druid-basic-security	Basic Security

This Apache Druid (incubating) extension adds:

• an Authenticator which supports HTTP Basic authentication
• an Authorizer which implements basic role-based access control

Make sure to include druid-basic-security as an extension.

Please see Authentication and Authorization for more information on the extension interfaces being implemented.

Configuration

The examples in the section will use "MyBasicAuthenticator" and "MyBasicAuthorizer" as names for the Authenticator and Authorizer.

These properties are not tied to specific Authenticator or Authorizer instances.

These configuration properties should be added to the common runtime properties file.

Properties

Property	Description	Default	required
druid.auth.basic.common.pollingPeriod	Defines in milliseconds how often processes should poll the Coordinator for the current authenticator/authorizer database state.	60000	No
druid.auth.basic.common.maxRandomDelay	Defines in milliseconds the amount of random delay to add to the pollingPeriod, to spread polling requests across time.	6000	No
druid.auth.basic.common.maxSyncRetries	Determines how many times a service will retry if the authentication/authorization database state sync with the Coordinator fails.	10	No
druid.auth.basic.common.cacheDirectory	If defined, snapshots of the basic Authenticator and Authorizer database caches will be stored on disk in this directory. If this property is defined, when a service is starting, it will attempt to initialize its caches from these on-disk snapshots, if the service is unable to initialize its state by communicating with the Coordinator.	null	No

Creating an Authenticator

druid.auth.authenticatorChain=["MyBasicAuthenticator"]

druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.type=basic
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.initialAdminPassword=password1
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.initialInternalClientPassword=password2
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.authorizerName=MyBasicAuthorizer

To use the Basic authenticator, add an authenticator with type basic to the authenticatorChain.

Configuration of the named authenticator is assigned through properties with the form:

druid.auth.authenticator.<authenticatorName>.<authenticatorProperty>

The configuration examples in the rest of this document will use "MyBasicAuthenticator" as the name of the authenticator being configured.

Properties

Property	Description	Default	required
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.initialAdminPassword	Initial Password Provider for the automatically created default admin user. If no password is specified, the default admin user will not be created. If the default admin user already exists, setting this property will not affect its password.	null	No
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.initialInternalClientPassword	Initial Password Provider for the default internal system user, used for internal process communication. If no password is specified, the default internal system user will not be created. If the default internal system user already exists, setting this property will not affect its password.	null	No
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.enableCacheNotifications	If true, the Coordinator will notify Druid processes whenever a configuration change to this Authenticator occurs, allowing them to immediately update their state without waiting for polling.	true	No
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.cacheNotificationTimeout	The timeout in milliseconds for the cache notifications.	5000	No
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.credentialIterations	Number of iterations to use for password hashing.	10000	No
druid.auth.authenticator.MyBasicAuthenticator.authorizerName	Authorizer that requests should be directed to	N/A	Yes

Creating an Escalator

# Escalator
druid.escalator.type=basic
druid.escalator.internalClientUsername=druid_system
druid.escalator.internalClientPassword=password2
druid.escalator.authorizerName=MyBasicAuthorizer

Properties

Property	Description	Default	required
druid.escalator.internalClientUsername	The escalator will use this username for requests made as the internal systerm user.	n/a	Yes
druid.escalator.internalClientPassword	The escalator will use this Password Provider for requests made as the internal system user.	n/a	Yes
druid.escalator.authorizerName	Authorizer that requests should be directed to.	n/a	Yes

Creating an Authorizer

druid.auth.authorizers=["MyBasicAuthorizer"]

druid.auth.authorizer.MyBasicAuthorizer.type=basic

To use the Basic authorizer, add an authenticator with type basic to the authorizers list.

Configuration of the named authenticator is assigned through properties with the form:

druid.auth.authorizer.<authorizerName>.<authorizerProperty>

Properties

Property	Description	Default	required
druid.auth.authorizer.MyBasicAuthorizer.enableCacheNotifications	If true, the Coordinator will notify Druid processes whenever a configuration change to this Authorizer occurs, allowing them to immediately update their state without waiting for polling.	true	No
druid.auth.authorizer.MyBasicAuthorizer.cacheNotificationTimeout	The timeout in milliseconds for the cache notifications.	5000	No

Usage

Coordinator Security API

To use these APIs, a user needs read/write permissions for the CONFIG resource type with name "security".

Authentication API

Root path: /druid-ext/basic-security/authentication

Each API endpoint includes {authenticatorName}, specifying which Authenticator instance is being configured.

User/Credential Management

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/db/{authenticatorName}/users) Return a list of all user names.

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/db/{authenticatorName}/users/{userName}) Return the name and credentials information of the user with name {userName}

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/db/{authenticatorName}/users/{userName}) Create a new user with name {userName}

DELETE(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/db/{authenticatorName}/users/{userName}) Delete the user with name {userName}

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/db/{authenticatorName}/users/{userName}/credentials) Assign a password used for HTTP basic authentication for {userName} Content: JSON password request object

Example request body:

{
  "password": "helloworld"
}

Cache Load Status

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication/loadStatus) Return the current load status of the local caches of the authentication database.

Authorization API

Root path: /druid-ext/basic-security/authorization

Each API endpoint includes {authorizerName}, specifying which Authorizer instance is being configured.

User Creation/Deletion

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users) Return a list of all user names.

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users/{userName}) Return the name and role information of the user with name {userName}

Example output:

{
  "name": "druid2",
  "roles": [
    "druidRole"
  ]
}

This API supports the following flags:

• ?full: The response will also include the full information for each role currently assigned to the user.

Example output:

{
  "name": "druid2",
  "roles": [
    {
      "name": "druidRole",
      "permissions": [
        {
          "resourceAction": {
            "resource": {
              "name": "A",
              "type": "DATASOURCE"
            },
            "action": "READ"
          },
          "resourceNamePattern": "A"
        },
        {
          "resourceAction": {
            "resource": {
              "name": "C",
              "type": "CONFIG"
            },
            "action": "WRITE"
          },
          "resourceNamePattern": "C"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

The output format of this API when ?full is specified is deprecated and in later versions will be switched to the output format used when both ?full and ?simplifyPermissions flag is set.

The resourceNamePattern is a compiled version of the resource name regex. It is redundant and complicates the use of this API for clients such as frontends that edit the authorization configuration, as the permission format in this output does not match the format used for adding permissions to a role.

• ?full?simplifyPermissions: When both ?full and ?simplifyPermissions are set, the permissions in the output will contain only a list of resourceAction objects, without the extraneous resourceNamePattern field.

{
  "name": "druid2",
  "roles": [
    {
      "name": "druidRole",
      "users": null,
      "permissions": [
        {
          "resource": {
            "name": "A",
            "type": "DATASOURCE"
          },
          "action": "READ"
        },
        {
          "resource": {
            "name": "C",
            "type": "CONFIG"
          },
          "action": "WRITE"
        }
      ]
    }
  ]
}

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users/{userName}) Create a new user with name {userName}

DELETE(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users/{userName}) Delete the user with name {userName}

Role Creation/Deletion

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/roles) Return a list of all role names.

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/roles/{roleName}) Return name and permissions for the role named {roleName}.

Example output:

{
  "name": "druidRole2",
  "permissions": [
    {
      "resourceAction": {
        "resource": {
          "name": "E",
          "type": "DATASOURCE"
        },
        "action": "WRITE"
      },
      "resourceNamePattern": "E"
    }
  ]
}

The default output format of this API is deprecated and in later versions will be switched to the output format used when the ?simplifyPermissions flag is set. The resourceNamePattern is a compiled version of the resource name regex. It is redundant and complicates the use of this API for clients such as frontends that edit the authorization configuration, as the permission format in this output does not match the format used for adding permissions to a role.

This API supports the following flags:

• ?full: The output will contain an extra users list, containing the users that currently have this role.

"users":["druid"]

• ?simplifyPermissions: The permissions in the output will contain only a list of resourceAction objects, without the extraneous resourceNamePattern field. The users field will be null when ?full is not specified.

Example output:

{
  "name": "druidRole2",
  "users": null,
  "permissions": [
    {
      "resource": {
        "name": "E",
        "type": "DATASOURCE"
      },
      "action": "WRITE"
    }
  ]
}

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/roles/{roleName}) Create a new role with name {roleName}. Content: username string

DELETE(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/roles/{roleName}) Delete the role with name {roleName}.

Role Assignment

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users/{userName}/roles/{roleName}) Assign role {roleName} to user {userName}.

DELETE(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/users/{userName}/roles/{roleName}) Unassign role {roleName} from user {userName}

Permissions

POST(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/db/{authorizerName}/roles/{roleName}/permissions) Set the permissions of {roleName}. This replaces the previous set of permissions on the role.

Content: List of JSON Resource-Action objects, e.g.:

[
{
  "resource": {
    "name": "wiki.*",
    "type": "DATASOURCE"
  },
  "action": "READ"
},
{
  "resource": {
    "name": "wikiticker",
    "type": "DATASOURCE"
  },
  "action": "WRITE"
}
]

The "name" field for resources in the permission definitions are regexes used to match resource names during authorization checks.

Please see Defining permissions for more details.

Cache Load Status

GET(/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization/loadStatus) Return the current load status of the local caches of the authorization database.

Default user accounts

Authenticator

If druid.auth.authenticator.<authenticator-name>.initialAdminPassword is set, a default admin user named "admin" will be created, with the specified initial password. If this configuration is omitted, the "admin" user will not be created.

If druid.auth.authenticator.<authenticator-name>.initialInternalClientPassword is set, a default internal system user named "druid_system" will be created, with the specified initial password. If this configuration is omitted, the "druid_system" user will not be created.

Authorizer

Each Authorizer will always have a default "admin" and "druid_system" user with full privileges.

Defining permissions

There are two action types in Druid: READ and WRITE

There are three resource types in Druid: DATASOURCE, CONFIG, and STATE.

DATASOURCE

Resource names for this type are datasource names. Specifying a datasource permission allows the administrator to grant users access to specific datasources.

CONFIG

There are two possible resource names for the "CONFIG" resource type, "CONFIG" and "security". Granting a user access to CONFIG resources allows them to access the following endpoints.

"CONFIG" resource name covers the following endpoints:

Endpoint	Process Type
/druid/coordinator/v1/config	coordinator
/druid/indexer/v1/worker	overlord
/druid/indexer/v1/worker/history	overlord
/druid/worker/v1/disable	middleManager
/druid/worker/v1/enable	middleManager

"security" resource name covers the following endpoint:

Endpoint	Process Type
/druid-ext/basic-security/authentication	coordinator
/druid-ext/basic-security/authorization	coordinator

STATE

There is only one possible resource name for the "STATE" config resource type, "STATE". Granting a user access to STATE resources allows them to access the following endpoints.

"STATE" resource name covers the following endpoints:

Endpoint	Process Type
/druid/coordinator/v1	coordinator
/druid/coordinator/v1/rules	coordinator
/druid/coordinator/v1/rules/history	coordinator
/druid/coordinator/v1/servers	coordinator
/druid/coordinator/v1/tiers	coordinator
/druid/broker/v1	broker
/druid/v2/candidates	broker
/druid/indexer/v1/leader	overlord
/druid/indexer/v1/isLeader	overlord
/druid/indexer/v1/action	overlord
/druid/indexer/v1/workers	overlord
/druid/indexer/v1/scaling	overlord
/druid/worker/v1/enabled	middleManager
/druid/worker/v1/tasks	middleManager
/druid/worker/v1/task/{taskid}/shutdown	middleManager
/druid/worker/v1/task/{taskid}/log	middleManager
/druid/historical/v1	historical
/druid-internal/v1/segments/	historical
/druid-internal/v1/segments/	peon
/druid-internal/v1/segments/	realtime
/status	all process types

HTTP methods

For information on what HTTP methods are supported on a particular request endpoint, please refer to the API documentation.

GET requires READ permission, while POST and DELETE require WRITE permission.

SQL Permissions

Queries on Druid datasources require DATASOURCE READ permissions for the specified datasource.

Queries on the INFORMATION_SCHEMA tables will return information about datasources that the caller has DATASOURCE READ access to. Other datasources will be omitted.

Queries on the system schema tables require the following permissions:

• segments: Segments will be filtered based on DATASOURCE READ permissions.
• servers: The user requires STATE READ permissions.
• server_segments: The user requires STATE READ permissions and segments will be filtered based on DATASOURCE READ permissions.
• tasks: Tasks will be filtered based on DATASOURCE READ permissions.

Configuration Propagation

To prevent excessive load on the Coordinator, the Authenticator and Authorizer user/role database state is cached on each Druid process.

Each process will periodically poll the Coordinator for the latest database state, controlled by the druid.auth.basic.common.pollingPeriod and druid.auth.basic.common.maxRandomDelay properties.

When a configuration update occurs, the Coordinator can optionally notify each process with the updated database state. This behavior is controlled by the enableCacheNotifications and cacheNotificationTimeout properties on Authenticators and Authorizers.

Note that because of the caching, changes made to the user/role database may not be immediately reflected at each Druid process.
