# Keystone-RXT Authentication Plugin

This repo is a simple authentication plugin for Rackspace Global Auth that will allow an OpenStack environment to use
Rackspace Global Auth as an IDP.

When the plugin is installed the `password` authentication method is required, and the plugin value needs to be be set
to `rxt`. Once activated, the plugin will run normally allowing both local users and remote users to authenticate to
the cloud. The RXT authentication plugin presents a federated token and conforms to the mapping authentication driver.

### Why?

The answer is quite simple, Rackspace Public Cloud Identity provides a powerful set of tools which can allow folks
to make use of their existing users within an OpenStack environment; additionally, this setup allows us to use
OpenStack natively.

### How?

To bridge the authentication gap between Keystone and Rackspace Identity the keystone-rxt authentication driver
effectively acts as a [reverse proxy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reverse_proxy) to Rackspace Identity and
then presents the returned data as a federated token.

#### History

This plugin was inspired by the [Capstone](https://github.com/rackerlabs/capstone) project. Process wise, Capstone
and Keystone-RXT perform similar actions using Rackspace Identity as an IDP compatible with OpenStack. While
Keystone-RXT was inspired by Capstone, the two projects serve different purposes.

### Mapping

Within this repository is an example mapping file `mapping.json` which will create different users based on the roles
a user has within Rackspace Identity. This file is just an example and can be customized to meet the demands of the
OpenStack environment following the typical mapping setup. See more about Keystone Mapping and Federation
[here](https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/latest/admin/federation/mapping_combinations.html).

----

## Deploying the `keystone-rxt` plugin.

Before we can do anything you need to install the plugin within your keystone environment, for development purposes
the example here is using `pip`.

``` shell
pip install --force --upgrade git+https://github.com/rackerlabs/keystone-rxt
```

> This plugin is not yet on PyPi, but that will change with time.

### Setup your environment

Once the authentication plugin is installed, update your `keystone.conf` to use the new password plugin named `rxt`.

The configuration file entry will look something like this

``` conf
[auth]
methods = password,token,application_credential
password = rxt
```

> Take note that the `password` method is defined and that the password plugin is set to use `rxt`.

If you have multifactor auth enabled, and want to support users that are running work loads with it
the plugin also supports TOTP. To enable TOPT make sure `totp` is in your allowed authentication
methods and that the `totp` plugin is using the `rxt` plugin.

``` conf
[auth]
methods = password,token,application_credential,totp
password = rxt
totp = rxt
```

If you are using the `saml2` federation protocol, you will also need to add the `saml2` plugin to your
`keystone.conf` file.

``` conf
[auth]
methods = password,token,application_credential,saml2
password = rxt
totp = rxt
saml2 = rxt
```

Yes, just a couple of lines is all that's required in config. After the configuration edit, be sure to restart
keystone.

#### Rackspace Configurations

The `[rackspace]` section can also be used in your `keystone.conf` to allow you to configure how to anchor on
roles.

| key | value |
| ----------------- | ----- |
| `role_attribute` | A string option used as an anchor to discover roles attributed to a given user |
| `role_attribute_enforcement` | When set `true` will limit a users project to only the discovered GUID for the defined `role_attribute` |

### Identity mapping, project, and domain setup

Once the plugin is setup and running, everything will be operating normally. The plugin is passive until
the Keystone is informed about the identity provider and we have the `rackspace_cloud_domain` created.

#### Mapping Setup

Available environment variables.

| Environment Variable | Explanation |
| ----------------- | ----- |
| `RXT_UserName` | Username to be mapped |
| `RXT_Email` | Email address from the user name |
| `RXT_DomainID` | Domain ID for the federated assignment |
| `RXT_TenantName` | Semicolon separated list of tenants mapped to the user |
| `RXT_TenantID` | Tenant ID for the project |
| `RXT_orgPersonType` | RBAC association |

#### SAML Mapping Setup

Available environment variables.

| Environment Variable | Explanation |
| ----------------- | ----- |
| `REMOTE_ACCOUNT_NAME` | Account Name |
| `REMOTE_AUTH_TOKEN` | Account Auth Token |
| `REMOTE_AUTH_URL` | Auth URL |
| `REMOTE_DDI` | Account DDI |
| `REMOTE_DOMAIN` | Account Domain |
| `REMOTE_SCOPED_TOKEN` | Scoped Auth Token |
| `REMOTE_SESSION_CREATION` | Session creation time |
| `REMOTE_EMAIL` | Remote user Email Address |
| `uid` | Remote user ID |
| `REMOTE_USERNAME` | Remote Username |

##### Create the domain

``` shell
openstack domain create rackspace_cloud_domain
```

#### Create the identity provider

``` shell
openstack identity provider create --remote-id rackspace --domain rackspace_cloud_domain rackspace
```

##### Create the mapping for our identity provider

``` shell
openstack mapping create --rules files/mapping.json --schema-version 2.0 rackspace_mapping
```

##### Create the federation protocol

``` shell
openstack federation protocol create rackspace --mapping rackspace_mapping --identity-provider rackspace
```

## Using The RXT Authentication Plugin

Using the plugin is no different that a typical day in the cloud. Simply authenticate using your favorite method,
just make sure you include the `rackspace_cloud_domain` domain.

### Authentication using `openstacksdk`

This setup requires a federated token to work. The clouds yaml will not pull a token by default.

``` yaml
clouds:
local:
auth:
auth_url: http://localhost:5000/v3
project_name: 67890_Development
project_domain_name: rackspace_cloud_domain
username: test
password: secrete
user_domain_name: rackspace_cloud_domain
region_name: RegionOne
interface: internal
identity_api_version: "3"
```

If you're running the CLI tools with a TOTP enabled user and you don't want to use your API key,
setup your `clouds.yaml` with the following options so that it knows to run with `password` and
`totp`.

``` yaml
clouds:
rxt-local-mfa:
auth_type: "v3multifactor"
auth_methods:
- v3password
- v3totp
auth:
auth_url: http://localhost:5000/v3
project_name: 67890_Development
project_domain_name: rackspace_cloud_domain
username: test
password: secrete
user_domain_name: rackspace_cloud_domain
region_name: RegionOne
interface: internal
identity_api_version: "3"
```

> Enabling TOTP will require you to use your one time token to run commands, this token can be
defined on the CLI with the `--os-passcode` flag; for example the simple image list would look
like so `openstack --os-cloud local --os-passcode 123456 image list`

Once you have the clouds CLI setup, run commands normally.

##### Authentication using `cURL`

You can also use `cURL` to great effect.

> Example POST json files can be found in the files directory.

``` shell
curl -sS -D - -H "Content-Type: application/json" --data-binary "@get-scoped-token" "http://172.16.27.211:5000/v3/auth/tokens" -o /dev/null
HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json
Content-Length: 5594
X-Subject-Token: OS_TOKEN
Vary: X-Auth-Token
x-openstack-request-id: req-5a0eb098-eecc-41e1-a10d-d872dc867561
Connection: close
```

With the about command we can pull out the value of `X-Subject-Token` and store it as `OS_TOKEN` so that we can
authenticate to the various APIs supported by our service catalog.

``` shell
curl -H "Accept: application/json" -H "X-Auth-Token: $OS_TOKEN" http://localhost:9292/v2/images
```

#### Create the SAML identity provider

``` shell
openstack --os-cloud default identity provider create \
--remote-id "https://login.rackspace.com" \
--domain rackspace_cloud_domain \
Rackspace-Federation
```

> The `keystone-rxt` plugin will use the provider name `Rackspace-Federation` to identify the SAML identity provider.

##### Create the SAML mapping for our identity provider

``` shell
openstack --os-cloud default mapping create \
--rules files/rackspace-saml-mapping.json \
--schema-version 2.0 \
saml_mapping
```

##### Create the SAML federation protocol

``` shell
openstack --os-cloud default federation protocol create saml2 \
--mapping saml_mapping \
--identity-provider Rackspace-Federation
```

Once the SAML identity provider is ready, and deployed; you can use the SAML authentication via WebSSO.

To use the openstack API, it is required to first create an application credential for the user within the UI. This will
allow the user to authenticate using the SAML identity provider and then use the application credential to
authenticate to the OpenStack API.

### Authentication using `openstacksdk` and Application Credentials

This setup requires a federated token to work. The clouds yaml will not pull a token by default.

``` yaml
rxt-application-credential:
auth_type: v3applicationcredential
auth:
auth_url: http://localhost:5000/v3
application_credential_id: ${APP_CRED_ID}
application_credential_secret: ${APP_CRED_SECRET}
region_name: RegionOne
interface: internal
identity_api_version: "3"
```
