Summary

  • Add AlibabaCloudIdProvider and factory mapping for alicloud.
  • Sign an Alibaba STS GetCallerIdentity request without sending it, using env credentials or an ECS RAM role.
  • Encode the same AWS-style cloud-id payload (sts_request_method, sts_request_url, sts_request_body, sts_request_headers).
  • Resolve region from ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION_ID, ALIBABA_CLOUD_REGION, or REGION_ID, falling back to cn-hangzhou.

Test plan

  • mvn test includes factory dispatch and offline Alibaba signing tests
  • On Alibaba ECS/ACK with a RAM role, alicloud returns a valid cloud ID without hardcoded keys

Made with Cursor

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The PR adds Alibaba Cloud identity support. It resolves credentials and regions, signs STS GetCallerIdentity requests, supports ECS RAM-role metadata, updates factory dispatch, and adds tests and documentation.

Changes

Alibaba Cloud identity support

Layer / File(s) Summary
STS request signing
src/main/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/AlibabaCloudIdProvider.java, src/test/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/AlibabaCloudIdProviderTest.java
The provider builds signed GetCallerIdentity requests, applies percent encoding, and returns encoded identity data. Tests cover signing, headers, tokens, and payload decoding.
Credential and region resolution
src/main/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/AlibabaCloudIdProvider.java, src/test/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/AlibabaCloudIdProviderTest.java
The provider reads environment credentials, falls back to ECS RAM-role metadata, supports IMDSv2 and controlled IMDSv1 fallback, validates responses, and preserves response bytes.
Factory wiring and integration validation
src/main/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/CloudProviderFactory.java, src/test/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/CloudProviderFactoryTest.java, src/test/java/io/akeyless/cloudid/LiveCloudIdE2ETest.java, README.md
The factory maps alicloud to AlibabaCloudIdProvider. Tests, the live integration test, and the README use the updated provider name.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 0e840

This adds Alibaba Cloud identity generation and factory support, with metadata-response handling and offline signing coverage. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains.

A rabbit checks the cloud at night
Signed requests hop in moonlit flight

Review summary

Full independent review: isolated clone, full test suite (22 pass / 1 skipped live-e2e, 3x flakiness check clean), CI green (3/3 checks), CodeRabbit ledger verified, and the Alibaba STS signing cross-checked against the akeyless-go-cloud-id PR #22 baseline (RPC-style canonicalized query, double percent-encoding, HMAC-SHA1, query-only POST with empty body). Change is purely additive (new alibaba.js module + one new dispatch branch in cloudid.js); no existing provider path (aws_iam/azure_ad/gcp/access_key) is touched — no BC-break risk.

Signing implementation matches the Go baseline: sorted RPC query params, HMAC-SHA1 with secret + '&', requestUrl built as query-only https://sts.aliyuncs.com/?... with sts_request_body empty — same shape empirically verified against the real STS endpoint for the Go port.

⚠️ Important improvement (please fix before merge)

  • alibaba.js:143-166 (metadataRequest) — the response IncomingMessage (res) has no error listener. If the ECS metadata HTTP response stream errors or closes mid-transfer, the returned promise can hang or Node can raise an unhandled error event and crash the process. This was flagged by CodeRabbit and is still unaddressed. Fix: add res.on('error', reject) and reject on a close before end fires (guard so the promise settles exactly once), and add a mock test case for both.

🤖 CodeRabbit ledger

  1. IMDSv2 support for ECS RAM-role credentials (alibaba.js) — Valid, already fixed (commit ee91bae); current code implements PUT /latest/api/token + X-aliyun-ecs-metadata-token on both metadata GETs with IMDSv1 fallback. No action needed.
  2. metadataRequest unhandled stream error/incomplete close (alibaba.js:150-151) — Valid, still open — see Important improvement above.
  3. cloudid.js:21 "accept ali_cloud per PR objective" — Invalid. Org-wide check (akeylesslabs/akeyless-main-repoclient/config/profile.go: ALICLOUD AccessType = "alicloud", CLI usage strings across auth.go/configure.go, gateway docs) confirms "alicloud" (no underscore) is the canonical access-type string used everywhere in the ecosystem, matching this PR and the PR's own description (getCloudId("alicloud")). CodeRabbit's premise about an ali_cloud objective doesn't match the actual convention — no change needed.
  4. Outside-diff comment: add alicloud to the getCloudId JSDoc acc_type list (cloudid.js:10) — Already resolved, current JSDoc lists aws_iam, azure_ad, gcp, alicloud, access_key.

💡 Suggestions (non-blocking)

  • alibaba.js alibabaQueryEscape/buildAlibabaRpcStringToSign: the per-param encoder doesn't map *%2A (only the outer string-to-sign pass does), and the +%20 round-trip before the second encoding pass is a slightly indirect way to get double-encoding right. It produces byte-identical output to the documented Alibaba RPC signing spec for every value this code actually signs (hex nonce, ISO timestamp, fixed enum strings, access key/security token), so it's not a functional bug today — but it's fragile if a future param could contain *, +, or ~. Consider consolidating into one well-tested percentEncode helper.
  • cloudid.e2e.test.js:10 doc comment for AKEYLESS_CLOUD_ID_E2E_TYPE doesn't list alicloud as an option — minor doc gap, e2e file only.

Test/CI status: node --test 22/22 pass (1 e2e skipped, expected offline), re-run 3x with no flakiness; both GitHub "JS Tests" checks and CodeRabbit status are green.

Treat truncated or errored metadata streams as failures, keep response newlines so the first RAM role is used, and encode STS query params with a single Alibaba percentEncode helper.

Addressed the review items in 0e840b0 (Java equivalent of the metadataRequest stream-error note):

  • Metadata HTTP reads now fail if the stream errors or closes before Content-Length is satisfied, instead of returning a partial body.
  • readFully keeps raw newlines, so a multi-line RAM-role listing uses the first role.
  • STS query encoding is consolidated into one percentEncode helper (space%20, *%2A, ~ left unencoded).
  • Live e2e docs/tests now include alicloud gated on ALIBABA_CLOUD_ACCESS_KEY_ID.

Full independent review from scratch: isolated clone, built and ran the full suite with JDK 11 (matching CI) — 44 tests pass, 4 skipped (gated live-e2e), 0 failures, stable across 3 reruns of the Alibaba suite. CI green (3/3 checks). Signing algorithm cross-checked line-by-line against the approved akeyless-go-cloud-id PR #22 baseline: RPC-style canonicalized query string (sorted params incl. empty SignatureType), double percent-encoding via a single unified percentEncode helper, HMAC-SHA1 with secret+"&", query-only POST with empty body to https://sts.aliyuncs.com/ — matches exactly, including a golden hardcoded-signature unit test (rpcStringToSignIsDeterministic).

BC check: change is purely additive — new AlibabaCloudIdProvider + one new "alicloud" branch in CloudProviderFactory. No existing provider path (aws_iam/azure_ad/gcp) touched, CloudIdProvider interface unchanged. Cross-repo check confirms "alicloud" matches the canonical server-side access-type value in akeyless-main-repo (client/config/profile.go ALICLOUD AccessType = "alicloud").

Previously-flagged bug verified fixed: commit 0e840b0 rewrites readFully() to copy the raw InputStream (ByteArrayOutputStream) instead of readLine()-based concatenation, preserving newlines so firstLine() correctly isolates the first RAM role from a multi-line ECS metadata response. Covered by a direct regression test (readFullyPreservesNewlinesAndRejectsTruncation) and an end-to-end test against a mock multi-line metadata server (ecsCredentialsUseFirstRoleWhenMetadataIsMultiline). The same commit also fail-closes on truncated/errored metadata streams (content-length mismatch and IOException both now throw, previously ignored) and fixed a latent inconsistency where the request URL's query encoding didn't apply the same +/*/~ normalization as the signature string.

CodeRabbit ledger: both open threads (IMDSv2 token hardening, readFully newline handling) are resolved and independently re-verified against current code — no unaddressed comments remain.

No blockers or important improvements found. Approving.
