Adding a basic user/pass authentication for ElasticSearch

Hi,
I deployed Elasticsearch with the following the page below to my Azure Kubernetes environment.

Deploy an Elasticsearch cluster | Elastic Cloud on Kubernetes [master] | Elastic

It works fine.

But I want to add a basic user/password authentication for Elasticsearch page. I really don't get it why it's so complicated and needs to Google it.

Then I checked this page;

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-started-enable-security.html

I guess I need to add "xpack.security.enabled: true" to elasticsearch.yaml file, but to where? How can I do that? I c/p and put the yaml file and it didn't worked.

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-started-enable-security.html

Then the documentation below mentioned about the creating passwords for built-in users, but they mentioned only manual installations, not sure how to do with Kubernetes?

`

https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/current/get-started-built-in-users.html

`

Is there any basic documentation available for creating authentication on Elasticsearch? How can I do that?

Ps: Elastic documentation is really bad, in my opinion. It needs to be revised.

Regards.
