The tenant admin from Step 1, should also do Step 2.

How does lbaas do step 2?
It does not have the privilege for that secret/container using the service user.
Should it use the keystone token through which user created LB config and assign read access for the secret/container to the LBaaS service user?

Thanks,

Why not have lbaas do step 2? Even better would be to help with the instance user spec and combined with lbaas doing step 2, you could restrict secret access to just the amphora that need the secret?

Thanks,
Kevin

Hi,
               Is there a way to provide read access to a certain user to all secrets/containers of all project/tenant’s certificates?
               This user with universal “read” privilege’s will be used as a service user by LBaaS plugin to read tenant’s certificates during LB configuration implementation.

               Today’s LBaaS users are following the below mentioned process

1.      tenant’s creator/admin user uploads a certificate info as secrets and container

2.      User then have to create ACLs for the LBaaS service user to access the containers and secrets

3.      User creates LB config with the container reference

4.      LBaaS plugin using the service user will then access container reference provided in LB config and proceeds to implement.

Ideally we would want to avoid step 2 in the process. Instead add a step 5 where the lbaas plugin’s service user checks if the user configuring the LB has read access to the container reference provided.

Thanks,
Vijay V.
