Basic license, users, and https

thanks David and Christian for replies

% curl -sk --user ${ELKUS}:${ELKPW} -XGET https://localhost:9200/_cat/indices | python3 -m json.tool
{
"error": {
"root_cause": [
{
"type": "security_exception",
"reason": "current license is non-compliant for [security]",
"license.expired.feature": "security"
}
],
"type": "security_exception",
"reason": "current license is non-compliant for [security]",
"license.expired.feature": "security"
},
"status": 403
}

is what i saw.

But the "trial" license was correct, I've now POST-ed /_license/start_basic and I'm good again.
