Root Cause

A role mapping definition contains an unsupported field name, causing parsing to fail.

generic

中文

角色映射定义包含不支持的字段名，导致解析失败。

Workarounds

  1. 90% success Remove the unknown field from the role mapping definition. For example, if the mapping had 'invalid_field', delete it: DELETE _security/role_mapping/my_mapping then PUT _security/role_mapping/my_mapping with valid fields like 'roles', 'rules', 'enabled'.

中文步骤

  1. 从角色映射定义中移除未知字段。例如，如果映射包含'invalid_field'，删除它：DELETE _security/role_mapping/my_mapping 然后 PUT _security/role_mapping/my_mapping 使用有效字段如'roles'、'rules'、'enabled'。
  2. 查阅官方文档了解支持的字段，并相应修正映射。
  3. 使用获取角色映射API检查当前映射并与预期模式对比：GET _security/role_mapping/my_mapping

Dead Ends

Common approaches that don't work:

  1. 50% fail

    May reintroduce the same invalid field if the user is unaware of the correct schema.

  2. 80% fail

    Null values for unknown fields still trigger parse errors because the field itself is not recognized.

  3. 70% fail

    The field is invalid regardless of version; upgrading does not change the schema.
