X-Pack Security support

[corneversloot]

Hi there, I am considering using this Elasticsearch connector for a project as it looks like a good fit what what I need. The Elasticsearch will be secured though using X-Pack so I am wondering weather this connector sopports that. A (very) quick review of the code gives me the impression it is not supported. Is this correct, and if so do you have any plans to add it any time soon? Thanks!

Hello. SSL is supported but not basic authentication. It should be straightforward to add support for basic auth by adding username and password store parameters to ElasticDataStoreFactory and using those to add a default Authorization header when building the RestClient here. I'll try to make these updates in the coming weeks or else you're welcome to submit a PR if you'd like.

It would be great if you can add it. If not, I might try to make changes later and submit a PR. Regardless of the particular project I might need it for I can see benefit of supporting X-Pack authorization to the connector. Thanks for the quick response!

Why is this issue closed? How can you pass basic authentication parameters?

The new release candidate 2.14.2-RC1 includes updates to support basic authentication.
