editElasticsearch Token Service tokens
editIf you want the client to authenticate with an Elasticsearch access token, set the relevant HTTP request header.
If the client makes requests on behalf of a single user only, you can set the necessary Authorization
header as a default header as shown
in the following example:
RestClientBuilder builder = RestClient.builder( new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")); Header[] defaultHeaders = new Header[]{new BasicHeader("Authorization", "Bearer u6iuAxZ0RG1Kcm5jVFI4eU4tZU9aVFEwT2F3")}; builder.setDefaultHeaders(defaultHeaders);
Elasticsearch API keys
editIf you want the client to authenticate with an Elasticsearch API key, set the relevant HTTP request header.
If the client makes requests on behalf of a single user only, you can set the necessary Authorization
header as a default header as shown
in the following example:
String apiKeyId = "uqlEyn8B_gQ_jlvwDIvM"; String apiKeySecret = "HxHWk2m4RN-V_qg9cDpuX"; String apiKeyAuth = Base64.getEncoder().encodeToString( (apiKeyId + ":" + apiKeySecret) .getBytes(StandardCharsets.UTF_8)); RestClientBuilder builder = RestClient.builder( new HttpHost("localhost", 9200, "http")); Header[] defaultHeaders = new Header[]{new BasicHeader("Authorization", "ApiKey " + apiKeyAuth)}; builder.setDefaultHeaders(defaultHeaders);
