This PS implements oslo.policy integration in Deckhand.
The policy.py file implements 2 types of functions for
performing policy enforcement in Deckhand: authorize,
which is a decorator that is used directly around
falcon on_HTTP_VERB methods that raises a 403 immediately
if policy enforcement fails; and conditional_authorize,
to be used inside controller code conditionally.
For example, since Deckhand has two types of documents
with respect to security -- encrypted and cleartext
documents -- policy enforcement is conditioned on the
type of the documents' metadata.storagePolicy.
Included in this PS:
- policy framework implementation
- policy in code and policy documentation for all
Deckhand policies
- modification of functional test script to override
default admin-only policies with custom policy file
dynamically created using lax permissions
- bug fix for filtering out deleted documents (and
its predecessors in previous revisions) for
PUT /revisions/{revision_id}/documents
- policy documentation
- basic unit tests for policy enforcement framework
- allow functional tests to be filtered via regex
Due to the size of this PS, functional tests related to
policy enforcement will be done in a follow up.
