Support elasticsearch username / password

[ghost]

Hi,

I want to import osm data to an existing Elasticsearch protected by a username and password. However, I cannot find any option key to provide the credential.

Is it possible to import osm data to an authenticated Elasticsearch? If yes, how? If now, is it planned?

I've been using elasticsearch for about 7 years and never heard of anyone using a username and password.

Can you provide a link to the elastic docs?

We manage many elasticsearch clusters and they are all protected by authentication.

The possible solutions for elasticsearch authentication are:

• the "basic" version of elasticsearch, xpack: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/setting-up-authentication.html
• the open source readonlyrest plugin: https://github.com/sscarduzio/elasticsearch-readonlyrest-plugin/
• any http reverse proxy if you only need to control access to the service.

In my case, I would like to import osm data to an elaasticsearch as a service, provided by elastic: https://www.elastic.co/cloud/

Hi @bquartier,

You can configure a username and passsword in pelias.json, in the esclient property, which also supports any of the other configuration options of the (legacy) elasticsearch-js module: https://github.com/pelias/documentation/blob/master/pelias_from_scratch.md#where-on-the-network-to-find-elasticsearch

Oh boy, looks like Elastic has made it really hard to find the docs that we used to link to on that page.

Let me know if the following config options work for you: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/javascript-api/16.x/_basic_auth.html

It works, thank you!
