OSSN-0003: Keystone configuration should not be world readable¶
Summary¶
In some deployments keystone.conf which contains confidential information, is set to world readable.
Affected Services / Software¶
Keystone, DevStack, Deployment
Discussion¶
It is important that deployers of OpenStack ensure that
keystone.conf is not world readable. In some deployments the
keystone configuration file is readable by all users (and processes)
on the installation system. This file should be set with the most
restrictive permissions that allow the system to continue proper
operations.
In particular, the password configuration of the LDAP section and the
admin_token contain secret information:
[ldap]
url = ldap://localhost
user = dc=Manager,dc=example,dc=com
password = None <- should be secret
suffix = cn=example,cn=com
use_dumb_member = False
allow_subtree_delete = False
dumb_member = cn=dumb,dc=example,dc=com
[DEFAULT]
admin_token = passw0rd <- should be secret
Recommended Actions¶
Ensure that in your deployment keystone.conf uses the most restrictive permissions that allow the system to continue proper operations.
