I am trying to do a remote reindexing from an elastic cluster to another (both are in a closed network). I tried to do it from the DevTools console but stumbled upon the following error :

"error" : { "root_cause" : [ { "type" : "s_s_l_handshake_exception", "reason" : "PKIX path building failed: sun.security.provider.certpath.SunCertPathBuilderException: unable to find valid certification path to requested target"

Our SSL certificates are not working and we usually bypass them by using verify_certs=False when working with Python or -k when curling.

Do you know if there is any similar way to do for the DevTools console ? Couldn't find any. I guess I could disable all SSL and security parameters for the duration of the reindexing or just fix the SSL certificates (I wish I could) :') but I'd like to find an easier/less time consuming way and more generally just know if this is possible or not

I finally found the solution.

You can't directly do it from DevTools but what you can do is add reindex.ssl.verification_mode to none in elasticsearch.yml in order to bypass any type of control for the reindex API.

I found this information in this part of the Reindex API Documentation. I guess it should work the same for other API functions.
