The default GC algorithm G1 that is enabled by default with Java11
serves well on multiprocessor machines with large amount of memory where
GC is probablistic with low pauses, where response time is more
important than throughput and GC is kept shorter.
The CloudStack management server is largely a multi-threaded server
application that handles and orchestrates several network requests, and
has the default max. heap size of only 2G that can be considered a
small/medium application from a heap size perspective. Perhaps a more
aggresive GC algorithm such as ParallelGC as used in Java8 and before
(that is previous CloudStack releases) would serve better for throughput
and cause more aggresive GC.

Since Java 9 the notation 'address=port' only applies to localhost.
For remote debug you have to explicitly specify that you want to listen
to all IP addresses (e.g. address=*8000)
* systemd: fix services to allow TLS configurations via java.security.ciphers
This fixes the management server and systemd services to allow the
java.security.ciphers file to configure disabled TLS protocols and
algorithms. This also cleans up systemd service files for agent and
usage server.
This fixes#3140

This cleanups management server default file, the `cloud.jks` is no
longer created by the management server but instead created in-memory
by the root CA plugin on management server startup.

The idea is to create a property in /etc/defaults/cloudstack-management that can be enabled/disabled (uncommented/commented) to control the enabling of Java remote debug in CloudStack's JVM.
- Migrate to embedded Jetty server.
- Improve ServerDaemon implementation.
- Introduce a new server.properties file for easier configuration.
- Have a single /etc/default/cloudstack-management to configure env.
- Reduce shaded jar file, removing unnecessary dependencies.
- Upgrade to Spring 5.x, upgrade several jar dependencies.
- Does not shade and include mysql-connector, used from classpath instead.
- Upgrade and use bountcastle as a separate un-shaded jar dependency.
- Remove tomcat related configuration and files.
- Have both embedded UI assets in uber jar and separate webapp directory.
- Refactor systemd and init scripts, cleanup packaging.
- Made cloudstack-setup-databases faster, using `urandom`.
- Remove unmaintained distro packagings.
- Moves creation and usage of server keystore in CA manager, this
deprecates the need to create/store cloud.jks in conf folder and
the db.cloud.keyStorePassphrase in db.properties file. This also
remove the need of the --keystore-passphrase in the
cloudstack-setup-encryption script.
- GZip contents dynamically in embedded Jetty

This introduces a new certificate authority framework that allows
pluggable CA provider implementations to handle certificate operations
around issuance, revocation and propagation. The framework injects
itself to `NioServer` to handle agent connections securely. The
framework adds assumptions in `NioClient` that a keystore if available
with known name `cloud.jks` will be used for SSL negotiations and
handshake.
This includes a default 'root' CA provider plugin which creates its own
self-signed root certificate authority on first run and uses it for
issuance and provisioning of certificate to CloudStack agents such as
the KVM, CPVM and SSVM agents and also for the management server for
peer clustering.
Additional changes and notes:
- Comma separate list of management server IPs can be set to the 'host'
global setting. Newly provisioned agents (KVM/CPVM/SSVM etc) will get
radomized comma separated list to which they will attempt connection
or reconnection in provided order. This removes need of a TCP LB on
port 8250 (default) of the management server(s).
- All fresh deployment will enforce two-way SSL authentication where
connecting agents will be required to present certificates issued
by the 'root' CA plugin.
- Existing environment on upgrade will continue to use one-way SSL
authentication and connecting agents will not be required to present
certificates.
- A script `keystore-setup` is responsible for initial keystore setup
and CSR generation on the agent/hosts.
- A script `keystore-cert-import` is responsible for import provided
certificate payload to the java keystore file.
- Agent security (keystore, certificates etc) are setup initially using
SSH, and later provisioning is handled via an existing agent connection
using command-answers. The supported clients and agents are limited to
CPVM, SSVM, and KVM agents, and clustered management server (peering).
- Certificate revocation does not revoke an existing agent-mgmt server
connection, however rejects a revoked certificate used during SSL
handshake.
- Older `cloudstackmanagement.keystore` is deprecated and will no longer
be used by mgmt server(s) for SSL negotiations and handshake. New
keystores will be named `cloud.jks`, any additional SSL certificates
should not be imported in it for use with tomcat etc. The `cloud.jks`
keystore is stricly used for agent-server communications.
- Management server keystore are validated and renewed on start up only,
the validity of them are same as the CA certificates.
New APIs:
- listCaProviders: lists all available CA provider plugins
- listCaCertificate: lists the CA certificate(s)
- issueCertificate: issues X509 client certificate with/without a CSR
- provisionCertificate: provisions certificate to a host
- revokeCertificate: revokes a client certificate using its serial
Global settings for the CA framework:
- ca.framework.provider.plugin: The configured CA provider plugin
- ca.framework.cert.keysize: The key size for certificate generation
- ca.framework.cert.signature.algorithm: The certificate signature algorithm
- ca.framework.cert.validity.period: Certificate validity in days
- ca.framework.cert.automatic.renewal: Certificate auto-renewal setting
- ca.framework.background.task.delay: CA background task delay/interval
- ca.framework.cert.expiry.alert.period: Days to check and alert expiring certificates
Global settings for the default 'root' CA provider:
- ca.plugin.root.private.key: (hidden/encrypted) CA private key
- ca.plugin.root.public.key: (hidden/encrypted) CA public key
- ca.plugin.root.ca.certificate: (hidden/encrypted) CA certificate
- ca.plugin.root.issuer.dn: The CA issue distinguished name
- ca.plugin.root.auth.strictness: Are clients required to present certificates
- ca.plugin.root.allow.expired.cert: Are clients with expired certificates allowed
UI changes:
- Button to download/save the CA certificates.
Misc changes:
- Upgrades bountycastle version and uses newer classes
- Refactors SAMLUtil to use new CertUtils
