Description Anping Li 2018-02-24 05:48:19 UTC
Description of problem:
The cluster-admin couldn't get _cat endpoints.

curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/indices?v"
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/aliases?v"
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/nodes?v"


The _cluster/health can be retrieved
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cluster/health?pretty"

How reproducible:
always

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
atomic-openshift-3.9.0-0.51.0.
logging-elasticsearch/images/v3.9.0-0.51.0.0"


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Deploy logging with openshift_logging_es_allow_external=True
2. Grant use1 cluster-admin roles
oc adm policy add-cluster-role-to-user cluster-admin  user1
3. Get the token and route
oc login -u user1
token=$(oc whoami -t)
URL=$(oc get route logging-es -o custom-columns=ROUTER:.spec.host  |grep -v 'ROUTER')

4. Access _cat endpoints using token
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/indices?v"
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/aliases?v"
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cat/nodes?v"
5. Access _cluster endpoints
curl -vk -X GET -H "Authorization: Bearer $token"  "https://${URL}/_cluster/health?pretty"

Comment 1 Jeff Cantrill 2018-02-24 16:01:53 UTC
You may use 'oc exec -c elasticsearch $POD -- es_util --query=_cat/indices' which allows you to use the admin certs.  If you have cluster permissions then you have access to the pod which allows you access to these endpoints.

You may also need to simply update the rolesmapping document by rsh to the pod, update the document with the appropriate actions and then running 'es_seed_acl'.

@Eric,  thoughts on if this is something we missed and should allow and or change?

Lowering the priority as this is not a blocker

Comment 2 Rich Megginson 2018-02-26 20:48:19 UTC
Is this a regression?  If not, it is an RFE.
