X-Pack security supports built-in authentication service
`token-service` that allows access tokens to be used to
access Elasticsearch without using Basic authentication.
The tokens are generated by `token-service` based on
OAuth2 spec. The access token is a short-lived token
(defaults to 20m) and refresh token with a lifetime of 24 hours,
making them unsuitable for long-lived or recurring tasks where
the system might go offline thereby failing refresh of tokens.
This commit introduces a built-in authentication service
`api-key-service` that adds support for long-lived tokens aka API
keys to access Elasticsearch. The `api-key-service` is consulted
after `token-service` in the authentication chain. By default,
if TLS is enabled then `api-key-service` is also enabled.
The service can be disabled using the configuration setting.
The API keys:-
- by default do not have an expiration but expiration can be
configured where the API keys need to be expired after a
certain amount of time.
- when generated will keep authentication information of the user that
generated them.
- can be defined with a role describing the privileges for accessing
Elasticsearch and will be limited by the role of the user that
generated them
- can be invalidated via invalidation API
- information can be retrieved via a get API
- that have been expired or invalidated will be retained for 1 week
before being deleted. The expired API keys remover task handles this.
Following are the API key management APIs:-
1. Create API Key - `PUT/POST /_security/api_key`
2. Get API key(s) - `GET /_security/api_key`
3. Invalidate API Key(s) `DELETE /_security/api_key`
The API keys can be used to access Elasticsearch using `Authorization`
header, where the auth scheme is `ApiKey` and the credentials, is the
base64 encoding of API key Id and API key separated by a colon.
Example:-
```
curl -H "Authorization: ApiKey YXBpLWtleS1pZDphcGkta2V5" http://localhost:9200/_cluster/health
```
Closes#34383
The EmptyResponse is essentially the same as returning a boolean, which
is done in other places. This commit deprecates all the existing
EmptyResponse methods and creates new boolean methods that have method
params reordered so they can exist with the deprecated methods. A
followup PR in master will remove the existing deprecated methods, fix
the parameter ordering and deprecate the incorrectly ordered parameter
methods.
Relates #36938
This change:
- Adds functionality to invalidate all (refresh+access) tokens for all users of a realm
- Adds functionality to invalidate all (refresh+access)tokens for a user in all realms
- Adds functionality to invalidate all (refresh+access) tokens for a user in a specific realm
- Changes the response format for the invalidate token API to contain information about the
number of the invalidated tokens and possible errors that were encountered.
- Updates the API Documentation
After back-porting to 6.x, the `created` field will be removed from master as a field in the
response
Resolves: #35115
Relates: #34556
This adds the _security/user/_privileges API to the High
Level Rest Client.
This also makes some changes to the Java model for the Role APIs
in order to better accommodate the GetPrivileges API
- GetSslCertificatesRequest need not implement toXContentObject
- getRequest() returns a new Request object
- Add tests for GetSslCertificatesResponse
- Adjust docs to the new format
- Add the authentication realm and lookup realm name and type in the response for the _authenticate API
- The authentication realm is set as the lookup realm too (instead of setting the lookup realm to null or empty ) when no lookup realm is used.
Update PutUserRequest to support password_hash (see: #35242)
This also updates the documentation to bring it in line with our more
recent approach to HLRC docs.
This change adds support for clearing the cache of a realm. The realms
cache may contain a stale set of credentials or incorrect role
assignment, which can be corrected by clearing the cache of the entire
realm or just that of a specific user.

This adds the security `_authenticate` API to the HLREST client.
It is unlike some of the other APIs because the request does not
have a body.
The commit also creates the `User` entity. It is important
to note that the `User` entity does not have the `enabled`
flag. The `enabled` flag is part of the response, alongside
the `User` entity.
Moreover this adds the `SecurityIT` test class
(extending `ESRestHighLevelClientTestCase`).
Relates #29827
Adds support for the Clear Roles Cache API to the High Level Rest
Client. As part of this a helper class, NodesResponseHeader, has been
added that enables parsing the nodes header from responses that are
node requests.
Relates to #29827
We added support for role mapper expression DSL in #33745,
that allows us to build the role mapper expression used in the
role mapping (as rules for determining user roles based on what
the boolean expression resolves to).
This change now adds support for create/update role mapping
API to the high-level rest client.
This change adds support for enable and disable user APIs to the high
level rest client. There is a common request base class for both
requests with specific requests that simplify the use of these APIs.
The response for these APIs is simply an empty object so a new response
class has been created for cases where we expect an empty response to
be returned.
Finally, the put user documentation has been moved to the proper
location that is not within an x-pack sub directory and the document
tags no longer contain x-pack.
