sgadmin stuck at "Contacting elasticsearch cluster 'elasticsearch' ..." on ES version 5.5.0

Hi,

I have spent almost 3 days in trying to get SearchGuard work inside our cluster. I generated the default certificates using the example.sh provided in search-guard-ssl-5.5.0. I copied 3 files to my /etc/elasticsearch/ directory and they are as follows:

  1. truststore.jks
  2. keystore.jks (renamed from original node-1-keystore.jks generated by example.sh)
  3. kirk-keystore.jks
    All these 3 files are owned by elasticsearch user on my node.

*** Please note I use elasticsearch as a service and my configuration files are picked up from /etc/elasticsearch directory. Running install_demo_configuration script also places the .jks files in the same directory. ***

My /etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.yml looks like this:


cluster.name: elasticsearch_dev
node.name: myNode1
path.conf: "/etc/elasticsearch"
path.logs: "/var/log/elasticsearch"
discovery.zen.ping.unicast.hosts:
- myNode2
- myNode3
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2
network.host: 0.0.0.0
http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: "*"
http.cors.allow-methods : OPTIONS, HEAD, GET, POST, PUT, DELETE
http.cors.allow-headers : X-Requested-With,X-Auth-Token,Content-Type,Content-Length
http.detailed_errors.enabled : true
######## Start Search Guard Demo Configuration ########
searchguard.ssl.transport.keystore_filepath: keystore.jks
searchguard.ssl.transport.truststore_filepath: truststore.jks
searchguard.ssl.transport.enforce_hostname_verification: false
searchguard.ssl.http.enabled: true
searchguard.ssl.http.keystore_filepath: keystore.jks
searchguard.ssl.http.truststore_filepath: truststore.jks
searchguard.authcz.admin_dn:
- CN=kirk,OU=client,O=client,L=test, C=de
######## End Search Guard Demo Configuration ########

Finally, I run the sgadmin command as follows and it does not ever find my cluster.
cd /usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/search-guard-5/sgconfig

../../search-guard-5/tools/sgadmin.sh --accept-red-cluster -ks /etc/elasticsearch/kirk-keystore.jks -ts /etc/elasticsearch/truststore.jks -icl -nhnv
