Hí,  
I am making an application to query elasticsearch and I get an error when launching the query:

```auto
ElasticsearchWarning: The client is unable to verify that the server is Elasticsearch due security privileges on the server side
  result=elastic_client.search(index="kubernetes-arca3auditoria-*",query=query_body,size=5000,scroll='3m')

```

I have this configuration:

```auto
elastic_client = Elasticsearch(hosts=[{"host":"ip","port":port,"scheme":"json"}],http_auth=("auditoria","password"))

```

I'm use 7.17.8 client of elasticsearch and the server have 7.3

Welcome to our community! 😃

Can you curl Elasticsearch using that username and password?

7.3 is very old and well past [EOL](https://www.elastic.co/support/eol), please upgrade with some urgency.
