Is there basic authentication free with elastic search (basic) distributed version or this falls under the 30 days trial feature ?

We are working on adding elastic search as indexing solution for our application. Bit confused with licensing and subscription where they mention that distributed has some feature like Xpack for security free but also mention that it is under trail version.

So the question is can we add basic security to elastic search and use it without any trial issue or it is trial pack ?

basic Elastic Security features are free since v6.8 or v7.1. No trial. From this feature matrix, here's what you get for free:

  • Secure settings
  • Encrypted communications
  • Role-based access control
  • File and native authentication
  • Kibana Spaces
  • Kibana feature controls
  • API keys management

Your basic authentication requirement is covered by using file or native authentication (https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/7.11/setting-up-authentication.html), as long as you don't have to integrate your authentication process with an identity provider.
