Removing the last admin account is now forbidden. This should prevent most
cases where users could lock themselves out of the administrative
interface.
This change does allow a non-root network user to be the last admin
account. In practice this does not prevent the root user from gaining
access to maxadmin. Access can be gained by removing the users file and
restarting MaxScale or by editing the users file by hand.
The type of the created user can now be specified with the --type option.
Expanded tests that cover the user creation. Also added a test case that
checks that basic users are only allowed to read through the REST API.
MaxAdmin can now create basic users for both network and UNIX domain
socket use. Currently the basic and admin types have the same permissions
in maxadmin but for the REST API, only admin accounts can modify MaxScale.
The users are now stored as an array of JSON objects. Legacy users are
automatically upgraded once they are loaded and a backup of the original
users file is created.
Removed the password parameter from the `remove user` maxadmin command as
well as all of the relevant functions. Requiring that an administrator
knows the password of the account to be deleted is not a sound requirement
now that, at least in theory, two types of accounts can be created.
Added a utility function for checking if an admin user has been
created. Removed unused promote and demote commands which can be replaced
with a call to remove and add.
The users can now be dumped and loaded as JSON objects. This allows easier
parsing and handling of users while still retaining the possibility to
manually edit the output. Added tests for dumping and loading the JSON
form users.
Also fixed a deadlock in Users::remove() where the same lock was acquired
twice and a faulty test case where failed authentication was expected to
work.
The type of the user being created is defined at creation time. This
allows the creation of basic users.
Although the users can be created internally, they cannot yet be created
via maxadmin or the REST API.
The Users class now performs locking when a method is called. This will
prevent concurrent access to the internal map of users.
Added missing const versions of SpinLockGuard.
The refactored interface is now in use. The only module that used it
directly was the CDC protocol module. This should probably be changed so
that it uses the adminusers interface instead of the users interface
directly.
Made the USERS an opaque object to reduce the amount of exposed
interfaces. Moved the storage of users into a C++ class and exposed that
class via the users interface functions.
Removed unused code and cleaned up the documentation in the header. Added
helper functions for printing the stored users.
Added a debug option that allows stdout and stderr to be redirected to a
file. This helps with the use of ASAN which prints all of its findings to
stderr.
The buffer used to store the hexadecimal string was one byte too
short. This caused the trailing null terminator to be written into
unallocated memory.
The pointer manipulation in modutil_count_statements assumed that if a
semicolon is found, it is not the last character in the buffer. It also
assumed that the buffer contained at least one readable character.
It is now possible to specify the thread stack size to be used,
when a new thread is created. This will subsequently be used
for allowing the stack size to be specified for worker threads.
Moved 4 byte get/set into utils header. The byte packing functions in
maxscale/protocol/mysql.h should be migrated to the utils directory where
they can also be used by non-mysql code.
The temporary files are now generated with mkstemp. This will prevent
conflicts with multiple monitors operating on the same temporary journal
even though it is impossible in practice.
Added missing error messages to a couple of the functions.
All monitors now persist the state of the server in a monitor journal
file.
Moved the removal of stale journals into the core and removed them from
the monitor journal interface.
Only the protocol, port and address of the listener were used to check if
a listener exists. The check should also use the name of the listener to
be sure that each name is unique.
Expanded tests to check that the creation of duplicate listeners is
detected. Did minor improvements to related test code.
The resource collection modification times weren't updated when an
individual resource was updated. By tracking back the path of a resource
and updating the modification times, all nodes in the path will get the
correct modification time.
The checks whether a request body is present are now done at a higher
level. This removes the need to do the checks at the resource handler
callback, removing duplicated code.
The checks are done by adding constraints to resources that must be
fulfilled by each request.
Added debug assertions to make sure that the core logic of the REST API
resource system works.
The call to MHD_basic_auth_get_username_password allocates memory for both
the password and the username.
mxs_json_add_relation leaked a reference to a JSON object by using
json_array_append instead of json_array_append_new.
By moving the repurposing of the servers under the global server lock, the
repurposing of a server and allocation of a new server behave in the same
way.
Also fixed the wrong error message on server creation failure referring to
invalid server relationships.
The monitors should only be reused if they have the same name and they use
the same module. This way the only difference is in configuration.
Fixed MaxCtrl detection of bad options and altered monitor creation test
to expect correct results. Also improved some of the error messages.
If a destroyed monitor is created again, it will be reused. This should
prevent excessive memory growth when the same monitor is created and
destroyed again.
If a connection has not been fully established (i.e. authentication has
been completed) then it should not be considered as a connection pool
candidate.
The setting parsing is now similar to the other server settings.
The header is printed if log_info is on.
Changed the setting name to simply "proxy_protocol".
Updated documentation.
