[PATCH RFC 0/5] NFSD support for RPC-with-TLS

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

 



Hi-

This is server-side support for RPC-with-TLS, to accompany similar
support in the Linux NFS client. This implementation can support
both the opportunistic use of transport layer security (it will be
used if the client cares to) and the required use of transport
layer security (the server requires the client to use it to access
a particular export).

The kernel patches, along with the the handshake upcall, are carried
in the topic-rpc-with-tls-upcall branch available from:

https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cel/linux.git

The user space componenet of the upcall can be found in the
netlink-v7 branch from:

https://github.com/oracle/ktls-utils

This work includes a man page, tlshd(8), that explains how to set
up certificates for the server to use. Currently, NFS support for
RPC-with-TLS does not implement support for pre-shared keys.

Without any other user space componentry, this implementation will
be able to handle clients that request the use of RPC-with-TLS. To
support security policies that restrict access to exports based on
the client's use of TLS, modifications to exportfs and mountd are
needed. These can be found here:

git://git.linux-nfs.org/projects/cel/nfs-utils.git

They include an update to exports(5) explaining how to use the new
"xprtsec=" export option. I will post these for review under
separate cover.
