* Swaps outdated index patterns for the default `logstash` index alias.
Adds some related information about Logstash ILM defaults to the callout.
* Swaps `*.raw` fields for `*.keyword` fields. The Logstash template
uses `keyword` fields by default since 6.x.
* Swaps instances of `ctx.payload.hits.total.value` with
`ctx.payload.hits.total`
Fixes#56164. A minor update in the documentation, API key name is required when creating API key. If the API key name is not provided then the request will fail.
This commit fixes our behavior regarding the responses we
return in various cases for the use of token related APIs.
More concretely:
- In the Get Token API with the `refresh` grant, when an invalid
(already deleted, malformed, unknown) refresh token is used in the
body of the request, we respond with `400` HTTP status code
and an `error_description` header with the message "could not
refresh the requested token".
Previously we would return erroneously return a `401` with "token
malformed" message.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when using an invalid (already
deleted, malformed, unknown) access or refresh token, we respond
with `404` and a body that shows that no tokens were invalidated:
```
{
"invalidated_tokens":0,
"previously_invalidated_tokens":0,
"error_count":0
}
```
The previous behavior would be to erroneously return
a `400` or `401` ( depending on the case ).
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index doesn't
exist or is closed, we return `400` because we assume this is
a user issue either because they tried to invalidate a token
when there is no tokens index yet ( i.e. no tokens have
been created yet or the tokens index has been deleted ) or the
index is closed.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index is
unavailable, we return a `503` status code because
we want to signal to the caller of the API that the token they
tried to invalidate was not invalidated and we can't be sure
if it is still valid or not, and that they should try the request
again.

Role names are now compiled from role templates before role mapping is saved.
This serves as validation for role templates to prevent malformed and invalid scripts
to be persisted, which could later break authentication.
Resolves: #48773
The existing wording in the file realm docs proved confusing
for users as it seemed to indicate that it should _only_ be
used as a fallback/recovery realm and that it is not a
first class realm.
This change attempts to clarify this and point out that recovery
is _a_ use case for the file realm but not the only intended one.
This is useful in cases where the caller of the API needs to know
the name of the realm that consumed the SAML Response and
authenticated the user and this is not self evident (i.e. because
there are many saml realms defined in ES).
Currently, the way to learn the realm name would be to make a
subsequent request to the `_authenticate` API.
The main purpose of this commit is to add a single autoscaling REST
endpoint skeleton, for the purpose of starting to build out the build
and testing infrastructure that will surround it. For example, rather
than commiting a fully-functioning autoscaling API, we introduce here
the skeleton so that we can start wiring up the build and testing
infrastructure, establish security roles/permissions, an so on. This
way, in a forthcoming PR that introduces actual functionality, that PR
will be smaller and have less distractions around that sort of
infrastructure.
This commit creates a new index privilege named `maintenance`.
The privilege grants the following actions: `refresh`, `flush` (also synced-`flush`),
and `force-merge`. Previously the actions were only under the `manage` privilege
which in some situations was too permissive.

With elastic/elasticsearch#35848, users can now retrieve total hits as an integer when the `rest_total_hits_as_int` query parameter is `true`. This is the default value.
This updates several snippet examples in the Watcher docs that used a workaround to get a total hits integer.
This change adds a new `kibana_admin` role, and deprecates
the old `kibana_user` and`kibana_dashboard_only_user`roles.
The deprecation is implemented via a new reserved metadata
attribute, which can be consumed from the API and also triggers
deprecation logging when used (by a user authenticating to
Elasticsearch).
Some docs have been updated to avoid references to these
deprecated roles.

This adds a new cluster privilege `monitor_snapshot` which is a restricted
version of `create_snapshot`, granting the same privileges to view
snapshot and repository info and status but not granting the actual
privilege to create a snapshot.

PR #44238 changed several links related to the Elasticsearch search request body API. This updates several places still using outdated links or anchors.
This will ultimately let us remove some redirects related to those link changes.
The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Backport of #49612.
The current Docker entrypoint script picks up environment variables and
translates them into -E command line arguments. However, since any tool
executes via `docker exec` doesn't run the entrypoint, it results in
a poorer user experience.
Therefore, refactor the env var handling so that the -E options are
generated in `elasticsearch-env`. These have to be appended to any
existing command arguments, since some CLI tools have subcommands and
-E arguments must come after the subcommand.
Also extract the support for `_FILE` env vars into a separate script, so
that it can be called from more than once place (the behaviour is
idempotent).
Finally, add noop -E handling to CronEvalTool for parity, and support
`-E` in MultiCommand before subcommands.
Our documentation regarding FIPS 140 claimed that when using SAML
in a JVM that is configured in FIPS approved only mode, one could
not use encrypted assertions. This stemmed from a wrong
understanding regarding the compliance of RSA-OAEP which is used
as the key wrapping algorithm for encrypting the key with which the
SAML Assertion is encrypted.
However, as stated for instance in
https://downloads.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/BC-FJA-SecurityPolicy-1.0.0.pdf
RSA-OAEP is approved for key transport, so this limitation is not
effective.
This change removes the limitation from our FIPS 140 related
documentation.
- Section about the case where the `principal` user property can't
be mapped.
- Section about when the IdP SAML metadata do not contain a
SingleSignOnService that supports HTTP-Redirect binding.

Make clear in the docs that the role mapping APIs is the preferred
way to manage role mappings and that the role mappings that are
defined in files cannot be viewed or managed with the APIs
This change adds documentation for the SAML APIs in Elasticsearch
and adds simple instructions on how these APIs can be used to
authenticate a user with SAML by a custom web application other
than Kibana.
Resolves: #40352
This commit adds documentation for new index privilege
create_doc which only allows indexing of new documents
but no updates to existing documents via Index or Bulk APIs.
Relates: #45806
Use case:
User with `create_doc` index privilege will be allowed to only index new documents
either via Index API or Bulk API.
There are two cases that we need to think:
- **User indexing a new document without specifying an Id.**
For this ES auto generates an Id and now ES version 7.5.0 onwards defaults to `op_type` `create` we just need to authorize on the `op_type`.
- **User indexing a new document with an Id.**
This is problematic as we do not know whether a document with Id exists or not.
If the `op_type` is `create` then we can assume the user is trying to add a document, if it exists it is going to throw an error from the index engine.
Given these both cases, we can safely authorize based on the `op_type` value. If the value is `create` then the user with `create_doc` privilege is authorized to index new documents.
In the `AuthorizationService` when authorizing a bulk request, we check the implied action.
This code changes that to append the `:op_type/index` or `:op_type/create`
to indicate the implied index action.
This commit adds support to retrieve all API keys if the authenticated
user is authorized to do so.
This removes the restriction of specifying one of the
parameters (like id, name, username and/or realm name)
when the `owner` is set to `false`.
Closes#46887
This commit adds the documentation to point the user that when one
creates API keys with no role descriptor specified then that API
key will have a point in time snapshot of user permissions.
Closes#46876
This commit clarifies and points out that the Role management UI and
the Role management API cannot be used to manage roles that are
defined in roles.yml and that file based role management is
intended to have a small administrative scope and not handle all
possible RBAC use cases.
