Story #4938

Updated by lmjachky over 4 years ago

We need to add auth mechanism to Pulp registry - -basic or- token based. 

 This ticket will be complete when a token based auth mechanism will be added. 

 -Basic auth mechanism will be solved in a separate ticket.- 

 ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 1. Create a separate endpoint for accessing a token server. It might be something similar to "https://auth.docker.io/token" (localhost/token:PORT). A new app route will be required to add in the file content.py (https://github.com/pulp/pulp_docker/blob/82380e7c8cd8af2ead0f996d2950b9ab511221ad/pulp_docker/app/content.py#L3). 

 An HTTP GET request for the token server will be created when a registry requires authorization. In our case, this is going to happen in every single time. Users are not managed by a centralized access control yet. However, yet, therefore, requests will contain no information about users in Basic Auth Header (username:password). If there is not used any authorization at all, the username will be set to "anonymous". 

 While generating a secure token, it is required to pass a username and a secret key to the token generator. The secret key can be stored in a file system and fetched during the generation. The username can be retrieved from Basic Auth Header ("sub": "real_user_name", where real_user_name is passed via Basic Auth Header). The password of the user will be ignored. "anonymous"). An authentication of users is not handled by this issue. See the issue https://pulp.plan.io/issues/5338 to learn more. 

 2. If the user is attempting to access a permitted scope, the token server generates an implementation specific token and returns it in a response.

 To generate a secure token, the library PyJWT (https://pypi.org/project/PyJWT/) can be used. The generated token will be then used by a client in subsequent requests. The registry will proceed further with authenticated pull/push calls along with the bearer token.

 * We can implement exactly the same behavior as it is described in the authentication scheme https://docs.docker.com/registry/spec/auth/token/. Pulp only needs to generate a bearer token according to submitted scope and actions. 

 It is possible to utilize the deleted implementation of JWT https://github.com/pulp/pulpcore/commit/9df430aa7511d5a66927b2b67d02997f18a694b6. It was deleted because there was a no viable use case for the that.
