Creating the Access Data for Your OpenSearchServer Installation

You can restrict access to the OpenSearchServer installation by setting up users. The following section describes how to set up the users and access the API key for the connection.

Warning

Make sure that you have already created an administrative user before you create a non-administrative user. Otherwise, you will lose administrative access to the OpenSearchServer installation. You can find further information here.

This is how it works

  1. Call the web interface of your OpenSearchServer installation. This interface can usually be accessed via port 9090.

  2. Switch to Privileges

  3. Create a new user. Call it dvelopenterprisesearch, for example.

  4. The API key is generated automatically upon creation of the user. Copy the user name and API key for later use (e.g. in an editor).

  5. Choose an existing index that this user is allowed to search.

  6. For a search, choose the entry Index: query the index.

  7. Click Add to add the selection of the index and the role to the user.

  8. Click Create to create the user.

You have successfully created a user that you can use in the configuration of the OpenSearchServer search provider of the enterprise search.
