[role="xpack"] [[security-settings]] === Security settings in {es} ++++ Security settings ++++ By default, the {es} {security-features} are disabled when you have a basic or trial license. To enable {security-features}, use the `xpack.security.enabled` setting. You configure `xpack.security` settings to <> and perform message authentication, <>, <>, <>, and <>. All of these settings can be added to the `elasticsearch.yml` configuration file, with the exception of the secure settings, which you add to the {es} keystore. For more information about creating and updating the {es} keystore, see <>. [float] [[general-security-settings]] ==== General security settings `xpack.security.enabled`:: Set to `true` to enable {es} {security-features} on the node. + + -- If set to `false`, which is the default value for basic and trial licenses, {security-features} are disabled. It also affects all {kib} instances that connect to this {es} instance; you do not need to disable {security-features} in those `kibana.yml` files. For more information about disabling {security-features} in specific {kib} instances, see {kibana-ref}/security-settings-kb.html[{kib} security settings]. TIP: If you have gold or higher licenses, the default value is `true`; we recommend that you explicitly add this setting to avoid confusion. -- `xpack.security.hide_settings`:: A comma-separated list of settings that are omitted from the results of the <>. You can use wildcards to include multiple settings in the list. For example, the following value hides all the settings for the ad1 active_directory realm: `xpack.security.authc.realms.active_directory.ad1.*`. The API already omits all `ssl` settings, `bind_dn`, and `bind_password` due to the sensitive nature of the information. `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled`:: Enables fips mode of operation.

It can be a URL (https://idp.example.com/) or a URN (`urn:example.com:idp`) and can be found in the configuration or the SAML metadata of the Identity Provider. `idp.metadata.path`:: The path _(recommended)_ or URL to a SAML 2.0 metadata file describing the capabilities and configuration of the Identity Provider. If a path is provided, then it is resolved relative to the {es} config directory. If a URL is provided, then it must be either a `file` URL or a `https` URL. {es} automatically polls this metadata resource and reloads the IdP configuration when changes are detected. File based resources are polled at a frequency determined by the global {es} `resource.reload.interval.high` setting, which defaults to 5 seconds. HTTPS resources are polled at a frequency determined by the realm's `idp.metadata.http.refresh` setting. `idp.metadata.http.refresh`:: Controls the frequency with which `https` metadata is checked for changes. Defaults to `1h` (1 hour). `idp.use_single_logout`:: Indicates whether to utilise the Identity Provider's Single Logout service (if one exists in the IdP metadata file). Defaults to `true`. `sp.entity_id`:: The Entity ID to use for this SAML Service Provider. This should be entered as a URI. We recommend that you use the base URL of your Kibana instance. For example, `https://kibana.example.com/`. `sp.acs`:: The URL of the Assertion Consumer Service within {kib}. Typically this is the "api/security/v1/saml" endpoint of your Kibana server. For example, `https://kibana.example.com/api/security/v1/saml`. `sp.logout`:: The URL of the Single Logout service within {kib}. Typically this is the "logout" endpoint of your Kibana server. For example, `https://kibana.example.com/logout`. `attributes.principal`:: The Name of the SAML attribute that contains the user's principal (username). `attributes.groups`:: The Name of the SAML attribute that contains the user's groups. `attributes.name`:: The Name of the SAML attribute that contains the user's full name. `attributes.mail`:: The Name of the SAML attribute that contains the user's email address. `attributes.dn`:: The Name of the SAML attribute that contains the user's X.50 _Distinguished Name_. `attribute_patterns.principal`:: A Java regular expression that is matched against the SAML attribute specified by `attributes.pattern` before it is applied to the user's _principal_ property. The attribute value must match the pattern and the value of the first _capturing group_ is used as the principal. For example, `^([^@]+)@example\\.com$` matches email addresses from the "example.com" domain and uses the local-part as the principal. `attribute_patterns.groups`:: As per `attribute_patterns.principal`, but for the _group_ property. `attribute_patterns.name`:: As per `attribute_patterns.principal`, but for the _name_ property. `attribute_patterns.mail`:: As per `attribute_patterns.principal`, but for the _mail_ property. `attribute_patterns.dn`:: As per `attribute_patterns.principal`, but for the _dn_ property. `nameid_format`:: The NameID format that should be requested when asking the IdP to authenticate the current user.

Defaults to `false`. `nameid.sp_qualifier`:: The value of the `SPNameQualifier` attribute of the `NameIdPolicy` element in an authentication request. The default is to not include the `SPNameQualifier` attribute. `force_authn`:: Specifies whether to set the `ForceAuthn` attribute when requesting that the IdP authenticate the current user. If set to `true`, the IdP is required to verify the user’s identity, irrespective of any existing sessions they might have. Defaults to `false`. `populate_user_metadata`:: Specifies whether to populate the {es} user's metadata with the values that are provided by the SAML attributes. Defaults to `true`. `authorization_realms`:: The names of the realms that should be consulted for delegated authorization. If this setting is used, then the SAML realm does not perform role mapping and instead loads the user from the listed realms. See {stack-ov}/realm-chains.html#authorization_realms[Delegating authorization to another realm] `allowed_clock_skew`:: The maximum amount of skew that can be tolerated between the IdP's clock and the {es} node's clock. Defaults to `3m` (3 minutes). `req_authn_context_class_ref`:: A comma separated list of Authentication Context Class Reference values to be included in the Requested Authentication Context when requesting the IdP to authenticate the current user. The Authentication Context of the corresponding authentication response should contain at least one of the requested values. + For more information, see {stack-ov}/saml-guide-authentication.html#req-authn-context[Requesting specific authentication methods].

This URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for all IP addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections to the Active Directory or LDAP server will always be tried in the order in which they were retrieved. This differs from `failover` in that there is no reordering of the list and if a server has failed at the beginning of the list, it will still be tried for each subsequent connection. * `round_robin`: Connections will continuously iterate through the list of provided URLs. If a server is unavailable, iterating through the list of URLs will continue until a successful connection is made. * `dns_round_robin`: In this mode of operation, only a single URL may be specified. This URL must contain a DNS name. The system will be queried for all IP addresses that correspond to this DNS name. Connections will continuously iterate through the list of addresses. If a server is unavailable, iterating through the list of URLs will continue until a successful connection is made. [float] [[ssl-tls-settings]] ==== Default TLS/SSL settings You can configure the following TLS/SSL settings in `elasticsearch.yml`. For more information, see {stack-ov}/encrypting-communications.html[Encrypting communications]. These settings are used unless they have been overridden by more specific settings such as those for HTTP or Transport. `xpack.ssl.supported_protocols`:: Supported protocols with versions. Valid protocols: `SSLv2Hello`, `SSLv3`, `TLSv1`, `TLSv1.1`, `TLSv1.2`. Defaults to `TLSv1.2`, `TLSv1.1`, `TLSv1`. + -- NOTE: If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is `true`, you cannot use `SSLv2Hello` or `SSLv3`. See <>. -- `xpack.ssl.client_authentication`:: Controls the server's behavior in regard to requesting a certificate from client connections. Valid values are `required`, `optional`, and `none`. `required` forces a client to present a certificate, while `optional` requests a client certificate but the client is not required to present one. Defaults to `required`. This global setting is not applicable for HTTP, see <>. `xpack.ssl.verification_mode`:: Controls the verification of certificates. Valid values are: - `full`, which verifies that the provided certificate is signed by a trusted authority (CA) and also verifies that the server's hostname (or IP address) matches the names identified within the certificate. - `certificate`, which verifies that the provided certificate is signed by a trusted authority (CA), but does not perform any hostname verification. - `none`, which performs _no verification_ of the server's certificate. This mode disables many of the security benefits of SSL/TLS and should only be used after very careful consideration. It is primarily intended as a temporary diagnostic mechanism when attempting to resolve TLS errors, and its use on production clusters is strongly discouraged. + The default value is `full`. `xpack.ssl.cipher_suites`:: Supported cipher suites can be found in Oracle's http://docs.oracle.com/javase/8/docs/technotes/guides/security/SunProviders.html[ Java Cryptography Architecture documentation]. Defaults to `TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256`, `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256`, `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA`, `TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA`, `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA256`, `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA`. If the _Java Cryptography Extension (JCE) Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files_ has been installed, the default value also includes `TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384`, `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA384`, `TLS_ECDHE_ECDSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA`, `TLS_ECDHE_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA`, `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA256`, `TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_256_CBC_SHA`. [float] [[tls-ssl-key-settings]] ===== Default TLS/SSL key and trusted certificate settings The following settings are used to specify a private key, certificate, and the trusted certificates that should be used when communicating over an SSL/TLS connection. If none of the settings below are specified, the <> are used. If no trusted certificates are configured, the default certificates that are trusted by the JVM will be trusted along with the certificate(s) from the <>. The key and certificate must be in place for connections that require client authentication or when acting as a SSL enabled server. [float] ===== PEM encoded files When using PEM encoded files, use the following settings: `xpack.ssl.key`:: Path to the PEM encoded file containing the private key. `xpack.ssl.key_passphrase`:: The passphrase that is used to decrypt the private key. This value is optional as the key might not be encrypted. `xpack.ssl.secure_key_passphrase` (<>):: The passphrase that is used to decrypt the private key. This value is optional as the key might not be encrypted. `xpack.ssl.certificate`:: Path to a PEM encoded file containing the certificate (or certificate chain) that will be presented to clients when they connect. `xpack.ssl.certificate_authorities`:: List of paths to the PEM encoded certificate files that should be trusted. [float] ===== Java keystore files When using Java keystore files (JKS), which contain the private key, certificate and certificates that should be trusted, use the following settings: `xpack.ssl.keystore.path`:: Path to the keystore that holds the private key and certificate. `xpack.ssl.keystore.password`:: Password to the keystore. `xpack.ssl.keystore.secure_password` (<>):: Password to the keystore. `xpack.ssl.keystore.key_password`:: Password for the private key in the keystore. Defaults to the same value as `xpack.ssl.keystore.password`. `xpack.ssl.keystore.secure_key_password` (<>):: Password for the private key in the keystore. `xpack.ssl.truststore.path`:: Path to the truststore file. `xpack.ssl.truststore.password`:: Password to the truststore. `xpack.ssl.truststore.secure_password` (<>):: Password to the truststore. WARNING: If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is `true`, you cannot use Java keystore files. See <>. [float] ===== PKCS#12 files When using PKCS#12 container files (`.p12` or `.pfx`), which contain the private key, certificate, and certificates that should be trusted, use the following settings: `xpack.ssl.keystore.path`:: Path to the PKCS#12 file that holds the private key and certificate. `xpack.ssl.keystore.type`:: Set this to `PKCS12`. `xpack.ssl.keystore.password`:: Password to the PKCS#12 file. `xpack.ssl.keystore.secure_password` (<>):: Password to the PKCS#12 file. `xpack.ssl.keystore.key_password`:: Password for the private key in the PKCS12 file. Defaults to the same value as `xpack.ssl.keystore.password`. `xpack.ssl.keystore.secure_key_password` (<>):: Password for the private key in the PKCS12 file. `xpack.ssl.truststore.path`:: Path to the truststore file. `xpack.ssl.truststore.type`:: Set this to `PKCS12`. `xpack.ssl.truststore.password`:: Password to the truststore. `xpack.ssl.truststore.secure_password` (<>):: Password to the truststore. WARNING: If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is `true`, you cannot use PKCS#12 keystore files. See <>. [[pkcs12-truststore-note]] [NOTE] Storing trusted certificates in a PKCS#12 file, although supported, is uncommon in practice. The {ref}/certutil.html[`elasticsearch-certutil`] tool, as well as Java's `keytool`, are designed to generate PKCS#12 files that can be used both as a keystore and as a truststore, but this may not be the case for container files that are created using other tools. Usually, PKCS#12 files only contain secret and private entries. To confirm that a PKCS#12 container includes trusted certificate ("anchor") entries look for `2.16.840.1.113894.746875.1.1: ` in the `openssl pkcs12 -info` output, or `trustedCertEntry` in the `keytool -list` output. [float] ===== PKCS#11 tokens When using a PKCS#11 cryptographic token, which contains the private key, certificate, and certificates that should be trusted, use the following settings: `xpack.ssl.keystore.type`:: Set this to `PKCS11`. `xpack.ssl.truststore.type`:: Set this to `PKCS11`. [[pkcs11-truststore-note]] [NOTE] When configuring the PKCS#11 token that your JVM is configured to use as a keystore or a truststore for Elasticsearch, the PIN for the token can be configured by setting the appropriate value to `xpack.ssl.truststore.password` or `xpack.ssl.truststore.secure_password`. In the absence of the above, {es} will fallback to use he appropriate JVM setting (`-Djavax.net.ssl.trustStorePassword`) if that is set. Since there can only be one PKCS#11 token configured, only one keystore and truststore will be usable for configuration in {es}. This in turn means that only one certificate can be used for TLS both in the transport and the http layer.

By default, the settings for a transport profile will be the same as the default transport unless they are specified. As an example, lets look at the key setting. For the default transport this is `xpack.security.transport.ssl.key`. In order to use this setting in a transport profile, use the prefix `transport.profiles.$PROFILE.xpack.security.` and append the portion of the setting after `xpack.security.transport.`.
