i have the same problem, but now it's fixed.

make sure you enable xpack.security.http.ssl on elasticsearch.yml. because I disable it before.

then change the host to:

--elasticsearch-host="https://localhost"

then add more options to your command for authentication:

--elasticsearch-enable-auth=true --elasticsearch-username="elastic" --elasticsearch-password="your password"
