Explicitly call out the existence of the troubleshooting guide so
that hopefully users can solve common and easy problems with their
initial configuration
This is related to #36652. In 7.0 we plan to deprecate a number of
settings that make reference to the concept of a tcp transport. We
mostly just have a single transport type now (based on tcp). Settings
should only reference tcp if they are referring to socket options. This
commit updates the settings in the docs. And removes string usages of
the old settings. Additionally it adds a missing remote compress setting
to the docs.
* 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
This documents how to include the search queries in the audit log.
There is a catch, that even if enabling `emit_request_body`, which should
output queries included in request bodies, search queries were not output
because, implicitly, no REST layer audit event type was included.
This folk knowledge is herein imprinted.
This moves all Realm settings to an Affix definition.
However, because different realm types define different settings
(potentially conflicting settings) this requires that the realm type
become part of the setting key.
Thus, we now need to define realm settings as:
xpack.security.authc.realms:
file.file1:
order: 0
native.native1:
order: 1
- This is a breaking change to realm config
- This is also a breaking change to custom security realms (SecurityExtension)
Documents the new structured logfile format for auditing
that was introduced by #31931. Most changes herein
are for 6.x . In 7.0 the deprecated format is gone and a
follow-up PR is in order.
We have a Kerberos setting to remove realm part from the user
principal name (remove_realm_name). If this is true then
the realm name is removed to form username but in the process,
the realm name is lost. For scenarios like Kerberos cross-realm
authentication, one could make use of the realm name to determine
role mapping for users coming from different realms.
This commit adds user metadata for kerberos_realm and
kerberos_user_principal_name.
With features like CCR building on the CCS infrastructure, the settings
prefix search.remote makes less sense as the namespace for these remote
cluster settings than does a more general namespace like
cluster.remote. This commit replaces these settings with cluster.remote
with a fallback to the deprecated settings search.remote.
Authorization Realms allow an authenticating realm to delegate the task
of constructing a User object (with name, roles, etc) to one or more
other realms.
E.g. A client could authenticate using PKI, but then delegate to an LDAP
realm. The LDAP realm performs a "lookup" by principal, and then does
regular role-mapping from the discovered user.
This commit includes:
- authorization_realm support in the pki, ldap, saml & kerberos realms
- docs for authorization_realms
- checks that there are no "authorization chains"
(whereby "realm-a" delegates to "realm-b", but "realm-b" delegates to "realm-c")
Authorization realms is a platinum feature.

Add documentation for #31238
- Add documentation for the req_authn_context_class_ref setting
- Add a section in SAML Guide regarding the use of SAML
Authentication Context.
* Add relevant documentation for FIPS 140-2 compliance.
* Introduce `fips_mode` setting.

* [DOCS] Add configurable password hashing docs
Adds documentation about the newly introduced configuration option
for setting the password hashing algorithm to be used for the users
cache and for storing credentials for the native and file realm.
This commit adds troubleshooting section for Kerberos.
Most of the times the problems seen are caused due to invalid
configurations like keytab missing principals or credentials
not up to date. Time synchronization is an important part for
Kerberos infrastructure and the time skew can cause problems.
To debug further documentation explains how to enable JAAS
Kerberos login module debugging and Kerberos/SPNEGO debugging
by setting JVM system properties.
This commit adds documentation for configuring Kerberos realm.
Configuring Kerberos realm documentation highlights important
terminology and requirements before creating Kerberos realm.
Most of the documentation is centered around configuration from
Elasticsearch rather than go deep into Kerberos implementation.
Kerberos realm settings are mentioned in the security settings
for Kerberos realm.
Resolving wildcards in aliases expression is challenging as we may end
up with no aliases to replace the original expression with, but if we
replace with an empty array that means _all which is quite the opposite.
Now that we support and serialize the original requested aliases,
whenever aliases are replaced we will be able to know what was
initially requested. `MetaData#findAliases` can then be updated to not
return anything in case it gets empty aliases, but the original aliases
were not empty. That means that empty aliases are interpreted as _all
only if they were originally requested that way.
Relates to #31516
Remove references to the `platinum` image and add a self-generated trial
licence to the example for TLS on Docker.
