I am trying to run the fallowing code

Invoke-RestMethod -Uri [https://2252511c59834f50838ea41429bc8792.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/\_template/uberagent?include\_type\_name=true](https://2252511c59834f50838ea41429bc8792.us-east-1.aws.found.io:9243/_template/uberagent?include_type_name=true) -Method Put -InFile .\elasticsearch-uberagent.json -ContentType "Application/json"

the error that I am getting is

Invoke-RestMethod : {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"security\_exception","reason":"action [indices:admin/template/put] requires authentication","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Bearer  
realm="security"","ApiKey","Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""]}}],"type":"security\_exception","reason":"action [indices:admin/template/put] requires  
authentication","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":["Bearer realm="security"","ApiKey","Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""]}},"status":401}  
At line:1 char:1

- Invoke-RestMethod -Uri [https://2252511c59834f50838ea41429bc8792.us-ea](https://2252511c59834f50838ea41429bc8792.us-ea) ...
- 

```auto
  + CategoryInfo : InvalidOperation: (System.Net.HttpWebRequest:HttpWebRequest) [Invoke-RestMethod], WebException
  + FullyQualifiedErrorId : WebCmdletWebResponseException,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.InvokeRestMethodCommand

```

Not sure what to do. I believe it is looking for the user and password but I am not sure where to put it  
Can some one help with the syntax.  
Thanks
