This commit introduces hidden aliases. These are similar to hidden
indices, in that they are not visible by default, unless explicitly
specified by name or by indicating that hidden indices/aliases are
desired.
The new alias property, `is_hidden` is implemented similarly to
`is_write_index`, except that it must be consistent across all indices
with a given alias - that is, all indices with a given alias must
specify the alias as either hidden, or all specify it as non-hidden,
either explicitly or by omitting the `is_hidden` property.
This commit introduces a module for Kibana that exposes REST APIs that
will be used by Kibana for access to its system indices. These APIs are wrapped
versions of the existing REST endpoints. A new setting is also introduced since
the Kibana system indices' names are allowed to be changed by a user in case
multiple instances of Kibana use the same instance of Elasticsearch.
Additionally, the ThreadContext has been extended to indicate that the use of
system indices may be allowed in a request. This will be built upon in the future
for the protection of system indices.

When user A runs as user B and performs any API key related operations,
user B's realm should always be used to associate with the API key.
Currently user A's realm is used when getting or invalidating API keys
and owner=true. The PR is to fix this bug.

* Smarter copying of the rest specs and tests (#52114)
This PR addresses the unnecessary copying of the rest specs and allows
for better semantics for which specs and tests are copied. By default
the rest specs will get copied if the project applies
`elasticsearch.standalone-rest-test` or `esplugin` and the project
has rest tests or you configure the custom extension `restResources`.
This PR also removes the need for dozens of places where the x-pack
specs were copied by supporting copying of the x-pack rest specs too.
The plugin/task introduced here can also copy the rest tests to the
local project through a similar configuration.
The new plugin/task allows a user to minimize the surface area of
which rest specs are copied. Per project can be configured to include
only a subset of the specs (or tests). Configuring a project to only
copy the specs when actually needed should help with build cache hit
rates since we can better define what is actually in use.
However, project level optimizations for build cache hit rates are
not included with this PR.
Also, with this PR you can no longer use the includePackaged flag on
integTest task.
The following items are included in this PR:
* new plugin: `elasticsearch.rest-resources`
* new tasks: CopyRestApiTask and CopyRestTestsTask - performs the copy
* new extension 'restResources'
```
restResources {
restApi {
includeCore 'foo' , 'bar' //will include the core specs that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include x-pack specs that start with baz
}
restTests {
includeCore 'foo', 'bar' //will include the core tests that start with foo and bar
includeXpack 'baz' //will include the x-pack tests that start with baz
}
}

Add enterprise operation mode to properly map enterprise license.
Aslo refactor XPackLicenstate class to consolidate license status and mode checks.
This class has many sychronised methods to check basically three things:
* Minimum operation mode required
* Whether security is enabled
* Whether current license needs to be active
Depends on the actual feature, either 1, 2 or all of above checks are performed.
These are now consolidated in to 3 helper methods (2 of them are new).
The synchronization is pushed down to the helper methods so actual checking
methods no longer need to worry about it.

Currently we used the secure random number generate when generating http
request ids in the security AuditUtil. We do not need to be using this
level of randomness for this use case. Additionally, this random number
generator involves locking that blocks the http worker threads at high
concurrency loads.
This commit modifies this randomness generator to use our reproducible
randomness generator for Elasticsearch. This generator will fall back to
thread local random when used in production.
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.
ML mappings and index templates have so far been created
programmatically. While this had its merits due to static typing,
there is consensus it would be clear to maintain those in json files.
In addition, we are going to adding ILM policies to these indices
and the component for a plugin to register ILM policies is
`IndexTemplateRegistry`. It expects the templates to be in resource
json files.
For the above reasons this commit refactors ML mappings and index
templates into json resource files that are registered via
`MlIndexTemplateRegistry`.

where we extracted the Authentication/User objects from the thread
context, in a variety of ways. These have been consolidated to rely on
the SecurityContext object.

This commit changes how RestHandlers are registered with the
RestController so that a RestHandler no longer needs to register itself

including any deprecated and/or replaced combinations.
This change also makes the publication of RestHandlers safe since they
no longer publish a reference to themselves within their constructors.

BouncyCastle security provider as a test dependency too.
Some parts of the User class (e.g. equals/hashCode) assumed that

This adds a null check into the constructor and fixes a few tests that

The changes are to help users prepare for migration to next major
release (v8.0.0) regarding to the break change of realm order config.
Warnings are added for when:
* A realm does not have an order config
* Multiple realms have the same order config
The warning messages are added to both deprecation API and loggings.
The main reasons for doing this are: 1) there is currently no automatic relay
between the two; 2) deprecation API is under basic and we need logging
for OSS.
This commit switches the strategy for managing dot-prefixed indices that
should be hidden indices from using "fake" system indices to an explicit
exclusions list that must be updated when those indices are converted to
hidden indices.
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.

The timeout.tcp_read AD/LDAP realm setting, despite the low-level
allusion, controls the time interval the realms wait for a response for
a query (search or bind). If the connection to the server is synchronous
(un-pooled) the response timeout is analogous to the tcp read timeout.
But the tcp read timeout is irrelevant in the common case of a pooled
connection (when a Bind DN is specified).
The timeout.tcp_read qualifier is hereby deprecated in favor of
timeout.response.
In addition, the default value for both timeout.tcp_read and
timeout.response is that of timeout.ldap_search, instead of the 5s (but
the default for timeout.ldap_search is still 5s). The
timeout.ldap_search defines the server-controlled timeout of a search
request. There is no practical use case to have a smaller tcp_read
timeout compared to ldap_search (in this case the request would time-out
on the client but continue to be processed on the server). The proposed
change aims to simplify configuration so that the more common
configuration change, adjusting timeout.ldap_search up, has the expected
result (no timeout during searches) without any additional
modifications.
Closes#46028
This commit deprecates the creation of dot-prefixed index names (e.g.
.watches) unless they are either 1) a hidden index, or 2) registered by
a plugin that extends SystemIndexPlugin. This is the first step
towards more thorough protections for system indices.
This commit also modifies several plugins which use dot-prefixed indices
to register indices they own as system indices, and adds a plugin to
register .tasks as a system index.
The docs tests have recently been running much slower than before (see #49753).
The gist here is that with ILM/SLM we do a lot of unnecessary setup / teardown work on each
test. Compounded with the slightly slower cluster state storage mechanism, this causes the
tests to run much slower.

* Restore behavior for force parameter (#44847)
Turns out that the behavior of `-f` for the add and add-file sub
commands where it would also forcibly create the keystore if it
didn't exist, was by design - although undocumented.
This change restores that behavior auto-creating a keystore that
is not password protected if the force flag is used. The force
OptionSpec is moved to the BaseKeyStoreCommand as we will presumably
want to maintain the same behavior in any other command that takes
a force option.
* Handle pwd protected keystores in all CLI tools (#45289)
This change ensures that `elasticsearch-setup-passwords` and
`elasticsearch-saml-metadata` can handle a password protected
elasticsearch.keystore.
For setup passwords the user would be prompted to add the
elasticsearch keystore password upon running the tool. There is no
option to pass the password as a parameter as we assume the user is
present in order to enter the desired passwords for the built-in
users.
For saml-metadata, we prompt for the keystore password at all times
even though we'd only need to read something from the keystore when
there is a signing or encryption configuration.
* Modify docs for setup passwords and saml metadata cli (#45797)
Adds a sentence in the documentation of `elasticsearch-setup-passwords`
and `elasticsearch-saml-metadata` to describe that users would be
prompted for the keystore's password when running these CLI tools,
when the keystore is password protected.

* Elasticsearch keystore passphrase for startup scripts (#44775)
This commit allows a user to provide a keystore password on Elasticsearch
startup, but only prompts when the keystore exists and is encrypted.
The entrypoint in Java code is standard input. When the Bootstrap class is
checking for secure keystore settings, it checks whether or not the keystore
is encrypted. If so, we read one line from standard input and use this as the
password. For simplicity's sake, we allow a maximum passphrase length of 128
characters. (This is an arbitrary limit and could be increased or eliminated.
It is also enforced in the keystore tools, so that a user can't create a
password that's too long to enter at startup.)
In order to provide a password on standard input, we have to account for four
different ways of starting Elasticsearch: the bash startup script, the Windows
batch startup script, systemd startup, and docker startup. We use wrapper
scripts to reduce systemd and docker to the bash case: in both cases, a
wrapper script can read a passphrase from the filesystem and pass it to the
bash script.
In order to simplify testing the need for a passphrase, I have added a
has-passwd command to the keystore tool. This command can run silently, and
exit with status 0 when the keystore has a password. It exits with status 1 if
the keystore doesn't exist or exists and is unencrypted.
A good deal of the code-change in this commit has to do with refactoring
packaging tests to cleanly use the same tests for both the "archive" and the
"package" cases. This required not only moving tests around, but also adding
some convenience methods for an abstraction layer over distribution-specific
commands.
* Adjust docs for password protected keystore (#45054)
This commit adds relevant parts in the elasticsearch-keystore
sub-commands reference docs and in the reload secure settings API
doc.
* Fix failing Keystore Passphrase test for feature branch (#50154)
One problem with the passphrase-from-file tests, as written, is that
they would leave a SystemD environment variable set when they failed,
and this setting would cause elasticsearch startup to fail for other
tests as well. By using a try-finally, I hope that these tests will fail
more gracefully.
It appears that our Fedora and Ubuntu environments may be configured to
store journald information under /var rather than under /run, so that it
will persist between boots. Our destructive tests that read from the
journal need to account for this in order to avoid trying to limit the
output we check in tests.
* Run keystore management tests on docker distros (#50610)
* Add Docker handling to PackagingTestCase
Keystore tests need to be able to run in the Docker case. We can do this
by using a DockerShell instead of a plain Shell when Docker is running.
* Improve ES startup check for docker
Previously we were checking truncated output for the packaged JDK as
an indication that Elasticsearch had started. With new preliminary
password checks, we might get a false positive from ES keystore
commands, so we have to check specifically that the Elasticsearch
class from the Bootstrap package is what's running.
* Test password-protected keystore with Docker (#50803)
This commit adds two tests for the case where we mount a
password-protected keystore into a Docker container and provide a
password via a Docker environment variable.
We also fix a logging bug where we were logging the identifier for an
array of strings rather than the contents of that array.
* Add documentation for keystore startup prompting (#50821)
When a keystore is password-protected, Elasticsearch will prompt at
startup. This commit adds documentation for this prompt for the archive,
systemd, and Docker cases.

* Warn when unable to upgrade keystore on debian (#51011)
For Red Hat RPM upgrades, we warn if we can't upgrade the keystore. This
commit brings the same logic to the code for Debian packages. See the
posttrans file for gets executed for RPMs.
* Restore handling of string input
Adds tests that were mistakenly removed. One of these tests proved
we were not handling the the stdin (-x) option correctly when no
input was added. This commit restores the original approach of
reading stdin one char at a time until there is no more (-1, \r, \n)
instead of using readline() that might return null
* Apply spotless reformatting
* Use '--since' flag to get recent journal messages
When we get Elasticsearch logs from journald, we want to fetch only log
messages from the last run. There are two reasons for this. First, if
there are many logs, we might get a string that's too large for our
utility methods. Second, when we're looking for a specific message or
error, we almost certainly want to look only at messages from the last
execution.
Previously, we've been trying to do this by clearing out the physical
files under the journald process. But there seems to be some contention
over these directories: if journald writes a log file in between when
our deletion command deletes the file and when it deletes the log
directory, the deletion will fail.
It seems to me that we might be able to use journald's "--since" flag to
retrieve only log messages from the last run, and that this might be
less likely to fail due to race conditions in file deletion.
Unfortunately, it looks as if the "--since" flag has a granularity of
one-second. I've added a two-second sleep to make sure that there's a
sufficient gap between the test that will read from journald and the
test before it.

This commit sets `xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust` to false in all
of our tests when running in FIPS 140 mode and when settings objects
are used to create an instance of the SSLService. This is needed
in 7.x because setting xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust to true
wraps SunJSSE TrustManager with our own DiagnosticTrustManager and
this is not allowed when SunJSSE is in FIPS mode.
An alternative would be to set xpack.security.fips.enabled to
true which would also implicitly disable
xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust but would have additional effects
(would require that we set PBKDF2 for password hashing algorithm in
all test clusters, would prohibit using JKS keystores in nodes even
if relevant tests have been muted in FIPS mode etc.)

Closes#51428
* Unused imports removed
This change changes the way to run our test suites in
JVMs configured in FIPS 140 approved mode. It does so by:
- Configuring any given runtime Java in FIPS mode with the bundled
policy and security properties files, setting the system
properties java.security.properties and java.security.policy
with the == operator that overrides the default JVM properties
and policy.
- When runtime java is 11 and higher, using BouncyCastle FIPS
Cryptographic provider and BCJSSE in FIPS mode. These are
used as testRuntime dependencies for unit
tests and internal clusters, and copied (relevant jars)
explicitly to the lib directory for testclusters used in REST tests
- When runtime java is 8, using BouncyCastle FIPS
Cryptographic provider and SunJSSE in FIPS mode.
Running the tests in FIPS 140 approved mode doesn't require an
additional configuration either in CI workers or locally and is
controlled by specifying -Dtests.fips.enabled=true
The ApiKeyService would aggressively "close" ApiKeyCredentials objects
during processing. However, under rare circumstances, the verfication
of the secret key would be performed asychronously and may need access
to the SecureString after it had been closed by the caller.
The trigger for this would be if the cache already held a Future for
that ApiKey, but the future was not yet complete. In this case the
verification of the secret key would take place asynchronously on the
generic thread pool.
This commit moves the "close" of the credentials to the body of the
listener so that it only occurs after key verification is complete.

API Key expiration value has millisecond precision as we use
{@link Instant#toEpoqueMilli()} when creating the API key
document.
It could often happen that `Instant.now()` Instant in the testCreateApiKey
was close enough to the ApiKeyService's `clock.instant()` Instant,
when the nanos were removed from the latter ( due to the call
to `toEpoqueMilli()` ) the result of comparing these two Instants
was a few nanos short of a 7 days.

This change introduces a new feature for indices so that they can be
hidden from wildcard expansion. The feature is referred to as hidden
indices. An index can be marked hidden through the use of an index
setting, `index.hidden`, at creation time. One primary use case for
this feature is to have a construct that fits indices that are created
by the stack that contain data used for display to the user and/or
intended for querying by the user. The desire to keep them hidden is
to avoid confusing users when searching all of the data they have
indexed and getting results returned from indices created by the
system.
Hidden indices have the following properties:
* API calls for all indices (empty indices array, _all, or *) will not
return hidden indices by default.
* Wildcard expansion will not return hidden indices by default unless
the wildcard pattern begins with a `.`. This behavior is similar to
shell expansion of wildcards.
* REST API calls can enable the expansion of wildcards to hidden
indices with the `expand_wildcards` parameter. To expand wildcards
to hidden indices, use the value `hidden` in conjunction with `open`
and/or `closed`.
* Creation of a hidden index will ignore global index templates. A
global index template is one with a match-all pattern.
* Index templates can make an index hidden, with the exception of a
global index template.
* Accessing a hidden index directly requires no additional parameters.

we do not fallback to authenticating as the anonymous user even if
anonymous access is enabled for Elasticsearch.
When we receive a request with an Authorization header that contains
a Bearer token that is not generated by us or that is malformed in
some way, attempting to decode it as one of our own might cause a
number of exceptions that are not IOExceptions. This commit ensures
that we catch and log these too and call onResponse with `null, so
that we can return 401 instead of 500.

Previously custom realms were limited in what services and components
they had easy access to. It was possible to work around this because a
security extension is packaged within a Plugin, so there were ways to
store this components in static/SetOnce variables and access them from
the realm, but those techniques were fragile, undocumented and
difficult to discover.
This change includes key services as an argument to most of the methods
on SecurityExtension so that custom realm / role provider authors can
have easy access to them.

The Document Level Security BitSet cache stores a secondary "lookup
map" so that it can determine which cache entries to invalidate when
a Lucene index is closed (merged, etc).
There was a memory leak because this secondary map was not cleared

limits).
This has been solved by adding a cache removal listener and processing
those removal events asyncronously.

This commit changes the default behavior for
xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust when running in a FIPS 140 JVM.
More specifically, when xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled is true:
- If xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust is not explicitly set, the
default value of it becomes false and a log message is printed
on info level, notifying of the fact that the TLS/SSL diagnostic
messages are not enabled when in a FIPS 140 JVM.
- If xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust is explicitly set, the value of
it is honored, even in FIPS mode.
This is relevant only for 7.x where we support Java 8 in which
SunJSSE can still be used as a FIPS 140 provider for TLS. SunJSSE
in FIPS mode, disallows the use of other TrustManager implementations
than the one shipped with SunJSSE.
Hide the `.async-search-*` in Security by making it a restricted index namespace.
The namespace is hard-coded.
To grant privileges on restricted indices, one must explicitly toggle the
`allow_restricted_indices` flag in the indices permission in the role definition.
As is the case with any other index, if a certain user lacks all permissions for an
index, that index is effectively nonexistent for that user.
