The previous version I used was 6.24. After I upgraded the elasticsearch and kibana to 6.3, the login is disable( can not input the username and password). When I removed `xpack.security.enabled: true` in the elasticsearch.yml, It still don't work. The only way enter the kibana is : removed `xpack.security.enabled: true` in the elasticsearch.yml and change the `elasticsearch.username` and `elasticsearch.password` to `elasticsearch.username: elastic` and `elasticsearch.password: changeme`. However, the Login page disappeared after I did that. it's weird because I used `bin/elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive` to change all of ELK's password when I used 6.24 version. How could I login on the kibana when I use xpack.security? ---

There's lots of things that might cause this, and it's not clear from your post exactly how you upgraded and what settings you are running with. Regarding your upgrade: - How did you perform your upgrade? - Are you using the same data directory as you used on 6.2.4? - Did you change any configuration? Can you connect to the Elasticsearch server using curl (or a similar tool)? - Does `curl -uelastic http://localhost:9200/` work? Check `GET /_xpack` on your elasticsearch server. - what license type is it reporting? - what does it report for the `enabled` & `allowed` states on the security feature? ---

1. I used deb to upgrade 2. I use the same data directory 3. I don't change any configuration. 4. the license I use is trial, and security is allowed. But I disabled the security because it's the only way to use kibana. 5. When I input `curl -uelastic http://localhost:9200/`, it required the elastic password. And the result is connection refused ---
