Hi Team, I want to crawl websites having IAM authentication/Wordpress login. Currently I am getting error when validating the domain under App Search under Cloud Trial Version. Is there any need to achieve this to elasticsearch custom APIs?

Do I need to write custom code for this? please share if you have some documentation about this?
