Elasticsearch cannot connect with python client, ssl error

I am hosting standalone elasticsearch on external server. Using certificate and login-password authentication. I am able to connect to it using browser or postman.

However when I try to do it, using python client it doesn't work. My connection code:

 self.es = Elasticsearch( address, ca_certs=cert_path, basic_auth=(user, password), ) 

Error message:

elastic_transport.TlsError: TLS error caused by: TlsError(TLS error caused by: SSLError(hostname '34.116.***.***' doesn't match either of 'localhost', '172.19.0.2', '127.0.0.1', 'bde723133f75'))

Please try creating an ssl_context object and set the verification mode on the context.

import ssl from elasticsearch.connection import create_ssl_context ssl_context = create_ssl_context(<use `cafile`, or `cadata` or `capath` to set your CA or CAs) context.check_hostname = False context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE es = Elasticsearch('localhost', ssl_context=context, timeout=60) 

or you can try with this:

from ssl import create_default_context from elasticsearch import Elasticsearch es = Elasticsearch([""], verify_certs=False) es.cat.nodes() 

Option 2 will be warning, because it disable SSL with link url using HTTPS, but it work.

Using some help from Luc answer: Just before i tried something like this:

from ssl import create_default_context import ssl context = create_default_context(capath=cert_path) context.check_hostname = False context.verify_mode = ssl.CERT_NONE self.es = Elasticsearch( address, ssl_context=context, basic_auth=(user, password), verify_certs=False, ) 

I am getting some warnings but other then that it works
