I installed ELK 6.2. I created some index in ES and i would like to connect Kibana to ES. I do not use x-pack. When I connect to my kibana server on [http://10.206.81.224:5601](http://10.206.81.224:5601) i am prompted for user and password. Its user created for communication with ES. When I log in, i cant do anything, i just see this error: > Error: Authentication Exception > at [http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16588:1:688912](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16588:1:688912) > at processQueue ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:132456](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:132456)) > at [http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:133349](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:133349) > at Scope.$digest ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:144239](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:144239)) > at Scope.$apply ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:147018](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:147018)) > at done ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:100026](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:100026)) > at completeRequest ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:104697](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:104697)) > at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload ([http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:105435](http://10.206.81.224:5601/bundles/vendors.bundle.js?v=16588:58:105435)) So I can't add any index pattern, etc... When i connect to ES with head plugin for chrome, everything works fine and i can see my index. This is my kibana.yml: > server.port: 5601 > server.host: "10.206.81.224" > elasticsearch.url: "[http://10.206.81.232:9200](http://10.206.81.232:9200)" > elasticsearch.username: admin > elasticsearch.password: admin Can anybody help me and explain me where is the problem? ---

When you connect to kibana server and are prompted for user and password, what user and password do you enter? ---
