FALEN · February 26, 2024, 9:14am

Hi Community,

I'm randomly encountering auth errors as shared below, severity of these errors are increased and now i cannot stay logged in for 1-2 minutes before encountering one

security_exception Root causes: security_exception: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_security/user/_has_privileges]

Version: 8.12.2
Build: 70281
Error
    at fetch_Fetch.fetchResponse (https://***.com/70281/bundles/core/core.entry.js:1:277774)
    at async https://***.com/70281/bundles/core/core.entry.js:1:275707
    at async https://***.com/70281/bundles/core/core.entry.js:1:275664

In parallel with that, i also encounter other "authentication" errors? when i restart elasticsearch in debug logs such as below;

Next step, enabled below

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "transient": {
    "logger.org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authc": "trace"
  }
}

There isnt any trace log related to authentication error, you can below see the moment it accept the request, than it rejects, than i see kibana tries enrollment token. Can there be a problem with Kibana enrollment?

Update!

I tried it with Brave, Chrome, Safari

Safari seems to be working fine without kicking me out. So i think its an frontend issue with chromium browsers

Update2!

Also works fine if you left Discover screen with 1 second auto refresh active on any browser, so it might be not related to safari. More about refresh token getting invalidated?

Can you share your kibana.yml? Maybe you are missing the xpack.security.encryptionKey setting, which allows you to carry over authenticated sessions after Elasticsearch restarts. Are there warning messages in the startup logs of the Kibana server to that effect?

Or you might be using the Token Service for authentication in Elasticsearch, and need a longer timeout limit. The default is 20 minutes. See the details of xpack.security.authc.token.timeout in Elasticsearch: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.12/security-settings.html#token-service-settings

Hi Tim,
below is current kibana conf

server.host: "172.xx.xx.xx"
server.publicBaseUrl: "https://xxxx.com"
server.name: "xxx-elasticsearch"

logging:
  appenders:
    file:
      type: file
      fileName: /var/log/kibana/kibana.log
      layout:
        type: json
  root:
    appenders:
      - default
      - file
pid.file: /run/kibana/kibana.pid

elasticsearch.hosts: ['https://172.xx.xx.xx:9200']
elasticsearch.serviceAccountToken: xxxxxx
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: [/var/lib/kibana/ca_1691932967567.crt]
xpack.encryptedSavedObjects.encryptionKey: xxx 32char random numbers
xpack.security.audit.enabled: true

"xpack.security.encryptionKey" is missing, added it but same problem still occurs

"xpack.security.authc.token.timeout" also configured this to 60m in elasticsearch.yml

Only error im seeing in kibana logs while startup is

"message":"Failed to resolve ELSER model definition: Error: Platinum, Enterprise or trial license needed","log":{"level":"ERROR","logger":"plugins.observabilityAIAssistant"},"process":{"pid":8323,"uptime":32.386862025},"trace":{"id":"802f128626c20a75e87766d4624116ed"},"transaction":{"id":"38f171b0b3f4e7d1"}}

This node was previously licensed, now its switched to basic

Additionally, can it be a Proxy issue? There are lot of errors in browser logs when logout occurs

tsullivan · March 20, 2024, 2:53pm

I wouldn't take this to mean that this setting isn't important. It is important for consistency in user sessions over cluster restarts.

Additionally:

Check that your license hasn't become expired.
The browser logs in Kibana tend to be noisy, and some of those look like ones I see during normal use cases, except for the Uncaught exceptions. But those are likely due to lack of exception handling in the code, when the exception is that authentication has been lost.
This can certainly be a proxy issue. Check that the proxy rules are not mistakenly stripping out headers from the forwarded requests.
