Hi, I'm new to x-pack. just finished testing with elasticsearch 6.0.0/ kibana6.0.0 with my data and now wants to try x-pack before buying a licence for my project. I have installed and configured x-pack on elasticsearch and kibana 2 times but the same error for both times. Can anyone help me to resolve it?
I did some research on google for it but not able to solvemyself.
Thanks
Manu

Generally you see this on the login screen when Kibana is not able to connect to Elasticsearch. I would recommend looking in the Kibana logs and seeing what error you see in there.

I see an AuthenticationException. Security is enabled for the trial license you get when you download, so you need to put the elastic username/password in the kibana.yml file:
`elasticsearch.username: elastic`
`elasticsearch.password: password`

Did you restart Kibana? The settings are not dynamic. If so, is there a new error message in the logs?

I restarted both Elasticsearch and kibana, still same screen for kibana. I'm getting log in pop-up for elasticsearch but no change with kibana.

What do you see in the Kibana logs? There should be some sort of error.
