Using the security API instead of securityadmin.sh in OpenSearch 2.0.0

[asfoorial]

Hi all,

As several members have reported in the forum and in github that they are having issues running securityadmin.sh due to the removal of TransportClient in 2.x, I would like to ask the following question:

Can we rely on the security API as a replacement for securityadmin.sh. Is there any security functionality that cannot be done in the API but can in securityadmin.sh?

Thanks

@asfoorial securityadmin.sh is using port 9200 in version 2.0.x.
As per documentation, it is recommended to use securityadmin.sh instead of direct REST API calls.
