I was able to create ApiKey from Elasticsearch console.  
But, when i try to Post Document to the ES url using PostMan, i am getting this error. (subject).

1. does it take time for the apikey to become effective ?
2. the url i used in postman is same as the ES cluster url, is that ok ?
3. my Elasticsearch instance is trial version. would that have any impact ?

how to troubleshoot these errors ?
