Admission Control¶

Dynamic configuration

Admission Controller supports dynamic configuration via Web API.

Admission Controller¶

An admission controller can be set on each service to control client access.

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http://:8080?admission=127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16

Specify a list of client address matching rules (comma-separated IP or CIDR) via the admission option.

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: ":8080"
  admission: admission-0
  handler:
    type: http
  listener:
    type: tcp
admissions:
- name: admission-0
  matchers:
  - 127.0.0.1
  - 192.168.0.0/16

Use the admission property in the service to use the specified admission controller by referencing the admission controller name.

Blacklist And Whitelist¶

Similar to the bypass, the admission controller can also set the blacklist or whitelist mode, the default is the blacklist mode.

CLIFile (YAML)

gost -L http://:8080?admission=~127.0.0.1,192.168.0.0/16

Set the admission controller to whitelist mode by adding the ~ prefix to the admission option.

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: ":8080"
  admission: admission-0
  handler:
    type: http
  listener:
    type: tcp
admissions:
- name: admission-0
  whitelist: true
  matchers:
  - 127.0.0.1
  - 192.168.0.0/16

Enable blacklist mode in admissions by setting the whitelist property to true.

Admission Control Group¶

Multiple controllers can be used by specifying a list of admission controllers using the admissions option. When any one of the controllers rejects, it means the rejection.

File (YAML)

services:
- name: service-0
  addr: ":8080"
  admissions: 
  - admission-0
  - admission-1
  handler:
    type: http
  listener:
    type: tcp
admissions:
- name: admission-0
  whitelist: true
  matchers:
  - 192.168.0.0/16
  - 127.0.0.1
- name: admission-1
  matchers:
  - 192.168.0.1

Data Source¶

The admission controller can configure multiple data sources, currently supported data sources are: inline, file, redis.

Inline¶

An inline data source means setting the data directly in the configuration file via the matchers property.

admissions:
- name: admission-0
  matchers:
  - 127.0.0.1
  - 192.168.0.0/16

File¶

Specify an external file as the data source. Specify the file path via the file.path property.

admissions:
- name: admission-0
  file:
    path: /path/to/admission/file

The file format is a list of addresses separated by lines, and the part starting with # is the comment information.

# ip or cidr

127.0.0.1
192.168.0.0/16

Redis¶

Specify the redis service as the data source, and the redis data type must be Set.

admissions:
- name: admission-0
  redis:
    addr: 127.0.0.1:6379
    db: 1
    password: 123456
    key: gost:admissions:admission-0

addr (string, required): redis server address.
db (int, default=0): database name.
password (string): password
key (string, default=gost): redis key

Hot Reload¶

File and redis data sources support hot reloading. Enable hot loading by setting the reload property, which specifies the period for synchronizing the data source data.

admissions:
- name: admission-0
  reload: 10s
  file:
    path: /path/to/auth/file
  redis:
    addr: 127.0.0.1:6379
    db: 1
    password: 123456
    key: gost:admissions:admission-0
