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.
