[jira] [Commented] (ZOOKEEPER-1736) Zookeeper SASL authentication allows anonymus users to log in

["Andrew Purtell (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ZOOKEEPER-1736?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13721330#comment-13721330 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on ZOOKEEPER-1736:
-------------------------------------------

Authentication is for establishing identity for the purpose of testing access to znodes protected by 'SASL:*' ACLs. Connections and requests are still allowed if authentication fails, the effect will be access to those ACLs will be denied to the unauthenticated or anonymous user.

> Hello.
> I have configured Zookeeper to provide SASL authentication, using ordinary username and password stored in the JAAS.conf as a DigestLoginModule
> I have created a simple jaas.conf file:
> Server {
>     org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestLoginModule required
>     user_admin="admin";
> };
> Client {
>     org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.DigestLoginModule required
>     username="admin"
>     password="admin";
> };
> I have the zoo.cfg correctly configured for security, adding the following:
> requireClientAuthScheme=sasl
> authProvider.1=org.apache.zookeeper.server.auth.SASLAuthenticationProvider
> jaasLoginRenew=3600000
> zookeeper.allowSaslFailedClients=false
> And I also have the java.env file:
> export JVMFLAGS="-Djava.security.auth.login.config=/etc/zookeeper/conf/jaas.conf -Dzookeeper.allowSaslFailedClients=false"
> Everything looks good. If I put the right username and password I authenticate, otherwise not and I get an exception.
> The problem is when I don’t put any username and password at all, zookeeper allows me to go through.
> I tried different things but nothing stops anonymous users to log in.
> I was looking at the source code,  in particular the  ZookeeperServer.java, this method:
>     public void processPacket(ServerCnxn cnxn, ByteBuffer incomingBuffer) throws IOException {
> The section below:
> } else {
>             if (h.getType() == OpCode.sasl) {
>                 Record rsp = processSasl(incomingBuffer,cnxn);
>                 ReplyHeader rh = new ReplyHeader(h.getXid(), 0, KeeperException.Code.OK.intValue());
>                 cnxn.sendResponse(rh,rsp, "response"); // not sure about 3rd arg..what is it?
>             }
>             else {
>                 Request si = new Request(cnxn, cnxn.getSessionId(), h.getXid(),
>                   h.getType(), incomingBuffer, cnxn.getAuthInfo());
>                 si.setOwner(ServerCnxn.me);
>                 submitRequest(si);
>             }
>         }
> The else flow  appears to just forward any anonymous request  to the handler, without attempting any authentication.
> Is this a bug? Is there any way to stop anonymous users connecting to Zookeeper?
> Thanks
