ElasticSearch authentication error with ElasticCloud?

Question

I have just set up a new ElasticSearch cluster on ElasticCloud and I am trying to follow the help documentation.

It says you can post a document as follows:

curl https://<id>.<region>.aws.found.io:9243/my_index/my_type -XPOST -d '{"title": "One", "tags": ["ruby"] }'

So I am trying this with my own URL, but I am getting:

{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"action [indices:data/write/index] requires authentication","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"action [indices:data/write/index] requires authentication","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\""}},"status":401}

Is there something else I need to do first? The help documentation doesn't mention any extra steps.

Figured it out - need to supply basic-auth username and password in the URL, like https://username:password@<id>.<region>.... The documentation doesn't make this clear. — Richard

The authentication can be done in basic-auth format:

https://username:password@<id>.<region>.found.io:9243

Users and roles can be managed via Kibana in In Elasticsearch version 5.0 and later.
