ES 2.2.0 - Just SearchGuard with out SSL

Search Guard
1

I’m trying to install searchguard on my elasticsearch 2.2 but I’m not able to restart ES:

I get this error

No such keystore file /Users/carlosvega/elastic/elasticsearch-2.2.0/config

I don’t need ssl, just authentication with different users and roles. How can I properly install search guard ?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,

in order for SG2 to work, installation and usage of SearchGuard SSL is mandatory. SG2 does not work without it. For example, the SSL layer makes sure that only trusted nodes can join the cluster. Without SSL, there are a lot of attack scenarios which would render plain authentication (nearly) useless. That’s why we decided to make SSL mandatory. Please have a look at SearchGuard SSL, the sources also contain example scripts to generate certificates and set up key- and truststores.

Thanks,
