Hi,

If the user has set verify\_mode to NONE in the logstash beats input configuration, it is overridden default value set by the code in SslSimpleBuilder.java, see below:

```
SslClientVerifyMode verifyMode = SslClientVerifyMode.FORCE_PEER;

```

The Java code has no concept of NONE as the ClientVerifyMode.

Due to various other limitations in Logstash, I am having to pass in a non-empty array of certificate authorities. Because of this, requireClientAuth() will always return true; which in turn, actually sets the verify mode to FORCE\_PEER - even though I set it to NONE in the filter configuration.

The code I'm referring to is located here:

> <https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/blob/master/src/main/java/org/logstash/netty/SslSimpleBuilder.java>

Are you happy for me to create a Github issue to have this fixed?

Regards,  
Nick
