Backport of #48849. Update `.editorconfig` to make the Java settings the
default for all files, and then apply a 2-space indent to all `*.gradle`
files. Then reformat all the files.
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.

* Convert RunTask to use testclusers, remove ClusterFormationTasks
This PR adds a new RunTask and a way for it to start a
testclusters cluster out of band and block on it to replace
the old RunTask that used ClusterFormationTasks.
With this we can now remove ClusterFormationTasks.
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.
