When performing concurrent user admin actions (e.g. resetUser, addUser,
removeUser on ActiveMQServerControl) when using the
PropertiesLoginModule with reload=true the underlying user and role
properties files can get corrupted.
This commit fixes the issue via the following changes:
- Add synchronization to the management commands
- Add concurrency controls to underlying file access
- Change CLI user commands to use remote methods instead of modifying
the files directly. This avoids potential concurrent changes. This
change forced me to modify the names of some of the commands'
parameters to disambiguate them from connection-related parameters.
In a cluster scenario where non durable subscribers fail over to
backup while another live node forwarding messages to it,
there is a chance that the the live node keeps the old remote
binding for the subs and messages go to those
old remote bindings will result in "binding not found".
The default JAAS security manager doesn't need the address/FQQN for
authorization, but I'm putting it back into the interface because there
are other use cases which *do* need it.
Both authentication and authorization will hit the underlying security
repository (e.g. files, LDAP, etc.). For example, creating a JMS
connection and a consumer will result in 2 hits with the *same*
authentication request. This can cause unwanted (and unnecessary)
resource utilization, especially in the case of networked configuration
like LDAP.
There is already a rudimentary cache for authorization, but it is
cleared *totally* every 10 seconds by default (controlled via the
security-invalidation-interval setting), and it must be populated
initially which still results in duplicate auth requests.
This commit optimizes authentication and authorization via the following
changes:
- Replace our home-grown cache with Google Guava's cache. This provides
simple caching with both time-based and size-based LRU eviction. See more
at https://github.com/google/guava/wiki/CachesExplained. I also thought
about using Caffeine, but we already have a dependency on Guava and the
cache implementions look to be negligibly different for this use-case.
- Add caching for authentication. Both successful and unsuccessful
authentication attempts will be cached to spare the underlying security
repository as much as possible. Authenticated Subjects will be cached
and re-used whenever possible.
- Authorization will used Subjects cached during authentication. If the
required Subject is not in the cache it will be fetched from the
underlying security repo.
- Caching can be disabled by setting the security-invalidation-interval
to 0.
- Cache sizes are configurable.
- Management operations exist to inspect cache sizes at runtime.
