssl_ca: include-base64://path-to-PEM-formatted-ca-data
ssl_cert: include-base64://path-to-PEM-formatted-certificate-data
ssl_key: include-base64://path-to-PEM-formatted-key-data
Note: If your certificate is signed by a Certificate Authority present in the CA Certificate Store in operating systems used in your deployment, you do not need to provide the
ssl_ca
configuration option.Note: The
include-base64
bundle keyword tells Juju to source a file and Base64 encode it before storing it as a configuration option value. The path can be absolute or relative to the location of the bundle file.
Spaces
This charm supports the use of Juju Network Spaces, allowing the charm to be bound to network space configurations managed directly by Juju. This is only supported with Juju 2.0 and above.
API endpoints can be bound to distinct network spaces supporting the network separation of public, internal and admin endpoints.
Access to the underlying MySQL instance can also be bound to a specific space using the shared-db relation.
To use this feature, use the --bind option when deploying the charm:
juju deploy keystone --bind \
"public=public-space \
internal=internal-space \
admin=admin-space \
shared-db=internal-space"
Alternatively, these can also be provided as part of a Juju native bundle configuration:
keystone:
charm: cs:xenial/keystone
num_units: 1
bindings:
public: public-space
admin: admin-space
internal: internal-space
shared-db: internal-space
NOTE: Spaces must be configured in the underlying provider prior to attempting to use them.
NOTE: Existing deployments using os\-\*-network
configuration options will
continue to function; these options are preferred over any network space
binding provided if set.
Policy Overrides
Policy overrides is an advanced feature that allows an operator to override the default policy of an OpenStack service. The policies that the service supports, the defaults it implements in its code, and the defaults that a charm may include should all be clearly understood before proceeding.
Caution: It is possible to break the system (for tenants and other services) if policies are incorrectly applied to the service.
Policy statements are placed in a YAML file. This file (or files) is then (ZIP) compressed into a single file and used as an application resource. The override is then enabled via a Boolean charm option.
Here are the essential commands (filenames are arbitrary):
zip overrides.zip override-file.yaml
juju attach-resource keystone policyd-override=overrides.zip
juju config keystone use-policyd-override=true
See appendix Policy Overrides in the OpenStack Charms Deployment Guide for a thorough treatment of this feature.
Security Compliance config option "password-security-compliance"
The password-security-compliance
configuration option sets the
[security_compliance]
section of Keystone's configuration file.
The configuration option is a YAML dictionary, that is one level deep, with the following keys (and value formats).
lockout_failure_attempts: <int>
lockout_duration: <int>
disable_user_account_days_inactive: <int>
change_password_upon_first_use: <boolean>
password_expires_days: <int>
password_regex: <string>
password_regex_description: <string>
unique_last_password_count: <int>
minimum_password_age: <int>
It can be set by placing the keys and values in a file and then using the Juju command:
juju config keystone --file path/to/config.yaml
Note that, in this, case the config.yaml
file requires the YAML key
password-security-compliance:
with the desired config keys and values on the
following lines, indented for a dictionary.
Note: Please ensure that the page Security compliance and PCI-DSS is consulted before setting these option.
The charm will protect service accounts (accounts requested by other units that are in the service domain) against being forced to change their password. Operators should also ensure that any other accounts are protected as per the above referenced note.
If the config value cannot be parsed as YAML and/or the options are not able to be parsed as their indicated types then the charm will enter a blocked state until the config value is changed.
Token Support
As the keystone charm supports multiple releases of the OpenStack software, it also supports two Keystone token systems: UUID and Fernet. The capabilities are:
- pre 'ocata': UUID tokens only.
- ocata and pike: UUID or Fernet tokens, configured via the 'token-provider' configuration parameter.
- rocky and later: Fernet tokens only.
Fernet tokens were added to OpenStack to solve the problem of Keystone being required to persist tokens to a common database (cluster) like UUID tokens, and solve the problem of size for PKI or PKIZ tokens.
For further information, please see Fernet - Frequently Asked Questions.
Theory of Operation
Fernet keys are used to generate tokens; they are generated by Keystone and have an expiration date. The key repository is a directory, and each key is an integer number, with the highest number being the primary key. Key '0' is the staged key, that will be the next primary. Other keys are secondary keys.
New tokens are only ever generated from the primary key, whilst the secondary keys are used to validate existing tokens. The staging key is not used to generate tokens but can be used to validate tokens as the staging key might be the new primary key on the master due to a rotation and the keys have not yet been synchronised across all the units.
Fernet keys need to be rotated at periodic intervals, and the keys need to be synchronised to each of the other keystone units. Keys should only be rotated on the master keystone unit and must be synchronised before they are rotated again. Over rotation occurs if a unit rotates its keys such that there is no suitable decoding key on another unit that can decode a token that has been generated on the master. This happens if two key rotations are done on the master before a synchronisation has been successfully performed. This should be avoided. Over rotations can also cause validation keys to be removed before a token's expiration which would result in failed validations.
There are 3 parts to the Key Rotation Strategy:
- The rotation frequency
- The token lifespan
- The number of active keys
There needs to be at least 3 keys as a minimum. The actual number of keys is determined by the token lifespan and the rotation frequency. The max_active_keys must be one greater than the token lifespan / rotation frequency
To quote from the FAQ:
The number of max_active_keys for a deployment can be determined by
dividing the token lifetime, in hours, by the frequency of rotation in
hours and adding two. Better illustrated as:
Configuring Key Lifetime
In the keystone charm, the rotation frequency is calculated
automatically from the token-expiration
and the fernet-max-active-keys
configuration parameters. For example, with an expiration of 24 hours and
6 active keys, the rotation frequency is calculated as:
token_expiration = 24 # actually 3600, as it's in seconds
max_active_keys = 6
rotation_frequency = token_expiration / (max_active_keys - 2)
Thus, the fernet-max-active-keys
can never be less than 3 (which is
enforced in the charm), which would make the rotation frequency the same
as the token expiration time.
NOTE: To increase the rotation frequency, either increase
fernet-max-active-keys
or reduce token-expiration
, and, to decrease
rotation frequency, do the opposite.
NOTE: If the configuration parameters are used to significantly reduce the
key lifetime, then it is possible to over-rotate the verification keys
such that services will hold tokens that cannot be verified but haven't
yet expired. This should be avoided by only making small changes and
verifying that current tokens will still be able to be verified. In
particular, fernet-max-active-keys
affects the rotation time.
Upgrades
When an older keystone charm is upgraded to this version, NO change will
occur to the token system. That is, an ocata system will continue to use
UUID tokens. In order to change the token system to Fernet, change the
token-provider
configuration item to fernet
. This will switch the
token system over. There may be a small outage in the control plane,
but the running instances will be unaffected.
Bugs
Please report bugs on Launchpad.
For general charm questions refer to the OpenStack Charm Guide.
Configuration
- action-managed-upgrade
- (boolean) If True enables openstack upgrades for this charm via juju actions. You will still need to set openstack-origin to the new repository but instead of an upgrade running automatically across all units, it will wait for you to execute the openstack-upgrade action for this charm on each unit. If False it will revert to existing behavior of upgrading all units on config change.
