In our case we have an Elasticsearch instance which is only accessible through an endpoint authenticated with OAuth (Which is token based). With the above configuration options though, It looks like it does not support the OAuth (token based authentication).
Question: Does anyone know how to connect the IQ Index Service to Elasticsearch Endpoint authenticated with OAuth?
Next Steps:
As a workaround, I will be introducing a proxy between IQ service and Elastic Endpoint. The Proxy will first get the OAuth Token, talk to Elastic Endpoint using the token and send back the response to IQ Service.
