Add an authorization backend that talks to PAM to check whether the user
identity is allowed. This only uses the PAM account validation facility,
which is essentially just a check to see if the provided username is permitted
access. It doesn't use the authentication or session parts of PAM, since
that's dealt with by the relevant part of QEMU (eg VNC server).
Consider starting QEMU with a VNC server and telling it to use TLS with
x509 client certificates and configuring it to use an PAM to validate
the x509 distinguished name. In this example we're telling it to use PAM
for the QAuthZ impl with a service name of "qemu-vnc"
$ qemu-system-x86_64 \
-object tls-creds-x509,id=tls0,dir=/home/berrange/security/qemutls,\
endpoint=server,verify-peer=yes \
-object authz-pam,id=authz0,service=qemu-vnc \
-vnc :1,tls-creds=tls0,tls-authz=authz0
This requires an /etc/pam/qemu-vnc file to be created with the auth
rules. A very simple file based whitelist can be setup using
$ cat > /etc/pam/qemu-vnc <<EOF
account requisite pam_listfile.so item=user sense=allow file=/etc/qemu/vnc.allow
EOF
The /etc/qemu/vnc.allow file simply contains one username per line. Any
username not in the file is denied. The usernames in this example are
the x509 distinguished name from the client's x509 cert.
$ cat > /etc/qemu/vnc.allow <<EOF
CN=laptop.berrange.com,O=Berrange Home,L=London,ST=London,C=GB
EOF
More interesting would be to configure PAM to use an LDAP backend, so
that the QEMU authorization check data can be centralized instead of
requiring each compute host to have file maintained.
The main limitation with this PAM module is that the rules apply to all
QEMU instances on the host. Setting up different rules per VM, would
require creating a separate PAM service name & config file for every
guest. An alternative approach for the future might be to not pass in
the plain username to PAM, but instead combine the VM name or UUID with
the username. This requires further consideration though.
