Fixed In Version: cns-deploy-4.0.0-7.el7rhgs
Doc Type: Enhancement
Doc Text:
Previously, there was no option to set the heketi admin user secret when deploying Container Native Storage. With this release, administrators now have an option to create a secret that will be used for authentication for accessing Heketi. CNS-deploy now allows to set the secret for the heketi "admin" user for volmanager (heketi container) which is created in the deployment process.

Description Humble Chirammal 2017-03-09 17:45:47 UTC
Description of problem:

If an admin want to configure heketi's password, the CNS solution should respect that configuration and should spawn heketi pod with that password.

Comment 2 Mohamed Ashiq 2017-03-10 06:39:06 UTC
I am not sure If it is not documented. This option is already provided.

Heketi allows two passwords or secrets to be set:

1) For general user, password has to be set here.

HEKETI_USER_KEY

# oc process heketi -v HEKETI_USER_KEY "password" | oc create -f

when accessing from heketi-cli, do 

# heketi-cli --user user --secret password --server http://localhost:8080 topology info

2) For admin user, password has to be set here.

HEKETI_ADMIN_KEY

# oc process heketi -v HEKETI_ADMIN_KEY "password" | oc create -f

when accessing from heketi-cli, do 

# heketi-cli --user admin --secret password --server http://localhost:8080 topology info

######################
In heketi perspective:

admin: Has access to all APIs
user: Has access to only Volume APIs

######################

We do not have a configuration support in cns-deploy. We can do that.

Is this what is expected? Or am I missing something?

Comment 3 Mohamed Ashiq 2017-03-10 06:40:41 UTC
These are placed as environmental variable in the rhgs-volmanager container space and then consumed by heketi.

Refer: https://github.com/heketi/heketi/blob/master/main.go#L69

Ashiq, exactly, this support is not available in cns-deploy so admin dont have a way to specify this in any way as our deployment is handled via cns-deploy.

Comment 5 Mohamed Ashiq 2017-03-22 11:17:34 UTC
Patch Upstream for the same:

https://github.com/gluster/gluster-kubernetes/pull/205

Comment 9 Mohamed Ashiq 2017-03-24 11:16:11 UTC
Heketi supports two types of users:
1) Admin - can access all API's
2) User - can access only volume API's

admin key is a secret, set for the admin access of heketi service. similar is the user key.


With this fix cns-deploy will allow you to configure the secrets for both admin and user of heketi service.

Syntax:
# cns-deploy --admin-key <Key> --user-key <Key> topology.file

Example:
# cns-deploy --admin-key MySecret --user-key MyOwnSecret topology.json

After deployment:
##################################################################
For ADMIN KEY verification

# heketi-cli --server <RESTurl> --user admin --secret MySecret topology info

Without user and secret authentication will fail. 

You can also set the username and key in environmental variable just like RESTurl

//Server
export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=http://path

//User 
export HEKETI_CLI_USER=admin

//secret
export HEKETI_CLI_KEY=MySecret

# heketi-cli topology info

This will internally use the environmental variables.

##################################################################

For USER KEY verification

# heketi-cli --server <RESTurl> --user user --secret MyOwnSecret volume list

Without user and secret authentication will fail. This user can access only volume API so only volume commands.

You can also set the username and key in environmental variable just like RESTurl

//Server
export HEKETI_CLI_SERVER=http://path

//User 
export HEKETI_CLI_USER=user

//secret
export HEKETI_CLI_KEY=MyOwnSecret

# heketi-cli volume list

This will internally use the environmental variables.

##################################################################

Let me know If you need anything. We will add this in our next build.
