Support ACLs for controlling VNC access ("Daniel P. Berrange")
This patch introduces a generic internal API for access control lists to be used by network servers in QEMU. It adds support for checking these ACL in the VNC server, in two places. The first ACL is for the SASL authentication mechanism, checking the SASL username. This ACL is called 'vnc.username'. The second is for the TLS authentication mechanism, when x509 client certificates are turned on, checking against the Distinguished Name of the client. This ACL is called 'vnc.x509dname' The internal API provides for an ACL with the following characteristics - A unique name, eg vnc.username, and vnc.x509dname. - A default policy, allow or deny - An ordered series of match rules, with allow or deny policy If none of the match rules apply, then the default policy is used. There is a monitor API to manipulate the ACLs, which I'll describe via examples (qemu) acl show vnc.username policy: allow (qemu) acl policy vnc.username denya acl: policy set to 'deny' (qemu) acl allow vnc.username fred acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl allow vnc.username bob acl: added rule at position 2 (qemu) acl allow vnc.username joe 1 acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl show vnc.username policy: deny 0: allow fred 1: allow joe 2: allow bob (qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname policy: allow (qemu) acl policy vnc.x509dname deny acl: policy set to 'deny' (qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=* acl: added rule at position 1 (qemu) acl allow vnc.x509dname C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob acl: added rule at position 2 (qemu) acl show vnc.x509dname policy: deny 0: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=London,CN=* 1: allow C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob By default the VNC server will not use any ACLs, allowing access to the server if the user successfully authenticates. To enable use of ACLs to restrict user access, the ',acl' flag should be given when starting QEMU. The initial ACL activated will be a 'deny all' policy and should be customized using monitor commands. eg enable SASL auth and ACLs qemu .... -vnc localhost:1,sasl,acl The next patch will provide a way to load a pre-defined ACL when starting up Makefile | 6 + b/acl.c | 185 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ b/acl.h | 74 ++++++++++++++++++++++ configure | 18 +++++ monitor.c | 95 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ qemu-doc.texi | 49 ++++++++++++++ vnc-auth-sasl.c | 16 +++- vnc-auth-sasl.h | 7 ++ vnc-tls.c | 19 +++++ vnc-tls.h | 3 vnc.c | 21 ++++++ vnc.h | 3 12 files changed, 491 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) Signed-off-by: Daniel P.

+@item acl

+Turn on access control lists for checking of the x509 client certificate
+and SASL party. For x509 certs, the ACL check is made against the
+certificate's distinguished name. This is something that looks like
+@code{C=GB,O=ACME,L=Boston,CN=bob}. For SASL party, the ACL check is
+made against the username, which depending on the SASL plugin, may
+include a realm component, eg @code{bob} or @code{bob\@EXAMPLE.COM}.
+When the @option{acl} flag is set, the initial access list will be
+empty, with a @code{deny} policy. Thus no one will be allowed to
+use the VNC server until the ACLs have been loaded. This can be
+achieved using the @code{acl} monitor command.
