Not able to perform remote reindex with X-Pack Elastic Search

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch

Facing issue when doing reindexing remotely with X-Pack enabled
Eg:

POST /_reindex    {       "source": {          "remote": {             "host": "http://<whitelist-ip>"          },          "index": "stage_de"       },       "dest": {          "index": "live_de"       }    }

Getting error stating authentication token is missing(validated authentication token is passed in the header):

{       "error": {          "root_cause": [             {                "type": "status_exception",                "reason": "body={\"error\":{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}}],\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}},\"status\":401}"             }          ],          "type": "status_exception",          "reason": "body={\"error\":{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}}],\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}},\"status\":401}",          "caused_by": {             "type": "response_exception",             "reason": "GET http://10.203.102.174:9200/: HTTP/1.1 401 Unauthorized\n{\"error\":{\"root_cause\":[{\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}}],\"type\":\"security_exception\",\"reason\":\"missing authentication token for REST request [/]\",\"header\":{\"WWW-Authenticate\":\"Basic realm=\\\"security\\\" charset=\\\"UTF-8\\\"\"}},\"status\":401}"          }       },       "status": 401    }

While below is working fine(Non remote reindex request)
POST /_reindex

{       "source": {          "index": "stage_de"       },       "dest": {          "index": "live_de"       }    }

However, the above issue does not appear when X-Pack is disabled

Can you share the full reindex request?

This looks as if credentials are missing.
