In the Basic Authentication section, there is an erroneous 'n' placed within the password encryption example. I copy-pasted the line to modify for some testing and didn't realize for a while why I couldn't authenticate to my ES instance via the reverse proxy.

> $ printf "john:$(openssl passwd -crypt s3cr3t)n" \> passwords

Should be:

> $ printf "john:$(openssl passwd -crypt s3cr3t)" \> passwords
