Jay Modi 6fdad6039f Allow the Active Directory UPN authenticator to work with suffixes (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1958)
The active directory user principal name format typically takes the form user@domain, which is what
the current implementation expects. However, active directory also allows the definition of other
suffixes that are not actual domains. A user can still authenticate using this user principal name
but the behavior of our realm would cause it to fail as it parsed the suffix as a domain and used it
as the search base for the user. Instead, we should use the default user search base and only look
for entries that have this exact user principal name. In a scenario where a realm is configured for
multiple domains in the same forest, the search base should be the base for the entire forest.

Jay Modi e686d8a3bf Add active directory bind user and user lookup support (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1956)
This commit adds support for a bind user when using the active directory realm. The addition of a
bind user also enables support for the user lookup mechanism, which is necessary to support the run
as functionality that we provide.

Jay Modi 03ed2bbbd0 Add setting for the LDAP user search filter and deprecate user attribute (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1959)
This commit adds a setting to allow changing the user search filter. Previously the filter was a
simple equality filter that mapped a given attribute to the value of the username. The default
behavior remains the same with this change but provides additional flexibility to users to who may
need more advanced LDAP searches. The user attribute setting has been deprecated due to the overlap
with the new filter setting.

Tim Brooks f2cbe20ea0 Remove default passwords from reserved users (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1665)
This is related to elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1217. This PR removes the default password of
"changeme" from the reserved users.

This PR adds special behavior for authenticating the reserved users. No
ReservedRealm user can be authenticated until its password is set. The
one exception to this is the elastic user. The elastic user can be
authenticated with an empty password if the action is a rest request
originating from localhost. In this scenario where an elastic user is
authenticated with a default password, it will have metadata indicating
that it is in setup mode. An elastic user in setup mode is only
authorized to execute a change password request.

Andy Bristol 855c63dbc7 User/role names can be longer with more characters (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1745)
This changes the validation criteria we use for user and role
names in the file realm, native realm, and the
realm-agnostic code in x-pack security. The new criteria is:

A valid username's length must be at least 1 and no more than 1024
characters. It may not contain leading or trailing whitespace. All
characters in the name must be be alphanumeric (`a-z`, `A-Z`, `0-9`),
printable punctuation or symbols in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basic_Latin_(Unicode_block)[Basic Latin (ASCII) block],
or the space character.

Jay Modi f7fb02f21f Ensure we always respect a user specified filter in the AD realm (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#1161)
When the active directory realm was refactored to add support for authenticating against multiple
domains, only the default authenticator respected the user_search.filter setting. This commit moves
this down to the base authenticator and also changes the UPN filter to not include sAMAccountName
in the filter.
