| `xpack.security.enabled`
|
|
| By default, {kib} automatically detects whether to enable the
|
|
{security-features} based on the license and whether {es} {security-features}
|
|
are enabled. +
|
|

|
|
Do not set this to `false`; it disables the login form, user and role management
|

screens, and authorization using <<kibana-privileges>>. To disable
|
|
{security-features} entirely, see
|
|
{ref}/security-settings.html[{es} security settings].
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.audit.enabled`
|
|
| Set to `true` to enable audit logging for security events. By default, it is set
|
|
to `false`. For more details see <<xpack-security-audit-logging>>.

[[authentication-security-settings]]
|
|
==== Authentication security settings
|
|
|
|
You configure authentication settings in the `xpack.security.authc` namespace in `kibana.yml`.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
[source,yaml]
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
xpack.security.authc:
|
|
providers:
|
|
basic.basic1: <1>
|
|
order: 0 <2>
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
saml.saml1: <3>
|
|
order: 1
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
saml.saml2: <4>
|
|
order: 2
|
|
...
|
|
|
|
pki.realm3:
|
|
order: 3
|
|
...
|
|
...
|
|
----------------------------------------
|
|
<1> Specifies the type of authentication provider (for example, `basic`, `token`, `saml`, `oidc`, `kerberos`, `pki`) and the provider name. This setting is mandatory.
|
|
<2> Specifies the order of the provider in the authentication chain and on the Login Selector UI. This setting is mandatory.
|
|
<3> Specifies the settings for the SAML authentication provider with a `saml1` name.
|
|
<4> Specifies the settings for the SAML authentication provider with a `saml2` name.
|
|
|
|
The valid settings in the `xpack.security.authc.providers` namespace vary depending on the authentication provider type. For more information, refer to <<kibana-authentication>>.

|
|
|

|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.authc.providers.`
|
|
`<provider-type>.<provider-name>.showInSelector`
|
|
| Flag that indicates if the provider should have an entry on the Login Selector UI. Setting this to `false` doesn't remove the provider from the authentication chain.

[[saml-authentication-provider-settings]]
|
|
===== SAML authentication provider settings
|
|
|
|
In addition to <<authentication-provider-settings,the settings that are valid for all providers>>, you can specify the following settings:
|
|
|
|
[cols="2*<"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| `xpack.security.authc.providers.`
|
|
`saml.<provider-name>.realm`
|
|
| SAML realm in {es} that provider should use.
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.authc.providers.`
|
|
`saml.<provider-name>.useRelayStateDeepLink`
|
|
| Determines if the provider should treat the `RelayState` parameter as a deep link in {kib} during Identity Provider initiated log in. By default, this setting is set to `false`. The link specified in `RelayState` should be a relative, URL-encoded {kib} URL. For example, the `/app/dashboards#/list` link in `RelayState` parameter would look like this: `RelayState=%2Fapp%2Fdashboards%23%2Flist`.

|
|
| Determines if HTTP authentication schemes used by the enabled authentication providers should be automatically supported during HTTP authentication. By default, this setting is set to `true`.
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.authc.http.schemes`
|

[cols="2*<"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| `xpack.security.loginAssistanceMessage`

|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.loginHelp`

|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.authc.selector.enabled`

[[security-session-and-cookie-settings]]
|
|
==== Session and cookie security settings
|
|
|
|
You can configure the following settings in the `kibana.yml` file.
|
|
|
|
[cols="2*<"]
|
|
|===
|
|
| `xpack.security.cookieName`
|
|
| Sets the name of the cookie used for the session. The default value is `"sid"`.
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.encryptionKey`
|
|
| An arbitrary string of 32 characters or more that is used to encrypt session information. Do **not** expose this key to users of {kib}. By
|
|
default, a value is automatically generated in memory. If you use that default
|
|
behavior, all sessions are invalidated when {kib} restarts.
|
|
In addition, high-availability deployments of {kib} will behave unexpectedly
|
|
if this setting isn't the same for all instances of {kib}.
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.secureCookies`
|
|
| Sets the `secure` flag of the session cookie. The default value is `false`. It
|
|
is automatically set to `true` if `server.ssl.enabled` is set to `true`. Set
|
|
this to `true` if SSL is configured outside of {kib} (for example, you are
|
|
routing requests through a load balancer or proxy).
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.sameSiteCookies`
|
|
| Sets the `SameSite` attribute of the session cookie. This allows you to declare whether your cookie should be restricted to a first-party or same-site context.
|
|
Valid values are `Strict`, `Lax`, `None`.
|
|
This is *not set* by default, which modern browsers will treat as `Lax`. If you use Kibana embedded in an iframe in modern browsers, you might need to set it to `None`. Setting this value to `None` requires cookies to be sent over a secure connection by setting `xpack.security.secureCookies: true`.
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.session.idleTimeout`
|
|
| Ensures that user sessions will expire after a period of inactivity. This and `xpack.security.session.lifespan` are both
|
|
highly recommended. By default, this setting is not set.
|
|
|
|

============

The format is a string of `<count>[ms\|s\|m\|h\|d\|w\|M\|Y]` (e.g. '20m', '24h', '7d', '1w').
|
|
============
|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.session.lifespan`
|
|
| Ensures that user sessions will expire after the defined time period. This behavior also known as an "absolute timeout". If
|
|
this is _not_ set, user sessions could stay active indefinitely. This and `xpack.security.session.idleTimeout` are both highly
|
|
recommended. By default, this setting is not set.

|
|
|
|
| `xpack.security.session.cleanupInterval`
|
|
| Sets the interval at which {kib} tries to remove expired and invalid sessions from the session index. By default, this value is 1 hour. The minimum value is 10 seconds.
