Hello,

I am trying to install Elasticsearch as a prerequisite for installing Magento 2. After the installation, I got the following error. Any advice?

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Basic realm=\"security\", charset=\"UTF-8\"","ApiKey"]}}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"missing authentication credentials for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Basic realm=\"security\", charset=\"UTF-8\"","ApiKey"]}},"status":401}

Hello @hossammaghbcbe ,

Update your Magento Elasticsearch settings to include:

• Username

• Password

bin/magento config:set catalog/search/elasticsearch_username your_user
bin/magento config:set catalog/search/elasticsearch_password your_pass

Problem Solved? Accept as Solution!

Thanks
