Test clusters currently has its own set of logic for dealing with
finding different versions of Elasticsearch, downloading them, and
extracting them. This commit converts testclusters to use the
DistributionDownloadPlugin.
For some users, the built in authorization mechanism does not fit their
needs and no feature that we offer would allow them to control the
authorization process to meet their needs. In order to support this,
a concept of an AuthorizationEngine is being introduced, which can be
provided using the security extension mechanism.
An AuthorizationEngine is responsible for making the authorization
decisions about a request. The engine is responsible for knowing how to
authorize and can be backed by whatever mechanism a user wants. The
default mechanism is one backed by roles to provide the authorization
decisions. The AuthorizationEngine will be called by the
AuthorizationService, which handles more of the internal workings that
apply in general to authorization within Elasticsearch.
In order to support external authorization services that would back an
authorization engine, the entire authorization process has become
asynchronous, which also includes all calls to the AuthorizationEngine.
The use of roles also leaked out of the AuthorizationService in our
existing code that is not specifically related to roles so this also
needed to be addressed. RequestInterceptor instances sometimes used a
role to ensure a user was not attempting to escalate their privileges.
Addressing this leakage of roles meant that the RequestInterceptor
execution needed to move within the AuthorizationService and that
AuthorizationEngines needed to support detection of whether a user has
more privileges on a name than another. The second area where roles
leaked to the user is in the handling of a few privilege APIs that
could be used to retrieve the user's privileges or ask if a user has
privileges to perform an action. To remove the leakage of roles from
these actions, the AuthorizationService and AuthorizationEngine gained
methods that enabled an AuthorizationEngine to return the response for
these APIs.
Ultimately this feature is the work included in:
#37785#37495#37328#36245#38137#38219Closes#32435
The integ tests currently use the raw zip project name as the
distribution type. This commit simplifies this specification to be
"default" or "oss". Whether zip or tar is used should be an internal
implementation detail of the integ test setup, which can (in the future)
be platform specific.
This commit removes the use of AbstractComponent in xpack where it was
still being extended. It has been replaced with explicit logger
declarations.
See #34488
The DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler has a deprecated constructor
that was present to prevent a breaking change to custom realm plugin
authors in 6.x. This commit removes the constructor and its uses.
This moves all Realm settings to an Affix definition.
However, because different realm types define different settings
(potentially conflicting settings) this requires that the realm type
become part of the setting key.
Thus, we now need to define realm settings as:
xpack.security.authc.realms:
file.file1:
order: 0
native.native1:
order: 1
- This is a breaking change to realm config
- This is also a breaking change to custom security realms (SecurityExtension)
Stop passing `Settings` to `AbstractComponent`'s ctor. This allows us to
stop passing around `Settings` in a *ton* of places. While this change
touches many files, it touches them all in fairly small, mechanical
ways, doing a few things per file:
1. Drop the `super(settings);` line on everything that extends
`AbstractComponent`.
2. Drop the `settings` argument to the ctor if it is no longer used.
3. If the file doesn't use `logger` then drop `extends
AbstractComponent` from it.
4. Clean up all compilation failure caused by the `settings` removal
and drop any now unused `settings` isntances and method arguments.
I've intentionally *not* removed the `settings` argument from a few
files:
1. TransportAction
2. AbstractLifecycleComponent
3. BaseRestHandler
These files don't *need* `settings` either, but this change is large
enough as is.

Security caches the result of role lookups and negative lookups are
cached indefinitely. In the case of transient failures this leads to a
bad experience as the roles could truly exist. The CompositeRolesStore
needs to know if a failure occurred in one of the roles stores in order
to make the appropriate decision as it relates to caching. In order to
provide this information to the CompositeRolesStore, the return type of
methods to retrieve roles has changed to a new class,
RoleRetrievalResult. This class provides the ability to pass back an
exception to the roles store. This exception does not mean that a
request should be failed but instead serves as a signal to the roles
store that missing roles should not be cached and neither should the
combined role if there are missing roles.
As part of this, the negative lookup cache was also changed from an
unbounded cache to a cache with a configurable limit.

This commit removes the unused User class from the protocol project.
This class was originally moved into protocol in preparation for moving
more request and response classes, but given the change in direction
for the HLRC this is no longer needed. Additionally, this change also
changes the package name for the User object in x-pack/plugin/core to
its original name.
This reworks how we configure the `shadow` plugin in the build. The major
change is that we no longer bundle dependencies in the `compile` configuration,
instead we bundle dependencies in the new `bundle` configuration. This feels
more right because it is a little more "opt in" rather than "opt out" and the
name of the `bundle` configuration is a little more obvious.
As an neat side effect of this, the `runtimeElements` configuration used when
one project depends on another now contains exactly the dependencies needed
to run the project so you no longer need to reference projects that use the
shadow plugin like this:
```
testCompile project(path: ':client:rest-high-level', configuration: 'shadow')
```
You can instead use the much more normal:
```
testCompile "org.elasticsearch.client:elasticsearch-rest-high-level-client:${version}"
```
This change cleans up some methods in the CharArrays class from x-pack, which
includes the unification of char[] to utf8 and utf8 to char[] conversions that
intentionally do not use strings. There was previously an implementation in
x-pack and in the reloading of secure settings. The method from the reloading
of secure settings was adopted as it handled more scenarios related to the
backing byte and char buffers that were used to perform the conversions. The
cleaned up class is moved into libs/core to allow it to be used by requests
that will be migrated to the high level rest client.
Relates #32332
The User class has been moved to the protocol project for upcoming work
to add more security APIs to the high level rest client. As part of
this change, the toString method no longer uses a custom output method
from MetadataUtils and instead just relies on Java's toString
implementation.
This commit does the following:
- renames index-lifecycle plugin to ilm
- modifies the endpoints to ilm instead of index_lifecycle
- drops _xpack from the endpoints
- drops a few duplicate endpoints
In #29623 we added `Request` object flavored requests to the low level
REST client and in #30315 we deprecated the old `performRequest`s. This
changes all calls in the `x-pack/qa/security-example-spi-extension`
project to use the new versions.
This bundles the x-pack:protocol project into the x-pack:plugin:core
project because we'd like folks to consider it an implementation detail
of our build rather than a separate artifact to be managed and depended
on. It is now bundled into both x-pack:plugin:core and
client:rest-high-level. To make this work I had to fix a few things.
Firstly, I had to make PluginBuildPlugin work with the shadow plugin.
In that case we have to bundle only the `shadow` dependencies and the
shadow jar.
Secondly, every reference to x-pack:plugin:core has to use the `shadow`
configuration. Without that the reference is missing all of the
un-shadowed dependencies. I tried to make it so that applying the shadow
plugin automatically redefines the `default` configuration to mirror the
`shadow` configuration which would allow us to use bare project references
to the x-pack:plugin:core project but I couldn't make it work. It'd *look*
like it works but then fail for transitive dependencies anyway. I think
it is still a good thing to do but I don't have the willpower to do it
now.
Finally, I had to fix an issue where Eclipse and IntelliJ didn't properly
reference shadowed transitive dependencies. Neither IDE supports shadowing
natively so they have to reference the shadowed projects. We fix this by
detecting `shadow` dependencies when in "Intellij mode" or "Eclipse mode"
and adding `runtime` dependencies to the same target. This convinces
IntelliJ and Eclipse to play nice.
Make password hashing algorithm/cost configurable for the
stored passwords of users for the realms that this applies
(native, reserved). Replaces predefined choice of bcrypt with
cost factor 10.
This also introduces PBKDF2 with configurable cost
(number of iterations) as an algorithm option for password hashing
both for storing passwords and for the user cache.
Password hash validation algorithm selection takes into
consideration the stored hash prefix and only a specific number
of algorithnm and cost factor options for brypt and pbkdf2 are
whitelisted and can be selected in the relevant setting.
This commit upgrades us to Netty 4.1.25. This upgrade is more
challenging than past upgrades, all because of a new object cleaner
thread that they have added. This thread requires an additional security
permission (set context class loader, needed to avoid leaks in certain
scenarios). Additionally, there is not a clean way to shutdown this
thread which means that the thread can fail thread leak control during
tests. As such, we have to filter this thread from thread leak control.
This commit makes x-pack a module and adds it to the default
distrubtion. It also creates distributions for zip, tar, deb and rpm
which contain only oss code.
