I try to implement SSO function using OpenID Connect(using google api).

So I add configuration in elasticsearch.yml by referring to the URL below.

[https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/oidc-guide-authentication.html#oidc-claims-mapping](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/oidc-guide-authentication.html#oidc-claims-mapping)

There is an entry 'op.jwkset\_path' during setup.  
(op.jwkset\_path: oidc/jwkset.json)  
These settings are known as jwt storage paths issued by op.  
when I first start ElasticSearch, I don't have that file.  
Therefore, 'Nosuchfile' errors continue to occur when starting elasticsearch.  
what should I do with the setup?

You need to

- Either download that file from your OP(google): the JWKS is referenced in [https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration](https://accounts.google.com/.well-known/openid-configuration) and is [https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs](https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs) . So download and save this locally before you start elasticsearch
- Or point elasticsearch to the url `op.jwkset_path: https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v3/certs` and we will handle fetching it for you.
