I installed Elasticsearch and Kibana 8.1.2 locally with standard configurations and without Docker on Windows 11. I just changed the passwords for all systems and bootstrap.
Elasticsearch is starting fine (using the bat-file). But when I start Kibana I see in the Browser (Chrome) for a second and than I get the message "Kibana server is not ready yet.".
Interesting at the cli is the line (full content below):
[ERROR][elasticsearch-service] Unable to retrieve version information from Elasticsearch nodes. security_exception: [security_exception] Reason: missing authentication credentials for REST request [/_nodes?filter_path=nodes..version%2Cnodes..http.publish_address%2Cnodes.*.ip]
I tried to set the password at kibana.yml:
xpack.security.encryptionKey: "something_at_least_32_characters"
But the passwords I set before are shorter than 32 characters and to change the passwords a second time I get only this message:
The password for the 'elastic' user has already been changed on this cluster
The kibana.yml is empty (every thing is commented out).
How do I set the authentication credentials or how can I manage this problem?
Thanks, Frank
Here the cli log:
