1.4 KiB

prodvider/prodaccess

It provides access, yo.

Architecture

Prodvider uses an intermediate CA (the prodvider CA, signed by the kube CA), to generate the following:

  • a cert for prodvider to present itself over gRPC for prodaccess clients
  • a cert for prodvider to authenticate itself to the kube apiserver
  • client certificates for prodaccess consumers.

Any time someone runs 'prodaccess', they get a certificate from the intermediate CA, and the intermediate CA is included as part of the chain that they receive. They can then use this chain to authenticate against kubernetes.

Naming

Prodvider customers get certificates with a CN=username@hackerspace.pl and O=sso:username. This means that they appear to Kubernetes as being a User named username@hackerspace.pl and Group named sso:username. In the future, another group might be given to users, do not rely on this relationship.

Kubernetes Structure

After generating a user certificate, prodvider will also call kubernetes to set up a personal user namespace (personal-username), a RoleBinding to system:admin-namespace from their User in their namespace (thus, giving them full rights in it) and a ClusterRoleBinding to system:viewer from their User, thus, giving them some read access for all resources, but not to secure data (like secrets).

system:admin-namespace and system:viewer are defined in //cluster/kube.
