Hi, First, thank you for Rally! This is an amazing tool! 🙂 Maybe I'm not looking at the right place, but I was not able to find out how to define my operations to pass an authorization header in the requests sent to ES. What is the right way to do it? Thanks ---

Hello Bruno, Glad to hear you like Rally! This can be solved via passing custom client options. Please take a look at [https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command\_line\_reference.html#client-options](https://esrally.readthedocs.io/en/stable/command_line_reference.html#client-options) - there are a few specific examples for SSL. Thank you, Evgenia ---
