LSST Vault Utilities

This package is a set of Vault utilities useful for the LSST use case.

LSST Vault Hierarchy

These tools are intended to work with a specific taxonomic hierarchy, detailed below.

Secrets

The primary use case for the LSST vault has been to act as a repository for Kubernetes secrets. Those are organized as follows:

secret/k8s_operator/:instance:

These secrets are typically created and injected at cluster creation time; in the case of the LSP deployment, this is scripted. We use Vault Secrets Operator to automatically manage the translation of vault secrets into Kubernetes secrets.

The secondary, more flexible, use case is to use the LSST vault as a generalized key-value store.

When used in this mode, the LSST vault is organized with secrets under secret as follows:

secret/:subsystem:/:team:/:category:/:instance:

Each of these vault paths, terminating in :instance: is referred to as an enclave in our nomenclature. An enclave has both a read and a write token.

The way an enclave is used is that the user will populate the secret tree under that enclave with the write token, and then use the read token for automated data retrieval. In the case of vault-secrets-operator it is the read key that should be used to populate K8s secrets from the vault secrets.

Note that secrets in an enclave are not accessible to the administrative user that created the enclave, its token pair, and its policies. Those secrets are only accessed through either the enclave's read or its write token.

Usage

Tokens

The first thing to do, with an administrative token, is to create a delegator token which will be the token used to run the Vault token provisioning tools. Use delegator.hcl as the input to create a policy for this. Then create a token with that new delegator policy attached.

Token IDs and accessors are stored under secret/delegated/:subsystem:/:team:/:category:/:instance:/:role:/:type: where role is one of read or write and type is one of id or accessor. These secrets are only accessible to an administrative user (such as the one that created the token pair in the first place, which should be the token attached to the delegator policy created above).

There are two tokens for each enclave, comprising the "token pair". These are read and write.

It is our intention that a runtime system have access to the read token to be able to read (but not update) secrets, and that the administrators of such a system have access to the write token to create, update, and remove secrets.

We previously provided a tool that allowed easy copying of Kubernetes secrets to and from Vault. That tool has now been removed, because vault-secrets-operator is a Kubernetes operator that provides automated synchronization of secrets.

Policies

Policies are stored as delegated/:subsystem:/:team:/:category:/:instance:/:role: where role is one of read or write. The administrative user that creates or revokes the token pair is also responsible for creating and destroying these policies.

Classes

The package name is lsstvaultutils. Its functional classes are:

  1. AdminTool -- this highly LSST-specific class allows you to specify a path under the Vault secret store, and it will generate two tokens (read and write) for manipulating secrets under the path. It stores those under secret/delegated, so that an admin can find (and, if need be, revoke) them later. It also manages revoking those tokens and removing them from the secret/delegated path. Options exist to, if manipulating tokens on a path that already exist, revoke the old tokens and overwrite with new ones, or to remove the secret data at the same time as the tokens are revoked. There is also a function to display the IDs and accessors of the token pair associated with the path.

  2. VaultConfig -- this is another very LSST-specific class which is useful for adding or removing secrets at a given path across multiple vault enclaves.

  3. RecursiveDeleter -- this adds a recursive deletion feature to Vault for removing a whole secret tree at a time.

There is also a TimeFormatter class that exists only to add milliseconds to the debugging logs. There is a convenience function, getLogger, that provides an interface to get a standardized logger for these tools and classes.

Programs

The major functionality of these classes is also exposed as standalone programs.

  1. tokenadmin -- Create or revoke token sets for a given Vault secret path, or display the token IDs and accessors for that path.

  2. multisecret -- Create or remove a secret path across multiple Vault enclaves. This is useful when adding a new feature to a K8s-managed Science Platform application, for instance.

  3. vaultrmrf -- Remove a Vault secret path and everything underneath it. As is implied by the name, this is a fairly dangerous operation.

Example Workflow

We will go through a workflow that exercises tokenadmin and vaultrmrf by creating a token pair, creating some secrets, deleting a secret tree, and finally deleting the token pair.

Create a token pair.

First we'll create a token pair for a hierarchy at dm/test. (Note that we have omitted a level of hierarchy to make the output slightly more readable; dm/square/test would be more realistic.) We ensure that VAULT_ADDR and VAULT_CAPATH are set correctly, and that VAULT_TOKEN is set to an appropriate administrative token. We're going to use debug to get an idea of what's going on during the process, and we will use the display option to print JSON representing the tokens.

I am using a vaultutils virtualenv with the lsstvaultutils package installed, and the vault CLI is on my path.

    "dm/test": {
        "read": {
            "accessor": "1WRccTQEebkqx78t37EyVztK",
            "id": "s.3nyTeqdWiINKIKNtuoIDtD9D"

            "id": "s.4l4eDdLMyD436RsjRqlI11cD"
        }
    }
}

Add some secrets

First, set Vault to use the write token:

export VAULT_TOKEN="s.4l4eDdLMyD436RsjRqlI11cD"

I like JSON output, so I'm going to set:

export VAULT_FORMAT=json

Then use the vault client to add some secrets:

(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv put secret/dm/test/group1/foo value=bar
{
  "request_id": "0a814bd2-e95d-cf1c-9018-c00173668e3d",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
    "created_time": "2019-03-04T21:51:07.616034224Z",
    "deletion_time": "",
    "destroyed": false,
    "version": 1
  },
  "warnings": null
}
(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv put secret/dm/test/group1/baz value=quux
{
  "request_id": "38c65e0d-735d-db9a-c2d6-840bdd4dff65",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
    "created_time": "2019-03-04T21:51:34.991913644Z",
    "deletion_time": "",
    "destroyed": false,
    "version": 1
  },
  "warnings": null
}
(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv put secret/dm/test/group2/king value=fink
{
  "request_id": "12753857-25f2-a27a-3d65-badc18805d07",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
    "created_time": "2019-03-04T21:51:45.645224365Z",
    "deletion_time": "",
    "destroyed": false,
    "version": 1
  },
  "warnings": null
}

Read one back:

(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv get secret/dm/test/group1/baz
{
  "request_id": "03ef8ba1-3eb2-2962-d4c6-ebaf595e3387",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
    "data": {
      "value": "quux"
    },
    "metadata": {
      "created_time": "2019-03-04T21:51:34.991913644Z",
      "deletion_time": "",
      "destroyed": false,
      "version": 1
    }
  },
  "warnings": null
}

Recursively remove a secret tree

Let's say we didn't really want those secrets after all. We can easily remove the tree with the vaultrmrf command and the write token.

(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vaultrmrf --debug dm/test/copy1

Trying to read the secret now will show it's gone:

(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv get secret/dm/test/copy1/foo
No value found at secret/data/dm/test/copy1/foo

Revoke Token Pair and remove data

Now we will clean up:

We go back to an administrative token to revoke our token pair (by setting VAULT_TOKEN to an appropriate value), and while we're at it we will clean up the data we inserted into vault as well.

And now the system is back in the state in which we started.

Verifying token deletion

We can try an operation to see that the tokens have been revoked. Set up the (now-revoked) read token: export VAULT_TOKEN="s.3nyTeqdWiINKIKNtuoIDtD9D". Then try the same read we previously ran again:

(vaultutils) adam@ixitxachitl:~$ vault kv get secret/dm/test/group1/baz
Error making API request.

URL: GET https://35.184.246.111/v1/sys/internal/ui/mounts/secret/dm/test/group1/baz
Code: 403. Errors:

* permission denied

Using multisecret

In this workflow, we will use multisecret to add a secret to a Kubernetes vault-secrets-operator path. We will add it to two enclaves, data-dev.lsst.cloud and nublado.lsst.codes, verify that the secrets were created, and then remove them, also with multisecret.

First we ensure we have lsstvaultutils installed into our active environment (that's what the (lvu) at the front of the prompt tells us) and then we run multisecret --help:

Usage: multisecret [OPTIONS] COMMAND [ARGS]...

  A tool to manipulate secrets in the same relative location across vault
  enclaves.

  --vault-address is a string representing a URL for a Vault implementation,
  e.g. "vault.lsst.codes".  If unspecified, the value of the environment
  variable VAULT_ADDR will be used.  It that isn't specified either, the
  default of "http://localhost:8200" will be used.

  --secret-name is a string representing the name of the secret relative to
  the top of the enclave, e.g. "pull-secret".

  --secret-file is only used with the "add" command.  It is a path to a JSON
  document that specifies the contents of the secret you want to inject, as
  a single object with key-value pairs, each pair being the name of the item
  within the secret and its value.

  --vault-file is a path to a file that contains a JSON document that is a
  list of enclaves (each one being a dict whose only key is the name of the
  top of the vault path for the enclave, and whose values are pair of dicts,
  "read" and "write", each a dict containing two keys, "accessor" and "id",
  whose values are the vault accessor and the vault token for its respective
  context within the enclave).  Not by coincidence, this is the form in
  which the vault document exists in SQuaRE's 1password.

  --omit may be specified multiple times; each time it is specified, it is
  the name of the enclave to skip when updating vaults.  This is helpful,
  for example, to *not* put the SQuaRE docker pull password into third-party
  implementations that rely on vault.lsst.codes.

  --dry-run is a boolean flag; if it is set, no change to the vault will
  actually be made, although the tool will report on the changes it would
  have done.

Options:
  -a, --vault-address TEXT
  -n, --secret-name TEXT    [required]
  -s, --secret-file TEXT
  -v, --vault-file TEXT     [required]
  -o, --omit TEXT
  -x, --dry-run
  --help                    Show this message and exit.

Commands:
  add     Add a secret across enclaves.
  remove  Remove a secret from multiple enclaves.

Let's set up a working directory to hold our configuration and configure vault:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/git/lsstvaultutils$ mkdir -p ~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/git/lsstvaultutils$ cd ~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_ADDR="https://vault.lsst.codes"
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_FORMAT="json"
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$

Armed with this knowledge, we prepare a multi-enclave file. We will call it vault-nb-idf and its contents will look like the following, except with actual keys.

[
  {
	"k8s_operator/nublado.lsst.codes": {
	  "read": {
		"accessor": "[REDACTED]",
		"id": "[REDACTED]"
	  },
	  "write": {
		"accessor": "[REDACTED]",
		"id": "[REDACTED]"
	  }
	}
  },
  {
	"k8s_operator/data-dev.lsst.cloud": {
	  "read": {
		"accessor": "[REDACTED]",
		"id": "[REDACTED]"
	  },
	  "write": {
		"accessor": "[REDACTED]",
		"id": "[REDACTED]"
	  }
	}
  }
]

Next we'll create the payload. testcase.json contains simply:

{ "foo": "bar" }

Let's verify that our new secret (which we will call simply test) does not exist in either enclave yet. I have put the read tokens into other shell variables that are, for obvious reasons, not in this document:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ vault kv list secret/k8s_operator/data-dev.lsst.cloud
[
  "cert-manager",
  "gafaelfawr",
  "log",
  "mobu",
  "nublado",
  "nublado2",
  "postgres",
  "pull-secret",
  "tap"
]
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_TOKEN=${NLC_READ_TOKEN}
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ vault kv list secret/k8s_operator/nublado.lsst.codes
[
  "cert-manager",
  "gafaelfawr",
  "jwt_authorizer",
  "mobu",
  "nublado",
  "postgres",
  "tap"
]

Let's run it with --dry-run first to make sure it looks correct:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ multisecret --vault-address=https://vault.lsst.codes --secret-name test --secret-file testcase.json --vault-file vault-nb-idf.json --dry-run add
Dry run: add secret at https://vault.lsst.codes/k8s_operator/nublado.lsst.codes/test
Dry run: add secret at https://vault.lsst.codes/k8s_operator/data-dev.lsst.cloud/test

Seems right. Repeat without --dry-run.

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ multisecret --vault-address=https://vault.lsst.codes --secret-name test --secret-file testcase.json --vault-file vault-nb-idf.json add
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$

Verify that the secrets were made:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_TOKEN=${DLC_READ_TOKEN}
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ vault kv get secret/k8s_operator/data-dev.lsst.cloud/test
{
  "request_id": "bb53344a-31e9-81d3-32c2-5f2f895d7554",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
	"data": {
	  "foo": "bar"
	},
	"metadata": {
	  "created_time": "2020-12-10T19:18:58.345274962Z",
	  "deletion_time": "",
	  "destroyed": false,
	  "version": 1
	}
  },
  "warnings": null
}
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_TOKEN=${NLC_READ_TOKEN}
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ vault kv get secret/k8s_operator/nublado.lsst.codes/test
{
  "request_id": "5f69665d-e8ca-f9a3-aa69-5fe12c1784c0",
  "lease_id": "",
  "lease_duration": 0,
  "renewable": false,
  "data": {
	"data": {
	  "foo": "bar"
	},
	"metadata": {
	  "created_time": "2020-12-10T19:18:57.631480686Z",
	  "deletion_time": "",
	  "destroyed": false,
	  "version": 1
	}
  },
  "warnings": null
}

And now destroy them:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ multisecret --vault-address=https://vault.lsst.codes --secret-name test --vault-file vault-nb-idf.json remove
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$

And verify they no longer exist:

(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ export VAULT_TOKEN=${DLC_READ_TOKEN}
(lvu) adam@air-wired:~/Documents/src/vault-doc-test$ vault kv get secret/k8s_operator/data-dev.lsst.cloud/test
