Add caching support for application privileges to reduce number of round-trips to security index when building application privilege descriptors.
Privilege retrieving in NativePrivilegeStore is changed to always fetching all privilege documents for a given application. The caching is applied to all places including "get privilege", "has privileges" APIs and CompositeRolesStore (for authentication).
The checks on the license state have a singular method, isAllowed, that
returns whether the given feature is allowed by the current license.
However, there are two classes of usages, one which intends to actually
use a feature, and another that intends to return in telemetry whether
the feature is allowed. When feature usage tracking is added, the latter
case should not count as a "usage", so this commit reworks the calls to
isAllowed into 2 methods, checkFeature, which will (eventually) both
check whether a feature is allowed, and keep track of the last usage
time, and isAllowed, which simply determines whether the feature is
allowed.
Note that I considered having a boolean flag on the current method, but
wanted the additional clarity that a different method name provides,
versus a boolean flag which is more easily copied without realizing what
the flag means since it is nameless in call sites.
SAML idP sends back a LogoutResponse at the end of the logout workflow. It can be sent via either HTTP-Redirect binding or HTTP-POST binding. Currently, the HTTP-Redirect request is simply ignored by Kibana and never reaches ES. It does not cause any obvious issue and the workflow is completed normally from user's perspective.
The HTTP-POST request results in a 404 error because POST request is not accepted by Kibana's logout end-point. This causes a non-trivial issue because it renders an error page in user's browser. In addition, some resources do not seem to be fully cleaned up due to the error, e.g. the username will be pre-filled when trying to login again after the 404 error.
This PR solves both of the above issues from ES side with a new /_security/saml/complete_logout end-point. Changes are still needed on Kibana side to relay the messages.
* Replace compile configuration usage with api (#58451)
- Use java-library instead of plugin to allow api configuration usage
- Remove explicit references to runtime configurations in dependency declarations
- Make test runtime classpath input for testing convention
- required as java library will by default not have build jar file
- jar file is now explicit input of the task and gradle will ensure its properly build
* Fix compile usages in 7.x branch
The remote_monitoring_user user needs to access the enrich stats API.
But the request is denied because the API is categorized under admin.
The correct privilege should be monitor.
Rather than let ExtensiblePlugins know extending plugins' classloaders,
we now pass along an explicit ExtensionLoader that loads the extensions
asked for. Extensions constructed that way can optionally receive their
own Plugin instance in the constructor.
Today we have individual settings for configuring node roles such as
node.data and node.master. Additionally, roles are pluggable and we have
used this to introduce roles such as node.ml and node.voting_only. As
the number of roles is growing, managing these becomes harder for the
user. For example, to create a master-only node, today a user has to
configure:
- node.data: false
- node.ingest: false
- node.remote_cluster_client: false
- node.ml: false
at a minimum if they are relying on defaults, but also add:
- node.master: true
- node.transform: false
- node.voting_only: false
If they want to be explicit. This is also challenging in cases where a
user wants to have configure a coordinating-only node which requires
disabling all roles, a list which we are adding to, requiring the user
to keep checking whether a node has acquired any of these roles.
This commit addresses this by adding a list setting node.roles for which
a user has explicit control over the list of roles that a node has. If
the setting is configured, the node has exactly the roles in the list,
and not any additional roles. This means to configure a master-only
node, the setting is merely 'node.roles: [master]', and to configure a
coordinating-only node, the setting is merely: 'node.roles: []'.
With this change we deprecate the existing 'node.*' settings such as
'node.data'.
Backporting #58096 to 7.x branch.

* use mapping source direcly instead of using mapper service to extract the relevant mapping details
* moved assertion to TimestampField class and added helper method for tests
* Improved logic that inserts timestamp field mapping into an mapping.
If the timestamp field path consisted out of object fields and
if the final mapping did not contain the parent field then an error
occurred, because the prior logic assumed that the object field existed.
This commit adds an optional field, `description`, to all ingest processors
so that users can explain the purpose of the specific processor instance.

Adds assertions to Netty to make sure that its threads are not polluted by thread contexts (and
also that thread contexts are not leaked). Moves the ClusterApplierService to use the system
context (same as we do for MasterService), which allows to remove a hack from
TemplateUgradeService and makes it clearer that applying CS updates is fully executing under
system context.

In #51089 where SamlAuthenticatorTests were refactored, we missed
to update one test case which meant that a single key would be
used both for signing and encryption in the same run. As explained
in #51089, and due to FIPS 140 requirements, BouncyCastle FIPS
provider will block RSA keys that have been used for signing from
being used for encryption and vice versa
This commit changes testNoAttributesReturnedWhenTheyCannotBeDecrypted
to always use the specific keys we have added for encryption.
- Use opensaml to sign and encrypt responses/assertions/attributes
instead of doing this manually
- Use opensaml to build response and assertion objects instead of
parsing xml strings
- Always use different keys for signing and encryption. Due to FIPS
140 requirements, BouncyCastle FIPS provider will block
RSA keys that have been used for signing from being used for
encryption and vice versa. This change adds new encryption specific
keys to be used throughout the tests.
This change aims to fix our setup in CI so that we can run 7.x in
FIPS 140 mode. The major issue that we have in 7.x and did not
have in master is that we can't use the diagnostic trust manager
in FIPS mode in Java 8 with SunJSSE in FIPS approved mode as it
explicitly disallows the wrapping of X509TrustManager.
Previous attempts like #56427 and #52211 focused on disabling the
setting in all of our tests when creating a Settings object or
on setting fips_mode.enabled accordingly (which implicitly disables
the diagnostic trust manager). The attempts weren't future proof
though as nothing would forbid someone to add new tests without
setting the necessary setting and forcing this would be very
inconvenient for any other case ( see
#56427 (comment) for the full argumentation).
This change introduces a runtime check in SSLService that overrides
the configuration value of xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust and
disables the diagnostic trust manager when we are running in Java 8
and the SunJSSE provider is set in FIPS mode.
This is another part of the breakup of the massive BuildPlugin. This PR
moves the code for configuring publications to a separate plugin. Most
of the time these publications are jar files, but this also supports the
zip publication we have for integ tests.
Currently Elasticsearch creates independent event loop groups for each
transport (http and internal) transport type. This is unnecessary and
can lead to contention when different threads access shared resources
(ex: allocators). This commit moves to a model where, by default, the
event loops are shared between the transports. The previous behavior can
be attained by specifically setting the http worker count.
AuthN realms are ordered as a chain so that the credentials of a given
user are verified in succession. Upon the first successful verification,
the user is authenticated. Realms do however have the option to cut short
this iterative process, when the credentials don't verify and the user
cannot exist in any other realm. This mechanism is currently used by
the Reserved and the Kerberos realm.
This commit improves the early termination operation by allowing
realms to gracefully terminate authentication, as if the chain has been
tried out completely. Previously, early termination resulted in an
authentication error which varies the response body compared
to the failed authentication outcome where no realm could verify the
credentials successfully.
Reserved users are hence denied authentication in exactly the same
way as other users are when no realm can validate their credentials.
Backport of #56034.
Move includeDataStream flag from an IndicesOptions to IndexNameExpressionResolver.Context
as a dedicated field that callers to IndexNameExpressionResolver can set.
Also alter indices stats api to support data streams.
The rollover api uses this api and otherwise rolling over data stream does no longer work.

Backport of #55858 to 7.x branch.
Currently the TransportBulkAction detects whether an index is missing and
then decides whether it should be auto created. The coordination of the
index creation also happens in the TransportBulkAction on the coordinating node.
This change adds a new transport action that the TransportBulkAction delegates to
if missing indices need to be created. The reasons for this change:
* Auto creation of data streams can't occur on the coordinating node.
Based on the index template (v2) either a regular index or a data stream should be created.
However if the coordinating node is slow in processing cluster state updates then it may be
unaware of the existence of certain index templates, which then can load to the
TransportBulkAction creating an index instead of a data stream. Therefor the coordination of
creating an index or data stream should occur on the master node. See #55377
* From a security perspective it is useful to know whether index creation originates from the
create index api or from auto creating a new index via the bulk or index api. For example
a user would be allowed to auto create an index, but not to use the create index api. The
auto create action will allow security to distinguish these two different patterns of
index creation.
This change adds the following new transport actions:
AutoCreateAction, the TransportBulkAction redirects to this action and this action will actually create the index (instead of the TransportCreateIndexAction). Later via #55377, can improve the AutoCreateAction to also determine whether an index or data stream should be created.
The create_index index privilege is also modified, so that if this permission is granted then a user is also allowed to auto create indices. This change does not yet add an auto_create index privilege. A future change can introduce this new index privilege or modify an existing index / write index privilege.

* Make xpack.monitoring.enabled setting a no-op
This commit turns xpack.monitoring.enabled into a no-op. Mostly, this involved
removing the setting from the setup for integration tests. Monitoring may
introduce some complexity for test setup and teardown, so we should keep an eye
out for turbulence and failures
* Docs for making deprecated setting a no-op
This commit converts the remaining isXXXAllowed methods to instead of
use isAllowed with a Feature value. There are a couple other methods
that are static, as well as some licensed features that check the
license directly, but those will be dealt with in other followups.
Anonymous roles resolution and user role deduplication are now performed during authentication instead of authorization. The change ensures:
* If anonymous access is enabled, user will be able to see the anonymous roles added in the roles field in the /_security/_authenticate response.
* Any duplication in user roles are removed and will not show in the above authenticate response.
* In any other case, the response is unchanged.
It also introduces a behaviour change: the anonymous role resolution is now authentication node specific, previously it was authorization node specific. Details can be found at #47195 (comment)
Currently there is a clear mechanism to stub sending a request through
the transport. However, this is limited to testing exceptions on the
sender side. This commit reworks our transport related testing
infrastructure to allow stubbing request handling on the receiving side.
This change adds validation when running the users tool so that
if Elasticsearch is expected to run in a JVM that is configured to
be in FIPS 140 mode and the password hashing algorithm is not
compliant, we would throw an error.
Users tool uses the configuration from the node and this validation
would also happen upon node startup but users might be added in the
file realm before the node is started and we would have the
opportunity to notify the user of this misconfiguration.
The changes in #55544 make this much less probable to happen in 8
since the default algorithm will be compliant but this change can
act as a fallback in anycase and makes for a better user experience.
Our handling for concurrent refresh of access tokens suffered from
a race condition where:
1. Thread A has just finished with updating the existing token
document, but hasn't stored the new tokens in a new document
yet
2. Thread B attempts to refresh the same token and since the
original token document is marked as refreshed, it decrypts and
gets the new access token and refresh token and returns that to
the caller of the API.
3. The caller attempts to use the newly refreshed access token
immediately and gets an authentication error since thread A still
hasn't finished writing the document.
This commit changes the behavior so that Thread B, would first try
to do a Get request for the token document where it expects that
the access token it decrypted is stored(with exponential backoff )
and will not respond until it can verify that it reads it in the
tokens index. That ensures that we only ever return tokens in a
response if they are already valid and can be used immediately
It also adjusts TokenAuthIntegTests
to test authenticating with the tokens each thread receives,
which would fail without the fix.
Resolves: #54289
This commit fixes reproducible test failures with the
SSLReloadDuringStartupIntegTests on the 7.x branch. The failures only
occur on 7.x due to the existence of the transport client and its usage
in our test infrastructure. This change removes the randomized usage of
transport clients when retrieving a client from a node in the internal
cluster. Transport clients do not support the reloading of files for
TLS configuration changes but if we build one from the nodes settings
and attempt to use it after the files have been changed, the client
will not know about the changes and the TLS connection will fail.
Closes#55524
License state is currently made up of boolean methods that check whether
a particular feature is allowed by the current license state. Each new
feature must copy/past boiler plate code. While that has gotten easier
with utilities like isAllowedByLicense, this is still more cumbersome
than should be necessary. This commit adds a general purpose isAllowed
method which takes a new Feature enum, where each value of the enum
defines the minimum license mode and whether the license must be active
to be allowed. Only security features are converted in this PR, in order
to keep the commit size relatively small. The rest of the features will
be converted in a followup.

Out of the box "access granted" audit events are not logged
for system users. The list of system users was stale and included
only the _system and _xpack users. This commit expands this list
with _xpack_security and _async_search, effectively reducing the
auditing noise by not logging the audit events of these system
users out of the box.
Closes#37924
This commit upgrades the ASM dependency used in the feature aware check
to 7.3.1. This gives support for JDK 14. Additionally, now that Gradle
understands JDK 13, it means we can remove a restriction on running the
feature aware check to JDK 12 and lower.
This change reworks the loading and monitoring of files that are used
for the construction of SSLContexts so that updates to these files are
not lost if the updates occur during startup. Previously, the
SSLService would parse the settings, build the SSLConfiguration
objects, and construct the SSLContexts prior to the
SSLConfigurationReloader starting to monitor these files for changes.
This allowed for a small window where updates to these files may never
be observed until the node restarted.
To remove the potential miss of a change to these files, the code now
parses the settings and builds SSLConfiguration instances prior to the
construction of the SSLService. The files back the SSLConfiguration
instances are then registered for monitoring and finally the SSLService
is constructed from the previously parse SSLConfiguration instances. As
the SSLService is not constructed when the code starts monitoring the
files for changes, a CompleteableFuture is used to obtain a reference
to the SSLService; this allows for construction of the SSLService to
complete and ensures that we do not miss any file updates during the
construction of the SSLService.
While working on this change, the SSLConfigurationReloader was also
refactored to reflect how it is currently used. When the
SSLConfigurationReloader was originally written the files that it
monitored could change during runtime. This is no longer the case as
we stopped the monitoring of files that back dynamic SSLContext
instances. In order to support the ability for items to change during
runtime, the class made use of concurrent data structures. The use of
these concurrent datastructures has been removed.
Closes#54867
Backport of #54999
Security features in the license state currently do a dynamic check on
whether security is enabled. This is because the license level can
change the default security enabled state. This commit splits out the
check on security being enabled, so that the combo method of security
enabled plus license allowed is no longer necessary.
