CLOUDSTACK-8457: SAML auth plugin improvements for production usage
* Move config options to SAML plugin
This moves all configuration options from Config.java to SAML auth manager.
This
allows us to use the config framework.
* Make SAML2UserAuthenticator validate SAML token in httprequest
* Make logout API use ConfigKeys defined in saml auth manager
* Before doing SAML auth, cleanup local states and cookies
* Fix configurations in 4.5.1 to 4.5.2 upgrade path
* Fail if idp has no sso URL defined
* Add a default set of SAML SP cert for testing purposes
Now to enable and use saml, one needs to do a deploydb-saml after doing a
deploydb
- CLOUDSTACK-8458:
* On UI show dropdown list of discovered IdPs
* Support SAML Federation, where there may be more than one IdP
- New datastructure to hold metadata of SP or IdP
- Recursive processing of IdP metadata
- Fix login/logout APIs to get new interface and metadata data structure
- Add org/contact information to metadata
- Add new API: listIdps that returns list of all discovered IdPs
- Refactor and cleanup code and tests
- CLOUDSTACK-8459:
* Add HTTP-POST binding to SP metadata
* Authn requests must use either HTTP POST/Artifact binding
- CLOUDSTACK-8461:
* Use unspecified x509 cert as a fallback encryption/signing key
In case a IDP's metadata does not clearly say if their certificates need
to be
used as signing or encryption and we don't find that, fallback to use the
unspecified key itself.
- CLOUDSTACK-8462:
* SAML Auth plugin should not do authorization
This removes logic to create user if they don't exist. This strictly now
assumes that users have been already created/imported/authorized by
admins.
As per SAML v2.0 spec section 4.1.2, the SP provider should create authn
requests using
either HTTP POST or HTTP Artifact binding to transfer the message through
a
user agent (browser in our case). The use of HTTP Redirect was one of the
reasons
why this plugin failed to work for some IdP servers that enforce this.
* Add new User Source
By reusing the source field, we can find if a user has been SAML enabled
or not.
The limitation is that, once say a user is imported by LDAP and then SAML
enabled - they won't be able to use LDAP for authentication
* UI should allow users to pass in domain they want to log into
* SAML users need to be authorized before they can authenticate
- New column entity to track saml entity id for a user
- Reusing source column to check if user is saml enabled or not
- Add new source types, saml2 and saml2disabled
- New table saml_token to solve the issue of multiple users across
domains and
to enforce security by tracking authn token and checking the
samlresponse for
the tokens
- Implement API: authorizeSamlSso to enable/disable saml authentication
for a
user
- Stubs to implement saml token flushing/expiry
- CLOUDSTACK-8463:
* Use username attribute specified in global setting
Use username attribute defined by admin from a global setting
In case of encrypted assertion/attributes:
- Decrypt them
- Check signature if provided to check authenticity of message using IdP's
public key and SP's private key
- Loop through attributes to find the username
- CLOUDSTACK-8538:
* Add new global config for SAML request sig algorithm
- CLOUDSTACK-8539:
* Add metadata refresh timer task and token expiring
- Fix domain path and save it to saml_tokens
- Expire hour old saml tokens
- Refresh metadata based on timer task
- Fix unit tests

> Project: CloudStack
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Security Level: Public(Anyone can view this level - this is the
> default.)
> Components: SAML
> Reporter: Rohit Yadav
> Assignee: Rohit Yadav
> Priority: Critical
> Fix For: Future, 4.6.0, 4.5.2

> At the time of writing the auth plugin, I did not consider many security
> issues. The current SAML2 auth plugin would automatically create users and
> allow them inside CloudStack which in production could cause a severe
> security issue, especially in environment with public IdP server infra such
> as large institutions. Therefore, the idea is to let admin add/import users
> manually or from LDAP and then allow them to be SAML authenticated. This
> delegates the security issue and account creation/handling to the admin or
> some other business layer/system.
> The following scenario would be supported:
> - Admin adds a user either manually or importing from LDAP etc.
> - Admin can then specify (multi-select or through API) a list of one or more
> users with their username (or any unique ID) to be allowed to be SAML
> authenticated
> Assumption here is that every SAML authenticated user would have a unique
> username mapped into CloudStack. Edge case handling: In case multiple users
> exist in CloudStack with the same username (could be across domains) and if
> the admin enables SAML authentication for all those user account, then the
> plugin would assume all the users as the same and allowed by the SAML
> authenticated user. Then, upon log in, the user should be able to
> select/switch between all such accounts under any of the domains.
