OPA-PDP high level architecture

image-20241111-044344.png

Phase-1 implementation Details

In Phase-1 the OPA-PDP will be pre-loaded with sample policy, deployment of policy via PAP is not supported.

  • OPA-PDP implements a kafka listener, Publisher to receiving and sending messages to PAP

    • Once OPA-PDP is up it will send “Registration”( PDP_STATUS) message to PAP

    • Some of the information included in the message are:

    • pdpType the type of the PDP opa .

    • pdpGroup to which the PDP should belong to opaGroup defaultGroup

    • state the initial state of the PDP which is PASSIVE.

    • healthy whether the PDP is “HEALTHY” or not.

    • name a name that is unique to the PDP instance for e.g. “opa-f849384c-dd78-4016-a7b5-1c660fb6ee0e”

    • Code Block
      Sample Registration Message 
      {
        "messageName": "PDP_STATUS",
        "pdpType": "opa",
        "state": "PASSIVE",
        "healthy": "HEALTHY",
        "description": "Pdp Status Registration Message",
        "response": null,
        "policies": null,
        "name": "opa-949018d3-cc9b-429b-96ae-46ca9c314e42",
        "requestId": "9fed8880-d023-4004-b6bf-647efd10a7df",
        "pdpGroup": "opaGroupdefaultGroup",
        "pdpSubgroup": null,
        "timestampMs": "1731335546889"
      }
  • On receiving the registration message from a PDP, PAP checks and assigns it to a subgroup under the group. PAP sends PDP_UPDATE message. PAP also sends the pdpHeartbeatIntervalMs which is the time interval in which PDPs should send heartbeats to PAP. Currently (In first phase) OPA-PDP handles only the pdpHeartbeatIntervalMs and starts a timer for sending STATUS messages periodically. OPA-PDP sends PDP_STATUS response to PDP_UPDATE message.

Note

OPA-PDP currently doesn’t handle the policies to be deployed sent in "policiesToBeDeployed" field in PDP_UPDATE

Example PDP_STATUS response

Code Block
{
  "messageName": "PDP_STATUS",
  "pdpType": "opa",
  "state": "PASSIVE",
  "healthy": "HEALTHY",
  "description": "Pdp Status Response Message For Pdp Update",
  "response": {
    "responseTo": "06f6d05f-6045-48d9-bcd8-40364fb695ae",
    "responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
    "responseMessage": "PDP Update was Successful"
  },
  "policies": null,
  "name": "opa-949018d3-cc9b-429b-96ae-46ca9c314e42",
  "requestId": "e6a0607f-5fc8-4d62-afca-3cb984d827a3",
  "pdpGroup": "opaGroupdefaultGroup",
  "pdpSubgroup": "opa",
  "timestampMs": "1731335550030",
  "deploymentInstanceInfo":""
}
Note

In Phase-1, OPA-PDP STATUS message will not include details on predefined policies (policy name and version). It will be assigned to “null”

  • PAP sends PDP_STATE_CHANGE message

...

Code Block
{
  "messageName": "PDP_STATUS",
  "pdpType": "opa",
  "state": "ACTIVE",
  "healthy": "HEALTHY",
  "description": "Pdp Status Response Message to Pdp State Change",
  "response": {
    "responseTo": "3edbb47c-b015-4fd9-9572-26cde97cc23c",
    "responseStatus": "SUCCESS",
    "responseMessage": "PDP State Changed From PASSIVE TO Active"
  },
  "policies": null,
  "name": "opa-949018d3-cc9b-429b-96ae-46ca9c314e42",
  "requestId": "02b186a6-485d-4392-90fa-d4cac34be97a",
  "pdpGroup": "opaGroupdefaultGroup",
  "pdpSubgroup": "opa",
  "timestampMs": "1731335550069"
}

Currently OPA policies are pre-loaded in the docker setup.

  • Decision Requests are REST requests sent from ONAP components. Below is the format of Decision API request.

  • API endpoint :- policy/pdpx/v1/decision. Below is the snippet of Decision Request that will be received in Phase-1 .

    Code Block
    Decision Request 
     {
    	  "OnapNameonapName": "CDS",

    http://0.0.0.0:8282/policy/pdpx/v1/decision

Decision Response will contain following parameters

Code Block
{
  "decision":"PERMIT",
  "statusCodepolicyName":"200action/allow",

  "statusMessage":"Successful",
   "decision":"PERMIT",
   "policyname":"role/allow",
   "errorMessage":"",
   "errorDetails":[""],
   "requestId":"OPA Allowed"
}

Currently OPA-PDP will respond with either PERMIT, DENY or INDETERMINATE values .

The policies and data json are currently mounted as files in docker volume for OPA-PDP.

OPA-PDP will also support health check request. The end point for health check is policy/pdpx/v1/healthcheck
