RBAC (deprecated)

阅读大约需要 5 分钟

Note: The v1alpha1 RBAC policy is deprecated by the v1beta1 Authorization policy. This page is kept for migration purpose and will be removed in Istio 1.6.

Istio RBAC (Role Based Access Control) defines ServiceRole and ServiceRoleBinding objects.

A ServiceRole specification includes a list of rules (permissions). Each rule has the following standard fields:

services: a list of services.
methods: A list of HTTP methods. You can set the value to \* to include all HTTP methods. This field should not be set for TCP services. The policy will be ignored. For gRPC services, only POST is allowed; other methods will result in denying services.
paths: HTTP paths or gRPC methods. Note that gRPC methods should be presented in the form of “/packageName.serviceName/methodName” and are case sensitive.

In addition to the standard fields, operators can also use custom keys in the constraints field, the supported keys are listed in the “constraints and properties” page.

Below is an example of ServiceRole object “product-viewer”, which has “read” (“GET” and “HEAD”) access to “products.svc.cluster.local” service at versions “v1” and “v2”. “path” is not specified, so it applies to any path in the service.

apiVersion: "rbac.istio.io/v1alpha1"
kind: ServiceRole
metadata:
  name: products-viewer
  namespace: default
spec:
  rules:
  - services: ["products.svc.cluster.local"]
    methods: ["GET", "HEAD"]
    constraints:
    - key: "destination.labels[version]"
      values: ["v1", "v2"]

A ServiceRoleBinding specification includes two parts:

The roleRef field that refers to a ServiceRole object in the same namespace.
A list of subjects that are assigned the roles.

In addition to a simple user field, operators can also use custom keys in the properties field, the supported keys are listed in the “constraints and properties” page.

Below is an example of ServiceRoleBinding object “test-binding-products”, which binds two subjects to ServiceRole “product-viewer”:

User “alice@yahoo.com”
Services in “abc” namespace.

apiVersion: "rbac.istio.io/v1alpha1"
kind: ServiceRoleBinding
metadata:
  name: test-binding-products
  namespace: default
spec:
  subjects:
  - user: alice@yahoo.com
  - properties:
      source.namespace: "abc"
  roleRef:
    kind: ServiceRole
    name: "products-viewer"

AccessRule

AccessRule defines a permission to access a list of services.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`services`	`string[]`	A list of service names. Exact match, prefix match, and suffix match are supported for service names. For example, the service name “bookstore.mtv.cluster.local” matches “bookstore.mtv.cluster.local” (exact match), or “bookstore” (prefix match), or “.mtv.cluster.local” (suffix match). If set to [”*”], it refers to all services in the namespace.	Yes
`paths`	`string[]`	Optional. A list of HTTP paths or gRPC methods. gRPC methods must be presented as fully-qualified name in the form of “/packageName.serviceName/methodName” and are case sensitive. Exact match, prefix match, and suffix match are supported. For example, the path “/books/review” matches “/books/review” (exact match), or “/books/” (prefix match), or “/review” (suffix match). If not specified, it matches to any path. This field should not be set for TCP services. The policy will be ignored.	No
`methods`	`string[]`	Optional. A list of HTTP methods (e.g., “GET”, “POST”). If not specified or specified as “*”, it matches to any methods. This field should not be set for TCP services. The policy will be ignored. For gRPC services, only `POST` is allowed; other methods will result in denying services.	No
`constraints`	`Constraint[]`	Optional. Extra constraints in the ServiceRole specification.	No

AccessRule.Constraint

Definition of a custom constraint. The supported keys are listed in the “constraint and properties” page.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`key`	`string`	Key of the constraint.	No
`values`	`string[]`	List of valid values for the constraint. Exact match, prefix match, and suffix match are supported. For example, the value “v1alpha2” matches “v1alpha2” (exact match), or “v1” (prefix match), or “alpha2” (suffix match).	No

RbacConfig

RbacConfig implements the ClusterRbacConfig Custom Resource Definition for controlling Istio RBAC behavior. The ClusterRbacConfig Custom Resource is a singleton where only one ClusterRbacConfig should be created globally in the mesh and the namespace should be the same to other Istio components, which usually is istio-system.

Below is an example of an ClusterRbacConfig resource called istio-rbac-config which enables Istio RBAC for all services in the default namespace.

apiVersion: "rbac.istio.io/v1alpha1"
kind: ClusterRbacConfig
metadata:
  name: default
  namespace: istio-system
spec:
  mode: ON_WITH_INCLUSION
  inclusion:
    namespaces: [ "default" ]

Field	Type	Description	Required
`mode`	`Mode`	Istio RBAC mode.	No
`inclusion`	`Target`	A list of services or namespaces that should be enforced by Istio RBAC policies. Note: This field have effect only when mode is ONWITHINCLUSION and will be ignored for any other modes.	No
`exclusion`	`Target`	A list of services or namespaces that should not be enforced by Istio RBAC policies. Note: This field have effect only when mode is ONWITHEXCLUSION and will be ignored for any other modes.	No

RbacConfig.Mode

Name	Description
`OFF`	Disable Istio RBAC completely, Istio RBAC policies will not be enforced.
`ON`	Enable Istio RBAC for all services and namespaces. Note Istio RBAC is deny-by-default which means all requests will be denied if it’s not allowed by RBAC rules.
`ON_WITH_INCLUSION`	Enable Istio RBAC only for services and namespaces specified in the inclusion field. Any other services and namespaces not in the inclusion field will not be enforced by Istio RBAC policies.
`ON_WITH_EXCLUSION`	Enable Istio RBAC for all services and namespaces except those specified in the exclusion field. Any other services and namespaces not in the exclusion field will be enforced by Istio RBAC policies.

RbacConfig.Target

Target defines a list of services or namespaces.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`services`	`string[]`	A list of services.	No
`namespaces`	`string[]`	A list of namespaces.	No

RoleRef

RoleRef refers to a role object.

Field	Type	Description	Required
`kind`	`string`	The type of the role being referenced. Currently, “ServiceRole” is the only supported value for “kind”.	Yes
`name`	`string`	The name of the ServiceRole object being referenced. The ServiceRole object must be in the same namespace as the ServiceRoleBinding object.	Yes

ServiceRole

ServiceRole specification contains a list of access rules (permissions).

Field	Type	Description	Required
`rules`	`AccessRule[]`	The set of access rules (permissions) that the role has.	Yes

ServiceRoleBinding

ServiceRoleBinding assigns a ServiceRole to a list of subjects.

`user`	`string`	Optional. The user name/ID that the subject represents.	No
`properties`	`map<string, string>`	Optional. The set of properties that identify the subject.	No
