This commit fixes our behavior regarding the responses we
return in various cases for the use of token related APIs.
More concretely:
- In the Get Token API with the `refresh` grant, when an invalid
(already deleted, malformed, unknown) refresh token is used in the
body of the request, we respond with `400` HTTP status code
and an `error_description` header with the message "could not
refresh the requested token".
Previously we would return erroneously return a `401` with "token
malformed" message.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when using an invalid (already
deleted, malformed, unknown) access or refresh token, we respond
with `404` and a body that shows that no tokens were invalidated:
```
{
"invalidated_tokens":0,
"previously_invalidated_tokens":0,
"error_count":0
}
```
The previous behavior would be to erroneously return
a `400` or `401` ( depending on the case ).
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index doesn't
exist or is closed, we return `400` because we assume this is
a user issue either because they tried to invalidate a token
when there is no tokens index yet ( i.e. no tokens have
been created yet or the tokens index has been deleted ) or the
index is closed.
- In the Invalidate Token API, when the tokens index is
unavailable, we return a `503` status code because
we want to signal to the caller of the API that the token they
tried to invalidate was not invalidated and we can't be sure
if it is still valid or not, and that they should try the request
again.
Resolves: #53323
Role names are now compiled from role templates before role mapping is saved.
This serves as validation for role templates to prevent malformed and invalid scripts
to be persisted, which could later break authentication.
Resolves: #48773
This is useful in cases where the caller of the API needs to know
the name of the realm that consumed the SAML Response and
authenticated the user and this is not self evident (i.e. because
there are many saml realms defined in ES).
Currently, the way to learn the realm name would be to make a
subsequent request to the `_authenticate` API.
The main purpose of this commit is to add a single autoscaling REST
endpoint skeleton, for the purpose of starting to build out the build
and testing infrastructure that will surround it. For example, rather
than commiting a fully-functioning autoscaling API, we introduce here
the skeleton so that we can start wiring up the build and testing
infrastructure, establish security roles/permissions, an so on. This
way, in a forthcoming PR that introduces actual functionality, that PR
will be smaller and have less distractions around that sort of
infrastructure.
This commit creates a new index privilege named `maintenance`.
The privilege grants the following actions: `refresh`, `flush` (also synced-`flush`),
and `force-merge`. Previously the actions were only under the `manage` privilege
which in some situations was too permissive.

This adds a new cluster privilege `monitor_snapshot` which is a restricted
version of `create_snapshot`, granting the same privileges to view
snapshot and repository info and status but not granting the actual
privilege to create a snapshot.

The docs/reference/redirects.asciidoc file stores a list of relocated or
deleted pages for the Elasticsearch Reference documentation.
This prunes several older redirects that are no longer needed and
don't require work to fix broken links in other repositories.
Make clear in the docs that the role mapping APIs is the preferred
way to manage role mappings and that the role mappings that are
defined in files cannot be viewed or managed with the APIs
This change adds documentation for the SAML APIs in Elasticsearch
and adds simple instructions on how these APIs can be used to
authenticate a user with SAML by a custom web application other
than Kibana.
Resolves: #40352
Use case:
User with `create_doc` index privilege will be allowed to only index new documents
either via Index API or Bulk API.
There are two cases that we need to think:
- **User indexing a new document without specifying an Id.**
For this ES auto generates an Id and now ES version 7.5.0 onwards defaults to `op_type` `create` we just need to authorize on the `op_type`.
- **User indexing a new document with an Id.**
This is problematic as we do not know whether a document with Id exists or not.
If the `op_type` is `create` then we can assume the user is trying to add a document, if it exists it is going to throw an error from the index engine.
Given these both cases, we can safely authorize based on the `op_type` value. If the value is `create` then the user with `create_doc` privilege is authorized to index new documents.
In the `AuthorizationService` when authorizing a bulk request, we check the implied action.
This code changes that to append the `:op_type/index` or `:op_type/create`
to indicate the implied index action.
This commit adds support to retrieve all API keys if the authenticated
user is authorized to do so.
This removes the restriction of specifying one of the
parameters (like id, name, username and/or realm name)
when the `owner` is set to `false`.
Closes#46887
This commit adds the documentation to point the user that when one
creates API keys with no role descriptor specified then that API
key will have a point in time snapshot of user permissions.
Closes#46876
This commit clarifies and points out that the Role management UI and
the Role management API cannot be used to manage roles that are
defined in roles.yml and that file based role management is
intended to have a small administrative scope and not handle all
possible RBAC use cases.
The existing privilege model for API keys with privileges like
`manage_api_key`, `manage_security` etc. are too permissive and
we would want finer-grained control over the cluster privileges
for API keys. Previously APIs created would also need these
privileges to get its own information.
This commit adds support for `manage_own_api_key` cluster privilege
which only allows api key cluster actions on API keys owned by the
currently authenticated user. Also adds support for retrieval of
the API key self-information when authenticating via API key
without the need for the additional API key privileges.
To support this privilege, we are introducing additional
authentication context along with the request context such that
it can be used to authorize cluster actions based on the current
user authentication.
The API key get and invalidate APIs introduce an `owner` flag
that can be set to true if the API key request (Get or Invalidate)
is for the API keys owned by the currently authenticated user only.
In that case, `realm` and `username` cannot be set as they are
assumed to be the currently authenticated ones.
The changes cover HLRC changes, documentation for the API changes.
Closes#40031
This commit introduces PKI realm delegation. This feature
supports the PKI authentication feature in Kibana.
In essence, this creates a new API endpoint which Kibana must
call to authenticate clients that use certificates in their TLS
connection to Kibana. The API call passes to Elasticsearch the client's
certificate chain. The response contains an access token to be further
used to authenticate as the client. The client's certificates are validated
by the PKI realms that have been explicitly configured to permit
certificates from the proxy (Kibana). The user calling the delegation
API must have the delegate_pki privilege.
Closes#34396
This commit allows the Transport Actions for the SSO realms to
indicate the realm that should be used to authenticate the
constructed AuthenticationToken. This is useful in the case that
many authentication realms of the same type have been configured
and where the caller of the API(Kibana or a custom web app) already
know which realm should be used so there is no need to iterate all
the realms of the same type.
The realm parameter is added in the relevant REST APIs as optional
so as not to introduce any breaking change.
