X-Pack create user using Java API, wrong password

[Bogdan.R (Bogdan)]

Hi,
I'm trying to create a new user using X-Pack Java API:

    final PutUserRequest putUserRequest = new PutUserRequest();
    putUserRequest .enabled(true);
    putUserRequest .username("userName");
    putUserRequest .fullName("userFullName");
    putUserRequest .passwordHash("password".hashCode());
    putUserRequest .email("a@b.com");
    putUserRequest .roles("kibana_user");

    final XPackClient xPackClient = new XPackClient(transportClient);
    xPackClient.security().putUser(putUser, null);

The user is created but when I try to log in I'm getting wrong password message. I've tried multiple ways to calculate the password hash, and sizes, but still not working.

How should the passwordHash be generated?

How should the passwordHash be generated?

You should use org.elasticsearch.xpack.security.authc.support.Hasher.BCRYPT.

Hi Tim, thank you for the reply. We actually managed to make it work using PutUserRequestBuilder.
