Hi,

We have a remote server which have some elastic indices.  
I would like to reindex the data from this server onto another. But I am getting the error:  
"type": "s\_s\_l\_handshake\_exception",  
"reason": "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

When I checked the documentation, its talking about specifying the setting "reindex.ssl.certificate\_authorities".

What is should be set in this parameter? Should it be set in the source or the destination elastic server?  
Is there anyway, I can suppress the ssl certificate while reindexing.

Regards,  
Aarti
