Hi,

When using SSL for Elasticsearch, is the Elastic account where 'changeme' is the password be dropped? No need to specify the password in the kibana.yml?

Thanks!

If you are not using authentication (`xpack.security.enabled: false`), then yes, there is no need to use those fields. Else, you will still need them.
