`[2021-02-22T16:37:09,916][WARN][o.e.t.TcpTransport] [ip-someip] SSL/TLS request received but SSL/TLS is not enabled on this node, got (16,3,3,1), [Netty4TcpChannel{localAddress=/127.0.0.1:9301, remoteAddress=/127.0.0.1:58934}], closing connection`

I have removed the opendistro\_security folder to disable security. However, when I try to start ES, i keep getting the above error messages. Not sure why is that happening? I have also commented all the security lines from elasticsearch.yml.

Have you set

```auto
opendistro_security.disabled: true

```

in your `elasticsearch.yml` as described in [Disable Security - Open Distro Documentation](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security/configuration/disable/) ?

Nevermind, I am using it with security enabled for now. Works fine.
