Summary of Changes

Hello, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request introduces robust support for external members within Athenz roles and groups. It provides the necessary data model extensions, API updates, and validation mechanisms to seamlessly integrate external identities, allowing for more flexible and secure access management across different user bases.

Highlights

  • New Principal Types: Introduced ExternalMemberName and PrincipalName RDL types and their corresponding Go and Java definitions, enabling explicit representation of external identities within the system.
  • API Parameter Updates: Updated ZMS and ZTS client and schema definitions to utilize the new PrincipalName type for principal-related API parameters, enhancing type safety and clarity across various access and membership queries.
  • Principal Type Extension: Extended the Principal.Type enum in auth_core to include EXTERNAL(5), allowing the system to categorize external members distinctly for internal processing and logic.
  • External Member Validation: Implemented ExternalEmailMemberValidator for ZMS, providing a configurable mechanism to validate external email addresses, including support for domain restrictions, ensuring only authorized external identities can be added.
  • Core Logic Enhancements: Modified ZMS and ZTS core logic to correctly process, validate, and manage external members in roles and groups, including handling of wildcard patterns in member names and proper application of principal state updates.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Added extensive unit and integration tests across ZMS and ZTS to ensure proper functionality and validation of external member support in various scenarios, including access checks, group/role membership, and state management.

Code Review

This pull request introduces support for external members in Athenz, defining new ExternalMemberName and PrincipalName types across ZMS and ZTS clients and schemas. It updates API endpoints to use these new types, extends the Principal.Type enum, and adds an ExternalEmailMemberValidator. Core logic in ZMS and ZTS is modified to handle external members in roles, groups, access checks, and principal state management. New unit tests validate this functionality. Review comments highlight critical issues in principal parsing logic within JDBCConnection.java and PrincipalUtils.java, and a resource leak in test cleanup for ExternalMemberValidatorManager.
