Description

Description of problem:

I'm trying to create a user that has minimal permissions to register a consumer and bind to some repositories. I use puppet to provision hosts, so I basically have an exec that looks like the following, and so the password will be visible in my puppet manifest:

pulp-consumer -u admin -p password register --consumer-id hostname

I'm able to do 'pulp-admin login -u consumer-admin' from the server, so the user seems fine but the permissions not so much.

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

I’m running pulp 2.3 and CentOS 6.5 on both the server and consumer. Stock install of pulp, except I did change some SSL certs to use our company's root CA.

How reproducible:
every time

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create user and role:

pulp-admin auth role create --role-id consumer-admin --display-name "Consumer registration and repo binding"
pulp-admin auth user create --login consumer-admin --name "Consumer registration admin"
pulp-admin auth role user add --login consumer-admin --role-id consumer-admin
pulp-admin auth permission grant --resource /consumers --role-id consumer-admin -o create -o read -o update -o delete -execute

2. Attempt to register new consumer:

me@test04:~> sudo pulp-consumer -u consumer-admin -p password register --consumer-id test04

Actual results:
me@test04:~> sudo pulp-consumer -u consumer-admin -p password register --consumer-id test04
Authentication Failed

A valid Pulp user is required to register a new consumer. Please double check
the username and password and attempt the request again.

Expected results:
successful registration of consumer

Additional info:

me@pulpserver:~> pulp-admin auth role list --details

Here is the last bit of /var/log/pulp/pulp.log from the server:

File "/usr/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pulp/server/webservices/controllers/decorators.py", line 224, in _auth_decorator
raise AuthenticationFailed(auth_utils.CODE_PERMISSION)
AuthenticationFailed: Pulp exception occurred: AuthenticationFailed

Also, the "Authentication failed" error message on the consumer should probably say "permission denied". Thanks for the help.

typo above. Step 1's last line should read:

pulp-admin auth permission grant --resource /consumers --role-id consumer-admin -o create -o read -o update -o delete -o execute

The resource needed to be '/v2/consumers/'. Both v2 and trailing slash are important. We probably need to clarify that in our documentation.

Document in user guide that:
- "/v2" is required
- what are the possible resource identifiers
- when is a trailing slash required, and mention this in the troubleshooting section

Thanks, I was able to grant the minimal permissions with this:

pulp-admin auth permission grant --resource='/v2/consumers/' --role-id=consumer-admin  -o create -o read -o update -o delete -o execute

Regarding the trailing slash, could you put in a check for it and add the trailing slash if the user did not supply it in the --resource argument? Or would there be situations where a trailing slash is not desired or would cause breakage?

Perhaps checking the supplied resource argument against "what are the possible resource identifiers" list and spitting out an error message with possible resource identifiers would be helpful.

In order to fix this issue, we will need to combine our dev and user guides into a single Sphinx project so that we can link from one to the other. We don't want to do that at this moment, so I am delaying working on this for now.

The docs are all merged on our master branch, but there are higher priority issues for me to work on at the moment so I'm putting this down.

Hi Irina!

According to the PR docs and Sayli's comments, it looks like the permissions need to be granted on /v2/consumers/ and not /consumers. Can you re-check it with /v2/consumers/?

Hi Randy!

My bad I didn't read comments carefully. Sorry! Right, I remember a doc bug on trailing slashes.

Here it is for /v2/consumers/
