Re: Using variables in SSLContextService

2019-02-19 Thread Andy LoPresto
I think there are a couple distinct issues to address here. 

The claim that allowing EL evaluation for the keystore/truststore path is a 
security concern. What is the risk here? This input should be trusted (if 
someone is configuring the SSLContextService, they are aware of & using a 
system which has a keystore & truststore to which the OS user running NiFi has 
read access). Any user input which is used to read from the local filesystem 
anywhere in the application should be validated, but at some point, input from 
an authenticated and authorized user must be allowed in order to configure the 
system. 
One could make the argument that this controller service should be @Restricted, 
similar to the KeytabCredentialsService used to provide protected access to 
various Kerberos key tabs without exposing file locations to unauthorized 
users. 
I am unclear on the apparent distinction being drawn by some people here 
between variable substitution and expression language evaluation. My 
understanding is that a property descriptor can support expression language or 
not — a boolean decision. _If_ it supports expression language, it can allow 
variable access to “only" the Variable Registry (which includes custom 
properties files and OS environment variables) or it can include the flowfile 
attributes of each flowfile that passes through the component. Some properties 
are scoped to not allow per-flowfile access, but I am unaware of any property 
descriptor which supports variable substitution which does not allow the full 
complement of EL functions to be evaluated. I have verified this in NiFi 
1.9.0-RC2 by putting EL code containing functions into the Input Directory PD 
of ListFile, which is scoped to “Variable Registry Only” — it successfully 
executes the EL functions. See code in [1] and [2] for more. 
I think it is a fair request for the keystore/truststore path property 
descriptors of the implementations of SSLContextService and 
RestrictedSSLContextService to evaluate EL with the variable scope of VR only. 
However, the password properties still will not accept EL at all. I think there 
are legitimate discussions to be had around adding the Restricted component 
permission to those controller services, and around separating EL function 
evaluation from simple variable substitution, but currently those topics have 
not been addressed.

Re: Using variables in SSLContextService

2019-02-19 Thread Joe Witt
I agree that there is value in having EL enabled properties for some of the
SSLContext properties.  I dont understand the security concern raised but
am open to what I might be missing.  It would need variable and env var
access.

Thanks

RE: Using variables in SSLContextService

2019-02-19 Thread Beutel, Maximilian
Andrew,

Yes, I was exploring to see if I can use variable registry values in the 
properties of the SSL Context Service. I wouldn’t need full expression language 
support.

To give an example of what I want to do:

My keystore is a .p12 file, call it store.p12. On my development box it resides 
in a different location than on my prod.

On dev: C:/Users/max/store.p12
On prod: /etc/store.p12

So my idea was to define the keystore path such as 
${nifi.system.properties.dir}/store.p12 in the CS and then I can easily 
override the directory based on which stage I am using the variable registry.

If you guys agree that this is a reasonable request, is it ok for me then to 
raise such a feature request in 
https://issues.apache.org/jira/projects/NIFI/issues/NIFI-4610?filter=allopenissues
 ?

In the meantime, is there another way to achieve what I’m after?

Thanks!

Hello!

Also asked the question on IRC, but figured the mailing list might be better

For an InvokeHTTP processor I defined a SSL Context Service. In the SSL Context 
Service, in Keystore Filename property, I’d like to use a variable which I 
defined in a nifi.registry file. So in my nifi.properties I have:

nifi.variable.registry.properties=./conf/custom.properties

And in the conf/custom.properties I have:

nifi.system.properties.file=C:/Users/some.file

And in the field Keystore Filename in the SSL Context Service I input:

${nifi.system.properties.file}

But then saving the SSL Context Service doesn’t work anymore, the validation 
fails and says “${nifi.system.properties.file} does not exist”. The actual file 
does exist however, but I suspect that the variable doesn’t get interpolated.

According to 
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-ssl-context-service-nar/1.5.0/org.apache.nifi.ssl.StandardSSLContextService/index.html
 it seems like expression language is not supported for Keystore Filename 
property. Does this also imply that variables won’t work in that field?

Thanks for your help!

Using variables in SSLContextService

2019-02-18 Thread Beutel, Maximilian
Hello!

Also asked the question on IRC, but figured the mailing list might be better 
for this longer question.

For an InvokeHTTP processor I defined a SSL Context Service. In the SSL Context 
Service, in Keystore Filename property, I'd like to use a variable which I 
defined in a nifi.registry file. So in my nifi.properties I have:

nifi.variable.registry.properties=./conf/custom.properties

And in the conf/custom.properties I have:

nifi.system.properties.file=C:/Users/some.file

And in the field Keystore Filename in the SSL Context Service I input:

${nifi.system.properties.file}

But then saving the SSL Context Service doesn't work anymore, the validation 
fails and says "${nifi.system.properties.file} does not exist". The actual file 
does exist however, but I suspect that the variable doesn't get interpolated.

According to 
https://nifi.apache.org/docs/nifi-docs/components/org.apache.nifi/nifi-ssl-context-service-nar/1.5.0/org.apache.nifi.ssl.StandardSSLContextService/index.html
 it seems like expression language is not supported for Keystore Filename 
property. Does this also imply that variables won't work in that field?

Thanks for your help!

Max
