- Updated the Policy Enforcer configuration across multiple YAML files to use a unified `policyDir` instead of individual policy sources. - Changed the step name from `enforcePolicy` to `policyEnforcer` for consistency. - Enhanced the documentation to clarify the use of `policyUrls`, `policyDir`, and `policyFile` for policy sources. - Adjusted related code and tests to accommodate the new configuration structure. - Added documentation for using YAML folded scalar (>-) to keep long comma-separated policyUrls values readable across multiple lines.

# Policy Enforcer Plugin
|
|
|
|
OPA/Rego-based policy enforcement for beckn-onix adapters. Evaluates incoming beckn messages against configurable policies and NACKs non-compliant requests.
|
|
|
|
## Overview
|
|
|
|
The `policyenforcer` plugin is a **Step plugin** that:
|
|
- Loads `.rego` policy files from local directories, files, URLs, or local paths
|
|
- Evaluates incoming messages against compiled OPA policies
|
|
- Returns a `BadReqErr` (NACK) when policy violations are detected
|
|
- Fails closed on evaluation errors (treats as NACK)
|
|
- Is strictly **opt-in** — adapters that don't reference it are unaffected
|
|
|
|
## Configuration
|
|
|
|
All config keys are passed via `map[string]string` in the adapter YAML config.
|
|
|
|
| Key | Required | Default | Description |
|
|
|-----|----------|---------|-------------|
|
|
| `policyUrls` | At least one of `policyUrls`, `policyDir`, or `policyFile` required | — | Comma-separated list of URLs, local file paths, or directory paths to `.rego` files |
|
|
| `policyDir` | | `./policies` | Local directory containing `.rego` files |
|
|
| `policyFile` | | — | Single local `.rego` file path |
|
|
| `query` | No | `data.policy.violations` | Rego query returning violation strings |
|
|
| `actions` | No | *(empty — all actions)* | Comma-separated beckn actions to enforce. When omitted, all actions are evaluated and the Rego policy itself decides which to gate. |
|
|
| `enabled` | No | `true` | Enable/disable the plugin |
|
|
| `debugLogging` | No | `false` | Enable verbose logging |
|
|
| *any other key* | No | — | Forwarded to Rego as `data.config.<key>` |
|
|
|
|
### Policy Sources
|
|
|
|
`policyUrls` is the primary configuration key. It accepts a comma-separated list of:
|
|
- **Remote URLs**: `https://policies.example.com/compliance.rego`
|
|
- **Local file paths**: `/etc/policies/local.rego`
|
|
- **Directory paths**: `/etc/policies/` (all `.rego` files loaded, `_test.rego` excluded)
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
config:
|
|
policyUrls: "https://policies.example.com/compliance.rego,/etc/policies/,/local/safety.rego"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When specifying many URLs, use the YAML folded scalar (`>-`) to keep the config readable:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
config:
|
|
policyUrls: >-
|
|
https://policies.example.com/compliance.rego,
|
|
https://policies.example.com/safety.rego,
|
|
https://policies.example.com/rate-limit.rego,
|
|
/local/policies/,
|
|
https://policies.example.com/auth.rego
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
The `>-` folds newlines into spaces, so the value is parsed as a single comma-separated string.
|
|
|
|
### Minimal Config
|
|
|
|
By default, the plugin loads `.rego` files from `./policies` and uses the query `data.policy.violations`. A zero-config setup works if your policies are in the default directory:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
policyEnforcer:
|
|
id: policyenforcer
|
|
config: {}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or specify a custom policy location:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
policyEnforcer:
|
|
id: policyenforcer
|
|
config:
|
|
policyUrls: "./policies/compliance.rego"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Air-Gapped Deployments
|
|
|
|
For environments without internet access, use local file paths or volume mounts:
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
config:
|
|
policyUrls: "/mounted-policies/compliance.rego,/mounted-policies/safety.rego"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Example Config
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
plugins:
|
|
policyEnforcer:
|
|
id: policyenforcer
|
|
config:
|
|
policyUrls: "https://policies.example.com/compliance.rego,/local/policies/"
|
|
minDeliveryLeadHours: "4"
|
|
debugLogging: "true"
|
|
steps:
|
|
- policyEnforcer
|
|
- addRoute
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Relationship with Schema Validator
|
|
|
|
`policyenforcer` and `schemavalidator`/`schemav2validator` are **separate plugins** with different responsibilities:
|
|
|
|
- **Schema Validator**: Validates message **structure** against OpenAPI/JSON Schema specs
|
|
- **Policy Enforcer**: Evaluates **business rules** via OPA/Rego policies
|
|
|
|
They use different plugin interfaces (`SchemaValidator` vs `Step`), different engines, and different error types. Configure them side-by-side in your adapter config as needed.
