I can successfully connect to ES from Java and Curl, bu using 'myUserName:myPassword'  
but when initializing the node.js client as shown in the doc, i receive 403

const { Client } = require('@elastic/elasticsearch')  
const client = new Client({ node: '[https://myUserName:myPassword@myEsHostName:9200](https://myUserName:myPassword@myEsHostName:9200)' })
