When generating the CA the filename is `my-ca.p12`, so I changed the name from `my-truststore.p12` to `my-ca.p12` Co-authored-by: Julien Mailleret <8582351+jmlrt@users.noreply.github.com>

# X-Pack Security SSL/TLS
|
|
|
|
The role allows configuring HTTP and transport layer SSL/TLS for the cluster. You will need to generate and provide your own PKCS12 or PEM encoded certificates as described in [Encrypting communications in Elasticsearch](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.4/configuring-tls.html#configuring-tls).
|
|
|
|
By default this role will upload the certs to your elasticsearch servers. If you already copied the certs by your own way, set `es_ssl_upload` to `false` (default: `true`)
|
|
|
|
If you don't want this role to add autogenerated SSL configuration to elasticsearch.yml set `es_enable_auto_ssl_configuration` to `false` (default: `true`).
|
|
|
|
The following should be configured to ensure a security-enabled cluster successfully forms:
|
|
|
|
* `es_enable_http_ssl` Default `false`. Setting this to `true` will enable HTTP client SSL/TLS
|
|
* `es_enable_transport_ssl` - Default `false`. Setting this to `true` will enable transport layer SSL/TLS
|
|
|
|
When using a [PKCS12](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-settings.html#security-http-pkcs12-files) keystore and truststore:
|
|
|
|
* `es_ssl_keystore` path to your PKCS12 keystore (can be the same as `es_ssl_truststore`)
|
|
* `es_ssl_keystore_password` set this if your keystore is protected with a password
|
|
* `es_ssl_truststore` path to your PKCS12 keystore (can be the same as `es_ssl_keystore`)
|
|
* `es_ssl_truststore_password` set this if your truststore is protected with a password
|
|
|
|
When using [PEM encoded](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-settings.html#_pem_encoded_files_3) certificates:
|
|
|
|
* `es_ssl_key` path to your SSL key
|
|
* `es_ssl_key_password` set this if your SSL key is protected with a password
|
|
* `es_ssl_certificate` the path to your SSL certificate
|
|
|
|
## Generating an SSL keystore
|
|
|
|
With a password:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ bin/elasticsearch-certutil ca --out ./my-ca.p12 --pass "ca_password"
|
|
$ bin/elasticsearch-certutil cert --ca ./my-ca.p12 --ca-pass "ca_password" --out ./my-keystore.p12 --pass "keystore_password"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Without a password:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
$ bin/elasticsearch-certutil ca --out ./my-ca.p12 --pass ""
|
|
$ bin/elasticsearch-certutil cert --ca ./my-ca.p12 --out ./my-keystore.p12 --pass ""
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Additional optional SSL/TLS configuration
|
|
|
|
* `es_enable_auto_ssl_configuration` Default `true`. Whether this role should add automatically generated SSL config to elasticsearch.yml.
|
|
* `es_ssl_certificate_path` Default `{{ es_conf_dir }}/certs`. The location where certificates should be stored on the ES node.
|
|
* `es_ssl_verification_mode` Default `certificate`. See [SSL verification_mode](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/security-settings.html#ssl-tls-settings) for options.
|
|
* `es_ssl_certificate_authority` PEM encoded certificate file that should be trusted.
|
|
* `es_validate_certs` Default `yes`. Determines if ansible should validate SSL certificates when performing actions over HTTPS. e.g. installing templates and managing native users.
|
|
|
|
## Example SSL/TLS configuration
|
|
|
|
```yaml
|
|
- name: Elasticsearch with SSL/TLS enabled
|
|
hosts: localhost
|
|
roles:
|
|
- role: elastic.elasticsearch
|
|
vars:
|
|
es_config:
|
|
node.name: "node1"
|
|
cluster.name: "custom-cluster"
|
|
discovery.seed_hosts: "localhost:9301"
|
|
http.port: 9201
|
|
transport.port: 9301
|
|
node.data: false
|
|
node.master: true
|
|
bootstrap.memory_lock: true
|
|
xpack.security.authc.realms.file.file1.order: 0
|
|
xpack.security.authc.realms.native.native1.order: 1
|
|
es_heap_size: 1g
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_username: "elastic" # This is the default user created by the installation of elasticsearch
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_password: "changeme" # This is the default password created by the installation of elasticsearch
|
|
es_enable_http_ssl: true
|
|
es_enable_transport_ssl: true
|
|
es_ssl_keystore: "files/certs/my-keystore.p12"
|
|
es_ssl_truststore: "files/certs/my-ca.p12"
|
|
es_ssl_keystore_password: "keystore_password"
|
|
es_ssl_truststore_password: "ca_password"
|
|
es_validate_certs: no
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Changing the default password of elastic user
|
|
|
|
To change the default password of user elastic:
|
|
|
|
* Add this line to your playbook:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vars:
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_username: "elastic"
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_password: "changeme"
|
|
es_users:
|
|
native:
|
|
elastic:
|
|
password: "<new password>"
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
* Deploy your playbook
|
|
* Update your playbook with:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
vars:
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_username: "elastic"
|
|
es_api_basic_auth_password: "<new password>"
|
|
```
