What is missing? Is not that a JavaScript error?

This specific "callWithRequestFactory" error is due to a wrong version of kibana4 vs the shield plugin. It might be nice to have a clean kibana error instead like "version of plugin shield x.x not supported".

Hi, Baboune:
I had exactly the same issue today(I'm using Kibana 4.4.2). I was able to get around this issue by installing shield 2.2.1. The latest version (2.3.0) is not compatible with Kibana 4.4.2.

bin/kibana plugin --install kibana/shield/2.2.1

thx Yuan.

I could upgrade to latest kibana .

You are very welcome, Baboune. I was googling around and found this thread. : )

Sorry this isn't very user friendly!
I've raised an (internal) issue to get the error something that is digestible :slight_smile:
