HMAC

hmac is a tool to update the HMAC token, GitHub webhooks and HMAC secret for the orgs/repos as per the managed_webhooks configuration changes in the Prow config file.

Prerequisites

To run this tool, you'll need:

  1. A github account that has admin permission to the orgs/repos.

  2. A personal access token for the github account. Note the token must be granted admin:repo_hook and admin:org_hook scopes.

  3. Permissions to read&write the hmac secret in the Prow cluster.

How to run this tool

There are two ways to run this tool:

  1. Run it on local:
bazel run //prow/cmd/hmac -- \
  --config-path=/path/to/prow/config \
  --github-token-path=/path/to/oauth/secret \
  --kubeconfig=/path/to/kubeconfig \
  --kubeconfig-context=[context of the cluster to connect] \
  --hmac-token-secret-name=[hmac secret name in Prow cluster] \
  --hmac-token-key=[key of the hmac tokens in the secret] \
  --hook-url http://an.ip.addr.ess/hook \
  --dryrun=true  # Remove it to actually update hmac tokens and webhooks
  1. Run it as a Prow job:

The recommended way to run this tool would be running it as a postsubmit job. One example Prow job configured for k8s Prow can be found here.

How it works

Given a new managed_webhooks configuration in the Prow core config file, the tool can reconcile the current state of HMAC tokens, secrets and webhooks to meet the new configuration.

Configuration example

Below is a typical example for the managed_webhooks configuration:

managed_webhooks:
  # Whether this tool should respect the legacy global token.
  # This has to be true if any of the managed repo/org is using the legacy global token that is manually created.   
  respect_legacy_global_token: true
  # Config for orgs and repos that have been onboarded to this Prow instance.  
  org_repo_config:
    qux:
      token_created_after: 2017-10-02T15:00:00Z
    foo/bar:
      token_created_after: 2018-10-02T15:00:00Z
    foo/baz:
      token_created_after: 2019-10-02T15:00:00Z

Workflow example

Suppose the current org_repo_config in the managed_webhooks configuration is

qux:
  token_created_after: 2017-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/bar:
  token_created_after: 2018-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/baz:
  token_created_after: 2019-10-02T15:00:00Z

There can be 3 scenarios to modify the configuration, as explained below:

Rotate an existing HMAC token

User updates the token_created_after for foo/baz to a later time, as shown below:

qux:
  token_created_after: 2017-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/bar:
  token_created_after: 2018-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/baz:
  token_created_after: 2020-03-02T15:00:00Z

The hmac tool will generate a new HMAC token for the foo/baz repo, add the new token to the secret, and update the webhook for the repo. And after the update finishes, it will delete the old token.

Onboard a new repo

User adds a new repo foo/bax in the managed_webhooks configuration, as shown below:

qux:
  token_created_after: 2017-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/bar:
  token_created_after: 2018-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/baz:
  token_created_after: 2019-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/bax:
  token_created_after: 2020-03-02T15:00:00Z

The hmac tool will generate an HMAC token for the foo/bax repo, add the token to the secret, and add the webhook for the repo.

Remove an existing repo

User deletes the repo foo/baz from the managed_webhooks configuration, as shown below:

qux:
  token_created_after: 2017-10-02T15:00:00Z
foo/bar:
  token_created_after: 2018-10-02T15:00:00Z

The hmac tool will delete the HMAC token for the foo/baz repo from the secret, and delete the corresponding webhook for this repo.

Note the 3 types of config changes can happen together, and hmac tool is able to handle all the changes in one single run.
