Hi,

I'have a problem to authentificating Kibana on Elastic .  
After generating a token on Elastic, Kibana is block on "Server is not ready yet"  
I have two different IP on each server and they ping each other

Changes in configuration are :

elasticsearch.yml

```auto
cluster.name: MY CLUSTER NAME
node.name : NODE 1
network.host:IP_ADRESS_ELASTIC_SERVER
http.port: 9200

```

Kibana.yml :

```auto

server.port: 5601
server.host: "IP_ADRESS_KIBANA_SERVER"
server.name: "KIBANA HOSTNAME"
elasticsearch.hosts: ["httpS://IP_ADRESS_ELASTIC_SERVER:9200"]

```

Have you seen any errors?  
Do you have an idea ?

I specify that the xpack security is "TRUE" on elastic.  
If I set it to "FALSE", Kibana works..

Thanks

Julien

It happened to me and I don't know if it's your case. But I entered the wrong path where the kibana-server certificate was located.

What do your Kibana logs show?

Do I need to do a kibana certificate?  
I haven't configured any  
I left the default configuration on Elastic and Kibana (look at the top)

It is necessary to use "https" instead of "http". It adds an extra layer of security.

Yes , but I use the default config , what I have to do ?  
What parameters I have to change ?

If I want to use enrollement-token , I have to do this :

> **[Set up basic security for the Elastic Stack plus secured HTTPS traffic |...](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.7/security-basic-setup-https.html#encrypt-kibana-browser)**

When I read the installation topics, it's not very clear for me :

> **[elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token | Elasticsearch Guide \[8.6\] | Elastic](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/reference/8.6/create-enrollment-token.html)**

Someone can answer me ?  
Is it necessary to use "Set up basic security " for use enrollement-token ?
