Configuring an Elasticsearch cluster to allow Content Platform Engine access
You must configure the Elasticsearch cluster to allow the Content Platform Engine to access the cluster.
About this task
The Content Platform Engine supports both IP-based security and username/password based security. You need to manage access from Content Platform Engine depending on the security type.
- Username/password-based security
- For username/password-based security, you need to create credentials on the Elasticsearch cluster that allow the Content Platform Engine to access the cluster. You also need to specify the same credentials as the username/password properties on the Content Platform Engine Elasticsearch cluster object.
- IP-based security
- For IP-based security, access to the Elasticsearch cluster is controlled by the client IP addresses that can access the cluster (normally within a VPN). As a result, theContent Platform Engine Elasticsearch cluster object is created without specifying a username or a password.
