Hi there,  
I have downloaded Elasticsearch 6 and Kibana 6 with x-pack,I also followed the instruction to set up X-pack mentioned [here](https://www.elastic.co/downloads/x-pack) and finally inserted the example dataset mentioned [here](https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/kibana/current/tutorial-load-dataset.html)  
However, when I open Kibana I got this error message,

`Error: [object Object]: [security_exception] missing authentication token for REST request [/logstash-*/_field_caps?fields=*&ignore_unavailable=true&allow_no_indices=false], with { header={ WWW-Authenticate="Basic realm=\"security\" charset=\"UTF-8\"" } } at http://localhost:5601/bundles/kibana.bundle.js?v=16070:27:1911 at processQueue (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:39:9912) at http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:39:10805 at Scope.$digest (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:39:21741) at Scope.$apply (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:39:24520) at done (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:38:9495) at completeRequest (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:38:13952) at XMLHttpRequest.xhr.onload (http://localhost:5601/bundles/commons.bundle.js?v=16070:38:14690)`  
I can't neither build a visualisation nor open Discover. But I can access my data in the Dev Tools  
My work environment is Chrome browser on a Mac laptop

It almost looks like something went wrong with installing x-pack in kibana. Are you seeing icons in the sidebar for monitoring and graph?

Are you seeing any basic auth prompts in kibana?

Thanks for your reply, all the icons were shown, nothing weird about the interface except for the red toolbar on top of the screen showing the error. When I removed xpack it worked normally, so it should be something with it, but I have no idea exactly what is it as I followed all the instruction carefully.
