After I'm using X--Pack basic authentication setting, it disables **elastic** and **kibana** users after some times working on my project? Then I have to reset these user's password then restart Elasticsearch and Kibana, then it will be work. in last 3 hours, I did it 4 times?!! why this is happening? ---

X-Back basic does not have security features. ---

I meant X-pack free licensed. I have installed x-pack free license and it has set the password for my Elasticseach and Kibana. These are not fecurity features? ---

I do not need any features like machine learning. I`m using Xpack free only for setting a password for users. If I miss understood, please correct me. I want: - install my Elastic search and Kibana on my ubuntu server (that only response to localhost. I have now) - Access Kibana in the browser. I can not open in Kibana from ssh so I should use the browser. I the Kkibana only listen to localhost on my server, how can I access it vi for example [http://200.50.60.30](http://200.50.60.30) ? - I need to deny all IP and only allow localhost and server real IP - I need set a password for elastic and Kibana users. Do I need x-pack for those above fatures? ---

Security needs xpack gold or platinum. You can have by default a trial license of 30 days. The basic free license does not include security. Have a look at [https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions](https://www.elastic.co/subscriptions) ---

I think I found the problem. In developing mode, I use this command a lot "DELETE \_all". From last night os far, I did not use this command and my application was working fine with lots of restarts. But now I just used that command for reconfiguration indicates, and suddenly it happened again. My solution in DevMode: I made another superuser and whenever it happens, I only use these commands fastly: ``` curl -u es_admin -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/user/elastic/_password?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "password" : "oldElasticPassword"}' curl -u es_admin -XPUT 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/user/kibana/_password?pretty' -H 'Content-Type: application/json' -d' { "password" : "oldKibanaPassword"}' ``` " **oldElasticPassword**" and " **oldKibanaPassword**" are the password I was using before these users disabled. It means please get back to some minutes config (last passwords I was using) and I do not need to change any config files again. Verifying users: ``` curl -u elastic 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/_authenticate?pretty' curl -u kibana 'http://localhost:9200/_xpack/security/_authenticate?pretty' ``` Then Restart: ``` systemctl restart kibana.service systemctl restart elasticsearch.service ``` ---
