Our documentation regarding FIPS 140 claimed that when using SAML
in a JVM that is configured in FIPS approved only mode, one could
not use encrypted assertions. This stemmed from a wrong
understanding regarding the compliance of RSA-OAEP which is used
as the key wrapping algorithm for encrypting the key with which the
SAML Assertion is encrypted.
However, as stated for instance in
https://downloads.bouncycastle.org/fips-java/BC-FJA-SecurityPolicy-1.0.0.pdf
RSA-OAEP is approved for key transport, so this limitation is not
effective.
This change removes the limitation from our FIPS 140 related
documentation.
- Section about the case where the `principal` user property can't
be mapped.
- Section about when the IdP SAML metadata do not contain a
SingleSignOnService that supports HTTP-Redirect binding.

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
This commit adds documentation for new index privilege
create_doc which only allows indexing of new documents
but no updates to existing documents via Index or Bulk APIs.
Relates: #45806
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.
Prior to this commit the foreach action execution had a hard coded
limit to 100 iterations. This commit allows the max number of
iterations to be a configuration ('max_iterations') on the foreach
action. The default remains 100.
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.
The Get Users API also returns users form the restricted realm or built-in users,
as we call them in our docs. One can also change the passwords of built-in
users with the Change Password API
Since 7.3, it's possible to explicitly configure the SAML realm to
be used in Kibana's configuration. This in turn, eliminates the need
of properly setting `xpack.security.public.*` settings in Kibana
and largely simplifies relevant documentation.
This also changes `xpack.security.authProviders` to
`xpack.security.authc.providers` as the former was deprecated in
favor of the latter in 7.3 in Kibana
* Add Snapshot Lifecycle Management (#43934)
* Add SnapshotLifecycleService and related CRUD APIs
This commit adds `SnapshotLifecycleService` as a new service under the ilm
plugin. This service handles snapshot lifecycle policies by scheduling based on
the policies defined schedule.
This also includes the get, put, and delete APIs for these policies
Relates to #38461
* Make scheduledJobIds return an immutable set
* Use Object.equals for SnapshotLifecyclePolicy
* Remove unneeded TODO
* Implement ToXContentFragment on SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem
* Copy contents of the scheduledJobIds
* Handle snapshot lifecycle policy updates and deletions (#40062)
(Note this is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` feature branch)
This adds logic to `SnapshotLifecycleService` to handle updates and deletes for
snapshot policies. Policies with incremented versions have the old policy
cancelled and the new one scheduled. Deleted policies have their schedules
cancelled when they are no longer present in the cluster state metadata.
Relates to #38461
* Take a snapshot for the policy when the SLM policy is triggered (#40383)
(This is a PR for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This commit fills in `SnapshotLifecycleTask` to actually perform the
snapshotting when the policy is triggered. Currently there is no handling of the
results (other than logging) as that will be added in subsequent work.
This also adds unit tests and an integration test that schedules a policy and
ensures that a snapshot is correctly taken.
Relates to #38461
* Record most recent snapshot policy success/failure (#40619)
Keeping a record of the results of the successes and failures will aid
troubleshooting of policies and make users more confident that their
snapshots are being taken as expected.
This is the first step toward writing history in a more permanent
fashion.
* Validate snapshot lifecycle policies (#40654)
(This is a PR against the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
With the commit, we now validate the content of snapshot lifecycle policies when
the policy is being created or updated. This checks for the validity of the id,
name, schedule, and repository. Additionally, cluster state is checked to ensure
that the repository exists prior to the lifecycle being added to the cluster
state.

* Hook SLM into ILM's start and stop APIs (#40871)
(This pull request is for the `snapshot-lifecycle-management` branch)
This change allows the existing `/_ilm/stop` and `/_ilm/start` APIs to also
manage snapshot lifecycle scheduling. When ILM is stopped all scheduled jobs are
cancelled.

* Add tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem (#40912)
Adds serialization tests for SnapshotLifecyclePolicyItem.
* Fix improper import in build.gradle after master merge

* Add human readable version of modified date for snapshot lifecycle policy
This small change changes it from:
```

```
To
```
...
"modified_date" : "2019-04-09T21:05:03.242Z",
"modified_date_millis" : 1554843903242,
...
```
Including the `"modified_date"` field when the `?human` field is used.
Relates to #38461
* Fix test
* Add API to execute SLM policy on demand (#41038)
This commit adds the ability to perform a snapshot on demand for a policy. This
can be useful to take a snapshot immediately prior to performing some sort of
maintenance.
```json
PUT /_ilm/snapshot/<policy>/_execute
```
And it returns the response with the generated snapshot name:
```json
{
"snapshot_name" : "production-snap-2019.04.09-rfyv3j9qreixkdbnfuw0ug"
}
```
Note that this does not allow waiting for the snapshot, and the snapshot could
still fail. It *does* record this information into the cluster state similar to
a regularly trigged SLM job.
Relates to #38461
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata (#41221)
* Add next_execution to SLM policy metadata
This adds the next time a snapshot lifecycle policy will be executed when

* Add `manage_slm` and `read_slm` roles
This adds two more built in roles -
`manage_slm` which has permission to perform any of the SLM actions, as well as

`read_slm` which has permission to retrieve snapshot lifecycle policies as well
as retrieving the operation status of ILM.
Relates to #38461
* Add execute to the test
* Fix ilm -> slm typo in test
* Record SLM history into an index (#41707)
It is useful to have a record of the actions that Snapshot Lifecycle
Management takes, especially for the purposes of alerting when a
snapshot fails or has not been taken successfully for a certain amount of
time.
This adds the infrastructure to record SLM actions into an index that
can be queried at leisure, along with a lifecycle policy so that this
history does not grow without bound.
Additionally,
SLM automatically setting up an index + lifecycle policy leads to
`index_lifecycle` custom metadata in the cluster state, which some of
the ML tests don't know how to deal with due to setting up custom
`NamedXContentRegistry`s. Watcher would cause the same problem, but it
is already disabled (for the same reason).

This change makes the process of verifying the signature of
official plugins FIPS 140 compliant by defaulting to use the
BouncyCastle FIPS provider and adding a dependency to bcpg-fips
that implement parts of openPGP in a FIPS compliant manner.
In already FIPS 140 enabled environments that use the
BouncyCastle FIPS provider, the bcfips dependency is redundant
but doesn't cause an issue as it will be added only in the classpath
of the cli-tools
This is a backport of #44224
This commit documents the backup and restore of a cluster's
security configuration.
It is not possible to only backup (or only restore) security
configuration, independent to the rest of the cluster's conf,
so this describes how a full configuration backup&restore
will include security as well. Moreover, it explains how part
of the security conf data resides on the special .security
index and how to backup that using regular data snapshot API.

This adds the ability to execute an action for each element that occurs
in an array, for example you could sent a dedicated slack action for
each search hit returned from a search.
There is also a limit for the number of actions executed, which is
hardcoded to 100 right now, to prevent having watches run forever.
The watch history logs each action result and the total number of actions
the were executed.

Add the "Authorization" section to the API key API docs.

Backport of: #43811
This commit changes the `role_descriptors` field from required
to optional when creating API key. The default behavior in .NET ES
client is to omit properties with `null` value requiring additional
workarounds. The behavior for the API does not change.
Field names (`id`, `name`) in the invalidate api keys API documentation have been
corrected where they were wrong.
Closes#42053
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
This commit adds a configuration guide for the newly introduced
