Description

This is an epic that will enable plugin writers to use scripts provided by Pulp administrators to sign files.

Pulp Administrators will use django-admin shell_plus or a python script to CRUD an instance of a SigningService model.

Pulp Administrators will be able to retrieve an instance of a SigningService using the REST API.

Plugin writers will be able to use SigningService.sign_file(filename) to retrieve an ascii-armored detached gpg signature and public key for verifying it.

Administrators will have documentation that states the signing script needs to print a dictionary that looks like this:

{"file": "repomd.xml", "signature": "repomd.xml.asc", "key": "public.key"}

Could we get away with having users use shell_plus for the nearterm? Otherwise we'll need to made the create, list, and delete interfaces too.

bmbouter, yes we can get away with having admins use django-admin shell_plus command to create the Signing Service. I updated the description to reflect that this is simply a documentation task.

  • At the end, it was decided that a detached signature will have the same name as a signed file. This consensus will be mentioned in the docs. The file type ".asc" shall be then appended to the signed filename, like so:
  "repomd.xml" -> "repomd.xml.asc"
  
  • Furthermore, in the future, there might be used a different signing method for a different type of content. Due to that, the model SigningService should be a parent class of more specific models (in our case, we currently have one example of such a model - AsciiArmorDetachedSigningService). The interface for the signing method remains untouched:
  SigningService(Model):

      def sign():
          """Invoke an external signing service."""

  AsciiArmorDetachedSigningService(SigningService):

      def sign():
          """"Invoke inherited SigningService.sign() and validate returned data."""
