ILM: parse origination date from index name (#46755) (#47124)
* ILM: parse origination date from index name (#46755)

Introduce the `index.lifecycle.parse_origination_date` setting that
indicates if the origination date should be parsed from the index name.
If set to true an index which doesn't match the expected format (namely
`indexName-{dateFormat}-optional_digits` will fail before being created.
The origination date will be parsed when initialising a lifecycle for an
index and it will be set as the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` for
that index.

A user set value for `index.lifecycle.origination_date` will always
override a possible parsable date from the index name.

[ILM] Add date setting to calculate index age (#46561) (#46697)
* [ILM] Add date setting to calculate index age

Add the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` to allow users to configure a
custom date that'll be used to calculate the index age for the phase
transmissions (as opposed to the default index creation date).

This could be useful for users to create an index with an "older"
origination date when indexing old data.

Relates to #42449.

* [ILM] Don't override creation date on policy init

The initial approach we took was to override the lifecycle creation date
if the `index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting was set. This had the
disadvantage of the user not being able to update the `origination_date`
anymore once set.

This commit changes the way we makes use of the
`index.lifecycle.origination_date` setting by checking its value when
we calculate the index age (ie. at "read time") and, in case it's not
set, default to the index creation date.

* Make origination date setting index scope dynamic

* Document orignation date setting in ilm settings

PKI realm authentication delegation (#45906)
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

David Roberts 558e323c89 [ML] Introduce a setting for the process connect timeout (#43234)
This change introduces a new setting,
xpack.ml.process_connect_timeout, to enable
the timeout for one of the external ML processes
to connect to the ES JVM to be increased.

The timeout may need to be increased if many
processes are being started simultaneously on
the same machine. This is unlikely in clusters
with many ML nodes, as we balance the processes
across the ML nodes, but can happen in clusters
with a single ML node and a high value for
xpack.ml.node_concurrent_job_allocations.

Update ciphers for TLSv1.3 and JDK11 if available (#42082)
This commit updates the default ciphers and TLS protocols that are used
when the runtime JDK supports them. New cipher support has been
introduced in JDK 11 and 12 along with performance fixes for AES GCM.
The ciphers are ordered with PFS ciphers being most preferred, then
AEAD ciphers, and finally those with mainstream hardware support. When
available stronger encryption is preferred for a given cipher.

This is a backport of #41385 and #41808. There are known JDK bugs with
TLSv1.3 that have been fixed in various versions. These are:

1. The JDK's bundled HttpsServer will endless loop under JDK11 and JDK
12.0 (Fixed in 12.0.1) based on the way the Apache HttpClient performs
a close (half close).
2. In all versions of JDK 11 and 12, the HttpsServer will endless loop
when certificates are not trusted or another handshake error occurs. An
email has been sent to the openjdk security-dev list and #38646 is open
to track this.
3. In JDK 11.0.2 and prior there is a race condition with session
resumption that leads to handshake errors when multiple concurrent
handshakes are going on between the same client and server. This bug
does not appear when client authentication is in use. This is
JDK-8213202, which was fixed in 11.0.3 and 12.0.
4. In JDK 11.0.2 and prior there is a bug where resumed TLS sessions do
not retain peer certificate information. This is JDK-8212885.

The way these issues are addressed is that the current java version is
checked and used to determine the supported protocols for tests that
provoke these issues.

[ML] Use scaling thread pool and xpack.ml.max_open_jobs cluster-wide dynamic (#39736)
This change does the following:

1. Makes the per-node setting xpack.ml.max_open_jobs
   into a cluster-wide dynamic setting
2. Changes the job node selection to continue to use the
   per-node attributes storing the maximum number of open
   jobs if any node in the cluster is older than 7.1, and
   use the dynamic cluster-wide setting if all nodes are on
   7.1 or later
3. Changes the docs to reflect this
4. Changes the thread pools for native process communication
   from fixed size to scaling, to support the dynamic nature
   of xpack.ml.max_open_jobs
5. Renames the autodetect thread pool to the job comms
   thread pool to make clear that it will be used for other
   types of ML jobs (data frame analytics in particular)

Enable TLSv1.3 by default for JDKs with support (#38103)
This commit enables the use of TLSv1.3 with security by enabling us to
properly map `TLSv1.3` in the supported protocols setting to the
algorithm for a SSLContext. Additionally, we also enable TLSv1.3 by
default on JDKs that support it.

An issue was uncovered with the MockWebServer when TLSv1.3 is used that
ultimately winds up in an endless loop when the client does not trust
the server's certificate. Due to this, SSLConfigurationReloaderTests
has been pinned to TLSv1.2.

Remove index audit output type (#37707)
This commit removes the Index Audit Output type, following its deprecation
in 6.7 by 8765a31d4e6770. It also adds the migration notice (settings notice).

In general, the problem with the index audit output is that event indexing
can be slower than the rate with which audit events are generated,
especially during the daily rollovers or the rolling cluster upgrades.
In this situation audit events will be lost which is a terrible failure situation
for an audit system.
Besides of the settings under the `xpack.security.audit.index` namespace, the
`xpack.security.audit.outputs` setting has also been deprecated and will be
removed in 7. Although explicitly configuring the logfile output does not touch
any deprecation bits, this setting is made redundant in 7 so this PR deprecates
it as well.

Include realm type in Security Realm setting keys (#30241)
This moves all Realm settings to an Affix definition.
However, because different realm types define different settings

become part of the setting key.

Thus, we now need to define realm settings as:

      file.file1:
        order: 0

      native.native1:
        order: 1

case the "authenticate" method (and associated token methods) are

Enable security automaton caching (#34028)
Building automatons can be costly. For the most part we cache things
that use automatons so the cost is limited.
However:
- We don't (currently) do that everywhere (e.g. we don't cache role
  mappings)
- It is sometimes necessary to clear some of those caches which can
  cause significant CPU overhead and processing delays.

This commit introduces a new cache in the Automatons class to avoid
unnecesarily recomputing automatons.

Support PKCS#11 tokens as keystores and truststores (#34063)
This enables Elasticsearch to use the JVM-wide configured
PKCS#11 token as a keystore or a truststore for its TLS configuration.
The JVM is assumed to be configured accordingly with the appropriate
Security Provider implementation that supports PKCS#11 tokens.
For the PKCS#11 token to be used as a keystore or a truststore for an
SSLConfiguration, the .keystore.type or .truststore.type must be
explicitly set to pkcs11 in the configuration.
The fact that the PKCS#11 token configuration is JVM wide implies that
there is only one available keystore and truststore that can be used by TLS
configurations in Elasticsearch.
The PIN for the PKCS#11 token can be set as a truststore parameter in
Elasticsearch or as a JVM parameter ( -Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword).

The basic goal of enabling PKCS#11 token support is to allow PKCS#11-NSS in
FIPS mode to be used as a FIPS 140-2 enabled Security Provider.

Add support for "authorization_realms" (#33262)
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.

[Kerberos] Add documentation for Kerberos realm (#32662)

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.

for Kerberos realm.
