Hi,

I am unable to connect ElasticSearch from ElasticHQ after installing Security X-Pack, earlier it was working perfectly fine.

After Installation when calling from a browser ([http://localhost:9200/\_cat/indices?v](http://localhost:9200/_cat/indices?v)) it prompts for user id and password and after entering the credentials it is working fine.

Using [POSTMAN](https://www.getpostman.com/) tool now I am sending Basic Authentications (user id and password) and it is also working fine

How do I now connect using ElasticHQ with these Security X-Pack installed?
