Hi Team,

I am new to Elasticsearch and Kibana. I using windows and downloaded the elasticsearch 8.5.3 version zip file. After unzip I run the elasticsearch.bat file in command prompt. It generates token, username and password. After generates it throws error and not able to start using [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200).

I followed below steps in elasticsearch.yaml file to fix.

xpack.security.enabled: true

xpack.security.enrollment.enabled: true

# Enable encryption for HTTP API client connections, such as Kibana, Logstash, and Agents

xpack.security.http.ssl:  
enabled: false  
keystore.path: certs/http.p12

# Enable encryption and mutual authentication between cluster nodes

xpack.security.transport.ssl:  
enabled: false  
verification\_mode: certificate  
keystore.path: certs/transport.p12  
truststore.path: certs/transport.p12

# Create a new cluster with the current node only

# Additional nodes can still join the cluster later

cluster.initial\_master\_nodes: ["L-INE-7YRCQG3"]

# Allow HTTP API connections from anywhere

# Connections are encrypted and require user authentication

http.host: 0.0.0.0

I created the user, user role in corresponding files.

After changing this I can be able to work on the elasticsearch using [http://localhost:9200](http://localhost:9200)

When I install the kibana and start it throws error.

[ERROR][savedobjects-service] [.kibana] Action failed with 'security\_exception: [security\_exception] Reason: action [indices:admin/create] is unauthorized for user [krishna] with effective roles [admins] (assigned roles [monitoring,network] were not found) on restricted indices [.kibana\_8.5.3\_001], this action is granted by the index privileges [create\_index,manage,all]'. Retrying attempt 4 in 16 seconds.

What files? How did you actually create them?
