Change log

All notable changes to this project are documented in this file following the Keep a CHANGELOG conventions. We try to apply FIWARE Versioning with one particular rule: the version must be equal to or greater than the version of the authzforce-ce-rest-api-model dependency (declared in rest-service module's POM). Indeed, this dependency holds the resources of the REST API specification implemented by this project. Therefore, the rule helps relate a specific version of this project to the specific version of the REST API specification that is implemented/supported.

5.4.1

Fixed

  • #22 (OW2): When handling the same XACML Request twice in the same JVM with the root PolicySet using deny-unless-permit algorithm over a Policy returning simple Deny (no status/obligation/advice) and a Policy returning Permit/Deny with obligations/advice, the obligation is duplicated in the final result at the second time this situation occurs.
  • XACML StatusCode XML serialization/marshalling error when Missing Attribute info that is no valid anyURI is returned by PDP in a Indeterminate Result
  • Other issues reported by Codacy

Changed

  • Parent project version: authzforce-ce-parent: 3.4.0
  • Dependency versions: authzforce-ce-core-pap-api: 5.3.0, authzforce-ce-pap-dao-flat-file: 6.1.0
  • Interpretation of XACML Request flag ReturnPolicyId=true, considering a policy "applicable" if and only if the decision is not NotApplicable and if it is not a root policy, the same goes for the enclosing policy. See also the discussion on the xacml-comment mailing list: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xacml-comment/201605/msg00004.html
  • AttributeProvider module API: new environmentProperties parameter in factories, allowing module configurations to use global Environment properties like PARENT_DIR variable
  • New PDP XML configuration (file 'conf/domain.tmpl/pdp.xml'): schema namespace = http://authzforce.github.io/core/xmlns/pdp/5.0 (previous namespace: http://authzforce.github.io/core/xmlns/pdp/3.6).
    • Removed 'functionSet' element
    • Added 'standardEnvAttributeSource' attribute (enum): sets the source for the Standard Current Time Environment Attribute values (current-date, current-time, current-dateTime): PDP_ONLY, REQUEST_ELSE_PDP, REQUEST_ONLY
    • Added 'badRequestStatusDetailLevel' attribute (positive integer) sets the level of detail of the error message in StatusDetail returned in Indeterminate Results in case of bad Requests

Added

  • Upgrader tool now supporting migration from 5.1.x, 5.2.x, 5.3.x, 5.4.x to current (to help deal with PDP XML schema changes, esp. namespace)

5.4.0

Added

Changed

  • REST API model (authzforce-ce-rest-api-model) version: 5.3.1 (only text and FastInfoset-encoded XML are supported, not JSON)

5.3.0

Changed

  • Version of dependency authzforce-ce-pap-dao-flat-file to 6.0.0, causing changes to the REST API URL /domains/{domainId}/pap/pdp.properties regarding IDs of features of type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:request-filter:
    • urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:default-lax changed to urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:request-filter:default-lax;
    • urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:default-strict changed to urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:request-filter:default-strict;
    • urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-strict changed to urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-strict;
    • urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-lax changed to urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-lax.

5.2.0

Added

  • REST API spec (authzforce-ce-rest-api-model) v5.1.0 support: enhanced management of PDP features, i.e. all supported features may be listed, and each feature may have a 'type' and an 'enabled' (true or false) state that can be updated via the API
  • Supported PDP features by type:
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:core (PDP core engine features, as opposed to extensions below): urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:core:xpath-eval (experimental support for XACML AttributeSelector, xpathExpression datatype and xpath-node-count function), urn:ow2:authzforce:feature:pdp:core:strict-attribute-issuer-match (enable strict Attribute Issuer matching, i.e. AttributeDesignators without Issuer only match request Attributes with same AttributeId/Category but without Issuer)
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:data-type: any custom XACML Data type extension
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:function: any custom XACML function extension
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:function-set: any set of custom XACML function extensions
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:combining-algorithm: any custom XACML policy/rule combining algorithm extension
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:request-filter: any custom XACML request filter + native ones, i.e. urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:default-lax (default XACML Core-compliant Individual Decision Request filter), urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:default-strict (like previous one except duplicate in a is not allowed), urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-lax (request filter implenting XACML profile urn:oasis:names:tc:xacml:3.0:profile:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories), urn:ow2:authzforce:xacml:request-filter:multiple:repeated-attribute-categories-strict (like previous one except duplicate in a is not allowed)
    • Type urn:ow2:authzforce:feature-type:pdp:result-filter: any custom XACML Result filter extension
  • Distribution upgrader now supporting all 4.x versions as old versions

5.1.2

Added

  • REST API features (see Changed section for API changes):
    • URL path specific to PDP properties:
      • GET /domains/{domainId}/pap/pdp.properties gives properties of the PDP, including date/time of last modification and active/applicable policies (root policy and policies referenced directly/indirectly from root)
      • PUT /domains/{domainId}/pap/pdp.properties also allows to set PDP's root policy reference and enable PDP implementation-specific features, such as Multiple Decision Profile support (scheme 2.3 - repeated attribute categories)
    • URL path specific to PRP (Policy Repository Point) properties: GET or PUT /domains/{domainId}/pap/prp.properties: set/get properties maxPolicyCount (maximum number of policies), maxVersionCount (maximum number of versions per policy), versionRollingEnabled (enable policy version rolling, i.e. oldest versions auto-removed when the number of versions of a policy is about to exceed maxVersionCount)
    • Special keyword latest usable as version ID pointing to the latest version of a given policy (in addition to XACML version IDs like before), e.g. URL path /domains/{domainId}/pap/policies/P1/latest points to the latest version of the policy P1
    • Fast Infoset support with new data representation type application/fastinfoset (in addition to application/xml) for all API payloads. Requires Authzforce Server to be started in a specific mode using JavaEE Environment Entry spring.profiles.active in Tomcat-specific Authzforce webapp context file (authzforce-ce.xml). Default type remains application/xml (default type is used when a wildcard is received as Accept header value from the client)
    • API caches domains' PDPs and externalIds for performance reasons, but it is now possible to force re-synchronizing this domain cache after any change to the backend domain repository, i.e. reloading domains' PDPs and externalIDs without restarting the webapp or server:
      • GET or HEAD /domains forces re-synchronization of all domains
      • GET or HEAD /domains/{domainId}/properties forces re-synchronization of externalId with domain properties file (properties.xml) in the domain directory
      • GET or HEAD /domains/{domainId}/pap/pdp.properties; or GET or HEAD /domains/{domainId}/pap/policies forces re-synchronization of PDP with configuration file (pdp.xml) and policy files in subfolder policies of the domain directory
      • DELETE /domains/{domainId} forces removal of the domain from cache, and the domain directory if it still exists (removes from cache only if directory already removed)
    • Properties for controlling the size of incoming XML (maxElementDepth, maxChildElements, maxAttributeCount, maxAttributeSize, maxTextLength) corresponding to CXF XML security properties may be configured as JavaEE Environment Entries in Tomcat-specific Authzforce webapp context file (authzforce-ce.xml). Only maxElementDepth and maxChildElements are supported in Fast Infoset mode (due to issue CXF-6848).
  • Completed 100% XACML 3.0 Core Specification compliance with support of Extended Indeterminate values in policy evaluation (XACML 3.0 Core specification, section 7.10-7.14, appendix C: combining algorithms)
  • Distribution upgrader: tool to upgrade from Authzforce 4.2.0

Changed

  • Supported REST API model (authzforce-ce-rest-api-model) upgraded to v5.1.1 with following changes:
    • PDP's root policy reference set via method PUT /domains/{domainId}/pap/pdp.properties (instead of PUT /domains/{domainId}/properties in previous version)
    • URL path /domains/{domainId}/pap/attribute.providers replaces /domains/{domainId}/pap/attributeProviders from previous version, in order to apply better practices of REST API design (case-insensitive URLs) and to be consistent with new API paths pdp.properties and prp.properties (see Added section)
  • Multiple Decision Profile disabled by default after domain creation (enabled by default in previous version)
  • Backend flat-file database (DAO):
    • Format of properties.xml (domain properties): XML namespace changed to http://authzforce.github.io/pap-dao-flat-file/xmlns/properties/3.6 (instead of http://authzforce.github.io/pap-dao-file/xmlns/properties/3.6 in previous version)
    • Format of pdp.xml (PDP): XML schema/namespace of PDP PolicyProvider configuration changed to http://authzforce.github.io/pap-dao-flat-file/xmlns/pdp-ext/3.6 (instead of http://authzforce.github.io/pap-dao-file/xmlns/pdp-ext/3.6 in previous version)
    • Strategy for synchronizing cached domain's PDP and externalId-to-domain mapping with configuration files: no longer using Java WatchService (not adapted to NFS or CIFS shares), but each domain has a specific thread polling files in the domain directory's and checking their lastModifiedTime attribute for change:
      • If a given domain ID is requested and no matching domain in cache, but a matching domain directory is found, the domain is automatically synced to cache and the synchronizing thread created;
      • If the domain's directory found missing by the synchronizing thread, the thread deletes the domain from cache.
      • If any change to properties.xml (domain description, externalId) detected, externalId updated in cache
      • If any change to pdp.xml or the file of any policy used by the PDP, the PDP is reloaded.
  • ZIP distribution format (.zip) changed to tarball format (.tar.gz), more suitable for Unix/Linux environments.

Removed

  • Dependency on commons-io, replaced with Java 7 java.nio.file API for recursive directory copy/deletion

Fixed

  • Github #1: deleted domain ID still returned by GET /domains?externalId=...
  • FIWARE JIRA SEC-870: Debian/Ubuntu package dependencies: java7-jdk replaced with openjdk-7-jdk | oracle-java7-installer
  • Policy versions returned in wrong order by API

4.4.1

Changed

  • Default domain rootPolicyRef no longer has 'Version' specified so that the root policy is always the latest version added via the PAP (by default).

Fixed

  • Hiding file paths from error messages returned by the REST API

4.4.0

Added

  • XACML 3.0: Support for new XACML 3.0 standard string functions: type-from-string and string-from-type where type can be any XACML datatype (boolean, integer, double, time, date, etc.), string-starts-with, string-ends-with, anyURI-ends-with, anyURI-starts-with, string-contains, anyURI-contains, string-substring, anyURI-substring.
  • XACML 3.0: Support new xacml 3.0 standard higher-order bag functions: any-of, all-of, any-of-any, map.
  • XACML 3.0: Suppport for new XACML 3.0 standard date/time functions: dateTime-add-dayTimeDuration, dateTime-add-yearMonthDuration, dateTime-subtract-dayTimeDuration, dateTime-subtract-yearMonthDuration, date-add-yearMonthDuration, date-subtract-yearMonthDuration, dayTimeDuration-one-and-only, dayTimeDuration-bag-size, dayTimeDuration-is-in, dayTimeDuration-bag, yearMonthDuration-one-and-only, yearMonthDuration-bag-size.
  • REST API: Enable/Disable logging of API requests and responses with access info (timestamp, source IP address, requested URL path, requested method, message body...) for audit, debugging, troubleshooting purposes

4.3.0

Added

  • REST API: CRUD operations per policy with versioning at URL path /domains/{id}/pap/policies/{policyId}/{policyVersion}. Each {policyId}/{policyVersion} represents a specific XACML PolicySet Id/Version that can be referenced from the PDP's root PolicySet or from other policies via PolicySetIdReference
  • REST API: Domain property 'externalId' to be set by the client when provisioning/updating a domain (like in SCIM REST API). May be used in query parameter to retrieve a domain resource.
  • REST API: Domain property 'rootPolicyRef' to define the root policy via policy reference to one of the policies managed via URL path /domains/{id}/pap/policies/{policyId}/{policyVersion}.
  • XACML 3.0: Suppport for new xacml 3.0 standard equality functions: string-equal-ignore-case, dayTimeDuration-equal, yearMonthDuration-equal.
  • XACML 3.0: Support for VariableDefinitions/VariableReferences
  • XACML 3.0: support of Indeterminate arguments in boolean functions (and, or, n-of), i.e. the function may evaluate successfully with Indeterminate arguments under certain conditions
    1. OR: If at least 1 True arg, then True regardless of Indeterminate args; else if at least 1 Indeterminate, return Indeterminate; else false.
    2. AND: If at least 1 False arg, then False regardless of Indeterminate args; else if at least 1 Indeterminate, then Indeterminate; else True.
    3. N-OF: similar to OR but checking whether at least N args are True instead of 1, in the remaining arguments; else there is/are n True(s) with n < N; if there are at least (N-n) Indeterminate, return Indeterminate; else return false.
  • Global configuration properties: max number of policies per domain, max number of versions per policy
  • Distribution as WAR

Changed

  • REST API: Base64url-encoded domain IDs, to make URL paths shorter.
  • XML namespaces for REST API data model using public github.io URLs and schema versioning (namespace includes major version and usage of 'version' attribute in root schema element)

Fixed

  • Policy(Set) IDs rejected although valid per definition of xs:anyURI, e.g. if it contained space characters.
  • Error if no subject, action or resource attributes in XACML request

Security

  • Detection of circular references in Policy(Set)IdReferences or VariableReference
  • Configurable max allowed depth of PolicySetIdReference or VariableReference

4.2.0

Added

  • Distribution as Debian package
  • XACML 3.0: Permit-unless-deny policy/rule combining algorithm
  • XACML 3.0: Ordered-deny-overrides policy/rule combining algorithm
  • XACML 3.0: Ordered-permit-overrides policy/rule combining algorithm
  • XACML 3.0: Multiple Decision Profile, scheme 2.3 (repetition of attribute categories)

4.1.0

Changed

  • Initial release in open source
