I configured Elasticsearch to work with mutual TLS authentication and authorization is done using pki realm.

While replication data between clusters (CCR) it uses transport layer, I have the same CA on both clusters, so authentication passes.

My question is, do I need create role mappings for leader and follower in case I am authorized using PKI realm or not?

Because when I used native realm with user/password - I had such mapping.

Thanks
