Hi, I've been using the php client successfully with a remote server, and I've set up a new server and run into auth problems using the PHP client library. $clientParams['connectionParams']['auth'] = array( 'user', 'pw', 'Basic' ); My issue is now I get back a 401 Authentication Required every time I try to hit the endpoints using the PHP client but I've gone on the chrome extension Postman to try sending some basic auth requests using the user/pw and the server responds correctly. Any ideas what might cause this or how to go about debugging? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "elasticsearch" group.
