anc a4f634bd89 Restrict keystone cross-tenant ACLs to IDs
The keystoneauth middleware supports cross-tenant access
control using the syntax <tenant>:<user> in container ACLs,
where <tenant> and <user> may currently be either a unique
id or a name. As a result of the keystone v3 API introducing
domains, names are no longer globally unique and are only
unique within a domain. The use of unqualified tenant and
user names in this ACL syntax is therefore not 'safe' in a
keystone v3 environment.

This patch modifies keystoneauth to restrict cross-tenant
ACL matching to use only ids for accounts that are not in
the default domain. For backwards compatibility,
names will still be matched in ACLs when both the requesting
user and tenant are known to be in the default domain AND the
account's tenant is also in the default domain (the default
domain being the domain to which existing tenants are
migrated).

Accounts existing prior to this patch are assumed to be for
tenants in the default domain. New accounts created using a
v2 token scoped on the tenant are also assumed to be in the
default domain. New accounts created using a v3 token scoped
on the tenant will learn their domain membership from the
token info. New accounts created using any unscoped token,
(i.e. with a reselleradmin role) will have unknown domain
membership and therefore be assumed to NOT be in the default
domain.

Despite this provision for backwards compatibility, names
must no longer be used when setting new ACLs in any account,
including new accounts in the default domain.

This change obviously impacts users accustomed to specifying
cross-tenant ACLs in terms of names, and further work will be
necessary to restore those use cases. Some ideas are
discussed under the bug report. With that caveat, this patch
removes the reported vulnerability when using
swift/keystoneauth with a keystone v3 API.

Note: to observe the new 'restricted' behaviour you will need
to setup keystone user(s) and tenant(s) in a non-default domain
and set auth_version = v3.0 in the auth_token middleware config
section of proxy-server.conf. You may also benefit from the
keystone v3 enabled swiftclient patch under review here:

Logs
====
Swift has quite verbose logging, and the generated logs can be used for
cluster monitoring, utilization calculations, audit records, and more. As an
overview, Swift's logs are sent to syslog and organized by log level and
syslog facility. All log lines related to the same request have the same
transaction id. This page documents the log formats used in the system.
.. note::
By default, Swift will log full log lines. However, with the
``log_max_line_length`` setting and depending on your logging server
software, lines may be truncated or shortened. With ``log_max_line_length <
7``, the log line will be truncated. With ``log_max_line_length >= 7``, the
log line will be "shortened": about half the max length followed by " ... "
followed by the other half the max length. Unless you use exceptionally
short values, you are unlikely to run across this with the following
documented log lines, but you may see it with debugging and error log
lines.
----------
Proxy Logs
----------
The proxy logs contain the record of all external API requests made to the
proxy server. Swift's proxy servers log requests using a custom format
designed to provide robust information and simple processing. The log format
is::
client_ip remote_addr datetime request_method request_path protocol
status_int referer user_agent auth_token bytes_recvd bytes_sent
client_etag transaction_id headers request_time source log_info
request_start_time request_end_time
=================== ==========================================================
**Log Field** **Value**
------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
client_ip Swift's guess at the end-client IP, taken from various
headers in the request.
remote_addr The IP address of the other end of the TCP connection.
datetime Timestamp of the request, in
day/month/year/hour/minute/second format.
request_method The HTTP verb in the request.
request_path The path portion of the request.
protocol The transport protocol used (currently one of http or
https).
status_int The response code for the request.
referer The value of the HTTP Referer header.
user_agent The value of the HTTP User-Agent header.
auth_token The value of the auth token. This may be truncated or
otherwise obscured.
bytes_recvd The number of bytes read from the client for this request.
bytes_sent The number of bytes sent to the client in the body of the
response. This is how many bytes were yielded to the WSGI
server.
client_etag The etag header value given by the client.
transaction_id The transaction id of the request.
headers The headers given in the request.
request_time The duration of the request.
source The "source" of the reuqest. This may be set for requests
that are generated in order to fulfill client requests,
e.g. bulk uploads.
log_info Various info that may be useful for diagnostics, e.g. the
value of any x-delete-at header.
request_start_time High-resolution timestamp from the start of the request.
request_end_time High-resolution timestamp from the end of the request.
=================== ==========================================================
In one log line, all of the above fields are space-separated and url-encoded.
If any value is empty, it will be logged as a "-". This allows for simple
parsing by splitting each line on whitespace. New values may be placed at the
end of the log line from time to time, but the order of the existing values
will not change. Swift log processing utilities should look for the first N
fields they require (e.g. in Python using something like
``log_line.split()[:14]`` to get up through the transaction id).
Swift Source
============
The ``source`` value in the proxy logs is used to identify the originator of a
request in the system. For example, if the client initiates a bulk upload, the
proxy server may end up doing many requests. The initial bulk upload request
will be logged as normal, but all of the internal "child requests" will have a
source value indicating they came from the bulk functionality.

Storage Node Logs
-----------------
Swift's account, container, and object server processes each log requests
that they receive, if they have been configured to do so with the
``log_requests`` config parameter (which defaults to true). The format for
these log lines is::
remote_addr - - [datetime] "request_method request_path" status_int
content_length "referer" "transaction_id" "user_agent" request_time
additional_info
=================== ==========================================================
**Log Field** **Value**
------------------- ----------------------------------------------------------
remote_addr The IP address of the other end of the TCP connection.
datetime Timestamp of the request, in
"day/month/year:hour:minute:second +0000" format.
request_method The HTTP verb in the request.
request_path The path portion of the request.
status_int The response code for the request.
content_length The value of the Content-Length header in the response.
referer The value of the HTTP Referer header.
transaction_id The transaction id of the request.
user_agent The value of the HTTP User-Agent header. Swift services
report a user-agent string of the service name followed by
the process ID, such as ``"proxy-server <pid of the
proxy>"`` or ``"object-updater <pid of the object
updater>"``.
request_time The duration of the request.
additional_info Additional useful information.
server_pid The process id of the server
