Proper access policy for Amazon Elastic Search Cluster

Question

I\'ve recently started using the new Amazon Elasticsearch Service and I can\'t seem to figure out the access policy I need so that I can only access the services from my EC2

Answer 1

A bit late to the party, but I was able to deal with the exact same issue by adding signature to my requests.

It worked perfectly for me.
