I am using the 8.7 version installed through curl command I put _"xpack.security.enabled: false"_ in elasticsearch.yml file and it worked, may I know this is the correct solution. Thanks ---

Hi @Adarsh_R_K 1. If you set these options true in elasticsearch.yml. You can Set the password elasticsearch and all other. xpack.security.enabled: true xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true service elasticsearch restart #command for setting up password ./elasticsearch-setup-passwords interactive Initiating the setup of passwords for reserved users elastic,apm\_system,kibana,kibana\_system,logstash\_system,beats\_system,remote\_monitoring\_user. You will be prompted to enter passwords as the process progresses. Please confirm that you would like to continue [y/N]y Enter password for [elastic]: Reenter password for [elastic]: later u can do curl -X GET "[http://username:password@localhost:9200](http://username:password@localhost:9200) Output look like ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/2/1/21bb3e893675fd0658b23de6911da9f31b94ff9c.png) ---
