There is no free login capability in the open-source version of Kibana/Elasticsearch. You must either use X-Pack or one of the other commercial or open-source alternatives.

Thanks robert and one more thing in 6.3 reporting is enabled but there is no options to create reports.Like we do in sentinl.For that also do we need x-pack license.In the subscriptions they have given that csv reporting is free
