Selective security augmentation in source control environments
A method enhances authentication requirements to documents of a document repository based, at least in part, on a security policy associated with a branch under which the documents are organized. The method implements an approval service that is identified in a branch policy. The approval service determines whether a user is authorized to modify documents included in the branch. The method further selectively requires multiple authentications from multiple authentication systems in order to access one or more particular branches in a document repository. Further, the multiple authentication systems are based on separate and independent sets of authentication credentials.
1. A device-implemented method, comprising:
first authenticating, via a first authentication system, an account to access a document repository;
receiving, from the account and in response to a valid authentication, a request to submit a document to the document repository;
decoding, based on the first authenticating being valid, the request;
identifying, based on the decoding, a branch of the document repository to which the document is to be stored, the branch is one of a plurality of branches of the document repository, the branch of the branches including a non-overlapping subset of the document repository;
determining that accessing the branch requires a second authentication in addition to the first authentication;
second authenticating, via a second authentication system, the account in response to determining the branch requires the second authentication; and
submitting, based on the second authenticating being valid, the document to the branch of the document repository.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising:
receiving, from the account, a second request to submit a second document to the document repository;
second decoding, based on the first authenticating, the second request;
identifying, based on the second decoding, a second branch of the document repository;
determining a second authentication is not required to access the second branch; and
submitting, based on the first authenticating, the second document to the second branch of the document repository.
3. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first authentication system is configured to associate the account with a first set of credentials and the second authentication system is configured to associate the account with a second set of credentials.
4. The method of claim 1 , wherein the determining that the first branch requires the second authentication comprises identifying a branch policy associated with the first branch, and determining, based on the branch policy, that the first branch requires the second authentication.
5. The method of claim 4 , wherein the second authenticating via the second authentication system comprises querying a web service.
6. The method of claim 5 , further identifying, based on the branch policy, the web service.
7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first authentication system is configured to control access to enterprise resources, and the second authentication system is configured to control access to a data center.
8. A system, comprising:
hardware processing circuitry; and
one or more hardware memories storing instructions that when executed, configure the hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
first authenticating, via a first authentication system, an account to access a document repository;
receiving, from the account and in response to a valid authentication, a request to submit a document to the document repository;
decoding, based on the first authenticating being valid, the request;
identifying, based on the decoding, a branch of the document repository to which the document is to be stored, the branch is one of a plurality of branches of the document repository, the branch of the branches including a non-overlapping subset of the document repository;
determining that accessing the branch requires a second authentication in addition to the first authentication;
second authenticating, via a second authentication system, the account in response to determining the branch requires the second authentication; and
submitting, based on the second authenticating being valid, the document to the branch of the document repository.
9. The system of claim 8 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, from the account, a second request to submit a second document to the document repository;
second decoding, based on the first authenticating, the second request;
identifying, based on the second decoding, a second branch of the document repository;
determining a second authentication is not required to access the second branch; and
submitting, based on the first authenticating, the second document to the second branch of the document repository.
10. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first authentication system is configured to associate the account with a first set of credentials and the second authentication system is configured to associate the account with a second set of credentials.
11. The system of claim 8 , wherein the determining that the first branch requires the second authentication comprises identifying a branch policy associated with the first branch, and determining, based on the branch policy, that the first branch requires the second authentication.
12. The system of claim 11 , wherein the second authenticating via the second authentication system comprises querying a web service.
13. The system of claim 12 , the operations further comprising further identifying, based on the branch policy, the web service.
14. The system of claim 8 , wherein the first authentication system is configured to control access to enterprise resources, and the second authentication system is configured to control access to a data center.
15. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium comprising instructions that when executed configure hardware processing circuitry to perform operations comprising:
first authenticating, via a first authentication system, an account to access a document repository;
receiving, from the account and in response to a valid authentication, a request to submit a document to the document repository;
decoding, based on the first authenticating being valid, the request;
identifying, based on the decoding, a branch of the document repository to which the document is to be stored, the branch is one of a plurality of branches of the document repository, the branch of the branches including a non-overlapping subset of the document repository;
determining that accessing the branch requires a second authentication in addition to the first authentication;
second authenticating, via a second authentication system, the account in response to determining the branch requires the second authentication; and
submitting, based on the second authenticating being valid, the document to the branch of the document repository.
16. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , the operations further comprising:
receiving, from the account, a second request to submit a second document to the document repository;
second decoding, based on the first authenticating, the second request;
identifying, based on the second decoding, a second branch of the document repository;
determining a second authentication is not required to access the second branch; and
submitting, based on the first authenticating, the second document to the second branch of the document repository.
17. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the first authentication system is configured to associate the account with a first set of credentials and the second authentication system is configured to associate the account with a second set of credentials.
18. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 15 , wherein the determining that the first branch requires the second authentication comprises identifying a branch policy associated with the first branch, and determining, based on the branch policy, that the first branch requires the second authentication.
19. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 18 , wherein the second authenticating via the second authentication system comprises querying a web service.
20. The non-transitory computer readable storage medium of claim 19 , the operations further comprising further identifying, based on the branch policy, the web service.
