4 node physical cluster running redhat 6.5 all components 5.2 from elastics repository Installing xpack from this guide [https://www.elastic.co/downloads/x-pack](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/x-pack) installed xpack on ES - seemed clean installed xpack on kibana - seemed clean used bootstrap.system\_call\_filter: false in the elasticsearch.yml to bypass the kernel check ES and kibana start fine if I use [http://myhostname:9200](http://myhostname:9200) I set a htaccess like dialog box for username and password if I use elastic and changeme - the dialog box just pops up again when I go [http://myhostname:5601](http://myhostname:5601) I get the too many redirects error googling show many people with that error but no solution. Also I did a full restart for teh cluster currently I have ES and kibana running on one host only kibana log shows alot of requests from my browser .216 {"type":"response","@timestamp":"2017-03-17T21:36:53Z","tags":[],"pid":2016,"method":"get","statusCode":302,"req":{"url":"/login?next=%2F","method":"get","headers":{"host":"nn775:5601","connection":"keep-alive","cache-control":"max-age=0","upgrade-insecure-requests":"1","user-agent":"Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/56.0.2924.87 Safari/537.36","accept":"text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,image/webp,_/_;q=0.8","dnt":"1","accept-encoding":"gzip, deflate, sdch","accept-language":"en-US,en;q=0.8"},"remoteAddress":"192.168.1.216","userAgent":"192.168.1.216"},"res":{"statusCode":302,"responseTime":6,"contentLength":9},"message":"GET /login?next=%2F 302 6ms - 9.0B"} on 9200 port after the httaccess dialog box fails I get {"error":{"root\_cause":[{"type":"security\_exception","reason":"missing authentication token for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""}}],"type":"security\_exception","reason":"missing authentication token for REST request [/]","header":{"WWW-Authenticate":"Basic realm="security" charset="UTF-8""}},"status":401} ---

I moved your question to #x-pack Please format your code using `` icon as explained in [this guide](https://discuss.elastic.co/t/about-the-elasticsearch-category/21). It will make your post more readable. Or use markdown style like: ```` ``` CODE ``` ```` ---
