I am having one data node with shield and one tribe node without shield. When I try to bind the tribe node with data node. I am getting authentication error as below,

> ElasticsearchSecurityException[missing authentication token for action [internal:discovery/zen/unicast]];  
> Caused by: ElasticsearchSecurityException[missing authentication token for action [internal:discovery/zen/unicast]]

Am I missing anything?

You need to have Shield on all of the clusters including the tribe nodes, please see the [shield tribe node installation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/shield/current/installing-shield.html#tribe-node) for more information.
