Hello. I am new to ElasticSearch. I need to make security settings for a elasticsearch cluster with 3 Master nodes and 5 data nodes. I was looking at the video under [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMh1HWWe6B4](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nMh1HWWe6B4)

This video is for one master and one data node. How do I follow similar exercise for 3 Master and 5 data nodes. Please help.

Thanks

Welcome to our community! 😃

It's the exact same thing, just replicated on the other nodes.

Thank you. It worked. I was not able to generate passwords until I defined a data node
