This is the result of a general audit of how we fork threads, with a
detour into how we're using mutable state especially in websocket
codepaths, making more robust to async exceptions and exceptions
resulting from bugs.
Some highlights:
- use a wrapper around 'immortal' so threads that die due to bugs are
restarted, and log the error
- use 'withAsync' some places
- use bracket a few places where we might break invariants
- log some codepaths that represent bugs
- export UnstructuredLog for ad hoc logging (the alternative is we
continue not logging useful stuff)
I had to timebox this. There are a few TODOs I didn't want to address.
And we'll wait until this is merged to attempt #3705 for
Control.Concurrent.Extended
We upload a set of accumulating timers and counters to track service
time for different types of operations, across several dimensions (e.g.
did we hit the plan cache, was a remote involved, etc.)
Also...
Standardize on DiffTime as a standard duration type, and try to use it
consistently.
See discussion here:
https://github.com/hasura/graphql-engine/pull/3584#pullrequestreview-340679369
It should be possible to overwrite that module so the new threadDelay
sticks per the pattern in #3705 blocked on #3558
Rename the Control.Concurrent.Extended.threadDelay to `sleep` since a
naive use with a literal argument would be very bad!
We catch a bug in 'computeTimeDiff'.
Add convenient 'Read' instances to the time unit utility types. Make
'Second' a newtype to support this.
The connection handler in websocket transport was not using the
'UserAuthentication' interface to resolve user info. Fix resolving
user info in websocket transport to use the common
'UserAuthentication' interface
* fix bug in audience check while verifying JWT
- previously the check was converting the audience type into a string
and then comparing with the conf value. all audience types (as it is a
string or URI) will convert to plain strings
- use the Audience type from the jose library for comparing
* add docs for audience
* add issuer check as well
* docs minor syntax fix
* skip audience check if not given in conf
* minor docs update
* qualify import jose library
Rename the admin secret key header used to access GraphQL engine from X-Hasura-Access-Key to X-Hasura-Admin-Secret.
Server CLI and console all support the older flag but marks it as deprecated.
* remove phase one/two distinction and hdbquery typeclass
* move extensions to default-extensions
* switch to LazyTx which only acquires a connection if needed
* move defns from TH module into Ops module
* remove tojson orphan instance for http exception
* remove orphan instance for dmlp1
* getTopLevelNodes will not throw any exceptions
JWT config now takes an optional jwk_url parameter (which points to published JWK Set). This is useful for providers who rotate their JWK Set.
Optional jwk_url parameter is taken. The published JWK set under that URL should be in standard JWK format (tools.ietf.org/html/rfc7517#section-4.8).
If the response contains an Expires header, the JWK set is automatically refreshed.
The API:
1. HGE has `--jwt-secret` flag or `HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET` env var. The value of which is a JSON.
2. The structure of this JSON is: `{"type": "<standard-JWT-algorithms>", "key": "<the-key>"}`
`type` : Standard JWT algos : `HS256`, `RS256`, `RS512` etc. (see jwt.io).
`key`:
i. Incase of symmetric key, the key as it is.
ii. Incase of asymmetric keys, only the public key, in a PEM encoded string or as a X509 certificate.
3. The claims in the JWT token must contain the following:
i. `x-hasura-default-role` field: default role of that user
ii. `x-hasura-allowed-roles` : A list of allowed roles for the user. The default role is overriden by `x-hasura-role` header.
4. The claims in the JWT token, can have other `x-hasura-*` fields where their values can only be strings.
5. The JWT tokens are sent as `Authorization: Bearer <token>` headers.
---
To test:
1. Generate a shared secret (for HMAC-SHA256) or RSA key pair.
2. Goto https://jwt.io/ , add the keys
3. Edit the claims to have `x-hasura-role` (mandatory) and other `x-hasura-*` fields. Add permissions related to the claims to test permissions.
4. Start HGE with `--jwt-secret` flag or `HASURA_GRAPHQL_JWT_SECRET` env var, which takes a JSON string: `{"type": "HS256", "key": "mylongsharedsecret"}` or `{"type":"RS256", "key": "<PEM-encoded-public-key>"}`
5. Copy the JWT token from jwt.io and use it in the `Authorization: Bearer <token>` header.
