==== {component} TLS/SSL Settings You can configure the following TLS/SSL settings. If the settings are not configured, the {ref}/security-settings.html#ssl-tls-settings[Default TLS/SSL Settings] are used. ifdef::server[] +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.enabled+:: Used to enable or disable TLS/SSL. The default is `false`. endif::server[] +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.supported_protocols+:: Supported protocols with versions. Valid protocols: `SSLv2Hello`, `SSLv3`, `TLSv1`, `TLSv1.1`, `TLSv1.2`. Defaults to `TLSv1.2`, `TLSv1.1`. ifdef::server[] +{ssl-prefix}.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. ifndef::client-auth-default[] Defaults to `none``. endif::client-auth-default[] ifdef::client-auth-default[] Defaults to +{client-auth-default}+. endif::client-auth-default[] endif::server[] ifdef::verifies[] +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.verification_mode+:: Controls the verification of certificates. Valid values are `none`, `certificate`, and `full`. Defaults to `full`. endif::verifies[] +{ssl-prefix}.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 ``. ===== {component} 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. ifdef::server[] A private key and certificate must be configured. endif::server[] ifndef::server[] A private key and certificate are optional and would be used if the server requires client authentication for PKI authentication. endif::server[] If none of the settings below are specified, the {ref}/security-settings.html#ssl-tls-settings[Default TLS/SSL Settings] are used. ===== PEM Encoded Files When using PEM encoded files, use the following settings: +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.key+:: Path to a PEM encoded file containing the private key. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.key_passphrase+:: The passphrase that is used to decrypt the private key. This value is optional as the key might not be encrypted. +{ssl-prefix}.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. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.certificate+:: Path to a PEM encoded file containing the certificate (or certificate chain) that will be presented when requested. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.certificate_authorities+:: List of paths to the PEM encoded certificate files that should be trusted. ===== 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: +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.path+:: Path to the keystore that holds the private key and certificate. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.password+:: Password to the keystore. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.secure_password+ (<>):: Password to the keystore. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.key_password+:: Password for the private key in the keystore. Defaults to the same value as +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.password+. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.secure_key_password+ (<>):: Password for the private key in the keystore. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.path+:: Path to the truststore file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.password+:: Password to the truststore. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.secure_password+ (<>):: Password to the truststore. ===== PKCS#12 Files {es} can be configured to use PKCS#12 container files (`.p12` or `.pfx` files) that contain the private key, certificate and certificates that should be trusted. PKCS#12 files are configured in the same way as Java Keystore Files: +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.path+:: Path to the PKCS#12 file that holds the private key and certificate. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.type+:: Set this to `PKCS12` to indicate that the keystore is a PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.password+:: Password to the PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.secure_password+ (<>):: Password to the PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.key_password+:: Password for the private key stored in the PKCS#12 file. Defaults to the same value as +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.password+. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.keystore.secure_key_password+ (<>):: Password for the private key stored in the PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.path+:: Path to the PKCS#12 file that holds the certificates to be trusted. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.type+:: Set this to `PKCS12` to indicate that the truststore is a PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.password+:: Password to the PKCS#12 file. +{ssl-prefix}.ssl.truststore.secure_password+ (<>):: Password to the PKCS#12 file. ===== PKCS#11 Tokens {es} can be configured to use a PKCS#11 token that contains the private key, certificate and certificates that should be trusted. PKCS#11 token require additional configuration on the JVM level and can be enabled via the following settings: +{ssl-prefix}.keystore.type+:: Set this to `PKCS11` to indicate that the PKCS#11 token should be used as a keystore. +{ssl-prefix}.truststore.type+:: Set this to `PKCS11` to indicate that the PKCS#11 token should be used as a truststore. [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 `ssl.truststore.password` or `ssl.truststore.secure_password` in the context that you are configuring. 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.
