Hi  
I have deployed Elasticsearch locally to Docker Desktop Kubernetes as following:  
install operator:  
kubectl create -f {linktoEck}/eck/2.11.1/crds.yaml  
kubectl apply -f {linktoEck}/eck/2.11.1/operator.yaml

then I deployed my .Net service which have a connection line to ElasticClient in Program.cs:

```auto
var connSettings = new ConnectionSettings(new Uri("https://elasticlocal.com/"))
    .BasicAuthentication("elastic", "testPassword")
    .ThrowExceptions()
    .EnableApiVersioningHeader();

builder.Services.AddSingleton<IElasticClient>(new ElasticClient(connSettings));

```

but when running this code with ExceptionDispatchInfo:

```auto
 var bulkAllObservable = _elasticClient.BulkAll(personIndexes, b => b
 .Index("persons"));

```

I get an exception telling this:

```auto
Unsuccessful () low level call on GET: /

```

Elasticsearch file:

```auto
apiVersion: elasticsearch.k8s.elastic.co/v1
kind: Elasticsearch
metadata:
  name: elastic-cluster
spec:
  version: 8.12.2
  nodeSets:
  - name: default
    count: 1
    config:
      node.store.allow_mmap: false
  http:
    tls:
      selfSignedCertificate:
        subjectAltNames:
        - ip: 0.0.0.0
        - dns: elasticlocal.com

```

[elasticlocal.com](http://elasticlocal.com) is handled by Ingress and is working fine (I am able to connect via Postman - [elasticlocal.com](http://elasticlocal.com):

```auto
apiVersion: networking.k8s.io/v1
kind: Ingress
metadata:
  name: elastic-cluster
  namespace: default
  annotations:
    nginx.ingress.kubernetes.io/backend-protocol: HTTPS
spec:
  ingressClassName: nginx
  tls:
  - hosts:
    - elasticlocal.com
    secretName: my-new-tls-secret
  rules:
  - host: elasticlocal.com
    http:
      paths:
      - path: /
        pathType: Prefix
        backend:
          service:
            name: elastic-cluster-es-http
            port:
              number: 9200

```

I have tried disabling certificates and it worked fine via Postman requests and via curl  
but from .Net service it still give the same error

Actually now I am able to connect with using this configuration in code

```auto
var connSettings = new ConnectionSettings(new Uri("https://elastic-cluster-es-http.default.svc.cluster.local:9200"))
    .BasicAuthentication("elastic", "testPassword")
    .ThrowExceptions()
    .EnableApiVersioningHeader()
    .ServerCertificateValidationCallback((o, certificate, chain, errors) => true)
    .ServerCertificateValidationCallback(CertificateValidations.AllowAll);

```
