Hi Team,

Can I enable transport.ssl security feature for ES cluster authentication in basic license ?

X-pack works well in single node in basic license but can I use it in cluster.

I want to enable role based authentication that require me to enable x-pack security. I have checked in single node ES x-pack works well but using basic license Can I run x-pack transport.ssl security to enable role based authentication.
