Briefly, this error occurs when there are multiple OpenID Connect realms configured with the same issuer in Elasticsearch. This can cause authentication issues as Elasticsearch cannot determine the correct realm to use. To resolve this, you should ensure that each OpenID Connect realm has a unique issuer. You can do this by checking your Elasticsearch configuration files and updating the issuer for each realm. Alternatively, if multiple realms are not needed, you can remove the extra realms from your configuration.
