Did you look at [x-pack](https://www.elastic.co/products/x-pack) (commercial)?

Without X-pack is it possible because I am doing some ajax call to elastics search from backend x pack may cause authentication error

May be with a reverse proxy on top of elasticsearch? But I'm not sure.

Yes. You need to read the doc like [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/ssl-tls.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/ssl-tls.html)

I'm moving your question to #x-pack where you can get help about x-pack.

I really recommend that you read the documentation though. Start here: [https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/encrypting-communications.html](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/encrypting-communications.html)

There are links that explains that.
