Hello @ikakavas,

As per your comments. i have used token service made a [POST] call to my elastic api "/\_security/oauth2/token" which is running on"9200" to generate tokens and it is successful in getting access token and refresh token. Please may i know the next step to store the token in my browser. I don't think it will work if i set the bearer token in my browser with any "keyname"..

Also, I have also tried another alternative using this post:

I was able to get the Kibana server to respond with a cookie header by POSTing to /api/security/v1/login with a JSON request body of { "password": "\<YOURPASSWORD\>", "username": "\<YOURUSERNAME\>" } and the appropriate kbn-version: 5.1.1 header.

If you refer to the screenshot, I was able to get some JSON response. But i am not getting the cookie.

Do I need to make any changes in elasticsearch.yaml or kibana.yaml files in order to get the cookie? If i get the cookie. I can store it in my browser. But, Will it work after getting the cookie?  
Please can you provide me a right path in achieving this.
