I am getting the following message :

I have run :
curl -uelastic -XPOST 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/license/start_basic'
Enter host password for user 'elastic':

I was equested to enter 'elastic' user.
I dont have such user .....

[root@elk74 log]# cat /etc/passwd | grep elastic

I was equested to enter 'elastic' user.

this is because you specified -uelastic when running the curl command.

@yoavb

I dont have such user .....

[root@elk74 log]# cat /etc/passwd | grep elastic
elasticsearch:x:1009:1008::/home/elasticsearch:/bin/bash

This is not an Operating system user, this is an Elasticsearch user.

What version is this? You were running with trial license before, did you enable security ? Have you set the passwords for the built in user ?
