Replaced http api calls with openstack client commands.
Note blacklist exception policy for admin users.
Changed voicing to be more passive
Blacklists only apply to zones, not records.

Blacklisting Domain Names
=========================
Zone and recordset names can be blacklisted in Designate, disallowing
the creation of certain names, specified by regular expressions.
.. note::
The simple use case here could be "I don't want anyone to be able to
create anything with ``mycompany.com.`` in it!", or maybe disallowing
subzones on a certain zone. Or simply disallowing the creation of a single
zone, like ``google.com.``.
The blacklist feature will be renamed and moved to
denylist in the near future.
If wanted to blacklist ``example.com.`` and all of it's subdomains, we could
make the following API calls.
You can prevent users from creating zones with names that match a particular
regular expression using blacklists. For example, you might use a blacklist to
prevent users from:
- creating a specific zone.
- creating zones that contain a certain string,
- creating subzones of a certain zone.
Managing Blacklists
-------------------
You can create blacklists using the ``zone blacklist create`` command with
`System Administrator`_ privileges. For example, to blacklist ``example.com.``
and all of its subdomains:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack zone blacklist create --pattern ".*example.com."
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| created_at | 2021-05-27T04:06:42.000000 |
| description | None |
| id | 7622e241-8c3d-4c03-a692-8747e3cf2658 |
| pattern | .*example.com. |
| updated_at | None |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
If a `Domain or Project Persona`_ attempts to create ``foo.example.com.``, or
``example.com.``, they encounter an error:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack zone create --email admin@example.com example.com.
Blacklisted zone name
$ openstack zone create --email admin@example.com foo.example.com.
Blacklisted zone name
.. note::
Users who satisfy the ``use_blacklisted_zone`` policy can create zones with
names that are on a blacklist. By default, the only users who have this
override are `System Administrators`_.
You can update a blacklist using ``zone blacklist set`` to modify its pattern
or description;
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack zone blacklist set 81fbfe02-6bf9-4812-a40e-1522ab6862ca --pattern ".*web.example.com"
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| Field | Value |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
| created_at | 2021-05-27T04:14:14.000000 |
| description | None |
| id | 81fbfe02-6bf9-4812-a40e-1522ab6862ca |
| pattern | .*web.example.com |
| updated_at | 2021-05-27T04:14:48.000000 |
+-------------+--------------------------------------+
You can delete a blacklist using `zone blacklist delete`:
.. code-block:: console
$ openstack zone blacklist delete 7622e241-8c3d-4c03-a692-8747e3cf2658
There is no output when this command is successful.
Using the REST API
-------------------
The regular expressions used for blacklists are similar to Python regular
expressions, but you must escape certain characters when making HTTP calls.
For examples, this refex restricts using ``example.com.`` and its ASCII
subdomains:
``^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-]+\.)*example\.com\.$``
However, you must insert the escape character (backslash, \) before the
instances of dot (.) and .com:
``^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-]+\\.)*example\\.com\\.$``
Here is the API call and the regex with the HTTP characters escaped:
.. code-block:: http
@ -40,59 +122,17 @@ make the following API calls.
"description" : "This blacklists *.example.com."
}
Response:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 201 CREATED
Content-Type: application/json; charset=UTF-8
X-Openstack-Request-Id: req-bfcd0723-624c-4ec2-bbd5-99e985efe8db
{
"description": "This blacklists *.example.com.",
"links": {
"self": "http://127.0.0.1:9001/v2/blacklists/af91edb5-ede8-453f-af13-feabdd088f9c"
},
"pattern": "^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-]+\\.)*example\\.com\\.$",
"created_at": "2016-05-20 06:15:42",
"updated_at": null,
"id": "af91edb5-ede8-453f-af13-feabdd088f9c"
}
Now, if someone were to try and create ``foo.example.com.``,
or ``example.com.`` they would encounter an error:
.. code-block:: http
HTTP/1.1 400 BAD REQUEST
Content-Type: application/json
X-Openstack-Request-Id: req-b7be7770-ec4f-4573-b4db-70f95475f691
{
"message": "Blacklisted zone name",
"code": 400,
"type": "invalid_zone_name",
"request_id": "req-b7be7770-ec4f-4573-b4db-70f95475f691"
}
Blacklists can be deleted, just like an other resource in the API,
``DELETE /v2/blacklists/<id>``.
Regular Expressions
-------------------
The regular expressions used here can be a bit difficult to wrap your mind
around at first. Try using a tool like https://www.debuggex.com/
Regular Expressions can be difficult to work with. The
`Python Regex Documentation`_ may serve as a useful introduction, and online
regular expression tools can assist when building and testing regexes for use
with the blacklist API.
It's important to note that the regular expressions we enter are similar
to Python regular expressions, but we need to escape certain characters
when we make HTTP calls.
This means that if you wanted to debug this regex:
``^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-]+\\.)*example\\.com\\.$``
you're really working with this regex:
``^([A-Za-z0-9_\\-]+\.)*example\.com\.$``
