Users log out after a few seconds with Could not refresh the session against ES: + Wrong credentials

Hi, we’re testing the migration from our pro (Pro-1.37.0_es7.16.1 ) to a new version in our systems together with the Enterprise (Enterprise 1.44.0_es7.16.3 ), and we’re trying it in our local envs to test our deployments with a clean machine (kind of same config of our current but upgrading our docker images with the new version.).

So after we launch the ES with Kibana and we activate the keys for the enterprise, everything seems to work, in one of our local systems our ldap users get logged out after a few seconds-minute (with activity,seems not related to a logout after inactivity).

We have:
elasticsearch:7.16.3-1
kibana:7.16.3-1

Reproduce:

  1. Launch ES and Kibana with ROR.
  2. Activate the enterprise solution login as admin and adding the keys
  3. Log in with an ldap user (for example in this logs is carlos.xxxx)

Result:
4) It logs out after a few seconds (or maybe even 1 minute, is quite random). This does not happen with admin users.

We’ve tried different browsers and incognito mode, but given the error in kibana below I don’t think i matters. We’ve tried to use different config in the kibana.yml related to idle time, but it doesn’t help (and also, it logs out even with activity):

This our kibana.yml:
elasticsearch.password: XXXXX
elasticsearch.requestTimeout: 500000
elasticsearch.shardTimeout: 500000
elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: none
elasticsearch.hosts: [“https://velasticsearch:9200”]

I’m working with @gustavo.yoshizaki in this issue if you need a customer’s ponit of contact.

Hi, Thanks for your message. I’m trying to reproduce this issue locally. Could you also provide your readonlyrest.yml config? You can send it as a private message.

how can I send you the file privately? thanks

@carlosm the forum has direct messages.
Sending configuration files through DM is encouraged to Enterprise/PRO customers when they believe the configuration files cannot be sent to support over the public threads because they contain reserved information that is not easy to remove without altering the config file structure.

yes, I’ve tried but I havent seen be able too. when I click on send message I’ve get redirected to the / in the forum, and I cannot see any button to send a private message in the user’s profile


I’ve gete redirected to the main page when I click message a staff memeber

That’s strange, If you go to the profile, you should see “Message” button

I sent you a private message, let’s see if it works this way. If not, you can send me this config via e-mail at dawid@readonlyrest.com

@carlosm the topic/PM are automatically created if you use our customer portal

@carlosm I discovered you were not affiliated to your employer’s account! Please try again now to access the customer portal now!

OK, thanks a lot Simone, I sent Dawid an emial with the file, but I’ll probably open a ticket anyway.

OK let me know when you create the ticket, as the portal infrastructure is very new and we are still ironing the process and the software. :+1:
