Hi,

I am using opensearch 2.3.0

When I try to configure ODBC driver with SSL I get error like on the screenshot:

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex019/uploads/mauve_hedgehog/original/2X/6/65abc6627b408de6cf243af5e15f4128b38c1867.png)

What caught my attention is that in error message port number is reduced to 920.

When I change opensearch.yml config to

_plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: false_

I can succesfully test connection without SSL.

I will be grateful for any help

Regards,  
Andrew

Hi @apt,

have you tried providing the port as per below?

Hi!

Thank you for your reply.  
I tried to remove port and HTTP from host.  
Unfortunately I am still not able to connect.

What stands out, to me, is that the port in your error pop-up is 920 not 9200.

Is your OpenSearch cluster on HTTP or HTTPS?  
Would you mind sharing your `opensearch.yml` file?

Thanks,

Hi,  
Like I wrote before  
when  
plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: false - there is no error and I can succesfully connect  
when  
plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: true - the error pop-up

# ======================== OpenSearch Configuration =========================
#
# NOTE: OpenSearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.
# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.opensearch.org
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
cluster.name: opensearch-mycluster-name
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:

#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):

# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available

# limit.
#
# OpenSearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):

network.host: host_IP_here
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200

I tried installing the ODBC driver on PROD env. where the hostname is slightly shorter.  
It seems that the issue with missing last digit in port number in error message is misleading.

Now I get the same error message with full port number. Still am not able to connect with SSL enabled.

Hi @apt,

I had a closer look at it, and looks like you will need to configure the following driver options using a DSN or connection string:  
a) `UseSSL` - `boolean (0 or 1)` Default `false (0)` - you need to set it to 1  
b) `HostnameVerification` - `boolean (0 or 1)` - you need to set it to 0 (for testing)

please see more details here: [ODBC Driver - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/search-plugins/sql/sql/odbc/#customizing-the-odbc-driver)

specifically here: [ODBC Driver - OpenSearch Documentation](https://opensearch.org/docs/latest/search-plugins/sql/sql/odbc/#advanced-options)

best,  
mj

Hi @Mantas,

Do you mean Advanced Option tab?

This is how it is configured. The Enable SSL option is set automatically when I add https:// in host name. I’ve tried various options, but nothing helps.

I tried an older version of this driver (v1.4.0) and despite some issues with it described here -  
[[BUG] OpenSearch ODBC client will not connect to OpenSearch cluster · Issue #8 · opensearch-project/sql-odbc · GitHub](https://github.com/opensearch-project/sql-odbc/issues/8) - I was able to successfully connect.

I think there is still some bug in version 1.5.0
