My custom realm x-pack plugin makes an authorization attempt over HTTP to an external user-store. This worked okay in previous versions of x-pack. However, x-pack security permissions may have been re-organized slightly since. I get the following exception:

Do you know how to define permission for this operation? Is it in the x-pack-extension-security.policy bundled with the plugin. Is it on the filesystem at :
/usr/share/elasticsearch/plugins/x-pack/x-pack-security/plugin-security.policy
What should the content of this file be for this request? I'm currently using java 8. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks.
