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.

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

In upgrade case, the db.properties file is not changed, but the following commit
would require passphrase for keystore in it, thus result in error(NPE in fact
due to there is no such properity).

Author: Upendra Moturi <upendra.moturi@sungard.com>
Date: Fri Jun 20 11:41:58 2014 +0530
CLOUDSTACK-6847.Link.java and console proxy files have hardcoded value
This commit fix it by put default value for passphrases, also set correct
passphrase if fail-safe keystore is used.
Also when the ssvm is destroyed all the download urls are expired to be cleaned up in the next run by the new ssvm.
(cherry picked from commit ce90837357)
Console was freezing because we read data from socket in blocking mode.
During reboot it was blocking infintely.
To fix issue, now we are reading data in non-blocking mode.
In non-blocking mode I set the timeout to 5 seconds.
This fix is to correct the JP keyboard mapping for VMs with windows and centOS GUI
and CLI OS on VMware hypervisor. Also fixed some known issues on centOS CLI on XS
hypervisor. Fix is not causing any regression.
1. Adding the missing Template/Volume URLs expiration functionality
2. Improvement - While deleting the volume during expiration use rm -rf as vmware now contains directoy
3. Improvement - Use standard Answer so that the error gets logged in case deletion of expiration link didnt work fine.
4. Improvement - In case of domain change, expire the old urls
