There is an undocumented part of the cephx authentication framework called the 'auid' (auth uid) that assigns an integer identifier to cephx users and to rados pools and allows you to craft cephx capabilities that apply to those pools. This is leftover infrastructure from an ancient time in which RGW buckets mapped 1:1 to rados pools (pre-argonaut!) and it was expected the cephx capabilities would line up with that. Although in theory parts of the auid infrastructure might work and be in use, it is undocumented, untested, and a messy artifact in the code. I'd like to remove it. *** If you are using auid-based cephx capabilities, now is the time to tell us! Or, if you know of any reason we should keep it around, now is the time to speak up. Otherwise we will remove it! *** Thanks! sage -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe ceph-devel" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
