Otherwise we risk storing a name with the referral (empty) realm name,
which will then cause various knock-on effects, such as thinking that
the start_realm is "", and failing to find matching credentials in the
ccache.
When the master's log has all entries from version 1 to now, and no
uber entry (legacy master), then new slaves will not pull version 1,
because their uber record has version 1.
The fix is to force the uber version to 0 always, and avoid adding a
truncate nop when doing a full prop. The uber record now records the
database version even in the absence of any other log entries so that
we know what to pull going forward.
- fix int/uint confusion and use unsigned integral types for time
- improve messages
- add --verbose option
- attempt transaction recovery in ipropd-master during idle times
- begin hardening daemons against dying at the slightest provocation
- better recovery from various errors
- daemons now restart automatically in most of the many error cases
where the daemons still die
We used to update the iprop log and HDB in different orders depending on
the kadm5 operation, which then led to various race conditions.
The iprop log now functions as a two-phase commit (with roll forward)
log for HDB changes. The log is auto-truncated, keeping the latest
entries that fit in a configurable maximum number of bytes (defaults to
50MB). See the log-max-size parameter description in krb5.conf(5).
The iprop log format and the protocol remain backwards-compatible with
earlier versions of Heimdal. This is NOT a flag-day; there is NO need
to update all the slaves at once with the master, though it is advisable
in general. Rolling upgrades and downgrades should work.
The sequence of updates is now (with HDB and log open and locked):
a) check that the HDB operation will succeed if attempted,
b) append to iprop log and fsync() it,
c) write to HDB (which should fsync()),
d) mark last log record committed (no fsync in this case).
Every kadm5 write operation recover transactions not yet confirmed as
committed, thus there can be at most one unconfirmed commit on a master
KDC.
Reads via kadm5_get_principal() also attempt to lock the log, and if
successful, recover unconfirmed transactions; readers must have write
access and must win any race to lock the iprop log.
The ipropd-master daemon also attempts to recover unconfirmed
transactions when idle.
The log now starts with a nop record whose payload records the offset of
the logical end of the log: the end of the last confirmed committed
transaction. This is kown as the "uber record". Its purpose is
two-fold: act as the confirmation of committed transactions, and provide
an O(1) method of finding the end of the log (i.e., without having to
traverse the entire log front to back).
Two-phase commit makes all kadm5 writes single-operation atomic
transactions (though some kadm5 operations, such as renames of
principals, and changes to principals' aliases, use multiple low-level
HDB write operations, but still all in one transaction). One can still
hold a lock on the HDB across many operations (e.g., by using the lock
command in a kadmin -l or calling kadm5_lock()) in order to push
multiple transactions in sequence, but this sequence will not be atomic
if the process or host crashes in the middle.
As before, HDB writes which do not go through the kadm5 API are excluded
from all of this, but there should be no such writes.
Lastly, the iprop-log(1) command is enhanced as follows:
- The dump, last-version, truncate, and replay sub-commands now have an
option to not lock the log. This is useful for inspecting a running
system's log file, especially on slave KDCs.
- The dump, last-version, truncate, and replay sub-commands now take an
optional iprop log file positional argument, so that they may be used
to inspect log files other than the running system's
configured/default log file.
Extensive code review and some re-writing for clarity by Viktor Dukhovni.
The following sequence of events results in slave B having a stale HDB:
- slave A connects to master, master dumps HDB for the slave
- kadm5 operations
- slave B connects to master, master sends previously dumped HDB
slave B won't discover any updates until the next transaction.
The fix is simple: the slave should immediately call ihave() after
receiving a complete HDB.
Tests that start daemons have to "wait" for them to start.
This commit makes Heimdal daemons prep to detach (when requested) by
forking early, then having the child signal readiness to the parent when
the child really is ready. The parent exits only which the child is
ready. This means that tests will no longer need to wait for daemons.
However, tests will still need a pidfile or such so they can stop the
daemons.
Note that the --detach options should not be used on OS X from launchd,
only from tests.
We turn on a few extra warnings and fix the fallout that occurs
when building with --enable-developer. Note that we get different
warnings on different machines and so this will be a work in
progress. So far, we have built on NetBSD/amd64 5.99.64 (which
uses gcc 4.5.3) and Ubuntu 10.04.3 LTS (which uses gcc 4.4.3).
Notably, we fixed
1. a lot of missing structure initialisers,
2. unchecked return values for functions that glibc
marks as __attribute__((warn-unused-result)),
3. made minor modifications to slc and asn1_compile
which can generate code which generates warnings,
and
4. a few stragglers here and there.
We turned off the extended warnings for many programs in appl/ as
they are nearing the end of their useful lifetime, e.g. rsh, rcp,
popper, ftp and telnet.
Interestingly, glibc's strncmp() macro needed to be worked around
whereas the function calls did not.
We have not yet tried this on 32 bit platforms, so there will be
a few more warnings when we do.
The ipropd_slave will log its status to /var/heimdal/ipropd-slave-status
if its connecting, up to date, or disconnected.
The master will now also confirm to slaves that are are in fact up to date
if they just restart, before there was no confirmation, the slave just didn't
get any deltas.
The client tries connect every "[libdefault] reconnect-min" seconds,
and for every time it failes, it backs down "[libdefault]
reconnect-backoff" seconds until it reaches "[libdefault]
reconnect-max". On successful connect, the start value is reset to [libdefault] reconnect-min.
There are default values that make sense.
This patch was created by Buck Huppmann 2003, and been nursed along by
Alf Wachsmann until I merged it now.
While here, add IPv6 support.
