There are a few posts noting this error message, without a solution.

In case somebody stumbles upon it : This message may be very misleading, **in case you did not activate xpack security**

First, check your service logs:

```auto
 journalctl -u kibana.service

```

if you find the following message, there you go`

```auto
Kibana security must be enabled to use Fleet

```

configure x-pack to true in elasticsearc.yml, restart both elasticsearch and kibana  
you will need then to secure the access  
You will need the following commands on terminal

```auto
/usr/share/bin/elasticsearch-create-enrollment-token --scope kibana
/usr/share/kibana/bin/kibana-verification-code
/usr/share/elasticsearch/bin/ elasticsearch-reset-password -u elastic -i

```

hope this helps someone  
you're welcome
