If a server points to a local MaxScale listener, the permission checks for
that server are skipped. This allows permission checks to be used with a
mix of external servers and internal services.
The static module capabilities are now used to query the capabilities of
filters and routers. The new RCAP_TYPE_NOAUTH capability is also taken
into use. These changes removes the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The static capabilities declared in getCapabilities allows certain
capabilities to be queried before instances are created. The intended use
of this capability is to remove the need for the `is_internal_service`
function.
The connector plugin directory can now be controlled with the
`connector_plugindir` argument and configuration option. This should allow
the connector to use the system plugins if the versions are binary
compatible.
Replaced calls to mysql_options to mysql_optionsv as the former is
deprecated in Connector-C 3.0 and the latter is supported in Connector-C
2.3.
The client protocol module can resolve whether a password was used based
on the information the authenticators gather before authentication is
done. It uses the authentication token length as the basis on which it
makes the decision.
The users were deleted before each individual server was queried. This
caused authentication to fail if the authentication data was loaded from
multiple servers.
Both the listeners and servers now support IPv6 addresses.
The namedserverfilter does not yet use the new structures and needs to be
fixed in a following commit.
The SQLite database is now always created on disk. This will remove the
need to dump the database users from the in-memory database to the
persisted on-disk database.
This change will also make the authentication compatible with older SQLite
implementations which lack the URI-based database strings found in newer
versions.
The authenticators should have a similar way to print diagnostic
information as filter and routers do. This allows the authenticators to
print the users in their own format.
In the future, all the diagnostic entry points should be changed so that
they return a structure that contains the information in a standard
form. This information can then be formatted in different ways by other
modules.
MariaDB and others match grants first by exact hostname/IP and then by
wildcard. If there are no exact matches, the wildcard grant should be
picked. This can be tested by having different passwords for localhost and
remote address.
The SQLite based authentication should first check for an exact match and
then only after that should it try to match the hostname to a wildcard
grant.
The get_users function now combines the functionality of the old get_users
and get_all_users. This removes large parts of similar code.
Removed the listener resources as MySQLAuth was the only one that used it.
The user data is now stored inside a SQLite3 database. By storing the data
inside a database, we remove the restriction that the previous hashtable
based implementation had.
Currently the only situation where a user needs to be authenticated after
the initial authentication is when a COM_CHANGE_USER is being
executed. This was previously handled by directly calling a function in
the MySQLAuth authenticator.
The new entry in the API of the authenticators is very specific to MySQL
and should be reviewed once other protocols are added.
Moved some typedefs to router.h and server.h, changed a few
constants to these enums. Renamed some types in config.h to
remove "Gateway".
There are still some functions in the public header which are
only used in core, but they seem to fit the theme of public functions
so were not moved.
MXS-391. The user hosts in the SQL backends can now contain wildcard
addresses (e.g.basicuser@%.com or someuser@myhost_.org). Authenticating
these types of users is rather heavy since it requires looking
up the client host name.
All modules now declare a name for the module. This is name is added as a
prefix to all messages logged by a module. The prefix should help
determine which part of the system logs a message.
Previously, these were discarded. This patch adds a function to
"merge" the mask to the ip so that it's in the form which
normalize_hostname expects (using % as wildcard). Only simple masks
with 255:s and 0:s are accepted. Any other combinations may leave
the hostname in a garbled state which will cause it to be discarded
later.
The MXS_MODULDE object now contains optinal pointers for functions
to be called att process and thread startup and shutdown. Since the
functions were added to the end, strictly speaking, all structures
would not have needed to have been modified, but better to be
explicit. In a subsequent change, these will be called.
C++ does not support flexible arrays, so for the time being C++
modules are restricted to 10 parameters. Better approach is to
factor out the parameters to a separate array and then just store
a pointer to that array in MXS_MODULE.
The MODULE_INFO is now the main object which is used by modules to convey
information to the MaxScale core. The MXS_MODULE name is more apt as it
now contains the actual module definition.
The old MODULES structure was moved into load_utils.c as an internal
implementation and was renamed so that it is not confused with the new
MODULE structure.
The modules are now declared with a common macro. This allows future
additions to the module loading process while also making the loaded
symbol name a constant.
This allows modules to only expose one entry point with a consistent
signature. In the future, this could be used to implement declarations of
module parameters.
The server test used the wrong name.
MySQL users test loaded multiple modules in one function call and wasn't
appropriate for an internal test suite test as it requires a working
installation.
The cache filter didn't set the library paths before trying to load
modules.
The binlogrouter was missing a NULL check which caused a crash.
