I too am getting the above error.  
what I did was I installed elastic 7.1 then enables xpack and configured the user roles for kibana user in kibana.yml please find my kibana.yml configuration

```
elasticsearch.hosts: "https://10.8.1.205:9650" #ensure https not http
xpack.security.enabled: true
elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
elasticsearch.password: "changeme"
elasticsearch.ssl.certificate: /etc/kibana/config/client.cer
elasticsearch.ssl.key: /etc/kibana/config/client.key
elasticsearch.ssl.certificateAuthorities: /etc/kibana/config/client-ca.cer
elasticsearch.ssl.verificationMode: certificate
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.username: "kibana"
xpack.monitoring.elasticsearch.password: "changeme"
server.host: 10.8.1.205
server.port: 8798

```

and when restarting the kibana I get the below error.
