Simon Willnauer 8f15324a08 Don't bootstrap security index on start-up but authenticate bootstrap password locally (elastic/x-pack-elasticsearch#2272)
Today we try to bootstrap the security index with the bootstrap password and recommend the user to change the password with the user tool. This is trappy for instance if you happen to configure multiple nodes with a different bootstrap passwords (which is possible) it's unclear which password made it too bootstrap. Yet, we tell in the logs but it can still be very confusing. In general it should be possible to bootstrap with the user tool from any node unless the user is already created in the native user store. This change uses the bootstrap.password from the local node and always authenticate against it until the user is bootstrapped even if the passwords are different on different nodes. This will also work for authenticating against the cluster for instance if a user deletes the .security index or if that index has not been upgraded.

= Elasticsearch X-Pack

A set of Elastic's commercial plugins for Elasticsearch:

- License
- Security
- Watcher
- Monitoring
- Machine Learning
- Graph

= Setup

You must checkout `x-pack-elasticsearch` and `elasticsearch` with a specific directory structure. The
`elasticsearch` checkout will be used when building `x-pack-elasticsearch`. The structure is:

- /path/to/elastic/elasticsearch
- /path/to/elastic/elasticsearch-extra/x-pack-elasticsearch

== Vault Secret

The build requires a Vault Secret ID. You can use a GitHub token by following these steps:

1. Go to https://github.com/settings/tokens
2. Click *Generate new token*
3. Set permissions to `read:org`
4. Copy the token into `~/.elastic/github.token`
5. Set the token's file permissions to `600`

```
$ mkdir ~/.elastic
$ vi ~/.elastic/github.token
# Add your_token exactly as it is into the file and save it
$ chmod 600 ~/.elastic/github.token
```

If you do not create the token, then you will see something along the lines of this as the failure when trying to build X-Pack:

```
* What went wrong:
Missing ~/.elastic/github.token file or VAULT_SECRET_ID environment variable, needed to authenticate with vault for secrets
```

=== Offline Mode

When running the build in offline mode (`--offline`), it will not required to have the vault secret setup.

== Native Code

**This is mandatory as tests depend on it**

Machine Learning requires platform specific binaries, build from https://github.com/elastic/machine-learning-cpp via CI servers.

The native artifacts are stored in S3. To retrieve them infra's team Vault service is utilized, which 
requires a github token. Please setup a github token as documented: 

https://github.com/elastic/infra/blob/master/docs/vault.md#github-auth

The github token has to be put into ~/.elastic/github.token, while the file rights must be set to 0600. 

= Build

- Run unit tests:
+
[source, txt]
-----
gradle clean test
-----

- Run all tests:
+
[source, txt]
-----
gradle clean check
-----

- Run integration tests:
+
[source, txt]
-----
gradle clean integTest
-----

- Package X-Pack (without running tests)
+
[source, txt]
-----
gradle clean assemble
-----

- Install X-Pack (without running tests)
+
[source, txt]
-----
gradle clean install
-----

= Building documentation

The source files in this repository can be included in either the X-Pack Reference or the Elasticsearch Reference. 

NOTE: In 5.5 and later, the Elasticsearch Reference includes X-Pack-specific content when it is built from this repo.

To build the Elasticsearch Reference on your local machine:

* Use the `index.asciidoc` file in the docs/en directory.
* Specify the location of the `elasticsearch/docs` directory with the `--resource` option when you run `build_docs.pl`.

For example:

[source, txt]
-----
./docs/build_docs.pl --doc elasticsearch-extra/x-pack-elasticsearch/docs/en/index.asciidoc 
--resource=elasticsearch/docs --chunk 1
-----

For information about building the X-Pack Reference, see the README in the x-pack repo.

To build a release notes page for the pull requests in this repository:

* Use the dev-tools/xes-release-notes.pl script.
* Specify the version label for which you want the release notes.
* Redirect the output to a new local file.

NOTE: You must have a personal access token called ~/.github_auth with "repo" scope. Use steps similar to "Vault Secret" to create this file. 

For example:
[source, txt]
-----
./dev-tools/xes_release_notes.pl v5.5.2 > ~/tmp/5.5.2.asciidoc
-----

== Adding Images

When you include an image in the documentation, specify the path relative to the location of the asciidoc file. By convention, we put images in an `images` subdirectory.

For example to insert `watcher-ui-edit-watch.png` in `watcher/limitations.asciidoc`:

. Add an `images` subdirectory to the watcher directory if it doesn't already exist. 
. In `limitations.asciidoc` specify:
+
[source, txt]
-----
 image::images/watcher-ui-edit-watch.png["Editing a watch"]
-----
 
Please note that image names and anchor IDs must be unique within the book, so do not use generic identifiers.
