Troubleshooting Unexpected Authentication Failures in ReadonlyREST

Hello

I have recently encountered an issue where ReadonlyREST intermittently rejects authentication requests despite using valid credentials & correctly configured rules. :innocent:

The problem seems inconsistent sometimes authentication works fine but at other times; users are unexpectedly denied access. This happens even when there are no changes in configuration or user roles. :upside_down_face:

I’ve checked the logs, and there are no clear error messages indicating why the failures occur. Restarting Elasticsearch and clearing the cache sometimes resolves the issue temporarily, but it eventually returns. I suspect it might be related to session handling, index permissions / a conflict with another security layer. :thinking: Checked Could Someone Give me Advice in Issue with Kibana Authentication Using ReadOnlyREST? related to this.

Has anyone faced similar intermittent authentication failures with ReadonlyREST in Talend Training guide ? :thinking: What debugging steps or configuration tweaks would you recommend?

I’d appreciate any insights on logs to check, potential causes, or solutions that have worked for others.

Thank you !! :slightly_smiling_face:
