we use es 6.7.1 with kerberos, but after set remote cluster, the state connect is always false, and the seeds is empty. does it support ccs with using kerberos? ---

How have you secured your cluster? Are you using any third-party security plugin or is this built in Elastic security? ---

Elasticsearch does not support Kerberos without a security plugin, so you need to find out which one is used. ---

Yes, that is possible. I would expect there to be settings there to give an indication. ---

i found it may use Seach guard, like this. ![1721697427189](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/6/a/6a334d7b949d26fdcb0e8015795b46e45f46d735.jpeg) ---

> [@lammm4](#): > > i found it may use Seach guard, like this In that case the best advice we can offer is to try the searchguard forums. It's an entirely separate product and I don't think you're likely to find anyone with the right expertise here. Also 6.7 is super old. You really should think about upgrading. ---
