Configuring Elasticsearch to use LDAP over a secure connection (LDAPS) adds an additional layer of security by encrypting communication between Elasticsearch and the LDAP server.
This article provides a step-by-step guide to setting up LDAPS for Elasticsearch authentication.
Ensure Elasticsearch security features are enabled, configure LDAPS realm, define role mappings, and test the LDAPS configuration.
