[[security-settings]]
|
||
=== Security settings in {es}
|
||
++++
|
||
<titleabbrev>Security settings</titleabbrev>
|
||
++++
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
<<anonymous-access-settings, enable anonymous access>>
|
||
and perform message authentication,
|
||
<<field-document-security-settings, set up document and field level security>>,
|
||
<<realm-settings, configure realms>>,
|
||
<<ssl-tls-settings, encrypt communications with SSL>>, and
|
||
<<auditing-settings, audit security events>>.
|
||
|
||
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
|
||
<<secure-settings>>.
|
||
|
||
[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
|
||
<<cluster-nodes-info,cluster nodes info API>>. 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. Set this to `true` if you run this {es} instance in a FIPS 140-2 enabled JVM. For more information, see <<fips-140-compliance>>. Defaults to `false`.
|
||

||
`xpack.security.authc.anonymous.authz_exception`::
|
||
When `true`, an HTTP 403 response is returned if the anonymous user
|
||
does not have the appropriate permissions for the requested action. The
|
||
user is not prompted to provide credentials to access the requested
|
||
resource. When set to `false`, an HTTP 401 response is returned and the user
|
||
can provide credentials with the appropriate permissions to gain
|
||
access. Defaults to `true`.
|
||
|
||
[float]
|
||
[[security-automata-settings]]
|
||
==== Automata Settings
|
||
In places where the {security-features} accept wildcard patterns (e.g. index
|
||
patterns in roles, group matches in the role mapping API), each pattern is
|
||
compiled into an Automaton. The follow settings are available to control this
|
||
behaviour.

|
||
unused for `168h` (7 days).
|
||
|
||
`xpack.security.dls.bitset.cache.size`::
|
||
The maximum memory usage of cached `BitSet` entries for document level security.
|
||
Document level security queries may depend on Lucene BitSet objects, and these are
|
||
automatically cached to improve performance. Defaults to `50mb`, after which
|
||
least-recently-used entries will be evicted.

|
||
|
||
`ssl.keystore.secure_key_password` (<<secure-settings,Secure>>)::

[[load-balancing]]
|
||
===== Load balancing and failover
|
||
|
||
The `load_balance.type` setting can have the following values:
|
||
|
||
* `failover`: The URLs specified are used in the order that they are specified.
|
||
The first server that can be connected to will be used for all subsequent
|
||
connections. If a connection to that server fails then the next server that a
|
||
connection can be established to will be used for subsequent connections.
|
||
* `dns_failover`: 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 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.

|
||
==== General TLS settings
|
||
`xpack.security.ssl.diagnose.trust`::
|
||
Controls whether to output diagnostic messages for SSL/TLS trust failures.
|
||
If this is `true` (the default), a message will be printed to the Elasticsearch
|
||
log whenever an SSL connection (incoming or outgoing) is rejected due to a failure
|
||
to establish trust.
|
||
This diagnostic message contains information that can be used to determine the
|
||
cause of the failure and assist with resolving the problem.
|
||
Set to `false` to disable these messages.
|
||
NOTE: This defaults to `false` when `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is `true`.
|
||
|
||
==== Default values for TLS/SSL settings
|
||
In general, the values below represent the default values for the various TLS
|
||
settings.
|
||
The prefixes for these settings are based on the context in which they are
|
||
used (e.g. `xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap.corp_ldap.ssl.verification_mode`
|
||
or `xpack.security.transport.ssl.supported_protocols`).

||
|
||
For more information, see

|
||
|
||
`*.ssl.supported_protocols`::
|
||
Supported protocols with versions. Valid protocols: `SSLv2Hello`,
|
||
`SSLv3`, `TLSv1`, `TLSv1.1`, `TLSv1.2`, `TLSv1.3`. Defaults to `TLSv1.3,TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1` if
|
||
the JVM supports TLSv1.3, otherwise `TLSv1.2,TLSv1.1`.
|
||
+
|
||
--
|
||
NOTE: If `xpack.security.fips_mode.enabled` is `true`, you cannot use `SSLv2Hello`
|
||
or `SSLv3`. See <<fips-140-compliance>>.
|
||
--
|
||
|
||
`*.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`, except for HTTP, which defaults to `none`. See
|
||
<<http-tls-ssl-settings>>.
|
||
|
||
`*.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`.

NOTE: The default cipher suites list above includes TLSv1.3 ciphers and ciphers

|
||
available, the TLSv1.3 ciphers TLS_AES_256_GCM_SHA384`, `TLS_AES_128_GCM_SHA256`
|
||
will not be included in the default list. If 256-bit AES is unavailable, ciphers
|
||
with `AES_256` in their names wil not be included in the default list. Finally,
|

[[tls-ssl-key-settings]]
|
||
===== 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 no trusted certificates are configured, the default certificates
|
||
that are trusted by the JVM will be trusted along with the certificate(s)
|
||
associated with a key in the same context. The key and certificate must be in
|
||
place for connections that require client authentication or when acting as a
|
||
SSL enabled server.
|
||
|
||
[[pkcs12-truststore-note]]
|
||
[NOTE]
|
||
Storing trusted certificates in a PKCS#12 file, although supported, is
|
||
uncommon in practice. The <<certutil,`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: <Unsupported tag 6>` in the
|
||
`openssl pkcs12 -info` output, or `trustedCertEntry` in the
|
||
`keytool -list` output.

===== Transport profile TLS/SSL settings
|
||
The same settings that are available for the <<transport-tls-ssl-settings, default transport>>
|
||
are also available for each transport profile. 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.$PROFILE.xpack.security.` and
|
||
append the portion of the setting after `xpack.security.transport.`. For the key
|
||
setting, this would be `transport.profiles.$PROFILE.xpack.security.ssl.key`.
