Hi, i want to run bulk index API from .bat file. The .bat file will run with Windows Task Scheduler under domain user which has 'superuser' role in the elasticsearch. So that I do not need to mentioned '--user : ' in the bulk index api. But it fails. any other suggestion? i don't want to put my password in the .bat file due to security concern. Thanks ---

I want to do bulk index every hourly. but how to secure my the username and password (--user uname:pwd) in the curl command ? my Elasticsearch is integrated with AD realms. any help is appreciated. ---
