All keywords registered using a cfg_kw_list now make use of the new error reporting
framework. This allows easier and more precise error reporting without having to
deal with complex buffer allocation issues.
Add generic authentication & authorization support.
Groups are implemented as bitmaps so the count is limited to
sizeof(int)*8 == 32.
Encrypted passwords are supported with libcrypt and crypt(3), so it is
possible to use any method supported by your system. For example modern
Linux/glibc instalations support MD5/SHA-256/SHA-512 and of course classic,
DES-based encryption.
This is a first step towards support of multiple configuration files.
Now readcfgfile() only reads a file in memory and performs very minimal
parsing. The checks are performed afterwards.
There are some configurations in which redirect rules are declared
after use_backend rules. We can also find "block" rules after any
of these ones. The processing sequence is :
- block
- redirect
- use_backend
So as of now we try to detect wrong ordering to warn the user about
a possibly undesired behaviour.
Any module which needs configuration keywords may now dynamically
register a keyword in a given section, and associate it with a
configuration parsing function using cfg_register_keywords() from
a constructor function. This makes the configuration parser more
modular because it is not required anymore to touch cfg_parse.c.
Example :
static int parse_global_blah(char **args, int section_type, struct proxy *curpx,
struct proxy *defpx, char *err, int errlen)
{
printf("parsing blah in global section\n");
return 0;
}
static int parse_listen_blah(char **args, int section_type, struct proxy *curpx,
struct proxy *defpx, char *err, int errlen)
{
printf("parsing blah in listen section\n");
if (*args[1]) {
snprintf(err, errlen, "missing arg for listen_blah!!!");
return -1;
}
return 0;
}
static struct cfg_kw_list cfg_kws = {{ },{
{ CFG_GLOBAL, "blah", parse_global_blah },
{ CFG_LISTEN, "blah", parse_listen_blah },
{ 0, NULL, NULL },
}};
__attribute__((constructor))
static void __module_init(void)
{
cfg_register_keywords(&cfg_kws);
}
This patch adds a possibility to invert most of available options by
introducing the "no" keyword, available as an additional prefix.
If it is found arguments are shifted left and an additional flag (inv)
is set.
It allows to use all options from a current defaults section, except
the selected ones, for example:
-- cut here --
defaults
contimeout 4200
clitimeout 50000
srvtimeout 40000
option contstats
listen stats 1.2.3.4:80
no option contstats
-- cut here --
Currenly inversion works only with the "option" keyword.
The patch also moves last_checks calculation at the end of the readcfgfile()
function and changes "PR_O_FORCE_CLO | PR_O_HTTP_CLOSE" into "PR_O_FORCE_CLO"
in cfg_opts so it is possible to invert forceclose without breaking httpclose
(and vice versa) and to invert tcpsplice in one proxy but to keep a proper
last_checks value when tcpsplice is used in another proxy. Now, the code
checks for PR_O_FORCE_CLO everywhere it checks for PR_O_HTTP_CLOSE.
I also decided to depreciate "redisp" and "redispatch" keywords as it is IMHO
better to use "option redispatch" which can be inverted.
Some useful documentation were added and at the same time I sorted
(alfabetically) all valid options both in the code and the documentation.
As suggested by Markus Elfring, a few "const char *" have replaced
some "char *" declarations where a function is not expected to
modify a value. It does not change the code but it helps detecting
coding errors.
