This feature allows root administrators to define new roles and associate API
permissions to them.
A limited form of role-based access control for the CloudStack management server
API is provided through a properties file, commands.properties, embedded in the
WAR distribution. Therefore, customizing API permissions requires unpacking the
distribution and modifying this file consistently on all servers. The old system
also does not permit the specification of additional roles.

https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/CLOUDSTACK/Dynamic+Role+Based+API+Access+Checker+for+CloudStack
DB-Backed Dynamic Role Based API Access Checker for CloudStack brings following
changes, features and use-cases:
- Moves the API access definitions from commands.properties to the mgmt server DB
- Allows defining custom roles (such as a read-only ROOT admin) beyond the
current set of four (4) roles
- All roles will resolve to one of the four known roles types (Admin, Resource
Admin, Domain Admin and User) which maintains this association by requiring
all new defined roles to specify a role type.
- Allows changes to roles and API permissions per role at runtime including additions or
removal of roles and/or modifications of permissions, without the need
of restarting management server(s)
Upgrade/installation notes:
- The feature will be enabled by default for new installations, existing
deployments will continue to use the older static role based api access checker
with an option to enable this feature
- During fresh installation or upgrade, the upgrade paths will add four default
roles based on the four default role types
- For ease of migration, at the time of upgrade commands.properties will be used
to add existing set of permissions to the default roles. cloud.account
will have a new role_id column which will be populated based on default roles
as well
Dynamic-roles migration tool: scripts/util/migrate-dynamicroles.py
- Allows admins to migrate to the dynamic role based checker at a future date
- Performs a harder one-way migrate and update
- Migrates rules from existing commands.properties file into db and deprecates it
- Enables an internal hidden switch to enable dynamic role based checker feature
Deprecate commands.properties
- Fixes apidocs and marvin to be independent of commands.properties usage
- Removes bundling of commands.properties in deb/rpm packaging
- Removes file references across codebase

Added a source column to the user table.
Source now has only two values UNKNOWN,LDAP with UNKNOWN being the
default and is an enum is com.cloud.User.
When the source is UNKNOWN, the old method of authenticating against all
the available authenticators is used. If a source is available, only
that particular authenticator will be used.
added overloaded methods in AccountService to createUserAccount and
createUser with source specified.
Changes;
- Upgrades maven-war plugin to 4.5 (faster war packaging)
- Upgrade spring framework to latest minor release
- Upgrade ehcache, jasypt, httpclient, httpcore and other core dependencies
- Upgrade to latest ipv6 library, fix unit test NetUtilsTest
- httpcore and httpclient are sharing same version variable
- commons-httpclient is different that httpclient, the fix gives it a separate var
- Apidocs failed to generate and get stuck with new reflections version, for now
we will continue using 0.9.8
Newer dependencies can be listed using:
mvn versions:display-dependency-updates -Dnoredist -Dsimulator -P developer,systemvm
Testing;
- Tested using Maven 3.2.1
- Local noredist build with unit tests succeeds
- CloudStack mgmt server started, basic business layer tests work
- Observed 10-15% build time improvement using new maven-war plugin
Branch: bugfix/4.5-8011 (commits are squashed in favour of a linear history)

templatefilter="shared" is used , we see public templates also being
included in the list. This commit reverts listTemplates behavior to 4.3
old logic without using consistent interpretation of list parameters
adopted in new IAM model.
invalid password is provided.
- AccountManager now works using accountId instead of accountType in
following methods too:
- isResourceDomainAdmin()
- isAdmin()
When project/domains are created, our plugin code won't get invoked. Our
contrail plugin uses Event infrastructure provided by cloudstack to
receive these events and handle them accordingly. It is must to create
domains/projects before creating a virtual network/vm object in contrail
implementation. Hence our plugin must need a way to get notified about
project/domain events.
vxlan code. Users can set a physical network to isolation type 'vxlan',
put public traffic on that physical network, and it will still attempt
to use 'vlan' isolation on the KVM hosts. This is going to be an issue
for other isolation types as well, but I'm not familiar with them, so
I'm just fixing vxlan for now.
