Implement credsStore in credential config files #1179

matejvasek · 2021-03-15T20:20:17Z

Config file on macOS may contain "credsStore" property indicating what cred store should be used.
This patch checks for its presence and uses it if appropriate.

(Drive-by comment, by no means a review:)

This is not macOS specific
Read support without write support can have surprising behavior
See also add support for default credential store #737 (and Auth configs in registries.conf #971 ).

matejvasek · 2021-03-15T23:27:56Z

@QiWang19 does #971 fixes this?

matejvasek · 2021-03-17T16:59:39Z

@vrothberg do you know whether #971 fixes this?

QiWang19 · 2021-03-17T17:13:43Z

@matejvasek Current #971 plans to embed credential helper configurations into registries.conf. Not the same syntax as credsStore.
There were PRs for this credsStore, but didn't get a chance to be merged. #656

vrothberg · 2021-03-31T14:26:00Z

Would #1193 help?

lkingland · 2021-04-01T09:40:31Z

This seems to be working for me.

Given the following ~/.docker/config.json

{
  "HttpHeaders" : {
    "User-Agent" : "Docker-Client/19.03.12 (darwin)"
  },
  "credsStore" : "desktop",
  "auths" : {
    "https://index.docker.io/v1/" : {

    }
  },
  "experimental" : "enabled",
  "stackOrchestrator" : "swarm"
}

The following program:

package main

import (
        "fmt"
        "github.com/containers/image/v5/pkg/docker/config"
        "log"
)

func main() {
        dauth, err := config.GetAllCredentials(nil)
        if err != nil {
                log.Fatal(err)
        }
        fmt.Printf("dauths: %+v\n", dauth)
}

accesses credentials from the credsStore:

> go run main.go
dauths: map[index.docker.io:{Username:[REDACTED] Password:[REDACTED] IdentityToken:}]

lkingland · 2021-04-01T09:42:34Z

Would #1193 help?

Unfortunately, when trying with #1193, the Username and Password output from the aforementioned program are blank

rhuss · 2021-06-14T18:51:08Z

I have a similar issue, in that config.GetAllCredentials(nil) does not find my real passwords, but returns bogus (possibly stale) passwords. Even when I do a docker logout the passwords are still present.

I'm a bit puzzled as I checked all credentials helpers available (docker-credential-desktop, docker-credential-ecr-login, docker-credential-osxkeychain) and none has the bogus password that containers/images find.

My config.json looks the same:

{
	"auths": {
		"index.docker.io": {},
		"public.ecr.aws": {},
		"quay.io": {}
	},
	"credsStore": "desktop",
	"experimental": "enabled",
	"stackOrchestrator": "swarm"
}%

Any help is highly appreciated.

Unfortunately, when trying with #1193, the Username and Password output from the aforementioned program are blank

#1193 requires the configuration to be present in a registries.conf option named credential-helpers, not in credsStore.

@matejvasek Are you still working on this?

matejvasek · 2021-07-07T12:25:00Z

@rhatdan for now I made a workaround in our SW. I could get back to this if there is no one else willing to work on this. For now my priority is to fix containers/podman#10776.

Thanks.

The implementation looks reasonable reading each operation in isolation, but does this actually work end-to-end?

The user sets $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/containers/auth.json to contain a credsStore; that works fine for a while, but is wiped on a reboot. Not good.
The user sets ~/.docker/config.json to contain a credsStore; that allows reading fine, and survives reboot, but the first modification (SetCredentials/RemoveAuthentication only reads auth.json) only reads …/auth.json, doesn’t see any credsStore entry in there, and happily writes credentials to …/auth.json. That’s not good either.

(Yes, this was already broken with credHelpers; in that case it’s more plausible to argue that the read-only path is good enough because the helper might point at a cloud-specific helper and credentials for that registry are never updated via this package. That’s not the case if this is intended to handle all credentials.

I realize that this is not an issue on macOS, where we don’t have $XDG_RUNTIME_DIR and the configuration is persistent; having a macOS-only feature is somewhat a stretch, having it available and badly broken on Linux is not really acceptable.

[That’s why we have ended up implementing the registries.conf helper configuration.])

@vrothberg PTAL independently, this is tricky and I could well be missing something.

Are those functions properly tested right now anyway? I believe they are not tested with respect to helpers right now.

For instance the mock helper does noting for the store operation so you can really assert it written anything when calling the SetCredentials function.

This is (sadly?) the same as leaving the values unset, in particular it doesn’t disable any ordinary users’ configuration. So if this data matters, it should point at real files.

@mtrmac Do I need to set it? I think that for this test AuthFilePath is enough, isn't it?

I don’t immediately see that this is necessary (the existing GetAllCredentials test got by without), and anyway, AFAIK it doesn’t work; containers/storage/pkg/homedir.Get() caches the value throughout its lifetime, so a single-test override is either completely ineffective, or is effective only if that test happens to run first.

So, to make some of the code testable, we had to introduce getCredentialsWithHomeDir and I suspect something similar would be necessary in other cases that tried to override HOME.

@mtrmac without this the test is failing on my machine because the GetAllCredentials function also returns credentials from my docker config.

I you don't have $HOME/.docker/config.json on your machine it probably works. But for me it's failing.

I don't what to do about this.

The test is touching not only testing config files but also actual user config files, that's not good.

@mtrmac actually this is not just macOS specific, you can use credStore also on Linux (and Windows).

@mtrmac so user has to login after each reboot with podman?

Aren't most objections against credsStore also valid to already implemented credHelpers?
