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.
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.
