Add management acl-query test methods to C++ broker ACL plugin
--------------------------------------------------------------
Key: QPID-3918
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-3918
Project: Qpid
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: C++ Broker
Affects Versions: 0.14
Reporter: Chuck Rolke
Assignee: Chuck Rolke
In its current form the ACL module is not testable in a customer deployment.
The ACL module loads the ACL file and from then on only real-world activity
triggers allow and deny decisions.
This feature proposal adds two management methods that are directly tied to the
ACL decision Lookup functions. Using them a customer may start a dummy broker
process that uses his actual (1) ACL rule file. Then using a management
application the customer may fire off a set of lookups against his rule file to
see if the ACL rules deliver the intended results.
This feature could also be used to augment the self tests. It is very hard to
stage enough driver code to trigger some of the ACL queries. Using the proposed
methods then the self test can launch any ACL query directly.
(1) As usual the ACL file must be bent enough to allow 'anonymous' to have
access to the management methods
