Elasticsearch Authentication Exception

Elastic Stack Kibana
1

My elasticsearch docker cluster is green, check from within the Kibana container with the kibana user:
1524397495 11:44:55 docker-cluster green 1 1 12 12 0 0 0 0 - 100.0%

However, Kibana fails to connect to elasticsearch with the following logoutput:
ontentLength":9},"message":"GET /ui/favicons/favicon-16x16.png 304 1ms - 9.0B"}

Kibana UI loos like this:

What could be the issue?

It seems you've installed X-Pack in Elasticsearch. If this is correct, then you also need to install X-Pack in Kibana

3

I've installed the following docker image:
elasticsearch-platinum:6.2.4

And:
kibana:6.2.4

Which would mean, that X-Pack is preinstalled on elasticsearch-platinum:6.2.4 right?

4

Can this be listed to be verified please: bin/kibana-plugin list

5

Verify the kibana docker image that you have installed. You've mentioned that you used kibana:6.2.4, which should include x-pack, but the screenshot you've provided is from Kibana 5, not 6, and it is not including x-pack.
