The daemon redacted secret attributes on the joined command string. The
match failed when a value held a space. The match also failed for a "+="
splice assignment. The validate() path did not quote the arguments, so a
multi-word secret value kept its later words in syslog and in the
auditlog table. A password that a command receives through an option or
a positional operand was not redacted at all. The debug dispatch trace
wrote the raw arguments to syslog when site.xcatdebugmode was set.
Redact the argument vector before the daemon joins it. Add
redact_password_args for this task. The routine masks the value of a
secret attribute in any argument, at the start or embedded after another
token. An embedded secret assignment masks to the end of the argument,
because a shell value may hold quotes and spaces. The routine allows
spaces around the operator. It accepts the "=", "+=", ",=", "^=", "!=",
"=~" and "!~" operators that chdef, nodech and node selection use. It
masks a password option value in each form that Getopt::Long accepts: a
separate argument, a compact short option, a bundle of short options
with the "?" help letter, a "+" option prefix, a single-letter option
with two dashes, a long option, a long option with an equals sign, and
an abbreviated long option. The long-name match runs first, so a long
option keeps its name and masks its value. A walk over each bundle then
finds the first secret letter, so the mask always starts at the option
and the result does not depend on hash order. The walk knows which
other letters of a command take a value, so a secret letter inside such
a value does not redact and the audit text stays correct. The walk also
knows which letters take an integer, because the z/VM cpu option
consumes only its signed digits and the parser then continues the
bundle into the password option. The value stops match letter case,
because a bundle keeps short options case sensitive and an unknown
capital letter does not absorb the rest. The mkvm secret match ignores
letter case, because the z/VM parser keeps the Getopt::Long default for
long names. The mkhwconn match keeps letter case, because -p
is the hardware control point and -P is the password. The routine knows
the password options of bmcdiscover, switchdiscover, mkhwconn, mkvm,
createvcluster, lsvcluster and rmvcluster, the rspconfig password
assignments, the mkvm clone pw= operand, and the positional password
operands of chvm. It masks the site.value argument of tabch and chtab
when a selector or a site.key assignment names snmpc. An exact short
option that takes a non-secret value stays visible, so the PPC mkvm -p
profile is not an abbreviation of --password. The dispatch trace builds
its text from the redacted vector.
Add snmpc, productkey, prodkey.key, tokenid and token.tokenid to the
secret list, with community and pdu.community. The secret list holds
only attributes that map to a secret column, so key and sshkeydir stay
visible.
redact_password keeps a second pass over the joined string. This pass
masks an embedded secret assignment to the end of the line, because the
argument boundaries are gone after the join.
The commands.log response classifier marks a response sensitive when the
request was redacted. The argument vector pass sets that signal, so a
secret whose name has no "passw" text still marks its response.
xcatd redacts the request in commands.log but appends the command response
verbatim. A command whose output holds a secret writes it in clear text.
Examples are tabdump passwd, gettab of a passwd column, and getcredentials.
Collect the response into a per-command buffer. Set a sensitive flag when the
command is getcredentials, an argument names a password, or the request was
redacted. When the command finishes, replace the whole buffer if the flag is
set or the buffer still holds password content, then append the buffer. A
connection can carry more than one command, so the buffer is finalized at the
next command's start and at the end of the connection.
The buffer holds the full response, so a secret split across several callbacks
is also redacted. A per-callback check cannot do this.
The word-content check is a fallback. The request classification is the main
signal. A secret with no password marker, such as the output of an xdsh cat of
a shadow file, is a pre-existing leak of the root-only log. It is out of scope.
Recovered from the lenovobuild branch. Reimplemented against master.
Docker container lifecycle management (mgt=docker, mkdocker, rmdocker,
lsdocker) was added in 2015-2016 as an experiment targeting Docker API
v1.22 on Ubuntu only. Documentation and man pages were deliberately
removed in 2019 (PRs #6222 and #6324) with the original developer's
approval, noting that "the interface of Docker has become very simple
right now, so there is no value for xCAT to offer such functions."
The plugin was still being shipped but has had no functional code changes
since April 2016, was never listed as a valid mgt value in Schema.pm,
and no user ever filed an issue about it.
Removed:
- xCAT-server/lib/xcat/plugins/docker.pm (1,142 lines)
- xCAT/postscripts/setupdockerhost
- xCAT-server/share/xcat/scripts/setup-dockerhost-cert.sh
- xCAT-test/autotest/testcase/dockercommand/ (test cases)
- Docker attribute definitions in Schema.pm
- Client symlinks (mkdocker, rmdocker, lsdocker)
- Usage entries and dockerhost cert handling in credentials.pm
- Docker attribute documentation in man7 pages
The "Running xCAT in Docker" documentation (dockerized_xcat/) is
retained as it documents containerizing xCAT itself, not the removed
mgt=docker feature.
Closes#7518
* Fix silent failure when site.master is not set (#6157)
Hardware control commands (rpower, rinv, etc.) silently return no output
and exit 0 when site.master is empty. The original fix (#6074) was
reverted (#6158) because it warned per-node with the wrong hostname.
Check once in plugin_command before dispatching to plugins, so the error
appears exactly once with the correct command name.
* Also reject empty site.master, not only undef
The else branch handles a rare case where XS libraries (Sys::Virt,
Net::SNMP) crash without setting $@. This IS a plugin bug, so keep
that label and the debug hint. Only the common case (die with $@)
gets the clean passthrough.
When a plugin dies during request processing, xcatd wrapped the error
in a misleading "plugin bug" message that hid the real cause (e.g.
"No space left on device"). Now passes through the actual error from
the eval, making the output useful for any failure, not just disk full.
Fixes#2719
This commit adds an early return to xcatconfig settunnables function.
This function set parameters at
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh1
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh2
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/neigh/default/gc_thresh3
And set sysctl attributes by writing to /etc/sysctl.d/ and
/etc/sysctl.conf
These are tunning network parameters for running on production
and should not affect the overall function for testing purposes.

On Debian-based systems, /etc/sysctl.conf doesn't exist and
/etc/sysctl.d/ directory is used instead. Modified xcatconfig
to prefer /etc/sysctl.d/99-xcat.conf when the directory exists,
falling back to /etc/sysctl.conf for backward compatibility.
- detect provisioning when updateing status to installing/netbooting
- consistent message format "xcat.updatestatus - ($node): changing status=($status)" (no need to log the time as syslog has the timestamp)
