Hi All , ``` can you please explain the method of username and password entering criteria in Xpack installed ELK ( 6.0.0 ). ``` Before installing Xpack , 6.0.0, ELK is working well. Xpack installed successfully. First I am tried in Elasticsearch with command bin/x-pack/setup-passwords interactive. Password for E , L and K i am entered the same password "000029". ## And in kibana.yml elasticsearch.username: "kibana" elasticsearch.password: "kibanapassword" ## And in logstash.yml xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: u12345(cent Os username ) xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: 000029 ( Not Centos username . As per Elastic search entry ) It is not working. Kibana showing Login in locked. Please help me to configure these usernames and passwords properly. E, L and K are installed on the same machine. OS is CentOS. User u12345, Password: xyz123. u12345 is using for E, L, and K search installations. ---

Hello Rijin, Please go through the detailed instructions in [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/security-getting-started.html) and [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/setting-up-authentication.html#set-built-in-user-passwords) . Following these steps will guarantee that you have a working and secure environment in the end. One obvious problem I see is that in kibana.yml, you should set the password to `000029` and not `kibanapassword` as you have it now. Also `xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username` should probably not be the OS username, you can read more [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/secure-monitoring.html). As a general note, it is a good practice to not share your passwords in public forums, even though the above seem like temporary test credentials. ---

Thank you Ikakavas , These usernames and passwords are not real. 🙂 My doubt is elasticsearch.username: "kibana" is any label or Kibana using OS user ? I want to inform one more thing , i am not configured SSL/TLS. Not added this to elastisearch.yml xpack.ssl.key: certs/${[node.name](http://node.name)}/${[node.name](http://node.name)}.key xpack.ssl.certificate: certs/${[node.name](http://node.name)}/${[node.name](http://node.name)}.crt xpack.ssl.certificate\_authorities: certs/ca/ca.crt xpack.security.transport.ssl.enabled: true ---

Hi, Let's take it one problem at a time 🙂 > My doubt is elasticsearch.username: "kibana" is any label or Kibana using OS user ? This is not an OS user, this the [builtin user](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/6.0/setting-up-authentication.html) that kibana uses to connect to elasticsearch. According to the information you have shared so far, your kibana.yml file should look like > elasticsearch.username: "kibana" > elasticsearch.password: "000029" TLS/SSL is not directly related to the above problem. Once this is solved you can setup TLS using the [documentation](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/x-pack/current/ssl-tls.html) as guidance. ---
