If an attacker can force a username change at an IdP, upon second login,
the services.User object of the original user can be updated with new
roles and traits. If these new roles and traits differ, the original
user can have their privileges raised (or lowered).
To mitigate this, encode roles and traits within the certificate and use
these when fetching roles to make RBAC decisions. If roles and traits are
not encoded within an certificate (for example for old style SSH
certificates then fallback to using the services.User object and log a
warning.
* Support resource-based bootstrapping for backend.
Outside of static configuration, most of the persistent state of an
auth server exists as a collection of resources, stored in its
backend. The resource API also forms the basis of Teleport's more
advanced dynamic configuration options.
This commit extends the usefulness of the resource API by adding
the ability to bootstrap backend state with a set of previously
exported resources. This allows the resource API to serve as a
rudimentary backup/migration tool.
Notes: This features is a work in progress, and very easy to misuse;
while it will prevent you from overwriting the state of an existing
auth server, it won't stop you from bootstrapping into a wildly
misconfigured state. In general, resource-based bootstrapping is
not a complete solution for backup or migration.
* update e-ref
This commit expands the usage of the caching layer
for auth server API:
* Introduces in-memory cache that is used to serve all
Auth server API requests. This is done to achieve scalability
on 10K+ node clusters, where each node fetches certificate authorities,
roles, users and join tokens. It is not possible to scale
DynamoDB backend or other backends on 10K reads per seconds
on a single shard or partition. The solution is to introduce
an in-memory cache of the backend state that is always used
for reads.
* In-memory cache has been expanded to support all resources
required by the auth server.
* Experimental `tctl top` command has been introduced to display
common single node metrics.
Replace SQLite Memory Backend with BTree
SQLite in memory backend was suffering from
high tail latencies under load (up to 8 seconds
in 99.9%-ile on load configurations).
This commit replaces the SQLite memory caching
backend with in-memory BTree backend that
brought down tail latencies to 2 seconds (99.9%-ile)
and brought overall performance improvement.
Moved expiry field from spec to metadata for services.Users and updated
expiry check to prefer metadata and fallback to spec if not found. Added
test coverage.
This issue updates #1986.
This is intial, experimental implementation that will
be updated with tests and edge cases prior to production 2.7.0 release.
Teleport proxy adds support for Kubernetes API protocol.
Auth server uses Kubernetes API to receive certificates
issued by Kubernetes CA.
Proxy intercepts and forwards API requests to the Kubernetes
API server and captures live session traffic, making
recordings available in the audit log.
Tsh login now updates kubeconfig configuration to use
Teleport as a proxy server.
This commit introduced mutual TLS authentication
for auth server API server.
Auth server multiplexes HTTP over SSH - existing
protocol and HTTP over TLS - new protocol
on the same listening socket.
Nodes and users authenticate with 2.5.0 Teleport
using TLS mutual TLS except backwards-compatibility
cases.
