LS can't connect to ES with Shield

Elastic Stack Logstash
8

Hi jaymode,

The user looks like he has the correct role assigned to me, unless I'm mistaken:

esusers list ls_user
ls_user        : logstash

And yeah I do have some logstash indices created.

[root@logs:~] #curl --user admin:$ES_PASS  -XGET http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices
green open logstash-2015.11.19 5 1  7011724 0  6.4gb  3.2gb
green open .kibana             1 1        2 0 10.5kb  5.2kb
green open logstash-2015.11.17 5 1 20507975 0 17.9gb  8.9gb
green open logstash-2015.11.18 5 1 26372939 0 23.9gb 11.9gb

It seems that Logstash is functioning normally more or less. The problem is still that i can't get the ls_user to auth to elasticsearch from the LS config. Although as I demonstrated earlier he can auth to the ES cluster on the command line:

[root@logs:~] #curl --user ls_user:$ES_PASS localhost:9200
{
  "name" : "JF_ES1",
  "cluster_name" : "elasticsearch",
  "version" : {
    "number" : "2.0.0",
    "build_hash" : "de54438d6af8f9340d50c5c786151783ce7d6be5",
    "build_timestamp" : "2015-10-22T08:09:48Z",
    "build_snapshot" : false,
    "lucene_version" : "5.2.1"
  },
  "tagline" : "You Know, for Search"
}

I'm still seeing this output when I restart LS with the user login info:

plugin:elasticsearch	 Authentication Exception

Still open to suggestions!
