Quick start: Search Guard Bundle

Start easy with Search Guard. The bundle ships Elasticsearch + Search Guard with a preconfigured environment, which allows easy testing and evaluation. The bundle contains the latest version of Search Guard, Search Guard SSL and all commercial modules like Ldap Authentication, Kerberos Authentication, Document- and Fieldlevel Security as well as Audit Logging.

This feature is still in Beta, but if you want to give it a try, download the Search Guard Bundle here:

How to use it

  • tar -xzvf elasticsearch-<UUID>.tar.gz
  • ./elasticsearch-2.3.3-localhost/bin/elasticsearch
  • Open a new shell and cd into the directory where you unpacked the bundle
  • cd searchguard-client
  • ./sgadmin.sh
  • This will install the configuration from searchguard-client/plugins/search-guard-2/sgconfig/ (.yml files)
  • If you like to change the configuration do this in that directory
  • If you need to configure SSL and a few other options which are not hot reloadable you have to do this in elasticsearch.yml which is here: elasticsearch-2.3.3-localhost/config/elasticsearch.yml
  • If you like to test LDAP and/or Kerberos Authentication and you have no proper LDAP/Kerberos environment pls. refer to https://github.com/floragunncom/kerberos_ldap_environment
  • run curl -k -u admin:admin https://localhost:9200/_searchguard/authinfo
