oVirt gerrit 114547 0 master MERGED restapi - Search hosts as non-admin user 2021-04-29 09:16:40 UTC

Description Marian Jankular 2021-04-20 13:53:42 UTC
Description of problem:
RHV api issues when user has only "UserRole" permissions

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
4.3.x
4.4.x as well

How reproducible:
everytime

Steps to Reproduce:
1. create user with "UserRole" permission only
2. try to get host info with query below issued on the manager:
# curl --cacert /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem -u <USER>:<PASSWORD> https://<manager_fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%2050

or even 

# curl --cacert /etc/pki/ovirt-engine/ca.pem -u <USER>:<PASSWORD> https://<manager_fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%20100
3.

Actual results:
even there is only one host im my environment the same host repeats on and on  in pages 1-100+ 

Expected results:
if all hosts were shown on the first page, do not show them on the next pages

Additional info:
if user has any of the admin account (tested with "ReadOnlyAdmin" and "SuperUser") the query is correct, in my case i get ouput of one host on page 1 and when i query page 2 the output is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<hosts/>

From a brief examination it doesn't look to me like the problem is in the API layer, rather I tend to believe that its somewhere in the search implementation in the Engine

Verified on:
ovirt-engine-4.4.7.5-0.9.el8ev.noarch

Steps:
1. Create a new user (user1) with User Role
2. Query paginated hosts info tru rest api
# curl -u user1@internal:<password> "https://<engine-fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%201" -k
# curl -u user1@internal:<password> "https://<engine-fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%202" -k
# curl -u user1@internal:<password> "https://<engine-fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%203" -k

Results:
Info properly queried and not repetition of info in empty pages (same response as admin user):
# curl -u user1@internal:<password> "https://<engine-fqdn>/ovirt-engine/api/hosts?search=page%203" -k
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?>
<hosts/>
