Hi @ld57,
Yes, good that Elastic finally is rising the bar on free security.
ReadonlyREST will keep developing in parallel SSL and all the other features, because in ES and in Kibana, ROR and XPack security are not compatible: you either activate the one or the other.
To recap, what you get with ReadonlyREST Free edition that you don’t get with X-pack Free:
- LDAP
- Field level security
- Document level security
What you get with ReadonlyREST Enterprise:
- SAML
- (soon OpenID Connect)
- SLA support
- Tweak/Augment Kibana UI with custom Javascript and CSS
- Hide Kibana Apps for certain users/groups
