Cloud Archive Swift - Set up an Access Control List on Public Cloud Archive (EN)

Here are the concepts for implementing ACLs on Public Cloud Archive

Last updated 15th December 2021

Objective

The purpose of this guide is to help you become familiar with ACLs in order to refine access rights to your containers.

Introduction

The container ACLs are stored in the X-Container-Write and X-Container-Read metadata. The scope of the ACL is limited to the container in which the metadata is defined and to the container objects. Furthermore:

  • X-Container-Write provides the ability to perform PUT, POST, and DELETE operations on objects in a container. It does not allow POST or DELETE operations on the container itself. Some items in the access control list can also be used to perform HEAD or GET operations on the container.

  • X-Container-Read enables GET and HEAD operations to be performed on objects in a container. Some items in the access control list also allow HEAD or GET operations on the container itself. However, a container ACL does not provide access to privileged metadata (such as X-Container-Sync-Key).

Container ACLs use ACL syntax "V1" which is a comma-separated string of elements as shown in the following example:

.r:*,.rlistings,702xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdaf:*

Elements can be separated by spaces, as in the following example:

.r : *, .rlistings, 702xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdaf:*

Requirements

Instructions

Create three users

  • An admin account with the ObjectStore operator role
  • A user account with no role
  • A limited_user account with no role

Creating new users

Load the admin account environment

. openrc-admin.sh

Create a container and drop two test files

swift post -H "X-Storage-Policy: PCA" <container>
swift upload <container> <largeobject>
swift upload <container> <object>

Share the container in read/write mode with a specific member of the project

openstack user show --format json "${OS_USERNAME}"

Allow a referring domain to download objects

In order to allow all requests from the domain example.com to have access to the container objects:

swift post <container> -r ".r:.example.com"

{!primary}

Although most modern browsers include the Referrer header in their queries, this is a security risk because it is quite possible to change the value of this header.

Access verification

STORAGE_URL=`swift auth | awk -F = '/OS_STORAGE_URL/ {print $2}'`
curl -i $STORAGE_URL/<container>/<object> -H "Referrer: http://example.com/index.html"

Share a container with a user external to the project

From another project, create an other-project-user user without any role:

Other user

Get user id:

. openrc-other-project-user.sh
openstack user show --format json "${OS_USERNAME}"
{
  "default_project_id": "702xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdaf",
  "description": "other-project-user",
  "domain_id": "default",
  "enabled": true,
  "id": "c9677ed21acb4724aeafe2f60b7123f9",
  "name": "user-Pkwgh5CqDbdm",
  "options": {},
  "password_expires_at": null
}

Get the storage URL:

. openrc-admin.sh
swift auth | awk -F = '/OS_STORAGE_URL/ {print $2}'
https://storage.gra.cloud.ovh.net/v1/AUTH_297xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx49b

Allow other-project-user to access the read container:

. openrc-admin.sh
swift post -r "702xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxdaf:c9677ed21acb4724aeafe2f60b7123f9" <container>

Access verification

The case of Large Objects

If an object over 5Gb has been dropped, this generates a container such as: <container_segments>.
The same ACLs must be applied to this container in order to retrieve the object larger than 5Gb.
