It looks like it's possible to use Xpack credentials and use Rest clients.
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-high-getting-started-initialization.html
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-rest/master/java-rest-low-usage-initialization.html
For example:
*final* *CredentialsProvider** credentialsProvider **=* *new*
*BasicCredentialsProvider**();*
*credentialsProvider**.**setCredentials**(**AuthScope**.**ANY**,*
*new* *UsernamePasswordCredentials**(**"user"**,* *"password"**));*
*RestClientBuilder** builder **=* *RestClient**.**builder**(**new*
*HttpHost**(**"localhost"**,* *9200**))*
*.**setHttpClientConfigCallback**(**new*
*RestClientBuilder**.**HttpClientConfigCallback**()* *{*
*@Override*
*public* *HttpAsyncClientBuilder**
customizeHttpClient**(**HttpAsyncClientBuilder** httpClientBuilder**)*
*{*
*return**
httpClientBuilder**.**setDefaultCredentialsProvider**(**credentialsProvider**);*
*}*
*});*
*RestHighLevelClient** client **=* *new* *RestHighLevelClient**(**builder**);*
