Stupid question but It is not clear from the documentation of Elasticsearch 6.
Should bootstrap.password be added to the Keystore on only one of the nodes, only the master nodes or all of the nodes (or maybe the nodes from which I will authenticate using the stored password)?
I'm setting up Elasticsearch cluster in automated way using an orchestration tool.
To setup users, roles and passwords In ES version 5 I used a custom post-install script which was doing API calls doing the user/role/pass setup. This script was run after the cluster was setup and running.
Now with ES version 6 I cannot use the changeme password anymore and therefore need to manually set the password for the elastic user in the Keystore. Then I can run a modified version of the post-install script again to setup the users and the roles.
