Client certificate validation is currently not supported, i.e. TLS only helps with message integrity and privacy, not authentication. See [How to Setup FileBeat with Basic Auth for LogStash Output?](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/how-to-setup-filebeat-with-basic-auth-for-logstash-output/36937) and [https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/issues/8](https://github.com/logstash-plugins/logstash-input-beats/issues/8).
