Not able to create new user for elasticsearch using elasticsearch-http-user-auth

[santhoshdevadiga]

Hi I am not able to create a user using this plugin. I want to create a user per index so that index will be accessible only for that particular user.

Elasticsearch v 5.1.2 Elasticsearch-http-user-auth v5.1.2

Added configuration in elasticsearch.yml

elasticfence.disabled: false
elasticfence.root.password: rootpassword

Ran below commands to get the user list

curl -u root:rootpassword http://localhost:9200/_httpuserauth?mode=list []

For creating a user ran below commands but i got error

curl -u root:rootpassword http://localhost:9200/_httpuserauth?mode=adduser&username=admin&password=somepass [1] 28647 [2] 28648 [vagrant@localhost ~]$ User already exists : null

Please help to solve this issue.

Ran below commands

curl -u root:rootpassword "http://localhost:9200/_httpuserauth?mode=adduser&username=admin&password=somepass"

instead of

curl -u root:rootpassword http://localhost:9200/_httpuserauth?mode=adduser&username=admin&password=somepass

FYI: As there is no more content hosting by elasticsearch plugins, the UI will be moved to a Kibana plugin in the future

We have a plan to use kibana but not now. Do you have any plan to support this plugin for Elasticsearch v5.2.2 because we are using ES v5.2.2?

To add elasticsearch-http-user-auth (v5.1.2 latest) plugin we may have to degrade the ES version from 5.2.2 to 5.1.2.
