Using basic auth
To configure this credential, you'll need an Elasticsearch (opens in a new tab) account with a deployment (opens in a new tab) and:
- A Username
- A Password
- Your Elasticsearch application's Base URL (also known as the Elasticsearch application endpoint)
To set up the credential:
- Enter your Elasticsearch Username.
- Enter your Elasticsearch Password.
- In Elasticsearch, go to Deployments.
- Select your deployment.
- Select Manage this deployment.
- In the Applications section, copy the endpoint of the Elasticsearch application.
- Enter this in n8n as the Base URL.
- By default, n8n connects only if SSL certificate validation succeeds. If you'd like to connect even if SSL certificate validation fails, turn on Ignore SSL Issues.
Custom endpoint aliases: If you add a custom endpoint alias (opens in a new tab) to a deployment, update your n8n credential Base URL with the new endpoint.
