The Apache Http components support for Spnego scheme
uses canonical name by default.
Also when resolving host name, on centos by default
there are other aliases so adding them to the
DelegationPermission.
Closes#32498
This change updates KerberosAuthenticationIT to resolve the host used
to connect to the test cluster. This is needed because the host could
be an IP address but SPNEGO requires a hostname to work properly. This
is done by adding a hook in ESRestTestCase for building the HttpHost
from the host and port.
Additionally, the project now specifies the IPv4 loopback address as
the http host. This is done because we need to be able to resolve the
address used for the HTTP transport before the node starts up, but the
http.ports file is not written until the node is started.

This commit avoids dependency during compile on copy keytab to
be present in the generated sources so pre-commit does not
stall for updating vagrant box.
Closes#32387
This commit adds support for Kerberos authentication with a platinum
license. Kerberos authentication support relies on SPNEGO, which is
triggered by challenging clients with a 401 response with the
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header. A SPNEGO client will then provide
a Kerberos ticket in the `Authorization` header. The tickets are
validated using Java's built-in GSS support. The JVM uses a vm wide
configuration for Kerberos, so there can be only one Kerberos realm.
This is enforced by a bootstrap check that also enforces the existence
of the keytab file.
In many cases a fallback authentication mechanism is needed when SPNEGO
authentication is not available. In order to support this, the
DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler now takes a list of failure response
headers. For example, one realm can provide a
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header as its default and another could
provide `WWW-Authenticate: Basic` to indicate to the client that basic
authentication can be used in place of SPNEGO.
In order to test Kerberos, unit tests are run against an in-memory KDC
that is backed by an in-memory ldap server. A QA project has also been
added to test against an actual KDC, which is provided by the krb5kdc
fixture.
