  end
  url_for(:authenticator_authenticate, , service_id, authenticator, options).get
end

.host_factory_create_host(token, id, options = {}) ⇒ Host

Use a host factory token to create a new host. Unlike most other methods, this method does not require a Conjur access token. The host factory token is the authentication and authorization to create the host.

The token must be valid. The host id can be a new host, or an existing host. If the host already exists, the server verifies that its layer memberships match the host factory exactly. Then, its API key is rotated and returned with the response.

Parameters:

  • token (String) —

    the host factory token.

  • id (String) —

    the id of a new or existing host.

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    additional host creation options.

  host_id = attributes['roleid'] || attributes['id']

  Host.new(host_id, {}).tap do |host|
    host.attributes = attributes
  end
end

.login(username, password, account: Conjur.configuration.account) ⇒ String

Exchanges a username and a password for an api key. The api key is preferable for storage and use in code, as it can be rotated and has far greater entropy than a user memorizable password.

  • Note that this method works only for Users. While Hosts are roles, they do not have passwords.
  • If you pass an api key to this method instead of a password, it will verify and return the API key.
  • This method uses HTTP Basic Authentication to send the credentials.

Examples:

bob_api_key = Conjur::API.('bob', 'bob_password')
bob_api_key == Conjur::API.('bob', bob_api_key)  # => true

Parameters:

  • username (String) —

    The username or login for the Conjur User.

  • password (String) —

    The password or api key to authenticate with.

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    The organization account.

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the API key.

    the username to use when making authenticated requests.

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    The organization account.

  • remote_ip (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional IP address to be recorded in the audit record.

  • expiration (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional expiration time of the token.

  • cidr (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional CIDR restriction on the token.

Returns:

  • (Conjur::API) —

    an api that will authenticate with the given username.

end

.new_from_key(username, api_key, account: Conjur.configuration.account, remote_ip: nil) ⇒ Conjur::API

Create a new Conjur::API instance from a username and a password or api key.

Examples:

Create an API with valid credentials

api = Conjur::API.new_from_key 'admin', '<admin password>'
api.current_role # => 'conjur:user:admin'
api.token['data'] # => 'admin'

Authentication is lazy

api = Conjur::API.new_from_key 'admin', 'wrongpassword'   # succeeds
api.user 'foo' # raises a 401 error

Parameters:

  • username (String) —

    the username to use when making authenticated requests.

  • api_key (String) —

    the api key or password for username

  • remote_ip (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional IP address to be recorded in the audit record.

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    The organization account.

Returns:

  • (Conjur::API) —

    an api that will authenticate with the given username and api key.

end

.new_from_token(token, remote_ip: nil) ⇒ Conjur::API

Create a new Conjur::API instance from an access token.

Generally, you will have a Conjur identitiy (username and API key), and create an Conjur::API instance for the identity using new_from_key. This method is useful when you are performing authorization checks given a token. For example, a Conjur gateway that requires you to prove that you can 'read' a resource named 'super-secret' might get the token from a request header, create an Conjur::API instance with this method, and use Resource#permitted? to decide whether to accept and forward the request.

Examples:

A simple gatekeeper

RESOURCE_NAME = 'protected-service'

def handle_request request
  token_header = request.header 'X-Conjur-Token'
  token = JSON.parse Base64.b64decode(token_header)

  api = Conjur::API.new_from_token token
  raise Forbidden unless api.resource(RESOURCE_NAME).permitted? 'read'

  proxy_to_service request
end

Parameters:

  • token (Hash) —

    the authentication token as parsed JSON to use when making authenticated requests

  • remote_ip (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional IP address to be recorded in the audit record.

Returns:

  • (Conjur::API) —

    an api that will authenticate with the token

end

.new_from_token_file(token_file, remote_ip: nil) ⇒ Conjur::API

Create a new Conjur::API instance from a file containing a token issued by the Conjur authentication service. The file is read the first time that a token is required. It is also re-read whenever the API decides that the token it already has is getting close to expiration.

This method is useful when an external process, such as a sidecar container, is continuously obtaining fresh tokens and writing them to a known file.

Parameters:

  • token_file (String) —

    the file path containing an authentication token as parsed JSON.

  • remote_ip (String) (defaults to: nil) —

    the optional IP address to be recorded in the audit record.

Returns:

  • (Conjur::API) —

    an api that will authenticate with the tokens provided in the file.

  self.new.init_from_token_file token_file, remote_ip: remote_ip
end

.public_keys(username, account: Conjur.configuration.account) ⇒ String

Fetch all public keys for the user. This method returns a newline delimited String for compatibility with the authorized_keys SSH format.

If the given user does not exist, an empty String will be returned. This is to prevent attackers from determining whether a user exists.

Permissions

You do not need any special permissions to call this method, since public keys are, well, public.

Examples:

puts api.public_keys('jon')
# ssh-rsa [big long string] jon@albert
# ssh-rsa [big long string] jon@conjurops

Parameters:

  • username (String) —

    the unqualified Conjur username

Returns:

  • (String) —

    newline delimited public keys

end

.revoke_host_factory_token(credentials, token) ⇒ Object

Revokes a host factory token. After revocation, the token can no longer be used to create hosts.

Parameters:

  • credentials (Hash) —

    authentication credentials of the current user.

  • token (String) —

    the host factory token.

end

.rotate_api_key(username, password, account: Conjur.configuration.account) ⇒ String

Rotate the currently authenticated user or host API key by generating and returning a new one. The old API key is no longer valid after calling this method. You must have the current API key or password to perform this operation. This method does not affect a user's password.

Parameters:

  • username (String) —

    the name of the user or host whose API key we want to change

  • password (String) —

    the user's current api key

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    The organization account.

Returns:

  • (String) —

  end

  url_for(:authn_rotate_own_api_key, , username, password).put('').body
end

.update_password(username, password, new_password, account: Conjur.configuration.account)

This method returns an undefined value.

Change a user's password. To do this, you must have the user's current password. This does not change or rotate api keys. However, you can use the user's api key as the current password, if the user was not created with a password.

Parameters:

  • username (String) —

    the name of the user whose password we want to change.

  • password (String) —

    the user's current password or api key.

  • new_password (String) —

    the new password for the user.

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    The organization account.

#load_policy(id, policy, account: Conjur.configuration.account, method: POLICY_METHOD_POST) ⇒ Object

Load a policy document into the server.

The modes are support for policy loading:

  • POLICY_METHOD_POST Policy data will be added to the named policy. Deletions are not allowed.
  • POLICY_METHOD_PATCH Policy data can be added to or deleted from the named policy. Deletions are performed by an explicit !delete statement.
  • POLICY_METHOD_PUT The policy completely replaces the name policy. Policy data which is present in the server, but not present in the new policy definition, is deleted.

Parameters:

  • id (String) —

    id of the policy to load.

  • policy (String) —

    YAML-formatted policy definition.

  • account (String) (defaults to: Conjur.configuration.account) —

    Conjur organization account

  • method (Symbol) (defaults to: POLICY_METHOD_POST) —

    Policy load method to use: POLICY_METHOD_POST (default), POLICY_METHOD_PATCH, or POLICY_METHOD_PUT.

#resource(id) ⇒ Conjur::Resource

Note:

The id given to this method must be fully qualified.

Find a resource by its id.

Permissions

The resource must be visible to the current role. This is the case if the current role is the owner of the resource, or has any privilege on it.

Parameters:

  • id (String) —

    a fully qualified resource identifier

Returns:

37
38
 
# File 'lib/conjur/api/resources.rb', line 36

def resource id
  build_object id
end

#resources(options = {}) ⇒ Array<Conjur::Resource>

Find all resources visible to the current role that match the given search criteria.

Full Text Search

Conjur supports full text search over the identifiers and annotation values of resources. For example, if opts[:search] is "pubkeys", any resource with an id containing "pubkeys" or an annotation whose value contains "pubkeys" will match.

Notes

  • Annotation keys are not indexed for full text search.
  • Conjur indexes the content of ids and annotation values by word.
  • Only resources visible to the current role (either owned by that role or having a privilege on it) are returned.
  • If you do not provide :offset or :limit, all records will be returned. For systems with a huge number of resources, you may want to paginate as shown in the example below.
  • If :offset is provided and :limit is not, 10 records starting at :offset will be returned. You may choose an arbitrarily large number for :limit, but the same performance considerations apply as when omitting :offset and :limit.

Examples:

Search for resources annotated with the text "WebService Route"

webservice_routes = api.resources search: "WebService Route"

Restrict the search to 'group' resources

groups = api.resources kind: 'group'

# Correct behavior:
expect(groups.all?{|g| g.kind == 'group'}).to be_true

Get every single resource in a performant way

resources = []
limit = 25
offset = 0
until (batch = api.resources limit: limit, offset: offset).empty?
  offset += batch.length
  resources.concat results
end
# do something with your resources

Parameters:

  • options (Hash) (defaults to: {}) —

    search criteria

Options Hash (options):

  • :search (String) —

    find resources whose ids or annotations contain this string

  • :kind (String) —

    find resources whose kind matches this string

  • :limit (Integer) —

    the maximum number of records to return (Conjur may return fewer)

  • :offset (Integer) —

    offset of the first record to return

  • :count (Boolean) —

    return a count of records instead of the records themselves when set to true

Returns:

#revoke_host_factory_token(token) ⇒ Object

Revokes a host factory token. After revocation, the token can no longer be used to create hosts.

Parameters:

  • token (String) —

    the host factory token.

#role(id) ⇒ Conjur::Role

Return a Role representing a role with the given id. Note that the Role may or may not exist (see Exists#exists?).

Permissions

Because this method returns roles that may or may not exist, it doesn't require any permissions to call it: in fact, it does not perform an HTTP request (except for authentication if necessary).

Examples:

Create and show a role

iggy = api.role 'cat:iggy'
iggy.exists? # true
iggy.members.map(&:member).map(&:id) # => ['conjur:user:admin']
api.current_role.id # => 'conjur:user:admin' # creator role is a member of created role.

No permissions are required to call this method

api.current_role # => "user:no-access"

# current role is only a member of itself, so it can't see other roles.
api.current_role.memberships.count # => 1
admin = api.role 'user:admin' # OK
admin.exists? # => true
admin.members # => RestClient::Forbidden: 403 Forbidden

Parameters:

  • id (String) —

    a fully qualified role identifier

Returns:

def role id
  build_object id, default_class: Role
end

#token ⇒ Hash

The token used to authenticate requests made with the api. The token will be fetched, if possible, when not present or about to expire. Accordingly, this method may raise a RestClient::Unauthorized exception if the credentials are invalid.

Returns:

  • (Hash) —

    the authentication token as a Hash

Raises:

  • (RestClient::Unauthorized) —

    if the username and api key are invalid.

def token
  refresh_token if needs_token_refresh?
  return @token
end

#username ⇒ String

The name of the user as which this api instance is authenticated. This is available whether the api instance was created from credentials or an authentication token. If the instance was created from credentials, we will use that value directly otherwise we will attempt to extract the username from the token (either the old-style data field or the new-style JWT sub field).

Returns:

  • (String) —

    the login of the current user.

def username

end

#variable_values(variable_ids) ⇒ Array<String>

Fetch the values of a list of variables. This operation is more efficient than fetching the values one by one.

This method will fail unless:

  • All of the variables exist
  • You have permission to 'execute' all of the variables

This method is used to implement the conjur env commands. You may consider using that instead to run your program in an environment with the necessary secrets.

Examples:

Fetch multiple variable values

values = variable_values ['myorg:variable:postgres_uri', 'myorg:variable:aws_secret_access_key', 'myorg:variable:aws_access_key_id']
values # =>
{
   "postgres://...",
   "the-secret-key",
   "the-access-key-id"
}

Parameters:

  • variable_ids (Array<String>) —

    list of variable ids to fetch

Returns:

  • (Array<String>) —

    a list of variable values corresponding to the variable ids.

Raises:

  • (RestClient::Forbidden, RestClient::ResourceNotFound) —

    if any of the variables don't exist or aren't accessible.
