Question:
Is there any UI option where the user can change his own password ?
I see Management UI for admin user to make changes to users/role but dont see option to change his own password.
When asking questions, please provide the following information:
- Search Guard and Elasticsearch version
- search-guard-6:6.3.0-22.3 elasticsearch-6.3.0
- search-guard-5: elasticsearch-5.6.2
-
Installed and used enterprise modules, if any
Not installed enterprise modules
-
JVM version and operating system version
-
Search Guard configuration files
default configuration generated by ./install_demo_configuration.sh
-
Elasticsearch log messages on debug level
-
Other installed Elasticsearch or Kibana plugins, if any
Only kibana plugin form search-guard
No, this currently not possible. The main reason is that this would work with the internal user database only. If you use any other authentication method, like LDAP, Active Directory, Kerberos, JWT, SAML etc. the user credentials are stored in an external system. So you need to change the password there, it’s not possible to do it from ES/SG. Most users have an external authentication system in place, that’s why this feature is not very high on our roadmap at the moment.
