AWS CDK constructs for managing OpenSearch API resources.
This module can be useful when you need to manage the resources inside an OpenSearch cluster, for example creating Roles and Role Mappings for fine grained access control.
Prereqs:
- You must have Fine Grained Access Control enabled with a Master User, the Custom Resources in this package need the master user to authenticate.
- The Master User credentials must be in a Secrets Manager secret, in the format of
{"username":"x","password":y"}
import { Role } from "cdk-aws-opensearch-api";
// in your Stack/Construct
new Role(this, "MyRole", {
domain: yourOpenSearchDomain,
roleName: "roleName",
masterUserPasswordSecret: theMasterUserCredentialsInSecretsManager,
// this definition is what you'd PUT to the OpenSearch API:
// https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security-plugin/access-control/api/#create-role
roleDefinition: {
cluster_permissions: ["indices:data/write/*"],
index_permissions: [{
index_patterns: ["*"],
allowed_actions: ["crud"],
}],
},
});If you have access to a Role already, then you can call the addRoleMapping function to change the Role Mapping for
that role:
import { Role } from "cdk-aws-opensearch-api";
const myRole = new Role(/* ... */);
myRole.addRoleMapping({
// this definition is what you'd PUT to the OpenSearch API:
// https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security-plugin/access-control/api/#create-role-mapping
backend_roles: ["starfleet", "captains", "defectors", "cn=ldaprole,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"],
hosts: ["*.starfleetintranet.com"],
users: ["worf"]
});Otherwise, you can create a Role Mapping independently:
import { RoleMapping } from "cdk-aws-opensearch-api";
// in your Stack/Construct
new RoleMapping(this, "MyRoleMapping", {
domain: yourOpenSearchDomain,
roleName: "roleName",
masterUserPasswordSecret: theMasterUserCredentialsInSecretsManager,
// this definition is what you'd PUT to the OpenSearch API:
// https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/security-plugin/access-control/api/#create-role-mapping
roleDefinition: {
backend_roles: ["starfleet", "captains", "defectors", "cn=ldaprole,ou=groups,dc=example,dc=com"],
hosts: ["*.starfleetintranet.com"],
users: ["worf"]
},
});- Roles
- Role Mappings
There's also a low-level fallback resource called ApiResource which you can use to manage other API resources that
don't have a construct yet. Use at your own risk.
