Hello,

I am fairly new to setting up security, so I'm sorry if there are holes in my logic.

I'm running Elasticsearch (7.9.1 OSS with opendistro) + Kibana on one machine and Logstash (7.8.0) on another machine. Within one of my logstash pipelines, I want to perform a query using [Elasticsearch Filter](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/logstash/current/plugins-filters-elasticsearch.html) without SSL verification. I am able use the elasticsearch output plugin to send data to an index but I cannot bypass SSL verification with the filter. Is this possible?

I've configured certificates, keys, and CAs following [OpenDistro's guide](https://opendistro.github.io/for-elasticsearch-docs/docs/security/configuration/tls/). I've tried to download these certs on my local machine and send a request via python using the cafile, but encountered an SSL error. Could I use these certificates to authenticate the request from logstash? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
