I have ES 5.6, kibana 5.6 and x-pack 5.6.  
I was just trying out x-pack. i changed the password of 'elastic' user. i can login using curl, so username and password is correct. However in kibana when i click 'login' the page just refreshes and nothing happens. Below is the screen shot, any idea what is happening:

Elasticsearch.yml has :  
http.cors.enabled: true  
http.cors.allow-origin: "\*"

kibana.yml has:  
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"  
elasticsearch.password: \<the\_password\>

@TimV No logs on terminal, but browser consol is like:  
Unknown provider: $routeProvider \<- $route \<- biPluginBrandingController

I am using a custom plugin with x-pack and looks like they are conflicting. The code in my plugin that coflicts with x-pack is the registring to chromeNavControlsRegistry, ie:

function discoverControlProvider() {  
return {  
name: 'bi\_plugin\_branding',  
order: 1001,  
template  
};  
}

chromeNavControlsRegistry.register(discoverControlProvider);

Is there anything wrong with the way is register the bi plugin?

@TimV below code won't work either:

chromeNavControlsRegistry.register(constant({  
name: 'bi\_plugin\_branding',  
order: 1001,  
template  
}));
