Hi,

We have an elasticsearch running in dev, qa and prod. All of them have searchguard on it. The one in dev does not have SSL enabled.

Is it possible to use the restore functionality ('[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_backup/snapshot\_1/\_restore](http://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1/_restore)) without SSL being enabled?

I would like it to work with the below query, not sure if it’s possible or not without SSL though

curl -Ss --insecure -XPOST ‘[http://localhost:9200/\_snapshot/my\_backup/snapshot\_1/\_restore](https://localhost:9200/_snapshot/my_backup/snapshot_1/_restore)’ -E ch.pem --key example-pki-scripts/kirk.key.pem

Thank you

Jainin Shah

there is a PR for something like that [https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard/pull/245](https://github.com/floragunncom/search-guard/pull/245)  
Will merge soon and include it in the upcoming version, hope this helps.
