Allow IPs with TCP Listener using RBAC (Envoy)


I am trying to achieve the following with Envoy:

This is my listener setup.

    - name: listener_postgres
      address:
        socket_address:
          protocol: TCP
          address: 0.0.0.0
          port_value: 54322
      filter_chains:
        filters:
          - name: envoy.filters.network.rbac
            config:
              stat_prefix: rbac_postgres
              rules:
                action: ALLOW
                policies:
                  "allow":
                    permissions:
                      - any: true
                    principals:
                      - source_ip:
                          address_prefix: XX.XX.XX.XX
                          prefix_len: 32
                      - source_ip:
                          address_prefix: XX.XX.XX.XX
                          prefix_len: 32
                      - source_ip:
                          address_prefix: XX.XX.XX.XX
                          prefix_len: 32
          - name: envoy.tcp_proxy
            config:
              stat_prefix: tcp_postgres
              cluster: database_service

I can confirm that the service is setup correctly because I can remove the RBAC rules and I can connect successfully.

When the RBAC rules are added I can not connect to the Postgres database.

But for some reason nothing seems to work, I have also tried remote_ip and direct_remote_ip in place of source_ip.

Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks


Solution

  • It seems that setting the attribute to 'remote_ip' as suggested by Rahul Pratap worked.

    Here is a working example:

        - name: listener_postgres
          address:
            socket_address:
              protocol: TCP
              address: 0.0.0.0
              port_value: 54322
          filter_chains:
            filters:
              - name: envoy.filters.network.rbac
                config:
                  stat_prefix: rbac_postgres
                  rules:
                    action: ALLOW
                    policies:
                      "allow":
                        permissions:
                          - any: true
                        principals:
                          - remote_ip:
                              address_prefix: XX.XX.XX.XX
                              prefix_len: 32
              - name: envoy.tcp_proxy
                config:
                  stat_prefix: tcp_postgres
                  cluster: database_service
