The server startup path built its Vault backend config field by field from the
command-line struct, hardcoding VaultAuthMethod::Token and requiring a token.
KmsConfig::from_env(), which already resolved AppRole and token-file auth plus
namespace, TLS and mount settings, was never called outside tests, so those
environment variables were silently dropped whenever RUSTFS_KMS_ENABLE=true and
the documented AppRole / Vault Agent deployments could not start.
Move the assembly into vault_kv2_config_from_env / vault_transit_config_from_env
in the KMS crate and route both from_env() and init.rs through them, with the
command line supplying only the values it owns. One implementation now serves
both entry points, so they cannot drift apart again.
On top of that, add VaultAuthMethod::Kubernetes: the pod's projected
ServiceAccount token is exchanged for a lease-bound Vault token and renewed like
AppRole. The token is re-read on every login because the kubelet rotates it, and
the file mode is deliberately not checked since the kubelet mounts it
world-readable. This removes the Vault Agent sidecar requirement on Kubernetes
and leaves no credential to distribute.
VaultCliOverrides deliberately does not derive Debug: it carries the raw token,
so denying the derive turns a future interpolation into a compile error.
* feat(kms): add AppRole configuration surface for Vault auth
Extend VaultAuthMethod::AppRole with secret_id_file (re-read on every
login so external rotation is picked up), a configurable auth mount
(default "approle"), and an optional fail-closed safety window. All new
fields are serde(default) so previously persisted configurations keep
deserializing, and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts them
as optional.
Environment selection: setting RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_ROLE_ID switches
both Vault backends to AppRole; the secret_id comes from
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID_FILE (path stored, file wins) or
RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_APPROLE_SECRET_ID, following the static secret-key file
precedent. validate() rejects AppRole configs without a role_id, without
any secret_id source, or with an empty mount.
Also append the CredentialsUnavailable error variant used by the
fail-closed credential gate.
* feat(kms): implement AppRole login with background renewal and fail-closed expiry
Implement the AppRoleLogin token source (vaultrs approle login +
renew-self) and wire lease-bound credentials through the provider:
- Each successful login/renewal installs a new client generation in the
ArcSwap; in-flight requests finish on the generation they captured.
- A background renewal task refreshes at half the lease TTL: renewable
tokens are renewed in place, everything else (or a failed renewal)
falls back to a fresh login. Auth exchanges run under the typed retry
policy (OpClass::Auth) and failed cycles retry on a fixed cadence, so
the provider recovers once Vault does.
- Fail-closed: current() refuses to hand out a token inside the
configured safety window of its expiry (default: one attempt timeout),
returning CredentialsUnavailable instead of sending a request whose
token may lapse mid-flight.
- Refreshes are single-flight: concurrent triggers for the same
generation coalesce into one login.
- The renewal task's owner handle lives on the KMS service version:
stop() shuts it down explicitly and reconfigure recycles it via
cancel-on-drop when the old version is discarded.
- The secret_id file is re-read on every login attempt; missing or empty
files fail the attempt without contacting Vault. Crate-owned copies of
tokens and secret_ids are zeroized on drop, and Debug output of every
credential-carrying type stays redacted (leak regression tests).
The renewal machinery is covered by paused-clock tests driving a
scripted token source: renew-at-half-TTL timing, login fallback,
fail-closed window entry and recovery, prompt task recycling, and
coalesced concurrent refreshes.
* feat(kms): add Vault Agent token file authentication
Add the TokenFile source: the token is read from an agent-managed sink
file (RUSTFS_KMS_VAULT_TOKEN_FILE or the TokenFile auth config) and
re-read once per poll interval (default 30s) through the existing
renewal loop, so a token rotated by the agent installs a new client
generation within one poll of the atomic replace. Each successful read
extends the token's observed validity to twice the poll interval; a
file that disappears or turns empty keeps failing the refresh until the
fail-closed window trips, and heals the provider as soon as it is
restored.
Reads are strict and never contact Vault on failure: the file must be
non-empty after trimming, and on Unix group/other permission bits are a
hard error (mirroring the SFTP host-key rule). Rotation detection uses
a content digest; the token itself is never stored on the source and
the crate-owned copy is zeroized.
Configuring the token file together with AppRole or an explicit static
token is rejected as a configuration error. All new config fields are
serde(default) and the strict admin-configure deserializer accepts the
new variant.
Covered by paused-clock tests (atomic replacement installs a new
generation next cycle, deletion fails closed and recovers, prompt task
recycling) plus negatives for missing/empty/over-permissive files and a
Debug leak regression.
* docs(kms): add Vault authentication and credential lifecycle runbook
Cover choosing between static token, AppRole, and Vault Agent token
file auth; AppRole role setup with SecretID delivery and rotation;
Agent sink deployment with the permission requirements; and the
fail-closed window semantics with a troubleshooting table keyed on the
renewal task's log lines.
