Unfortunately, elasticsearch does not support authentication/authorization out of the box. This is a limitation of elasticsearch, and not Nutch.
However, you have a few options, none of which I can personally recommend because I haven't used them. One is the elasticsearch-http-basic plugin, which you can find on GitHub. It seems to be pretty well maintained. Another option is to put elasticsearch behind a reverse proxy--I know that nginx is a popular solution here. However, before you explore any of those options too deeply, I suggest you confirm that HTTP basic auth is supported in the elasticsearch Java API. After you confirm this, and decide on an authentication system, you'll need to modify the elastic index writer plugin in Nutch.
