This is a plugin to secure Elasticseach indices. Meaning that it adds a layer of authentication on top since by default there's no restrictions to query, add and modify Elasticsearch indexes.

In your use case, securing a web app, I don't think this is the right place to be. Novertheless you can learn from the plugin design by looking to docs and source code ;)
