+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1466129 +++

Description of problem:
Currently, there's no way to ascertain the identity/validity of a webhook requests sent by gluster-eventsd. If a Header was added that contains an HMAC token generated using content and secret key, this would ensure that server can validate the request is genuine before processing the event.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
3.3

How reproducible:
Always

This bug is automatically being proposed for the current release of Red Hat Gluster Storage 3 under active development, by setting the release flag 'rhgs‑3.3.0' to '?'. 

If this bug should be proposed for a different release, please manually change the proposed release flag.

This BZ having been considered, and subsequently not approved to be fixed at the RHGS 3.3.0 release, is being proposed for the next minor release of RHGS

As discussed over IRC, Events API will implement JWT(JSON Web Tokens). Additional argument will be added to webhook-add command to accept the secret which is required to generate JWT.

    gluster-eventsapi webhook-add <url> [--token <TOKEN>] \
        [--secret <SECRET>]

For shared secret approach use, `--secret` and for shared token approach use `--token`. With `--token` argument, Token header will be added as is.

    Authorization: Bearer <TOKEN>

In case of shared secret, Gluster will generate JWT token using the secret and then add it to Authorization header.

    Authorization: Bearer <GENERATED_TOKEN>

Secret/Token can be updated using `webhook-mod` command.

Generated token will include the following payload,

    {
        "iss": "gluster",
        "exp": EXPIRY_TIME,
        "sub": EVENT_TYPE,
        "iat": EVENT_TIME
    }

Where: iss - Issuer,  exp - Expiry Time, sub - Event Type used as Subject, iat - Event Time used as Issue Time

Validated this on the build glusterfs-3.12.2-7.el7rhgs.x86_64.

On a 3 node cluster with a webhook-added with default fields, we are able to see the events.. But the same webhook when added using the "--secret" field, no events are seen at the receiver. /var/log/glusterfs/events.log does show the event successfully being pushed, though. There's no indication of any error in the events logs. 

/var/log/messages shows the below traceback in glustereventsd.

Moving this bug to assigned for the reason stated above. Sosreports of the server node, and the webhook logs will be copied at http://rhsqe-repo.lab.eng.blr.redhat.com/sosreports/swetas/<bugnumber>

Root caused the issue, issue is due to secret stored as Unicode string. I will work on it and send patch by tomorrow.
