If you're using elasticsearch-head you can add auth user and pass to the url, then use the hostname and port in the connection box.

So access the plugin with a url like:

file:///Users/foo/elasticsearch-head/index.html?auth_user=foo&auth_password=bar

The index.html has some javascript that uses these variables for auth.

Also your browser should allow CORS so use an extension.

You need to allow CORS in elasticsearch.yml. Try adding:

http.cors.enabled: true
http.cors.allow-origin: "/.*/" 
network.host: 0.0.0.0

It should show you head UI. Please note that you'll need to fine tune this configuration for production usage.

Hope I have managed to help!

It seems that you are using default Elasticsearch configuration.

By default, Elasticsearch binds to localhost only. You can check your config in config/elasticsearch.yml. Set network.host in elasticsearch.yml to bind your node to a hostname or ip address. Check this documentation for more details:
