Freeze Break Request - fedmsg authz policy

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I found a bug!  The impact of it is that the releng primary arch 'compose'
fedmsg messages were being considered invalid by our consuming services
(ircbot, etc..) but the s390 compose messages were being let through.

First -- here's the patch, then the explanation:

It is just *removing* lines from the host_vars files for rawhide-composer and
branched-composer.  But why?

First, those fedmsg_certs vars are already defined at the group_vars level here:
https://infrastructure.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ansible.git/tree/inventory/group_vars/composers#n29

That more fully-defined and correct statement at the group level was being overwritten
by the less fully defined statements at the host level (see ansible var
precedence rules).  Everything appeared to be working normally while this was
the case because, since no hosts declared that they could send those fedmsg
topics there was no explicit check for who could send them.

It didn't matter until we added the s390 koji hub a week or so ago which is
allowed to broadcast those same topics.  It had its fedmsg_certs correctly
defined, and since it declared that it could send those topics -- and no other
hosts made the same declarations -- the primary compose messages suddenly
started being considered invalid (unauthorized).

By removing these old crufty definitions at the host level and letting the
correct definition at the group level prevail -- all those hosts should show up
correctly in the fedmsg authz policy and things should start working again.

This will require a master playbook run on just the fedmsgdconfig tag to push
out making this a "high touch" change to do during freeze, but I'm quite
certain it is correct.

Can I get two +1s?
