Transport Client 5.4.1 Failure

Elastic Stack Elasticsearch
1

I can't get the Java API transport client to work with 5.4.1.
Below is the code snippet:

        Settings settings = Settings.builder()
                .put("client.transport.sniff", true)
                .put("xpack.security.user", "transport_client_user:changeme")
                .build();

        client = new PreBuiltXPackTransportClient(settings);
        client = client.addTransportAddresses(new InetSocketTransportAddress(InetAddress.getByName(host), port));

Then I get the following error:

[elasticsearch[client][transport_client_boss][T#1]] INFO org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService - failed to get local cluster state for {#transport#-1}{uJ_F0oqAT0ucSdpkfkzpCg}{localhost}{127.0.0.1:9300}, disconnecting...
[elasticsearch[client][transport_client_boss][T#2]] INFO org.elasticsearch.client.transport.TransportClientNodesService - failed to get local cluster state for {#transport#-2}{KLVUgCedQLeGMq_mNa6HpQ}{localhost}{127.0.0.1:9301}, disconnecting...

Caused by: ElasticsearchSecurityException[unable to authenticate user [transport_client_user] for action [cluster:monitor/state]]
...

Reading other problems like this, it seemed this was fixed in 5.4.1. I think it isn't. Will I have to take out the X-Pack plug in?

Did you define a transport_client_user user?

Thank you for your reply.
I thought I did, but I fat fingered the user name.
Thanks.
