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.
Relates #33205
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 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.
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.
