Hi ,

we have installed Elasticsearch 8.1 windows version as a services , here localhost:9200 will be browse with user name and password .  
and we are not able to run Kibana , and its asking for to generate the Token,  
if we try to run the [Elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token`]command throwing ERROR: [xpack.security.enrollment.enabled] must be set to `true` to create an enrollment token.  
the same if we add under Ealsticsearch.yml file , Elasticsearch services will not stop.

Please Guide us the proper setup step and YML file configuration details.

Regards  
Sateesh TV

Given that this is a fresh installation, correct ?

With 8.0 there is a new process using enrolment tokens. This differs from previous version installations.
