Q1Domain Verified
In the context of securing an Elasticsearch cluster using the security features introduced in version 7.x and beyond, what is the primary mechanism for defining granular access control to specific indices, document types, and even individual fields?
User authentication using simple username/password combinations stored locally.
Application-level authorization implemented solely within client applications interacting with Elasticsearch.
IP address whitelisting configured at the network layer.
Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) with index privileges and field-level security (FLS).
Q2Domain Verified
When migrating from a legacy Elasticsearch setup without security enabled to a modern, secured cluster, what is a critical consideration regarding the `.security` index and its contents, particularly for ensuring a smooth transition of existing user roles and privileges?
Existing users and roles defined in external systems (like LDAP or Active Directory) will automatically be synchronized into the `.security` index without any configuration.
The `.security` index must be manually created and populated with existing user and role definitions before enabling security features.
Elasticsearch automatically migrates existing users and roles from a non-security-enabled cluster into the `.security` index upon initial security enablement.
The `elasticsearch-users` tool should be used exclusively to re-create all users and roles from scratch in the `.security` index.
Q3Domain Verified
A security administrator is tasked with implementing a policy where only specific users can execute the `_cat` APIs to inspect cluster health and indices, but they should not be able to view the actual data within those indices. Which combination of Elasticsearch security features would be most effective for achieving this?
Assigning a role with `manage_ilm` cluster privileges and `read` index privileges on specific indices.
Assigning a role with `monitor` cluster privileges and `read` index privileges on all indices.
Assigning a role with `monitor` cluster privileges and explicitly denying `read` index privileges on sensitive indices.
Assigning a role with `monitor` cluster privileges and `read_cross_cluster` index privileges on all indices.
