* internal/providercache: verify that the provider protocol version is
compatible
The public registry includes a list of supported provider protocol
versions for each provider version. This change adds verification of
support and adds a specific error message pointing users to the closest
matching version.
Providers installed from the registry are accompanied by a list of
checksums (the "SHA256SUMS" file), which is cryptographically signed to
allow package authentication. The process of verifying this has multiple
steps:
- First we must verify that the SHA256 hash of the package archive
matches the expected hash. This could be done for local installations
too, in the future.
- Next we ensure that the expected hash returned as part of the registry
API response matches an entry in the checksum list.
- Finally we verify the cryptographic signature of the checksum list,
using the public keys provided by the registry.
Each of these steps is implemented as a separate PackageAuthentication
type. The local archive installation mechanism uses only the archive
checksum authenticator, and the HTTP installation uses all three in the
order given.
The package authentication system now also returns a result value, which
is used by command/init to display the result of the authentication
process.
There are three tiers of signature, each of which is presented
differently to the user:
- Signatures from the embedded HashiCorp public key indicate that the
provider is officially supported by HashiCorp;
- If the signing key is not from HashiCorp, it may have an associated
trust signature, which indicates that the provider is from one of
HashiCorp's trusted partners;
- Otherwise, if the signature is valid, this is a community provider.
The fake installable package meta used a ZIP archive which gave
different checksums between macOS and Linux targets. This commit removes
the target from the contents of this archive, and updates the golden
hash value in the test to match. This test should now pass on both
platforms.
These are some helpers to support unit testing in other packages, allowing
callers to exercise provider installation mechanisms without hitting any
real upstream source or having to prepare local package directories.
MockSource is a Source implementation that just scans over a provided
static list of packages and returns whatever matches.
FakePackageMeta is a shorthand for concisely constructing a
realistic-looking but uninstallable PackageMeta, probably for use with
MockSource.
FakeInstallablePackageMeta is similar to FakePackageMeta but also goes to
the trouble of creating a real temporary archive on local disk so that
the resulting package meta is pointing to something real on disk. This
makes the result more useful to the caller, but in return they get the
responsibility to clean up the temporary file once the test is over.
Nothing is using these yet.
