Bug Description

Keystone uses the [credential]/key_repository configuration option to point to a directory containing Fernet keys used to encrypt and decrypt credentials stored in the credential backend. The default value is /etc/keystone/credential-keys/

This is not configured with Kolla-Ansible. On a Stein deployment, we see periodic ERROR logs associated with it:

2020-02-17 17:00:25.263 30 ERROR keystone.common.fernet_utils [req-386e223e-5f08-4959-bd0b-3dbbfd3b534f 73c7a9a7175e46e9971181963267225b efa5d1ce80324476b4ce189686dda2d1 - default default] Either [None] key_repository does not exist or Keystone does not have sufficient permission to access it: /etc/keystone/credential-keys/

Note from the docs: Fernet keys used to encrypt credentials have no relationship to Fernet keys used to encrypt Fernet tokens. Both sets of keys should be managed separately and require different rotation policies. Do not share this repository with the repository used to manage keys for Fernet tokens.

Pierre, do you know what would be affected by this? Seems like it must be a less frequently used feature otherwise we'd hear about it.

Perhaps it implies our credentials are not encrpyted in the DB? https://docs.openstack.org/keystone/pike/admin/identity-credential-encryption.html

Hi Christopher. This bug has been open for some time, and although it is marked as in progress, I don't think Dincer is working on it (he may correct me). In that case, it will be processed when someone picks it up and works on it. Perhaps you are able to help?

Hi, the issue still persists in Xena. I have to deploy manual scripts based on fernet-rotate.sh with oneliner

keystone-manage --config-file /etc/keystone/keystone.conf credential_rotate --keystone-user keystone --keystone-group keystone

Additionally I've added rsync just like fernet-node-sync.sh and I've modified crontab.

Hello yule sun (syle87),

The error you are seeing is more likely related to the first WARNING log:

2022-09-15 14:47:36.707 23 WARNING stevedore.named [-] Could not load uuid

UUID tokens were removed in Queens. You probably need to update keystone.conf to use

[token]
provider = fernet

instead of:

[token]
provider = uuid

The ERROR logs about credential keys are not fatal.
