@ -137,211 +137,13 @@ The `load_balance.type` setting can be used at the realm level to configure how
{security} should interact with multiple LDAP servers. {security} supports both
failover and load balancing modes of operation.
.Load Balancing and Failover Types
|=======================
| Type | | | Description
| `failover` | | | The URLs specified are used in the order that they are specified.
The first server that can be connected to will be used for all
subsequent connections. If a connection to that server fails then
the next server that a connection can be established to will be
used for subsequent connections.
| `dns_failover` | | | In this mode of operation, only a single URL may be specified.
This URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for
all IP addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections to
the LDAP server will always be tried in the order in which they
were retrieved. This differs from `failover` in that there is no
reordering of the list and if a server has failed at the beginning
of the list, it will still be tried for each subsequent connection.
| `round_robin` | | | Connections will continuously iterate through the list of provided
URLs. If a server is unavailable, iterating through the list of
URLs will continue until a successful connection is made.
| `dns_round_robin` | | | In this mode of operation, only a single URL may be specified. This
URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for all IP
addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections will
continuously iterate through the list of addresses. If a server is
unavailable, iterating through the list of URLs will continue until
a successful connection is made.

===== LDAP Realm Settings
.Common LDAP Realm Settings
[cols="4,^3,10"]
|=======================
| Setting | Required | Description
| `type` | yes | Indicates the realm type. Must be set to `ldap`.
| `order` | no | Indicates the priority of this realm within the realm
chain. Realms with a lower order are consulted first.
Although not required, we recommend explicitly
setting this value when you configure multiple realms.
Defaults to `Integer.MAX_VALUE`.
| `enabled` | no | Indicates whether this realm is enabled or disabled.
Enables you to disable a realm without removing its
configuration. Defaults to `true`.
| `url` | yes | Specifies one or more LDAP URLs of the form of
`ldap[s]://<server>:<port>`. Multiple URLs can be
defined using a comma separated value or array syntax:
`[ "ldaps://server1:636", "ldaps://server2:636" ]`.
`ldaps` and `ldap` URL protocols cannot be mixed in
the same realm.
| `load_balance.type` | no | The behavior to use when there are multiple LDAP URLs
defined. For supported values see
<<ldap-load-balancing, LDAP load balancing and failover types>>.
| `load_balance.cache_ttl` | no | When using `dns_failover` or `dns_round_robin` as the
load balancing type, this setting controls the amount of time
to cache DNS lookups. Defaults to `1h`.
| `user_group_attribute` | no | Specifies the attribute to examine on the user for group
membership. The default is `memberOf`. This setting will
be ignored if any `group_search` settings are specified.
| `group_search.base_dn` | no | Specifies a container DN to search for groups in which
the user has membership. When this element is absent,
Security searches for the attribute specified by
`user_group_attribute` set on the user to determine
group membership.
| `group_search.scope` | no | Specifies whether the group search should be
`sub_tree`, `one_level` or `base`. `one_level` only
searches objects directly contained within the
`base_dn`. The default `sub_tree` searches all objects
contained under `base_dn`. `base` specifies that the
`base_dn` is a group object, and that it is the only
group considered.
| `group_search.filter` | no | Specifies a filter to use to lookup a group. If not
set, the realm searches for `group`,
`groupOfNames`, `groupOfUniqueNames`, or `posixGroup` with the
attributes `member`, `memberOf`, or `memberUid`. Any instance of
`{0}` in the filter is replaced by the user
attribute defined in `group_search.user_attribute`
| `group_search.user_attribute` | no | Specifies the user attribute that is fetched and
provided as a parameter to the filter. If not set,
the user DN is passed to the filter.
| `unmapped_groups_as_roles` | no | Specifies whether the names of any unmapped LDAP groups
should be used as role names and assigned to the user.
A group is considered to be _unmapped_ if it is not referenced
in any <<mapping-roles-file, role-mapping files>> (API based
role-mappings are not considered).
Defaults to `false`.
| `timeout.tcp_connect` | no | Specifies the TCP connect timeout period for establishing an
LDAP connection. An `s` at the end indicates seconds, or `ms`
indicates milliseconds. Defaults to `5s` (5 seconds).
| `timeout.tcp_read` | no | Specifies the TCP read timeout period after establishing an LDAP connection.
An `s` at the end indicates seconds, or `ms` indicates milliseconds.
Defaults to `5s` (5 seconds).
| `timeout.ldap_search` | no | Specifies the LDAP Server enforced timeout period for an LDAP search.
An `s` at the end indicates seconds, or `ms` indicates milliseconds.
Defaults to `5s` (5 seconds).
| `files.role_mapping` | no | Specifies the path and file name for the
<<ldap-role-mapping, YAML role mapping configuration file>>.
Defaults to `ES_HOME/config/x-pack/role_mapping.yml`.
| `follow_referrals` | no | Specifies whether {security} should follow referrals
returned by the LDAP server. Referrals are URLs returned by
the server that are to be used to continue the LDAP operation
(e.g. search). Defaults to `true`.
| `metadata` | no | Specifies the list of additional LDAP attributes that should
be stored in the `metadata` of an authenticated user.
| `ssl.key` | no | Specifies the path to the PEM encoded private key to use if the LDAP
server requires client authentication. `ssl.key` and `ssl.keystore.path`
may not be used at the same time.
| `ssl.key_passphrase` | no | Specifies the passphrase to decrypt the PEM encoded private key if it is encrypted.
| `ssl.certificate` | no | Specifies the path to the PEM encoded certificate (or certificate chain) that goes with the
key if the LDAP server requires client authentication.
| `ssl.certificate_authorities` | no | Specifies the paths to the PEM encoded certificate authority certificates that
should be trusted. `ssl.certificate_authorities` and `ssl.truststore.path` may not be used
at the same time.
| `ssl.keystore.path` | no | The path to the Java Keystore file that contains a private key and certificate. `ssl.key` and
`ssl.keystore.path` may not be used at the same time.
| `ssl.keystore.password` | no | The password to the keystore.
| `ssl.keystore.key_password` | no | The password for the key in the keystore. Defaults to the keystore password.
| `ssl.truststore.path` | no | The path to the Java Keystore file that contains the certificates to trust.
`ssl.certificate_authorities` and `ssl.truststore.path` may not be used at the same time.
| `ssl.truststore.password` | no | The password to the truststore.
| `ssl.verification_mode` | no | Specifies the type of verification to be performed when
connecting to a LDAP server using `ldaps`. When
set to `full`, the hostname or IP address used in the `url`
must match one of the names in the certificate or the
connection will not be allowed. Due to their potential security impact,
`ssl` settings are not exposed via the
{ref}/cluster-nodes-info.html#cluster-nodes-info[nodes info API].
Values are `none`, `certificate`, and `full`. Defaults to `full`.
See {ref}/security-settings.html#ssl-tls-settings[`xpack.ssl.verification_mode`]
for an explanation of these values.
| `ssl.supported_protocols` | no | Specifies the supported protocols for SSL/TLS.
| `ssl.cipher_suites` | no | Specifies the cipher suites that should be supported when communicating
with the LDAP server.

[[load-balancing]]
===== Load balancing and failover
The `load_balance.type` setting can have the following values:
* `failover`: The URLs specified are used in the order that they are specified.
The first server that can be connected to will be used for all subsequent
connections. If a connection to that server fails then the next server that a
connection can be established to will be used for subsequent connections.
* `dns_failover`: In this mode of operation, only a single URL may be specified.
This URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for all IP
addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections to the Active Directory
or LDAP server will always be tried in the order in which they were retrieved.
This differs from `failover` in that there is no reordering of the list and if a
server has failed at the beginning of the list, it will still be tried for each
subsequent connection.
* `round_robin`: Connections will continuously iterate through the list of
provided URLs. If a server is unavailable, iterating through the list of URLs
will continue until a successful connection is made.
* `dns_round_robin`: In this mode of operation, only a single URL may be
specified. This URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for all
IP addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections will continuously
iterate through the list of addresses. If a server is unavailable, iterating
through the list of URLs will continue until a successful connection is made.
