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:

  1. Enter your Elasticsearch Username.
  2. Enter your Elasticsearch Password.
  3. In Elasticsearch, go to Deployments.
  4. Select your deployment.
  5. Select Manage this deployment.
  6. In the Applications section, copy the endpoint of the Elasticsearch application.
  7. Enter this in n8n as the Base URL.
  8. 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.
