8.2 closing connection when creating an index

[Jack_Park]

@stephenb

KeyStore trustStore = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
trustStore.load(null, null);

That's the code I entered. There's an issue with it: (null, null) should be (inputstream to the keystore, keystore password).

An example I found here

Missing Authentication for REST request

For the High Level rest client see the last comment here that references HttpAsyncClientBuilder where you can pass the keystore parameter. For postman, I am not aware how this is done, you can probably find the answer in their docs.

uses "password".

I found that I needed to set the password, which I did.

Now that I, in theory, have jumped through those hoops, the example earlier said
KeyStore trustStore = KeyStore.getInstance("pkcs12");
whereas the example just found (albeit from an earlier date) says
KeyStore keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance("jks");
This example

Encrypted communication | Elasticsearch Java API Client [master] | Elastic

uses pkcs12.
That leaves me with a new error, one which comes before the authentication issue:

DerInputStream.getLength(): lengthTag=87, too big.

I am using the path to the ES keystore as the trustPath.

Google isn't very helpful on that error.
