Hello Alejandro, or anyone else affected,

Accepted heat into plucky-proposed. The package will build now and be
available at
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/heat/1:24.0.0-0ubuntu1.1 in a few
hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package.  See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how
to enable and use -proposed.  Your feedback will aid us getting this
update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug,
mentioning the version of the package you tested, what testing has been
performed on the package and change the tag from verification-needed-
plucky to verification-done-plucky. If it does not fix the bug for you,
please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-
failed-plucky. In either case, without details of your testing we will
not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification .  Thank you in
advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s)
fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in
-proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Bug description:
  [ Impact ]

   * This bug causes a DB column to be wrongly set to NULL, rendering
   any subsequent stack update actions impossible. This effectively 
   renders Heat unusable for scenarios where nested stacks are used 
   and "reauthentication_auth_method=trusts" is required.

   * The fix ensures that the related DB column is correctly set with
   the value from the parent stack. 

  [ Test Plan ]

  1) Set up an Openstack cloud with Heat and set up a test user
  2) Log in as admin or any other user able to do stack operations:

  $ env | grep OS_
  OS_REGION_NAME=RegionOne
  OS_AUTH_URL=https://<ip>:5000/v3
  OS_PROJECT_DOMAIN_NAME=admin_domain
  OS_AUTH_PROTOCOL=https
  OS_USERNAME=admin
  OS_AUTH_TYPE=password
  OS_USER_DOMAIN_NAME=admin_domain
  OS_PROJECT_NAME=admin
  OS_PASSWORD=<some password>
  OS_IDENTITY_API_VERSION=3

  $ openstack user list
  +----------------------------------+------------+
  | ID | Name |
  +----------------------------------+------------+
  | 95108ce766424c7aa92b20c92dd61e8f | admin |
  | 415a1d3f6d324187a15391c8205ce131 | demo |
  | 190c8cbd62734b9eb1f82ab482b9441e | alt_demo |
  | c7ac272709164a79b2b1833db40696da | testadmin |
  +----------------------------------+------------+

  3) Create a stack with userfrom step 2

  $ openstack stack create -t ./stack.yaml teststack --wait
  2025-02-06 11:40:02Z [teststack]: CREATE_IN_PROGRESS Stack CREATE started
  2025-02-06 11:40:02Z [teststack.test_res]: CREATE_IN_PROGRESS state changed
  2025-02-06 11:40:08Z [teststack.test_res]: CREATE_COMPLETE state changed
  2025-02-06 11:40:09Z [teststack]: CREATE_COMPLETE Stack CREATE completed successfully
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | Field | Value |
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | id | 3ea4ee9d-1686-4a97-ae92-c1f6232cd16c |
  | stack_name | teststack |
  | description | No description |
  | creation_time | 2025-02-06T11:40:01Z |
  | updated_time | None |
  | stack_status | CREATE_COMPLETE |
  | stack_status_reason | Stack CREATE completed successfully |
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+

  4) Update the stack, this would work:

  $ openstack stack update -t stack.yaml teststack --wait
  2025-02-06 11:40:20Z [teststack]: UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS Stack UPDATE started
  2025-02-06 11:40:20Z [teststack.test_res]: UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state changed
  2025-02-06 11:40:29Z [teststack.test_res]: UPDATE_COMPLETE state changed
  2025-02-06 11:40:29Z [teststack]: UPDATE_COMPLETE Stack UPDATE completed successfully
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | Field | Value |
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+
  | id | 3ea4ee9d-1686-4a97-ae92-c1f6232cd16c |
  | stack_name | teststack |
  | description | No description |
  | creation_time | 2025-02-06T11:40:01Z |
  | updated_time | 2025-02-06T11:40:20Z |
  | stack_status | UPDATE_COMPLETE |
  | stack_status_reason | Stack UPDATE completed successfully |
  +---------------------+--------------------------------------+

  5) Change users and re-run the stack update:

  $ export OS_USERNAME=testadmin; export OS_PASSWORD=<somepassword>
  $ openstack stack update -t stack.yaml teststack --wait
  2025-02-06 11:41:35Z [teststack]: UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS Stack UPDATE started
  2025-02-06 11:41:35Z [teststack.test_res]: UPDATE_IN_PROGRESS state changed
  2025-02-06 11:41:36Z [teststack.test_res]: UPDATE_FAILED RemoteError: resources.test_res: Remote error: Error Attempt to use stored_context with no user_creds
  ['Traceback (most recent call last):\n', ' File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/heat/common/context.py", line 410, in wrapped\n return func(self, ctx
  2025-02-06 11:41:36Z [teststack]: UPDATE_FAILED Resource UPDATE failed: RemoteError: resources.test_res: Remote error: Error Attempt to use stored_context with no user_creds

   Stack teststack UPDATE_FAILED

  Notice below the simple test stacks I used:

  stack.yaml:

  heat_template_version: 2021-04-16

  resources:
    test_res:
      type: OS::Heat::ResourceGroup
        #update_policy:
        #batch_create:
        # max_batch_size: 1
        #rolling_update:
        # max_batch_size: 1

      properties:
        count: 2
        resource_def:
          type: nestedstack.yaml
          properties:
            index_name: "%index%"

  nestedstack.yaml:

  heat_template_version: 2015-04-30

  parameters:
    index_name:
      type: string
      description: ""

  resources:

    test-user:
      type: OS::Keystone::User
      properties:
        default_project: "admin"
        domain: admin_domain
        enabled: True
        name: { list_join : ["",["test", { get_param: index_name }]] }
        password: "test"

  [ Where problems could occur ]

   * If the creds from the parent stack cannot be read for any particular
     reason then the related DB would still be set to NULL. I have not found 
     any scenario were this would happend though.

   * There may be performance implications for very complex and heavily 
     nested stack deployments as we need to retrieve the parent stack data
     every time which is somewhat costly.

  [ Other Info ]

  When a stack is created with a certain user,
  "reauthentication_auth_method=trusts" and an update is triggered, the
  update will fail with the below error:

  $ openstack stack resource list -n 5 teststack

  The above happens because the user_creds_id column in the stack table
  of the Heat DB is set to NULL for all nested resources (butnot the
  main stack):

  mysql> select id,name,action,status,user_creds_id from heat.stack where name like "%teststack%" and deleted_at is NULL;
  +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+
  | id | name | action | status | user_creds_id |
  +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+

  | 3ea4ee9d-1686-4a97-ae92-c1f6232cd16c | teststack | UPDATE | FAILED | 49 |

  +--------------------------------------+------------------------------------------------+--------+----------+---------------+

  I would argue that:

  - if different users are not to be used then the operation should be denied or error out in a more graceful and controlled way without "corrupting" the DB
  - the user_creds_id column should not be set to NULL preventing further updates (regardless of the user) to succeed
