Login Protection
================
.. rubric:: |context|
The objective of login protection is to increase the overall security of the
system, thus preventing password-guessing attacks such as brute force. It is
implemented on Keystone service and it applies to all the services that depend
on it, such as Horizon.
When a user fails to login consecutively for a configured number of times, the
system will prevent the user from authenticating via Keystone for a configured
amount of time.
.. note::
User admin is not affected by the login protection. For more information,
see
`https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/pike/admin/identity-security-compliance.html
<https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/pike/admin/identity-security-compliance.html>`__.
Login protection is enabled by default to lockout a user on 5 consecutive
login failures, for a lockout duration of 1800 seconds.
The following procedure allows you to customize the behaviour.
.. rubric:: |proc|
Keystone Helm Chart Override
****************************
The login protection has two key parameters:
* parameter for the number of failed attempts to lockout the user
(lockout_failure_attempts)
* parameter for the period in seconds that the user remains locked out from
authenticating on Keystone (lockout_duration).
The customization of these parameters is done via Helm overrides.
#. Set up admin privileges.
.. code-block:: none
$ source /etc/platform/openrc
#. Create the ``keystone-login-protection.yml`` Helm overrides file.
.. code-block:: none
conf:
keystone:
security_compliance:
lockout_failure_attempts: <integer>
lockout_duration: <integer>
Where ``lockout_failure_attempts`` is the number of failed attempts
(defaults to 5 attempts) for locking out the user temporarily, and
``lockout_duration`` is the period (defaults to 1800 seconds) that the user
remains locked out from authenticating via Keystone.
.. note::
Login protection is enabled with the default values stated above.
#. Run the following command to apply Helm override.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system helm-override-update --reuse-values --values keystone-login-protection.yml |prefix|-openstack keystone openstack
#. Run the following command to check applied user overrides.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system helm-override-show |prefix|-openstack keystone openstack
The following output is shown for the user_overrides property.
.. code-block:: none
+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| Property | Value |
+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| user_overrides | conf: |
| | keystone: |
| | security_compliance: |
| | lockout_duration: <integer> |
| | lockout_failure_attempts: <integer> |
+--------------------+-----------------------------------------------+
#. Run the following command to reapply OpenStack with the updated Helm
override values.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system application-apply |prefix|-openstack
.. note::
|prefix|-openstack application must be in *Applied* or *Uploaded* state
for the command to work.
#. Wait for the apply to complete.
.. code-block:: none
$ watch -n 5 system application-list
Helm Chart Overrides Removal
****************************
This section details how to restore the default values for the Login Protection
feature by removing the Helm overrides.
#. Set up admin privileges.
.. code-block:: none
$ source /etc/platform/openrc
#. List Keystone Helm overrides with the following command.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system helm-override-show |prefix|-openstack keystone openstack
#. Create a new ``keystone-helm-overrides.yml`` with all user overrides except
``lockout_failure_attempts`` and ``lockout_duration`` parameters.
#. Run the following command to update the override with the created file.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system helm-override-update --values keystone-helm-overrides.yml |prefix|-openstack keystone openstack
#. Run the following command to reapply OpenStack to restore default values.
.. parsed-literal::
~(keystone_admin)]$ system application-apply |prefix|-openstack
.. note::
|prefix|-openstack application must be in *Applied* or *Uploaded* state
for the command to work.
#. Wait for apply to complete.
.. code-block:: none
$ watch -n 5 system application-list
