Hi All,

I have enabled security (premium license) wich is working fine. My cluster consists of:  
2 kibana nodes  
3 master nodes  
4 coordinator nodes  
20 data nodes

Current I have the same security configuration deployed on all nodes (except the kibana nodes) but kibana is configured to use the coordinator nodes only. All thirdparty scripts / clients are also using the cooridinator nodes.

Do I need the security configuration on all nodes or just on the coordinator nodes?

Thanks for any reply  
Paul.

Security need to be configured cluster wide.
