OpenSearch Security Plugin

OpenSearch Security is a plugin for OpenSearch that offers encryption, authentication and authorization. When combined with OpenSearch Security-Advanced Modules, it supports authentication via Active Directory, LDAP, Kerberos, JSON web tokens, SAML, OpenID and more. It includes fine grained role-based access control to indices, documents and fields. It also provides multi-tenancy support in OpenSearch Dashboards.

Installation

OpenSearch Security Plugin comes bundled by default as part of the OpenSearch distribution. Please refer to the installation guide and technical documentation for detailed information on installing and configuring the OpenSearch Security Plugin.

You can also see the developer guide which walks through the installation of the plugin for an OpenSearch server that doesn't initially have it.

Test and Build

Run all tests:

./gradlew clean test

Build artifacts (zip, deb, rpm):

./gradlew clean assemble
artifact_zip=`ls $(pwd)/build/distributions/opensearch-security-*.zip | grep -v admin-standalone`
./gradlew buildDeb buildRpm -ParchivePath=$artifact_zip

This produces:

build/releases/opensearch-security-<VERSION>.zip
build/distributions/opensearch-security-<VERSION>.deb
build/distributions/opensearch-security-<VERSION>.rpm

Config hot reloading

The Security Plugin configuration is stored in a dedicated index in OpenSearch itself. Changes to the configuration are pushed to this index via the command line tool. This triggers a reload of the configuration on all nodes automatically. This has several advantages over configuration via opensearch.yml:

Configuration is stored in a central place
No configuration files on the nodes necessary
Configuration changes do not require a restart
Configuration changes take effect immediately
