I want to restore from a back-up but i can’t preview the /security to give required permissions etc. any ideas?
@savercrange
Is this an OpenSearch cluster ? Or are you still attempting to use the old OpenDistro plugins ?
What are the full versions of both the underlying platform (i.e. OpenSearch) and the security plugin ?
Hey thanks for the reply, how can i check this infos?
I’d start by asking your team what was downloaded to install the underlying platform - for example: did they download the OpenSearch .tar.gz or the Elasticsearch .tar.gz ?
How are you deploying your cluster ? using the .tar.gz files, rpm, Docker, etc. ?
@savercrange When you make the snapshot, by default it will include the .opendistro_security index.
admin user doesn’t have privileges to restore such index. That’s why you need to either:
- exclude the
.opendistro_securitywhen creating the snapshot - take the snapshot of the specific indices
Take and restore snapshots - OpenSearch documentation - restore the snapshot using curl command and admin certificates defined in
plugins.security.authcz.admin_dn
Take and restore snapshots - OpenSearch documentation
The above applies to both OpenDistro and OpenSearch.
