ACS is now comprised of a hierarchy of spring application contexts.
Each plugin can contribute configuration files to add to an existing
module or create it's own module.
Additionally, for the mgmt server, ACS custom AOP is no longer used
and instead we use Spring AOP to manage interceptors.
DefaultUserAuthenticator maskes the _name varible in ComponentLifecycleBase
making the setName() method not work as expected. This patch cleans up the
code such that getName() will be getClass().getSimpleName() unless
overridden in the Spring configuration.
Description:
Making SHA256SALT the default encoding algorithm to encode
passwords when creating/updating users.
Introducing a new configurable list to allow admins to
separately configure the order of preference for encoding
and authentication schemes.
Since passwords are now sent by clients as clear text,
fixing the Plain text authenticator to check against the
password passed in rather than its md5 digest.
The authenticators now have an encode function that cloudstack will use to encode the user supplied password before storing it in the database. This makes it easier to add other authenticators with other hashing algorithms. The requires a two step approach to creating the admin account at first start as the authenticators are only present in the management-server component locator.
The SHA256 salted authenticator make use of this new system and adds a hashing algorithm based on SHA256 with a salt. This type of hash is far less susceptible to rainbow table attacks.
To make use of these new features the users password will be sent over the wire just as he typed it and it will be transformed into a hash on the server and compared with the stored password. This means that the hash will not go over the wire anymore.
The default authenticator in components.xml is still set to md5 for backwards compatibility. For new installations the sha256 could be enabled.
