Issue
- We have a requirement to turn on the authentication and monitoring for our Elasticsearch server, but after downloading the Liferay Enterprise Search Security, we can't enable it because it requires credentials
- How can we get those credentials and enable the security features for Elasticsearch?
Environment
- Liferay DXP 7.0-7.4
- Elasticsearch 6.x
Resolution
- To activate Liferay security and authentication, you will need a Liferay Enterprise Search (LES) subscription.
- This subscription gets you additional features beyond what’s available out of the box with your Liferay DXP subscription. it includes:
- Liferay Enterprise Search Security*
- Liferay Enterprise Search Monitoring
- Liferay Enterprise Search Learning to Rank
- Please note that LES subscription is not necessary if using Elasticsearch 7 as X-Pack’s security features are bundled
