I m new in Elasticsearch, I want to implement Besic HTTP Authentication, I
have downloaded the plugin but not able to implement. The readme files
doesn't state how to implement it. Any help will be appreciated.

I tried the read me file instruction... but it is not exactly guiding me to
setup HTTP plugin.

I've found the easiest way is to use Apache as a reverse proxy, implement basic auth there. That's because I'm more familiar with Apache than anything else (Java, ES plugins etc).

If anyone is using chef, i wrote a cookbook what has jetty http basic-auth
implementation.

https://github.com/sebwendel/chef-elasticsearch.git use the "0.1.0" branch.

please have a try, feedback is more than be welcome.

If you have trouble just let me know, i would like to help.

You can use this GitHub - Asquera/elasticsearch-http-basic: HTTP Basic Authentication for Elasticsearch (Discontinued)
GitHub - sonian/elasticsearch-jetty

Yep, it's quite easy:

mkdir -p plugins/http-basic

cp elasticsearch-http-basic-1.0.3.jar plugins/http-basic/

Then you need to add the following to your config, before restarting
Elasticsearch:

http.basic.enabled: true
http.basic.user: "myuser"
http.basic.password: "mypass"

GitHub - sonian/elasticsearch-jetty
