Connection 6 stand-alone elasticsearch

I'm trying to deploy stand-alone elasticsearch with Connection 6 CR5 using the following article https://help.hcltechsw.com/connections/v6/admin/install/es_install_deploy.html

The first major question is about ES version. Is it a requirement to use 5.5.1? It is very old indeed.

The other tricky part is that me run Connections in a closed circuit so I can't just issue elasticsearch-plugin install -b com.floragunn:search-guard-5:5.5.1-16 to install Search Guard. I'm aware of file:///... syntax but where am I to get the right version zip file? There is only 5.6.16-19.4 available on the Search Guard site.

And in the end there is an instruction to install some kind of a fix: wget https://dl.bintray.com/floragunncom/netty-tcnative/netty-tcnative-openssl-1.0.2l-static-2.0.5.Final-non-fedora-linux-x86_64.jar and that link is also dead now.

Hi Anatoly,

For your first question - yes, the version identified is the supported version for use with Connections 6.0 CR5.

For your second question - I reviewed the documentation and see the references to the resources from your post. I also see that the links are no longer active. Please log a support case so that we can fully investigate how to proceed. I've logged an internal documentation ticket to get the process started.


Thank you,
