Add UM_SECONDARY_USER_STORE and read it when building tenant realms - #4649
sadilchamishka wants to merge 4 commits into
Conversation
Secondary user store configurations can now be kept in the database instead of as XML files under a tenant's userstores directory. The table belongs here because a product takes its shared database scripts straight from the kernel distribution, so this is the only place a shared database table can be declared. JDBCTenantManager.setSecondaryUserStoreConfig() already scans that directory while building a tenant's realm configuration, which is what makes a file based secondary user store resolvable for a tenant. It now appends the rows of UM_SECONDARY_USER_STORE to the same chain, so a configuration held in the database reaches the realm by the same route. The read is unconditional. A deployment that keeps every configuration on the file system simply has an empty table, and a database that has not been brought up to date yet is skipped at debug level so that tenant loading never fails because of a missing table.

The framework side of this change is wso2/carbon-identity-framework#8361 — it writes the configurations this PR reads, and registers them with the super tenant realm. That PR depends on this one and should merge after it. |

The new config-building helper hardcodes a / path separator that breaks database-backed store loading on Windows, plus minor convention deviations in connection handling and the Informix script.

What changed in this PR
This PR lets a tenant's secondary user store configurations be stored in the shared database instead of only as XML files on disk, which better suits clustered/containerised deployments where nodes are replaceable and share a database. It adds a new UM_SECONDARY_USER_STORE table to all nine kernel database scripts and extends JDBCTenantManager to read those rows while a tenant's realm configuration chain is built, appending them immediately after the existing userstores directory scan. The read is intentionally lenient: an absent table (database not yet migrated) is skipped at debug level so tenant loading never fails. The corresponding writer lives in carbon-identity-framework and is out of scope for this repository.
Changes:
- Add the
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREtable (keyed byUM_ID, unique onUM_DOMAIN_NAME+UM_TENANT_ID) to all nine dialect scripts. - Add
setSecondaryUserStoreConfigFromDatabase()and abuildUserStoreConfiguration()helper toJDBCTenantManagerthat build realm configs from the stored XML and append them to the chain, setting the tenant id explicitly. - Add the
GET_SECONDARY_USER_STORES_SQLquery constant toTenantConstants.

- The path handed to UserStoreConfigXMLProcessor hardcoded a forward slash. The processor splits it on the platform's file separator and requires the last segment to match the domain, reading underscores back as dots, so on Windows the path was never split and every database held store was rejected with a domain name mismatch. Uses File.separator and the same dot to underscore convention the file based path writes with. - The new read opened its connection straight off the datasource while every other access in the class goes through getDBConnection(), which routes via DatabaseUtil and turns autocommit off. It now follows that convention, commits, rolls back through DatabaseUtil on failure and closes through closeAllConnections() in a finally block. - informix.sql created the table without IF NOT EXISTS, unlike the other eight dialects and the KEY_STORE table above it in the same file, so re-running the script against a database that already had the table would fail.

A domain can exist both as a file under the tenant's userstores directory and as a row, which is the state a migration passes through. The directory was read first and the row appended after it, so the realm rejected the later configuration as a duplicate domain and the database held one was discarded with nothing to show for it. Rows whose domain is already on the chain are now skipped, leaving the chain as the file system built it.
setSecondaryUserStoreConfig runs inside getTenant and getTenantRealmConfig, both of which are holding a connection of their own at the time. Taking a second one from the same pool while the first is held lets concurrent tenant loads wait on a connection they can only get once another load finishes, so a bounded pool stalls them. The caller's connection is passed down and the read borrows it. The caller keeps ownership: it commits, rolls back and closes as before, and only the statement and result set are closed here.



Purpose
Secondary user store configurations can only be kept as XML files, under
repository/deployment/server/userstores/for the super tenant andrepository/tenants/<id>/userstores/for every other tenant. That ties the configuration to a node's file system, which does not suit a deployment where nodes are replaceable and share a database.No tracker issue has been raised for this yet.
Goals
Allow a secondary user store configuration to live in the shared database instead of on disk, and make a configuration stored that way reach a tenant's realm by the same route a file does.
Approach
Two parts.
The table.
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREis added to all nine dialect scripts underdistribution/kernel/carbon-home/dbscripts/. It belongs here rather than in a product because a product takes its shared database scripts straight from the kernel distribution —product-iscopiestarget/wso2carbon-core-${carbon.kernel.version}/dbscriptsverbatim in its assembly — so this is the only place a shared database table can be declared.UM_DOMAIN_NAME+UM_TENANT_IDis the real key;UM_IDis a generated identifier kept to match the writer.Reading it.
JDBCTenantManager.setSecondaryUserStoreConfig()already scans a tenant'suserstoresdirectory while the tenant's realm configuration is being built, and that scan — not the deployment engine — is what makes a file based secondary user store resolvable for a tenant. The newsetSecondaryUserStoreConfigFromDatabase()appends the table's rows to the same chain immediately after it, so a configuration held in the database arrives by the identical route. A row carries no tenant of its own the way a file in a tenant directory does, so the tenant id is set on the realm configuration explicitly.The read is unconditional and deliberately lenient: a deployment that keeps every configuration on the file system simply has an empty table, and a database that has not had the new script applied is skipped at debug level, so tenant loading never fails because the table is absent.
User stories
As an administrator of a clustered or containerised deployment, I want a tenant's secondary user stores to be read from the shared database, so that a node joining the cluster serves them without any file being copied onto it.

product-isissue has been raised for this change yet. Worth noting for the reviewer that there is migration impact: see Migrations below.Release note
Secondary user store configurations can now be stored in the shared database, in the new
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREtable, instead of as XML files in each tenant'suserstoresdirectory.Documentation
Not written yet. There is doc impact: the new table has to appear in the shared database schema reference, and the product level switch that selects this repository needs documenting alongside it.

Automation tests
None added.
JDBCTenantManagerhas no existing test class, and the new code is a JDBC read feedingUserStoreConfigXMLProcessor, so a meaningful test needs a seeded database rather than a mock. Happy to add one if the reviewer wants it.None added. Verified manually instead — see Test environment.
Security checks
The stored configuration is the same document that is written to disk today, so the existing secret handling applies unchanged:
UserStoreConfigXMLProcessor.setSecretResolver()is applied to it exactly as it is for a file.Samples

Related PRs
The writer lives in
carbon-identity-frameworkand is the other half of this change; its PR is linked in a comment below. This PR is the dependency — the framework side cannot resolve a tenant's database held user store without it.Migrations (if applicable)
The new table must be created in the shared database before the feature is switched on. Existing deployments are unaffected until then: the table is empty, the directory scan is untouched, and an absent table is skipped.
Configurations already on disk are not migrated by this PR. A deployment that switches over keeps serving them from the file system, so nothing breaks, but they stay on disk. Migration is being handled separately.
Test environment
Verified against a tenant: a user store configuration written to
UM_SECONDARY_USER_STOREfor that tenant is resolvable for user operations after a restart, with no XML file present anywhere. The same tenant's existing file based store continued to work alongside it, and a run with the feature switched off showed the original behaviour intact.Learning
The non-obvious part was that the super tenant and tenants load secondary user stores by two different mechanisms. The super tenant goes through the Carbon deployment engine and
UserStoreConfigurationDeployer, registered for theuserstoresdirectory inMETA-INF/component.xml. A tenant does not —JDBCTenantManager.setSecondaryUserStoreConfig()chains the directory's contents while the realm configuration is built, before any user store manager exists. An OSGi listener on tenant load is not equivalent, because a tenant's Axis2 configuration context is never created on a purely REST driven path, which is how the management and SCIM APIs reach a tenant.
