How can I pass authentication header with elastic search connection request when using http basic auth for elasticsearch.

Good question actually. There is no way currently, this need to be patched in chewy

[pyromaniac]

Have you find a way?

[timoshenkoav]

you can use this syntax to set http user/password in chewy.yml

development:
  host: 'http://<username>:<password>@<host>'

[mayank-singh]

host: 'localhost:9200'
prefix: 'dev'
user: 'user'
password: 'pass'

I used the above config @pyromaniac

Is there now a set way to do this? I've tried both solutions offered by @mayank-singh and @timoshenkoav but neither are working for me. Security was just applied to my cluster using Elastic Shield.

As far as I get, you need to setup basic http auth, this means that you need to send an auth request with the transport, or send your credentials with every request. Anyway, seems like you have to customize the transport. So, you can try this: https://github.com/toptal/chewy/blob/master/lib/chewy.rb#L137

Given that you're able to authenticate with http://username:password@localhost:9200 using cURL requests, then you can achieve the same with chewy by updating your chewy.yml like so:

production:
  host: "localhost"
  scheme: "http"
  port: "9200"
  user: "username"
  password: "password"
