NeoFS AuthMate

Authmate is a tool to create gateway AWS credentials. AWS users are authenticated with access key IDs and secrets, while NeoFS users are authenticated with key pairs. To complicate things further we have S3 gateway that usually acts on behalf of some user, but user doesn't necessarily want to give his keys to the gateway.

To solve this we use NeoFS bearer tokens that are signed by the owner (NeoFS "user") and that can implement any kind of policy for NeoFS requests allowed using this token. But tokens can't be used directly as AWS credentials, thus they're stored on NeoFS as regular objects and access key ID is just an address of this object while secret is generated randomly.

Tokens are not stored on NeoFS in plaintext, they're encrypted with a set of gateway keys. So in order for gateway to be able to successfully extract bearer token the object needs to be stored in a container available for the gateway to read and it needs to be encrypted with this gateway's key (among others potentially).

Variables

Authmate support the following variables to decrypt wallets provided by --wallet and --gate-wallet parameters respectevely:

  • AUTHMATE_WALLET_PASSPHRASE
  • AUTHMATE_WALLET_GATE_PASSPHRASE

If the passphrase is not specified, you will be asked to enter the password interactively:

Enter password for wallet.json > 

Generation of wallet

To generate wallets for gateways, run the following command:

$ ./neo-go wallet init -a -w wallet.json

Enter the name of the account > AccountTestName
Enter passphrase > 
Confirm passphrase >

To get public key from wallet run:

$ ./bin/neo-go wallet dump-keys -w wallet.json

Issuance of a secret

To issue a secret means to create a Bearer and (optionally) Session tokens and put them as an object into a container on the NeoFS network.

By default, the tool creates the container with a name auth-container and ACL 0x3c8c8cce (all operations are forbidden for OTHERS and BEARER user groups, except for GET).

Also, you can put the tokens into existing container via --container-id parameter, but this way is not recommended.

The tokens are encrypted by a set of gateway keys, so you need to pass them as well.

Creation of the bearer token is mandatory, and creation of the session token is optional. If you want to add the session token you need to add a parameter create-session-token.

Rules for bearer token can be set via param bearer-rules (json-string and file path allowed), if it is not set, it will be auto-generated with values:

{
    "version": {
        "major": 2,
        "minor": 6
    },
    "containerID": {
        "value": "%CID"
    },
    "records": [
        {
            "operation": "GET",
            "action": "ALLOW",
            "filters": [],
            "targets": [
                {
                    "role": "OTHERS",
                    "keys": []
                }
            ]
        }
    ]
}

Rules for session token can be set via param session-rules (json-string and file path allowed), default value is:

{
    "verb": "PUT",
    "wildcard": true,
    "containerID": null
}

If session-rules is set, but create-session-token is not, the session token will not be created.

Rules for mapping of LocationConstraint (aws spec) to PlacementPolicy (neofs spec) can be set via param container-policy (json-string and file path allowed):

{
  "rep-3": "REP 3",
  "complex": "REP 1 IN X CBF 1 SELECT 1 FROM * AS X",
  "example-json-policy": "{\"replicas\":[{\"count\":3,\"selector\":\"SelASD0\"}],\"container_backup_factor\":3,\"selectors\":[{\"name\":\"SelASD0\",\"count\":3,\"filter\":\"*\"}],\"filters\":[]}"
}

Example of a command to issue a secret with custom rules for multiple gates:

$ ./neofs-authmate issue-secret --wallet wallet.json \
--peer 192.168.130.71:8080 \
--bearer-rules '{"records":[{"operation":"PUT","action":"ALLOW","filters":[],"targets":[{"role":"OTHERS","keys":[]}]}]}' \
--gate-public-key 0313b1ac3a8076e155a7e797b24f0b650cccad5941ea59d7cfd51a024a8b2a06bf \
--gate-public-key 0317585fa8274f7afdf1fc5f2a2e7bece549d5175c4e5182e37924f30229aef967 \
--create-session-token \
--session-rules '{"verb":"DELETE","wildcard":false,"containerID":{"value":"%CID"}}'
--container-policy '{"rep-3": "REP 3"}'

Access key ID and secret access key are AWS credentials that you can use with any S3 client.

Access key ID consists of Base58 encoded containerID(cid) and objectID(oid) stored on the NeoFS network and containing the secret. Format of access_key_id: %cid0%oid, where 0(zero) is a delimiter.

Obtainment of a secret access key

You can get a secret access key associated with access key ID by obtaining a secret stored on the NeoFS network. Here example of providing one password (for wallet.json) via env variable and other (for gate-wallet.json) interactively:

 $ AUTHMATE_WALLET_PASSPHRASE=some-pwd \
  ./neofs-authmate obtain-secret --wallet wallet.json \
 --peer 192.168.130.71:8080 \
 --gate-wallet gate-wallet.json \
 --access-key-id 5g933dyLEkXbbAspouhPPTiyLZRg4axBW1axSPD87eVT0AiXsH4AjYy1iTJ4C1WExzjBrSobJsQFWEyKLREe5sQYM
