note: 'Derived by reading the published documentation, not from an OpenAPI securitySchemes
block — Inspur Cloud publishes no machine-readable contract. Two distinct signing schemes
are in use: a proprietary AK/SK header signature for the platform APIs, and an
Amazon-S3-v2-style signature for Object Storage.'
schemes:
- id: aksk-signature
type: custom-signature
applies_to: All platform OpenAPIs (ECS, CPS, EBS, CBS, VPC, EIP, IPTS, SLB, IAM, RDS, TSDB)
credential: AccessKey ID (AK) + AccessKey Secret (SK), issued by Inspur Cloud IAM
transport: request headers
headers:
- name: x-secret-id
description: AccessKey ID (AK)
- name: x-sign-algorithm
description: Hash algorithm; sha1, md5 and sha256 are supported
- name: x-time
description: 13-digit millisecond epoch timestamp
- name: x-random
description: Random nonce string, generated per request
- name: x-sign
description: The computed signature value
signing_process:
- step: 1
detail: 'Sort all query and form parameters in lexicographic order by key, then join them
onto the URI absolute path as uri?key1=value1&key2=value2 to produce uriToSign.'
- step: 2
detail: 'Concatenate x-time + x-random + SK, in that order, with no separator, to produce
headerToSign.'
- step: 3
detail: MD5 the request body and hex-encode it to produce bodyToSign.
- step: 4
detail: 'Join httpMethod, headerToSign, uriToSign and bodyToSign with newline separators
to produce fullToSign.'
- step: 5
detail: 'Hash fullToSign with the chosen algorithm, hex-encode, then base64-encode the
result; send it as the x-sign header.'
replay_protection: 'x-time plus x-random act as a timestamp/nonce pair. The docs do not
state a clock-skew tolerance or a nonce retention window, so an integrator cannot tell
how long a signature stays valid.'
weaknesses:
- 'MD5 and SHA-1 are offered as signature algorithms alongside SHA-256, and MD5 is the
algorithm used in the worked example in the documentation.'
- 'The body digest is MD5 regardless of the chosen x-sign-algorithm.'
- 'The signature is a hash of a concatenated string, not an HMAC; the secret is embedded in
the hashed material rather than keying the hash.'
- id: iam-token
type: bearer
applies_to: 'Platform OpenAPIs, as an alternative to AK/SK; the Inspur Cloud API Gateway
IAM plugin supports both since APIG v1.4.0 (2020-02-27).'
credential: Token obtained from the IAM GetToken interface
transport: header
headers:
- name: Authorization
description: Bearer <token>
note: 'The ECS calling-convention page states the Authorization header is required and
carries "Bearer [token]" obtained from the GetToken interface. Token lifetime, refresh
and revocation are not documented on the public reference pages.'
- id: oss-signature
type: custom-signature
applies_to: Object Storage Service (OSS)
credential: AccessKey ID + AccessKey Secret
transport: Authorization header, or query-string presigned URL
algorithm: 'Signature = base64(HMAC-SHA1(AccessKeySecret, VERB + "\n" + Content-MD5 + "\n"
+ Content-Type + "\n" + Date + "\n" + CanonicalizedOSSHeaders + CanonicalizedResource))'
canonical_headers_prefix: x-oss-
note: 'This is the Amazon S3 Signature Version 2 construction with an x-oss- header prefix.
It is what makes the service usable from S3cmd, S3Browser and Rclone, which Inspur Cloud
documents. Invalid signatures return HTTP 403.'
- id: iccs-rsa-signature
type: custom-signature
applies_to: Inspur Cloud Code Service (ICCS)
credential: appId + secret issued by the ICCS platform, then a Token
transport: Token header
note: 'Requests are signed with an RSA private key and verified by the platform with the
matching public key; a Token obtained from the token endpoint is then sent in the Token
header alongside Content-Type application/json.'
oauth2: false
openid_connect: false
mutual_tls: false
mfa:
supported: true
detail: 'IAM exposes TOTP MFA management operations — GET /auth/v1/users/{userId}/action/
get-totp-register-info, POST .../bind-totp, PUT .../remove-totp, GET .../has-totp — so
MFA is an account control, not an API authentication factor.'
gaps:
- No OAuth 2.0 or OpenID Connect surface is published anywhere in the documentation.
- No /.well-known/openid-configuration or /.well-known/oauth-authorization-server document
is served on any host (see well-known/inspur-cloud-well-known.yml).
- 'Token lifetime, rotation and revocation are undocumented, as is the signature validity
window; an integrator has to discover both empirically.'
