To run Enterprise Search 7.8, you must enable the Elasticsearch API key service.
The key service is enabled automatically when you configure Elasticsearch to use TLS on the HTTP interface.
Alternatively, enable the key service in your Enterprise Search configuration:
add
xpack.security.authc.api_key.enabled: trueto yourconfig/elasticsearch.ymlfile.
App Search

Known Issues
edit- Deleting an external identity in Enterprise Search 7.8.0 does not remove the permissions granted to the linked Workplace Search user. To prevent the user from searching the corresponding content source, an admin must stop sharing the content source with the Workplace Search user. The forthcoming Enterprise Search 7.8.1 release fixes this issue.
