fix(auth): use the credentials store when no registry matches#3882manduinca wants to merge 2 commits into
Conversation
A config that only sets credsStore has no auths or credHelpers entries to enumerate, so the auth config map came back empty and every registry was pulled unauthenticated. A credentials store serves every registry, so it is asked once the registry is known.

Summary by CodeRabbit
WalkthroughDocker image authentication now loads Docker configuration once and reuses it for parsed credentials and credential-store lookups. Missing configuration files produce an empty configuration. Credential-store errors propagate to callers. Tests cover successful, scheme-less, error, and not-found cases. ChangesDocker authentication configuration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to A registry absent from the configured credential store can be authenticated through an unrelated default helper rather than treated as having no credentials, potentially causing incorrect credentials to be used or public image pulls to fail. This should be corrected before merge. Suggested reviewers: Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

🟡 Changes recommended
The new credsStore lookup likely needs to handle canonical registry key formats (scheme vs host) and should not mask credential helper/config errors as “not found.”

Pull request overview
This PR improves Docker registry authentication resolution by adding a fallback lookup via the Docker global credentials store (credsStore) when no explicit registry entry is found in auths or credHelpers, addressing cases where getDockerAuthConfigs returns an empty map and images are pulled unauthenticated.
Changes:
- Add a
credsStore-based fallback indockerImageAuthwhengetRegistryAuthdoes not match. - Introduce
credentialsStoreAuthhelper to query the credential store on-demand per registry. - Add unit tests covering credsStore-only configurations (hit and miss cases).

Agreed. Errors from configKey and from the store now propagate, and there's a test for it (credentials store errors are reported). One deliberate exception: an empty registry host is never sent to the store, since a helper answers that with no credentials server URL; and a helper binary that isn't installed already reads as no credentials inside dockercfg, which keeps a stray credsStore from breaking pulls of public images.

The host without scheme is what the docker CLI itself hands to a credential helper for anything but Docker Hub: docker login example.com stores the entry under example.com and docker pull asks the helper for that same key. The https:// form is specific to index.docker.io/v1/, and dockerImageAuth already normalises Hub aliases to it before the lookup. So a store populated by docker login is asked with the key it was written under. Happy to add a fallback if you know of a store that keys on the scheme-prefixed form, but I'd rather not double the helper calls on a hunch.

Added: retrieve auth from the credentials store for a scheme-less registry, using example-auth.com/my/image:latest and asserting the store is asked for example-auth.com.
…tore errors The cache looked credentials up through dockercfg.GetRegistryCredentials, which reloads the default config file, so a process configured through DOCKER_AUTH_CONFIG could miss its credentials store. The loaded config is now passed down to the lookup. Errors from the store are reported instead of read as missing credentials, and an empty registry host is never sent to the store.

Use a configured-store-only lookup here.
On a cache miss, creds.AuthConfig calls cfg.GetRegistryCredentials(reg). In dockercfg v0.3.2, an empty configured-store result falls through to GetCredentialsFromHelper("", reg), which selects the platform default helper. Use a cached path that calls dockercfg.GetCredentialsFromHelper(cfg.CredentialsStore, reg) instead. Preserve the existing empty-username mapping to IdentityToken. Do not change the shared getRegistryCredentials, because credential-helper resolution also uses it.

What does this PR do?
When a registry is not found among the auth configs, the credentials store is asked for it, if one is configured.
Why is it important?
getDockerAuthConfigsbuilds the map by iterating overauthsandcredHelpers. A config that only sets a credentials store has neither, so the map comes back empty and every registry is pulled unauthenticated:{ "credsStore": "ecr-login" }A credentials store serves every registry rather than a named one (docker login), so it has no entries to enumerate up front: it can only be asked once the registry is known, which is why the lookup belongs here and not in
getDockerAuthConfigs. This is the piece #1078 left out when it addedcredHelperssupport.The store answers for an unknown registry with empty credentials rather than an error, so an empty answer is treated as "no credentials" and the existing
ErrCredentialsNotFoundis returned as before. Results go through the samecredentialsCacheas the rest, so the helper is executed once per registry.Related issues
