The `elasticsearch.username` and its password are only used to allow the Kibana app to log into an Elasticsearch server with security enabled. Typically you would use the `kibana` user here.

When Kibana detects that the server requires authentication, it should automatically display a login screen. Please ensure that the Elasticsearch server is set up accordingly.

Hi,  
I have this :

```
# NOTE: Elasticsearch comes with reasonable defaults for most settings.

# Before you set out to tweak and tune the configuration, make sure you
# understand what are you trying to accomplish and the consequences.
#
# The primary way of configuring a node is via this file. This template lists
# the most important settings you may want to configure for a production cluster.
#
# Please consult the documentation for further information on configuration options:
# https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/index.html
#
# ---------------------------------- Cluster -----------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for your cluster:
#
#cluster.name: my-application
#
# ------------------------------------ Node ------------------------------------
#
# Use a descriptive name for the node:
#
#node.name: node-1
#
# Add custom attributes to the node:
#
#node.attr.rack: r1
#
# ----------------------------------- Paths ------------------------------------
#
# Path to directory where to store the data (separate multiple locations by comma):
#
path.data: /var/lib/elasticsearch
#
# Path to log files:
#
path.logs: /var/log/elasticsearch
#
# ----------------------------------- Memory -----------------------------------
#
# Lock the memory on startup:
#
#bootstrap.memory_lock: true
#
# Make sure that the heap size is set to about half the memory available
# on the system and that the owner of the process is allowed to use this
# limit.
#
# Elasticsearch performs poorly when the system is swapping the memory.
#
# ---------------------------------- Network -----------------------------------
#
xpack.security.enabled: true
# Set the bind address to a specific IP (IPv4 or IPv6):
#
network.host: <IP_SERVER_ELASTIC/KIBANA>
#
# Set a custom port for HTTP:
#
http.port: 9200
#
```

Hi,  
I found something with x-pack, I would like put password so I lunch this command :  
`bin/x-pack/setup-passwords interactive`  
But the response of the command is : `ERROR: Missing Command`. I don't know why ...  
And when I lunch `./elasticsearch-keystore add "bootstrap.password"`

I have this result :

```
Exception in thread "main" org.apache.lucene.index.CorruptIndexException: misplaced codec footer (file extended?): remaining=17, expected=16, fp=183 (resource=BufferedChecksumIndexInput(SimpleFSIndexInput(path="/etc/elasticsearch/elasticsearch.keystore")))
