Basic authentication
editBasic authentication
editConfiguring basic authentication can be done by providing an
HttpClientConfigCallback while building the RestClient through its builder.
The interface has one method that receives an instance of
org.apache.http.impl.nio.client.HttpAsyncClientBuilder
as an argument and has the same return type. The http client builder can be
modified and then returned. In the following example we set a default
credentials provider that requires basic authentication.
final CredentialsProvider credentialsProvider = new BasicCredentialsProvider();
credentialsProvider.setCredentials(AuthScope.ANY,
new UsernamePasswordCredentials("user", "password"));
RestClient restClient = RestClient.builder(new HttpHost("localhost", 9200))
.setHttpClientConfigCallback(new RestClientBuilder.HttpClientConfigCallback() {
@Override
public HttpAsyncClientBuilder customizeHttpClient(HttpAsyncClientBuilder httpClientBuilder) {
return httpClientBuilder.setDefaultCredentialsProvider(credentialsProvider);
}
})
.build();
