It's in their [blog](https://www.elastic.co/what-is/elastic-stack-security?ultron=%5BB%5D-Elastic-%5BAMER%5D-US+CA-BMM&blade=adwords-s&Device=c&thor=%2Bsecuring%20%2Belasticsearch&gclid=CjwKCAjw-ITqBRB7EiwAZ1c5U8xztDDNFvbTTfvol9JmSuNLZ7YtyHYebHbuR-RyZRl8BisJ3BhuGRoCJlsQAvD_BwE)

and doc, Basic security is now in the basic license (free!) but only "internal" accounts, no integration with LDAP etc.
