I’m not entirely sold on the HOSTS as part of the naming, CRC_API_TOKEN or CRC_REST_API_TOKEN, or CRC_DAEMON_API_TOKEN might be clearer?

@cfergeau whatever the name we choose we need to update crc-org/snc#1259 and crc-org/routes-controller#60 because there also we are as of now using CRC_HOSTS_API_TOKEN so if we agree to use as CRC_REST_API_TOKEN then I can hold this PR and first do the changes on those place.

I’d move this to its own preflight check as this has nothing to do with systemd.

Imo it would be better to always create a new token when we create a new machine. Doing it as part of preflights mean we’ll have a long lived token which is almost never renewed.

this might not be possible, since we need to restart the daemon to load the new token
There was a problem hiding this comment.
@cfergeau we have long lived daemon process and the token is consumed by admin-helper request which is a mux started by daemon process. As of now when we delete crc we don't remove/kill the daemon process until user do cleanup.

we can implement SIGHUP handling to tell the daemon to reload its config (or in our case, the token file), or add file monitoring over the token file.

May be we don't need long running daemon as part of crc-ng because we want to remove crc api and also replace the virtualnet with gvproxy so only thing is the admin-helper so we can refactor more around as part of crc-ng side.

Validate token-file permissions before reuse.
LoadOrCreateToken reuses any token that LoadToken validates. If the existing file has mode 0644, the 0o600 creation mode is not applied. Reject or repair files with group or other permissions, and add a test for a valid 0644 token file.

Repair invalid token files during preflight.
checkRestAPIToken rejects malformed content, but restapi.LoadOrCreateToken only creates a token when the path does not exist. For an existing malformed file, fixRestAPIToken returns the validation error, so setup remains blocked until the file is deleted manually.
Replace the invalid file, or remove it before calling LoadOrCreateToken, when validation fails.

Restrict and remove the REST API token manifest. EnsureRestAPITokenSecret writes a base64-encoded bearer token to /opt/crc/rest-api-token.yaml with mode 0644 and leaves the file after applying it. Any VM account that can traverse /opt/crc can read and decode it. Use mode 0600 and remove the file after the apply operation, including failure paths.

Generate and persist a rest API token when the daemon starts and during preflight setup. Require the token as an `Authorization: Bearer` header on the `/hosts/add` and `/hosts/remove` admin-helper endpoints. Sync the same token into an OpenShift Secret so routes-controller can authenticate when updating the hosts file. Add unit tests for token creation and authorization checks.
