The JDK bug (https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8246193) is fixed since b26.
The tests can be unmuted since we are already using b33. However the same bug is now
affecting jdk 8u262, which is the base for current Zulu jdk 8.48. This PR mute the tests
for this specific jdk version.
Relates: #56507
Now that the fix krb5-kdc fixture (entropy problem in docker container)
is in and the converting `kerberos-tests` to testclusters is done,
enabling the kerberos-tests
Closes#40678
Kibana wants to create access_token/refresh_token pair using Token
management APIs in exchange for kerberos tickets. `client_credentials`
grant_type requires every user to have `cluster:admin/xpack/security/token/create`
cluster privilege.
This commit introduces `_kerberos` grant_type for generating `access_token`
and `refresh_token` in exchange for a valid base64 encoded kerberos ticket.
In addition, `kibana_user` role now has cluster privilege to create tokens.
This allows Kibana to create access_token/refresh_token pair in exchange for
kerberos tickets.
Note:
The lifetime from the kerberos ticket is not used in ES and so even after it expires
the access_token/refresh_token pair will be valid. Care must be taken to invalidate
such tokens using token management APIs if required.
Closes#41943
We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
* This commit is part of our plan to deprecate and ultimately remove the use of _xpack in the REST APIs.
- REST API docs
- HLRC docs and doc tests
- Handle REST actions with deprecation warnings
- Changed endpoints in rest-api-spec and relevant file names
The Apache Http components support for Spnego scheme
uses canonical name by default.
Also when resolving host name, on centos by default
there are other aliases so adding them to the
DelegationPermission.
Closes#32498
This change updates KerberosAuthenticationIT to resolve the host used
to connect to the test cluster. This is needed because the host could
be an IP address but SPNEGO requires a hostname to work properly. This
is done by adding a hook in ESRestTestCase for building the HttpHost
from the host and port.
Additionally, the project now specifies the IPv4 loopback address as
the http host. This is done because we need to be able to resolve the
address used for the HTTP transport before the node starts up, but the
http.ports file is not written until the node is started.
Closes#32498
This commit adds support for Kerberos authentication with a platinum
license. Kerberos authentication support relies on SPNEGO, which is
triggered by challenging clients with a 401 response with the
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header. A SPNEGO client will then provide
a Kerberos ticket in the `Authorization` header. The tickets are
validated using Java's built-in GSS support. The JVM uses a vm wide
configuration for Kerberos, so there can be only one Kerberos realm.
This is enforced by a bootstrap check that also enforces the existence
of the keytab file.
In many cases a fallback authentication mechanism is needed when SPNEGO
authentication is not available. In order to support this, the
DefaultAuthenticationFailureHandler now takes a list of failure response
headers. For example, one realm can provide a
`WWW-Authenticate: Negotiate` header as its default and another could
provide `WWW-Authenticate: Basic` to indicate to the client that basic
authentication can be used in place of SPNEGO.
In order to test Kerberos, unit tests are run against an in-memory KDC
that is backed by an in-memory ldap server. A QA project has also been
added to test against an actual KDC, which is provided by the krb5kdc
fixture.
