Hello,

I've build a new cluster with 2 nodes. All works fine without Xpack security.  
When I enabled security and when I try to check the communication with the second node I've this error :

> {  
> "error" : {  
> "root\_cause" : [  
> {  
> "type" : "master\_not\_discovered\_exception",  
> "reason" : null  
> }  
> ],  
> "type" : "master\_not\_discovered\_exception",  
> "reason" : null  
> },  
> "status" : 503  
> }

node 1 has this configuration : (the node 2 has the same config named el2 and his IP is 10.0.0.82

```
cluster.name: elcluster
node.name: el1
network.host: 10.0.0.81
http.port: 9200
discovery.seed_hosts: ["el1", "el2"]
cluster.initial_master_nodes: ["el1", "el2"]
xpack.security.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true
xpack.security.transport.ssl.keystore.path: certs/elastic-certificates.p12
xpack.security.transport.ssl.truststore.path: certs/elastic-certificates.p12

```

Check health (missing one node)

My root problem, I think, is why I can't have the same password on each node for elastic user.

when I try to force a password change for elastic user, I've the following error 🙂

> {  
> "error" : {  
> "root\_cause" : [  
> {  
> "type" : "status\_exception",  
> "reason" : "Cluster state has not been recovered yet, cannot write to the [null] index"  
> }  
> ],  
> "type" : "status\_exception",  
> "reason" : "Cluster state has not been recovered yet, cannot write to the [null] index"  
> },  
> "status" : 503  
> }

Any idea to help me to troubleshoot this situation ?

thank you for your help !!

Regards.
