Secure your 5.x and 6.x clusters with LDAP
editSecure your 5.x and 6.x clusters with LDAP
editThese steps show how you can secure your 5.x and 6.x Elasticsearch clusters and Kibana instances with the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol(LDAP) using an LDAP server.
For version 7.x, see Secure your 7.x clusters with LDAP.
Before you begin
editTo learn more about how securing Elasticsearch clusters with LDAP works, see LDAP user authentication.
The LDAP credentials are valid against the deployment, not the ECE platform. You can configure role-based access control for the platform separately.
Configure authentication with LDAP
editYou can configure the deployment to authenticate users by communicating with an LDAP server. To integrate with LDAP, you need to configure an ldap
realm and map LDAP groups to user roles in Elasticsearch.
-
Determine which mode you want to use. The
ldap
realm supports two modes of operation, a user search mode and and a mode with specific templates for user DNs.LDAP user search is the most common mode of operation. In this mode, a specific user with permission to search the LDAP directory is used to search for the DN of the authenticating user based on the provided username and an LDAP attribute. Once found, the user is authenticated by attempting to bind to the LDAP server using the found DN and the provided password.
If your LDAP environment uses a few specific standard naming conditions for users, you can use user DN templates to configure the realm. The advantage of this method is that a search does not have to be performed to find the user DN. However, multiple bind operations might be needed to find the correct user DN.
-
To configure an LDAP realm with user search, add your user settings for the
ldap
realm as follows:xpack: security: authc: realms: ldap1: type: ldap order: 2 url: "ldap://ldap.example.com:389" bind_dn: "cn=ldapuser, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" user_search: base_dn: "ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" filter: "(cn={0})" group_search: base_dn: "ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com"
The type of the realm, must be
ldap
.The order in which the LDAP realm will be consulted during an authentication attempt.
The LDAP URL pointing to the LDAP server that should handle authentication. If your LDAP server is configured to use LDAP over TLS and it uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate that is signed by your organization’s CA, see below for configuration instructions
The DN of the bind user.
The base DN under which your users are located in LDAP.
Optionally specify an additional LDAP filter used to search the directory in attempts to match an entry with the username provided by the user. Defaults to
(uid={0})
.{0}
is substituted with the username provided by the user for authentication.The base DN under which groups are located in LDAP.
You must apply the user settings to each deployment template.
-
In versions before 6.3, the password for the
bind_dn
user can be configured by addingbind_password: the_password
in the user settings above -
In versions after 6.3, the password for the
bind_dn
user should be configured by adding the appropriatesecure_bind_password
setting to the Elasticsearch keystore.-
From the Deployments page, select your deployment.
Narrow the list by name, ID, or choose from several other filters. To further define the list, use a combination of filters.
- From your deployment menu, select Security.
- Under the Elasticsearch keystore section, select Add settings.
-
On the Create setting window, select the secret Type to be
Secret String
. -
Set the Setting name` to
xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap.ldap1.secure_bind_password
and add the password for thebind_dn
user in thesecret
field.After you configure secure_bind_password, any attempt to restart the deployment will fail until you complete the rest of the configuration steps. If you wish to rollback the LDAP realm related configuration effort, you need to remove the
xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap.ldap1.secure_bind_password
that was just added by clicking on the "remove" button by the setting name underExisting Keystores
.
-
-
Alternatively, to configure an LDAP realm with user user DN templates, add your user settings for the
ldap
realm as follows:xpack: security: authc: realms: ldap1: type: ldap order: 2 url: "ldap://ldap.example.com:389" user_dn_templates: - "uid={0}, ou=users, o=engineering, dc=example, dc=com" - "uid={0}, ou=users, o=marketing, dc=example, dc=com" group_search: base_dn: ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com"
The type of the realm, should be
ldap
.The order in which the LDAP realm will be consulted during an authentication attempt.
The LDAP URL pointing to the LDAP server that should handle authentication. If your LDAP server is configured to use LDAP over TLS and it uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate that is signed by your organization’s CA, see below see below for configuration instructions
The templates that should be tried for constructing the user DN and authenticating to LDAP. If a user attempts to authenticate with username
user1
and passwordpassword1
, authentication will be attempted with the DNuid=user1, ou=users, o=engineering, dc=example, dc=com
and if not successful, also withuid=user1, ou=users, o=marketing, dc=example, dc=com
and the given password. If authentication with one of the constructed DNs is successful, all subsequent LDAP operations are run with this user.The base DN under which groups are located in LDAP.
-
(Optional) Encrypt communications between the deployment and the LDAP Server. If your LDAP server uses a self-signed certificate or a certificate that is signed by your organization’s CA, you need to enable the deployment to trust this certificate.
-
Prepare a custom bundle as a ZIP file that contains the CA certificate file (for example
ca.crt
) inside of acacerts
folder` in the same way that you would on Elastic Cloud. -
Update your plan in the advanced configuration editor so that it uses the bundle you prepared in the previous step. You need to modify the
user_bundles
JSON attribute similar to the following example:{ "cluster_name": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME", "plan": { ... "elasticsearch": { "version": "6.*", "user_bundles": [ { "name": "ldap-cert", "url": "https://www.myurl.com/ldapcert.zip", "elasticsearch_version": "6.*" } ] } }
You must specify the
user_bundles
attribute for each deployment template.The URL that point to
ldapcert.zip
must be accessible to the cluster. Also, when you*
a minor versions bundles are compatible with any Elasticsearch major version to avoid a need to re-upload a new bundle with minor versions upgrade. In this example the bundle is compatible with any Elasticsearch 6.* version. -
Custom bundles get unzipped under the path
/app/config/BUNDLE_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE
, whereBUNDLE_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE
is the directory structure within the bundle ZIP file itself. For example:$ tree . . └── cacerts └── ca.crt
So in our example, the unzipped keystore file gets placed under
/app/config/cacerts/ca.crt
-
Update your user settings for the
ldap
realm as followsxpack: security: authc: realms: ldap1: type: ldap order: 2 url: "ldaps://ldap.example.com:636" bind_dn: "cn=ldapuser, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" user_search: base_dn: "ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" group_search: base_dn: ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" ssl: verification_mode: certificate certificate_authorities: ["/app/config/cacerts/ca.crt"]
The type of the realm, should be
ldap
.The
ldaps
URL pointing to the LDAP server.(Optional) By default, when you configure Elasticsearch to connect to an LDAP server using SSL/TLS, it attempts to verify the hostname or IP address specified with the url attribute in the realm configuration with the values in the certificate. If the values in the certificate and realm configuration do not match, Elasticsearch does not allow a connection to the LDAP server. This is done to protect against man-in-the-middle attacks. If necessary, you can disable this behavior by setting the
ssl.verification_mode
property tocertificate
.
-
Prepare a custom bundle as a ZIP file that contains the CA certificate file (for example
If your CA certificate is available as a JKS
or PKCS#12
keystore, you can upload that file in the ZIP bundle ( for example
create a ZIP archive from a truststore
folder that contains a file named ca.jks
) and then reference it in the user settings with
xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap1.ssl.truststore.path: "/app/config/truststore/ca.jks"
. If the keystore is also password protected (
which is unusual for keystores that contain only CA certificates ), you can also provide the password for the keystore by adding
xpack.security.authc.realms.ldap1.ssl.truststore.password: password
in the user settings.
Mapping LDAP groups to roles
editYou have two ways of mapping LDAP groups to roles for your users. The preferred one is to use the role mapping API. If for some reason this is not possible, you can use a role mapping file to specify the mappings instead.
Using the Role Mapping API
editLet’s assume that you want all your users that authenticate via LDAP to have read only access to a certain index my-index
and the LDAP
users that are members of the `cn=administrators, ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" group in LDAP, to become superusers in your
deployment:
-
Create the read-only role
-
Create the relevant role mapping rule for read only users
-
Create the relevant role mapping rule for superusers
Using the Role Mapping files
editLet’s assume that you want all your users that authenticate via LDAP and are members of the cn=my-users, ou=groups, o=services,
dc=example, dc=com
group in LDAP to have read only access to a certain index my-index
and only the users
`cn=Senior Manager, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" and
`cn=Senior Admin, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" to become superusers in your deployment:
-
Create a file name named role-mappings.yml with the following contents
superuser: - cn=Senior Manager, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com - cn=Senior Admin, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com read-only-user: - cn=my-users, ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com
-
Prepare a custom bundle as a ZIP file that contains the role-mappings.yml file inside of a
mappings
folder` in the same way that you would on Elastic Cloud. -
Update your plan in the advanced configuration editor so that it uses the bundle you prepared in the previous step. You need to modify the
user_bundles
JSON attribute similar to the following example:{ "cluster_name": "REPLACE_WITH_YOUR_CLUSTER_NAME", "plan": { ... "elasticsearch": { "version": "6.*", "user_bundles": [ { "name": "role-mappings", "url": "https://www.myurl.com/mappings.zip", "elasticsearch_version": "6.*" } ] } }
The URL that point to
mappings.zip
must be accessible to the cluster. Also, when you*
a minor versions bundles are compatible with any Elasticsearch major version to avoid a need to re-upload a new bundle with minor versions upgrade. In this example the bundle is compatible with any Elasticsearch 6.* version.-
Custom bundles get unzipped under the path
/app/config/BUNDLE_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE
, whereBUNDLE_DIRECTORY_STRUCTURE
is the directory structure within the bundle ZIP file itself. For example:$ tree . . └── mappings └── role-mappings.yml
So in our example, the unzipped role mappings file gets placed under
/app/config/mappings/role-mappings.yml
-
Update your user settings for the
ldap
realm as follows (building from previous examples)xpack: security: authc: realms: ldap1: order: 2 url: "ldaps://ldap.example.com:636" bind_dn: "cn=ldapuser, ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" user_search: base_dn: "ou=users, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" group_search: base_dn: ou=groups, o=services, dc=example, dc=com" ssl: verification_mode: certificate certificate_authorities: ["/app/config/cacerts/ca.crt"] files: role_mapping: "/app/config/mappings/role-mappings.yml"
