Sorry for the delay, @rupaln and sorry for giving incomplete advice.

I was able to get the Kibana server to respond with a cookie header by POSTing to `/api/security/v1/login` with a JSON request body of

```
{
    "password": "<YOURPASSWORD>",
    "username": "<YOURUSERNAME>"
}

```

and the appropriate `kbn-version: 5.1.1` header.
