ceph-authtool -- ceph keyring manipulation tool
=================================================
.. program:: ceph-authtool
Synopsis
========
| **ceph-authtool** *keyringfile*
[ -l | --list ]
[ -p | --print-key ]
[ -C | --create-keyring ]
[ -g | --gen-key ]
[ --gen-print-key ]
[ --import-keyring *otherkeyringfile* ]
[ -n | --name *entityname* ]
[ -a | --add-key *base64_key* ]
[ --cap *subsystem* *capability* ]
[ --caps *capfile* ]
[ --mode *mode* ]
Description
===========
**ceph-authtool** is a utility to create, view, and modify a Ceph keyring
file. A keyring file stores one or more Ceph authentication keys and
possibly an associated capability specification. Each key is
associated with an entity name, of the form
``{client,mon,mds,osd}.name``.
**WARNING** Ceph provides authentication and protection against
man-in-the-middle attacks once secret keys are in place. However,
data over the wire is not encrypted, which may include the messages
used to configure said keys. The system is primarily intended to be
used in trusted environments.
Options
=======
.. option:: -l, --list
will list all keys and capabilities present in the keyring
.. option:: -p, --print-key
will print an encoded key for the specified entityname. This is
suitable for the ``mount -o secret=`` argument
.. option:: -C, --create-keyring
will create a new keyring, overwriting any existing keyringfile
.. option:: -g, --gen-key
will generate a new secret key for the specified entityname
.. option:: --gen-print-key
will generate a new secret key for the specified entityname,
without altering the keyringfile, printing the secret to stdout
.. option:: --import-keyring *secondkeyringfile*
will import the content of a given keyring to the keyringfile
.. option:: -n, --name *name*
specify entityname to operate on
.. option:: -a, --add-key *base64_key*
will add an encoded key to the keyring
.. option:: --cap *subsystem* *capability*
will set the capability for given subsystem
.. option:: --caps *capsfile*
will set all of capabilities associated with a given key, for all subsystems
.. option:: --mode *mode*
will set the desired file mode to the keyring e.g: 0644, defaults to 0600
Capabilities
============
The subsystem is the name of a Ceph subsystem: ``mon``, ``mds``, or
``osd``.
The capability is a string describing what the given user is allowed
to do. This takes the form of a comma separated list of allow
clauses with a permission specifier containing one or more of rwx for
read, write, and execute permission. The ``allow *`` grants full
superuser permissions for the given subsystem.
For example::
# can read, write, and execute objects
osd = "allow rwx"
# can access mds server
mds = "allow"
# can modify cluster state (i.e., is a server daemon)
mon = "allow rwx"
A librados user restricted to a single pool might look like::
mon = "allow r"
osd = "allow rw pool foo"
A client using rbd with read access to one pool and read/write access to another::
mon = "allow r"
osd = "allow class-read object_prefix rbd_children, allow pool templates r class-read, allow pool vms rwx"
A client mounting the file system with minimal permissions would need caps like::
mds = "allow"
osd = "allow rw pool data"
mon = "allow r"
OSD Capabilities
================
In general, an osd capability follows the grammar::
osdcap := grant[,grant...]
grant := allow (match capspec | capspec match)
match := [ pool[=]<poolname> | object_prefix <prefix>
| namespace[=]<rados-namespace>
| tag <application-name> <key>=<value> ]
capspec := * | [r][w][x] [class-read] [class-write]
The capspec determines what kind of operations the entity can perform::
r = read access to objects
w = write access to objects
x = can call any class method (same as class-read class-write)
class-read = can call class methods that are reads
class-write = can call class methods that are writes
* or "all" = equivalent to rwx, plus the ability to run osd admin commands,
i.e. ceph osd tell ...
The match criteria restrict a grant based on the pool being accessed.
Grants are additive if the client fulfills the match condition. For
example, if a client has the osd capabilities: "allow r object_prefix
prefix, allow w pool foo, allow x pool bar", then it has rw access to
pool foo, rx access to pool bar, and r access to objects whose
names begin with 'prefix' in any pool.
Caps file format
================
The caps file format consists of zero or more key/value pairs, one per
line. The key and value are separated by an ``=``, and the value must
be quoted (with ``'`` or ``"``) if it contains any whitespace. The key
is the name of the Ceph subsystem (``osd``, ``mds``, ``mon``), and the
value is the capability string (see above).
Example
=======
To create a new keyring containing a key for client.foo with a 0644 file mode::
ceph-authtool -C -n client.foo --gen-key keyring --mode 0644
To associate some capabilities with the key (namely, the ability to
mount a Ceph file system)::
ceph-authtool -n client.foo --cap mds 'allow' --cap osd 'allow rw pool=data' --cap mon 'allow r' keyring
To display the contents of the keyring::
ceph-authtool -l keyring
When mounting a Ceph file system, you can grab the appropriately encoded secret key with::
mount -t ceph serverhost:/ mountpoint -o name=foo,secret=`ceph-authtool -p -n client.foo keyring`
Availability
============
**ceph-authtool** is part of Ceph, a massively scalable, open-source, distributed storage system. Please
refer to the Ceph documentation at https://docs.ceph.com for more
information.
