@pablo thx for your reply

pablo · September 4, 2023, 9:44am

@Simon Just rechecked your opensearch.yml. Your HTTP/API endpoint (port 9200) is unsecured.

That’s why securityadmin.sh producing reported errors.

You’re missing these lines in your opensearch.yml file.

plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: true
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemcert_filepath: node1.pem
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemkey_filepath: node1-key.pem
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemtrustedcas_filepath: root-ca.pem

Please be aware that port 9200 must be secured if you’d like to use securityadmin.sh to backup and upload the configuration. The securitydamin.sh is using certificate authentication to communicate with the OpenSearch cluster.

These options require node certificate and key.

Try these instead.

Hey @Simon

Have you seen this? If not this is what need to happen towards the bottom of the page.

Not sure if you have a NameServer but it should match

plugins.security.authcz.admin_dn:
  - 'CN=A,OU=UNIT,O=ORG,L=TORONTO,ST=ONTARIO,C=CA'
plugins.security.nodes_dn:
  - 'CN=node1.dns.a-record,OU=UNIT,O=ORG,L=TORONTO,ST=ONTARIO,C=CA'
  - 'CN=node2.dns.a-record,OU=UNIT,O=ORG,L=TORONTO,ST=ONTARIO,C=CA'

Note sure if you creating your own certificates but you should and remove the default ones. A good example would be from Creating Certificates for Opensearch

plugins.security.ssl.transport.pemcert_filepath: /etc/opensearch/node1.pem
plugins.security.ssl.transport.pemkey_filepath: /etc/opensearch/node1-key.pem
plugins.security.ssl.transport.pemtrustedcas_filepath: /etc/opensearch/root-ca.pem
plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled: true
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemcert_filepath: /etc/opensearch/node1.pem
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemkey_filepath: /etc/opensearch/node1-key.pem
plugins.security.ssl.http.pemtrustedcas_filepath: /etc/opensearch/root-ca.pem
plugins.security.allow_default_init_securityindex: true
plugins.security.authcz.admin_dn:
  - 'CN=opensearch.domain.com,OU=admin,O=enseva,L=cedar,ST=iowa,C=us'
plugins.security.nodes_dn:
  - 'CN=opensearch.domain.com,OU=admin,O=enseva,L=ceda,ST=iowa,C=us'

plugins.security.enable_snapshot_restore_privilege: true

pablo · September 22, 2023, 9:11am

@Simon I think your issue is related to your docker-compose.yaml file.
You have the following configuration in the opensearch-dashboards section.

It should be https://opensearch-node1:9200 as plugins.security.ssl.http.enabled is set to true in opensearch.yml.
