+=========================
+ Authentication and ACLs
+=========================
+
+Requests to the RADOS Gateway (RGW) can be either authenticated or
+unauthenticated. RGW assumes unauthenticated requests are sent by an anonymous
+user. RGW supports canned ACLs.
+
+Authentication
+--------------
+Authenticating a request requires including an access key and a Hash-based
+Message Authentication Code (HMAC) in the request before it is sent to the
+RGW server. RGW uses an S3-compatible authentication approach.
+
+::
+
+ HTTP/1.1
+ PUT /buckets/bucket/object.mpeg
+ Host: cname.domain.com
+ Date: Mon, 2 Jan 2012 00:01:01 +0000
+ Content-Encoding: mpeg
+ Content-Length: 9999999
+
+ Authorization: AWS {access-key}:{hash-of-header-and-secret}
+
+In the foregoing example, replace ``{access-key}`` with the value for your access
+key ID followed by a colon (``:``). Replace ``{hash-of-header-and-secret}`` with
+a hash of the header string and the secret corresponding to the access key ID.
+
+To generate the hash of the header string and secret, you must:
+
+#. Get the value of the header string.
+#. Normalize the request header string into canonical form.
+#. Generate an HMAC using a SHA-1 hashing algorithm.
+ See `RFC 2104`_ and `HMAC`_ for details.
+#. Encode the ``hmac`` result as base-64.
+
+To normalize the header into canonical form:
+
+#. Get all fields beginning with ``x-amz-``.
+#. Ensure that the fields are all lowercase.
+#. Sort the fields lexicographically.
+#. Combine multiple instances of the same field name into a
+ single field and separate the field values with a comma.
+#. Replace white space and line breaks in field values with a single space.
+#. Remove white space before and after colons.
+#. Append a new line after each field.
+#. Merge the fields back into the header.
+
+Replace the ``{hash-of-header-and-secret}`` with the base-64 encoded HMAC string.
+
+Authentication against OpenStack Keystone
+-----------------------------------------
+
+In a radosgw instance that is configured with authentication against
+OpenStack Keystone, it is possible to use Keystone as an authoritative
+source for S3 API authentication. To do so, you must set:
+
+* the ``rgw keystone`` configuration options explained in :doc:`../keystone`,
+* ``rgw s3 auth use keystone = true``.
+
+In addition, a user wishing to use the S3 API must obtain an AWS-style
+access key and secret key. They can do so with the ``openstack ec2
+credentials create`` command::
+
+ $ openstack --os-interface public ec2 credentials create
+ +------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | Field | Value |
+ +------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+ | access | c921676aaabbccdeadbeef7e8b0eeb2c |
+ | links | {u'self': u'https://auth.example.com:5000/v3/users/7ecbebaffeabbddeadbeefa23267ccbb24/credentials/OS-EC2/c921676aaabbccdeadbeef7e8b0eeb2c'} |
+ | project_id | 5ed51981aab4679851adeadbeef6ebf7 |
+ | secret | ******************************** |
+ | trust_id | None |
+ | user_id | 7ecbebaffeabbddeadbeefa23267cc24 |
+ +------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
+
+The thus-generated access and secret key can then be used for S3 API
+access to radosgw.
+
+.. note:: Consider that most production radosgw deployments
+ authenticating against OpenStack Keystone are also set up
+ for :doc:`../multitenancy`, for which special
+ considerations apply with respect to S3 signed URLs and
+ public read ACLs.
+
+Access Control Lists (ACLs)
+---------------------------
+
+RGW supports S3-compatible ACL functionality. An ACL is a list of access grants
+that specify which operations a user can perform on a bucket or on an object.
+Each grant has a different meaning when applied to a bucket versus applied to
+an object:
+
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+| Permission | Bucket | Object |
++==================+========================================================+==============================================+
+| ``READ`` | Grantee can list the objects in the bucket. | Grantee can read the object. |
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+| ``WRITE`` | Grantee can write or delete objects in the bucket. | N/A |
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+| ``READ_ACP`` | Grantee can read bucket ACL. | Grantee can read the object ACL. |
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+| ``WRITE_ACP`` | Grantee can write bucket ACL. | Grantee can write to the object ACL. |
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+| ``FULL_CONTROL`` | Grantee has full permissions for object in the bucket. | Grantee can read or write to the object ACL. |
++------------------+--------------------------------------------------------+----------------------------------------------+
+
+Internally, S3 operations are mapped to ACL permissions thus:
+
++---------------------------------------+---------------+
+| Operation | Permission |

+
+Some mappings, (e.g. ``s3:CreateBucket`` to ``WRITE``) are not
+applicable to S3 operation, but are required to allow Swift and S3 to
+access the same resources when things like Swift user ACLs are in
+play. This is one of the many reasons that you should use S3 bucket
+policies rather than S3 ACLs when possible.
