Hi,
We recently faced an issue with radosgw authentication of presigned urls.
The presigned url generated by client to download object fails at radosgw
with http error 403 i.e SignatureDoesNotMatch.
The radosgw computes the signature (*v2 signature in this case*) using the
s3 specification
https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonS3/latest/dev/RESTAuthentication.html. In
this process, a string_to_sign is created by concatenating selected
elements from requests which is then authenticated using hmac to create the
final signature. If this signature matches with the client signature, the
authentication is successful or else it fails with SignatureDoesNotMatch
error. As part of the StringToSign, the CanonicalizedAmzHeaders should only
include headers that start with "x-amz-" and ignore other headers. But in
the radosgw code, there are other meta prefixes that are checked against
the http request headers and if matched are included in the
CanonicalizedAmzHeaders to compute the final signature. For e.g, if a
request header contains "HTTP_X_ACCOUNT" its selected by radosgw to include
in amz_headers but the same will be ignored by AWS SDK as it does not start
with "x-amz-". This will result in different signature computed by client
and radosgw.
Code Snippet: rgw_common.cc
struct str_len meta_prefixes[] = { STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_AMZ"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_GOOG"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_DHO"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_RGW"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_OBJECT"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_CONTAINER"),
STR_LEN_ENTRY("HTTP_X_ACCOUNT"),
{NULL, 0} };
The method init_meta_info() which matches the above prefixes is called from
RGWREST::preprocess() which is invoked for all s3 requests. It will be
helpful to know as to why these prefixes that are not specified by AWS S3
comes in the path of s3 authentication. Was it added for swift use-cases
only? If so, then why its included in rgw_common.cc?
As a proposed fix, we can remove the highlighted meta prefixes that are not
specified by aws from the s3 authentication path signature calculation. Let
me know if you have any queries or solutions.
Regards,
Biswajeet
