I fixed a couple more warnings and added suppressions, so that when
elastic/elasticsearchelastic/elasticsearch#13410 lands, x-plugins will not break.
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@8a19b2b71b
This change adds a new permission that allows authorized users to execute a request as
another user. The flow is as follows:
1. The user making the request is authenticated
2. The user that is being impersonated is looked up
3. The requesting user is authorized for the privilege to run as the specified user
4. The impersonated user is then authorized for the given request
Additionally, the auditing has been updated to support this capability and indicates when a
user has been granted the ability to run as another user and then also indicates both the user
who is being impersonated and the requesting user when actions are granted/denied.
Closeselastic/elasticsearch#17
Original commit: elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch@00e5a6169b
This adds the extension points necessary to enable a user to write a elasticsearch plugin
that can integrate with Shield and add a custom authentication realm. For the most part,
the work here just exposes the existing interfaces we have been using for Realms and
factories to create realms. An additional interface was added to allow for a custom
authentication failure handler to be used. This was needed to support use cases like SSO
and Kerberos where additional headers may need to be sent to the user or a different
HTTP response code would need to be sent.
