The code does not properly set a new deployemnt ID when not present
in format.json: it loops twice without releasing write lock on format.json
causing an infinite locking error on the same file.
This commit fixes and simplifies a little the code.
This PR implements locking from a global entity into
a more localized set level entity, allowing for locks
to be held only on the resources which are writing

This PR adds code to appropriately handle versioning issues
that come up quite constantly across our API changes. Currently
we were also routing our requests wrong which sort of made it
harder to write a consistent error handling code to appropriately
reject or honor requests.
This PR potentially fixes issues
- old mc is used against new minio release which is incompatible
returns an appropriate for client action.
- any older servers talking to each other, report appropriate error
- incompatible peer servers should report error and reject the calls
with appropriate error
This is to avoid making calls to backend and requiring
gateways to allow permissions for ListBuckets() operation
just for Liveness checks, we can avoid this and make
our liveness checks to be more performant.
- Supports migrating only when the credential ENVs are set,
so any FS mode deployments which do not have ENVs set will
continue to remain as is.
- Credential ENVs can be rotated using MINIO_ACCESS_KEY_OLD

to rotate the encrypted content to a new admin key.

The new auto healing model selects one node always responsible
for auto-healing the whole cluster, erasure set by erasure set.
If that node dies, another node will be elected as a leading

This code also adds a goroutine which checks each 10 minutes
if there are any new unformatted disks and performs its healing
in that case, only the erasure set which has the new disk will
be healed.

On Kubernetes/Docker setups DNS resolves inappropriately
sometimes where there are situations same endpoints with
multiple disks come online indicating either one of them
is local and some of them are not local. This situation
can never happen and its only a possibility in orchestrated
deployments with dynamic DNS. Following code ensures that we
treat if one of the endpoint says its local for a given host
it is true for all endpoints for the same host. Following code
ensures that this assumption is true and it works in all
scenarios and it is safe to assume for a given host.
This PR also adds validation such that we do not crash the
server if there are bugs in the endpoints list in dsync

Minio V2 listing uses object names/prefixes as continuation tokens. This
is problematic when object names contain some characters that are forbidden
in XML documents. This PR will use base64 encoded form of continuation
and next continuation tokens to address that corner case.
errors.errorString() cannot be marshalled by gob
encoder, so using a slice of []error would fail
to be encoded. This leads to no errors being
generated instead gob.Decoder on the storage-client
would see an io.EOF
To avoid such bugs introduce a typed error for
handling such translations and register this type
for gob encoding support.

Add LDAP based users-groups system
This change adds support to integrate an LDAP server for user
authentication. This works via a custom STS API for LDAP. Each user
accessing the MinIO who can be authenticated via LDAP receives
temporary credentials to access the MinIO server.
LDAP is enabled only over TLS.
User groups are also supported via LDAP. The administrator may
configure an LDAP search query to find the group attribute of a user -
this may correspond to any attribute in the LDAP tree (that the user
has access to view). One or more groups may be returned by such a
query.
A group is mapped to an IAM policy in the usual way, and the server
enforces a policy corresponding to all the groups and the user's own
mapped policy.
When LDAP is configured, the internal MinIO users system is disabled.
It looks like from implementation point of view fastjson
parser pool doesn't behave the same way as expected
when dealing many `xl.json` from multiple disks.
The fastjson parser pool usage ends up returning incorrect
xl.json entries for checksums, with references pointing
to older entries. This led to the subtle bug where checksum
info is duplicated from a previous xl.json read of a different
file from different disk.
With this PR, liveness check responds with 200 OK with "server-not-
initialized" header while objectLayer gets initialized. The header
is removed as objectLayer is initialized. This is to allow
MinIO distributed cluster to get started when running on an
orchestration platforms like Docker Swarm.
This PR also updates sample Swarm yaml files to use correct values
for healthcheck fields.
Fixes#8140
This commit adds an admin API route and handler for
requesting status information about a KMS key.
Therefore, the client specifies the KMS key ID (when
empty / not set the server takes the currently configured
default key-ID) and the server tries to perform a dummy encryption,
re-wrap and decryption operation. If all three succeed we know that
the server can access the KMS and has permissions to generate, re-wrap
and decrypt data keys (policy is set correctly).
This is a defensive change to avoid any future issues,
from this part of the code. New change also ensures
to populate UUID if present for the right disk.
This commit fixes the web ZIP download handler for
encrypted objects. The decryption logic has moved into
`getObjectNInfo`. So trying to decrypt the (already decrypted)
content again in the ZIP handler obviously causes an error.
This commit fixes this by removing the decryption logic from the
the handler.

When a peer client which higher version sends a request to a peer
server with lower version, the returned status code is 200 OK instead
of 405 code. The reason is that the peer client request reaches the
browser handler, which registers itself by '/minio' route but without
any other constraints. Adding filtering by user agent header to the
browser route so internal requests to old endpoints versions return
405 error code.
This is a behavior change from AWS S3, but it is done with
better judgment on our end to allow the listing of buckets only
which user has access to.
The advantage is this declutters the UI for users and only
lists bucket which they have access to.
Precursor for this feature to be applicable is a policy
must have the following actions
```
s3:ListAllMyBuckets
```
and
```
s3:ListBucket
```
enabled in the policy.

When checking if federation is necessary, the code compares
the SRV record stored in etcd against the list of endpoints
that the MinIO server is exposing. If there is an intersection
in this list the request is forwarded.
The SRV record includes both the host and the port, but the
intersection check previously only looked at the IP address. This
would prevent federation from working in situations where the endpoint
IP is the same for multiple MinIO servers. Some examples of where this
can occur are:
- running mulitiple copies of MinIO on the same host
- using multiple MinIO servers behind a NAT with port-forwarding
This commit adds a new method `UpdateKey` to the KMS
interface.
The purpose of `UpdateKey` is to re-wrap an encrypted
data key (the key generated & encrypted with a master key by e.g.
Vault).
For example, consider Vault with a master key ID: `master-key-1`
and an encrypted data key `E(dk)` for a particular object. The
data key `dk` has been generated randomly when the object was created.
Now, the KMS operator may "rotate" the master key `master-key-1`.
However, the KMS cannot forget the "old" value of that master key
since there is still an object that requires `dk`, and therefore,
the `D(E(dk))`.
With the `UpdateKey` method call MinIO can ask the KMS to decrypt
`E(dk)` with the old key (internally) and re-encrypted `dk` with
the new master key value: `E'(dk)`.
However, this operation only works for the same master key ID.
When rotating the data key (replacing it with a new one) then
we perform a `UnsealKey` operation with the 1st master key ID
and then a `GenerateKey` operation with the 2nd master key ID.
This commit also updates the KMS documentation and removes
the `encrypt` policy entry (we don't use `encrypt`) and
add a policy entry for `rewarp`.
After some extensive refactors, it turned out empty directories
are not healed and heal status is also not reported correctly.
This commit fixes it and adds the appropriate unit tests
This PR fixes relying on r.Context().Done()

HTTP Header, this has detrimental issues for
client side connection pooling. Since this
header explicitly tells clients to turn-off
connection pooling. This causing pro-active
connections to be closed leaving many conn's
in TIME_WAIT state. This can be observed with
`mc admin trace -a` when running distributed
setup.
This PR also fixes tracing filtering issue

Related to #7982, this PR refactors the code
such that we validate the OPA or JWKS in a
common place.
This is also a refactor which is already done
in the new config migration change. Attempt
to avoid any network I/O during Unmarshal of
JSON from disk, instead do it later when
updating the in-memory data structure.
In situations such as when client uploading data,
prematurely disconnects from server such as pressing
ctrl-c before uploading all the data. Under this
situation in distributed setup we prematurely
disconnect disks causing a reconnect loop. This has
an adverse affect we end up leaving a lot of files
in temporary location which ideally should have been
cleaned up when Put() prematurely fails.
This is also a regression which got introduced in #7610
- Policy mapping is now at `config/iam/policydb/users/myuser1.json`
and includes version.
- User identity file is now versioned.
- Migrate old data to the new format.
Calling ListMultipartUploads fails if an upload is aborted while a
part is being uploaded because the directory for the upload exists
(since fsRenameFile ends up calling os.MkdirAll) but the meta JSON file
doesn't. To fix this we make sure an upload hasn't been aborted during
PutObjectPart by checking the existence of the directory for the upload
while moving the temporary part file into it.
This PR is based off @sinhaashish's PR for object lifecycle

This commit relaxes the restriction that the MinIO gateway

mode.

Previously the read/write lock applied both for gateway use cases as
well the object store use case. Nothing from sys is touched or looked
at in the gateway usecase though, so we don't need to lock. Don't lock

as where this is called from (checkRequestAuthType) is quite common.
etcd when used in federated setups, currently
mandates that all clusters should have same
config.json, which is too restrictive and makes
federation a restrictive environment.
This change makes it apparent that each cluster
needs to be independently managed if necessary
from `mc admin info` command line.
Each cluster with in federation can have their
own root credentials and as well as separate
regions. This way buckets get further restrictions
and allows for root creds to be not common
across clusters/data centers.
Existing data in etcd gets migrated to backend
on each clusters, upon start. Once done
users can change their config entries
independently.
