Hi, thank you for reporting this bug. Sadly i cannot reproduce the issue, even with the exact same config that you provided. Do you see any error messages in the browser console (press F12, then select the "console" tab) when you try to connect to your cluster?

Sorry for my late.
Here is my test screen with devtools.

And the error message is below,
{"error":{"root_cause":[{"type":"security_exception","reason":"failed to authenticate user [elastic]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""}}],"type":"security_exception","reason":"failed to authenticate user [elastic]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""}},"status":401}

So It seems like authentication doesn't work.

But it works under chrome extension elasticsearch head,

So strange.

Hm, thx for the update. To you have any special characters in your password? That might be the issue, i will check that.

[cars10]

Seems that special characters don't work, thanks again for noting this. I already fixed it on develop and will release a new version in the following days. You can always build elasticvue yourself manually or via docker to use the latest version.

Yes, my password contains '#', so I've tried to use '%23' instead but the same error.
Looking forward to the latest version, and thanks a lot for your kind help.

Hey @asdfII , just letting you know that i published a new version (0.16.1) that will hopefully fix the issue. You can update the firefox addon manually or wait for it to update automatically, either way you should be able to connect to your cluster. You also do not need to escape the password, you can enter is as-is.
