==== TLS is now licensed under the Elastic Basic license
12+
13+
Transport Layer Security (TLS), commonly referred to as SSL, is now
14+
licensed under the free-of-charge Elastic Basic license. Previously, this security feature
15+
required a paid Gold-tier subscription. With the default distribution,
16+
you can now encrypt all Elasticsearch communication, within a cluster and across remotes
17+
clusters. Download https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch[Elasticsearch],
18+
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/configuring-tls.html[configure TLS],
19+
and run your cluster in production, knowing all Elasticsearch communication is safely encrypted.
20+

==== RBAC is now licensed under the Elastic Basic license
24+
25+
RBAC (Role Based Access Control) is now licenced under the free-of-charge Elastic Basic licence.
26+
Previously, this security feature required a paid Gold-tier subscription.
27+
With the default distribution you can take advantage of RBAC by configuring users, groups, roles
28+
and permissions for any user from the
29+
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/configuring-file-realm.html[file realm]
30+
or the https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/6.8/configuring-native-realm.html[native realm]
31+
. Download https://www.elastic.co/downloads/elasticsearch[Elasticsearch],
32+
https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elastic-stack-overview/6.8/authorization.html[configure RBAC],
33+
and run your cluster in production, knowing your private data stays private.
34+
Note that our advanced security features, such as single sign-on and Active Directory/LDAP
35+
authentication to field-level and document-level security, remain paid features.
