And, it does look like read ACLs must be of the form “.r:*”, despite the Ceph docs. With this in place, public read ACL works. I still can’t get write ACLs to work though, and from looking at the code[1] I’m not sure how it’s supposed to work.

Hi all,

Just scratching my head at this for a while and though I’d ask here in case it saves some time. I’m running a Ceph cluster on the Nautilus release and it’s running Swift via the rgw. I have Keystone authentication turned on. Everything works fine in the normal case of creating containers, uploading files, listing containers, etc.

However, I notice that ACLs don’t seem to work. I am not overriding "rgw enforce swift acls”, so it is set to the default of true. I can’t seem to share a container or make it public.

(Side note, confusingly, the Ceph implementation has a different syntax for public read/write containers, ‘*’ as opposed to ‘*:*’ for public write for example.)

Here’s what I’m doing

(as admin)
swift post —write-acl ‘*’ —read-acl ‘*’ public-container
swift stat public-container
                    Account: v1
                  Container: public-container

                   Read ACL: *
                  Write ACL: *

What am I missing? Thanks in advance!
