Pass username:password to the load script

[monicasarbu]

The load script doesn't receive the password together with the username for connecting to Elasticsearch. Passing username:password under the user argument doesn't work:

./load.sh -user 'admin:xxxxxx' -url 'https://xyz.aws.found.io:9243'

But the following command works:

./load.sh https://admin:xxxxxx@xyz.aws.found.io:9243

Providing the password with -user 'admin:password' works for me. Are you sure this does not work?

See #56. It documents the possible ways to set the password.

@pmusa Pablo, as you are the one that noticed a problem with loading the dashboards to aws.found.io, could you please let us know again what command are you using and which one is not working for you? I might have missed something in here. Thanks!

It failed because the password is wrong, but the request was successful. Maybe I am doing something wrong. I am using a mac.

I do not see any url handler inside the script itself only a $2 into curl user. So testing here, this works as well

./load.sh https://94146e7a3afb6ed9626a95a638596dbc.eu-west-1.aws.found.io:9243/ admin:asd
