[jira] [Updated] (AIRAVATA-2908) Improve SecurityCheck, generalize it, and apply to Profile Service API methods

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AIRAVATA-2908?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Marcus Christie updated AIRAVATA-2908:
--------------------------------------
    Description: 
Profile Service methods are annotated with @SecurityCheck but the Profile Service isn't configured with an interceptor like AiravataServerHandler: https://github.com/apache/airavata/blob/970dc68e659daf8d633e7aaeb6dceaac063d6725/airavata-api/airavata-api-server/src/main/java/org/apache/airavata/api/server/AiravataAPIServer.java#L186-L186, so it isn't really doing anything.

But just wiring up the interceptor won't work. We need to rethink what @SecurityCheck is doing. The KeyCloakSecurityManager is written such that it whitelists several API server methods, but that approach won't scale if we start adding other services.

I would like to see @SecurityCheck/SecurityInterceptor do the following:
* validate the token and store that in the cache up to the token expiration time
* if an API method is annotated with {{@SecurityCheck}} then it simply checks the token
* if an API method is annotated with {noformat}@SecurityCheck(groups={ADMIN, READ_ONLY_ADMIN}){noformat} then it checks the GatewayGroups to see if the user is in one of those groups

This will allow us to simplify KeyCloakSecurityManager: it won't need to have a whitelist of API methods and the group based auth on an API method is configured right on the method.

For example, in API server
{code:java}
    @Override
    @SecurityCheck(groups={ADMIN})
    public boolean deleteComputeResource(AuthzToken authzToken, String computeResourceId) throws InvalidRequestException,
            AiravataClientException, AiravataSystemException, AuthorizationException, TException {
    ...
    }
{code}

Some other thoughts:
* NOTE: the Profile Service may end up being broken out into a separate security project ("Custos"), so this may not be necessary. However, there are definite benefits to the API server too and future public APIs
* We could keep going with this and have @SecurityCheck also check the sharing registry. We would need to annotate the API method parameter that is the entity id and also provide the required permission, for example:
{code:java}
    @Override
    @SecurityCheck(permission=READ)
    public ExperimentModel getExperiment(AuthzToken authzToken, @SharingEntityId String airavataExperimentId) throws InvalidRequestException,
            ExperimentNotFoundException, AiravataClientException, AiravataSystemException, AuthorizationException, TException {
...
}
{code}
