Hi there,  
I'm not able to find Kibana cases by API request.  
This is the error I get :

> {"statusCode":401,"error":"Unauthorized","message":"Unauthorized"}

I'm trying to find cases with this curl :

> curl --user username:password -XGET ".../api/cases/\_find?

I have the same problem when I'm trying with API Key instead of Basic Auth.

I'm on Elasticsearch on premise.

But when I do it with the DevConsole it works with this command with the same user and permissions :

> GET kbn:/api/cases/\_find

Could someone help me with this please ?  
Have a nice day.
