Kibana stuck at "Waiting For Elastic"

I have my Elastic Cluster up and running and can hit the _cluster/health

|status|"green"|
|timed_out|false|
|number_of_nodes|3|
|number_of_data_nodes|3|
|active_primary_shards|1|
|active_shards|3|
|relocating_shards|0|
|initializing_shards|0|
|unassigned_shards|0|

|number_of_pending_tasks|0|
|number_of_in_flight_fetch|0|
|task_max_waiting_in_queue_millis|0|
|active_shards_percent_as_number|100|

Kibana seems to come up but I cannot sign in, and it seems to be stuck here:

Any ideas on what I need to check/validate to resolve this?

Hey @ktrommeshauser, it seems that you're using SearchGuard, which I'm not too familiar with, are you able to view the login screen?

Yes @Brandon_Kobel, the login screen appears. However login just flashes when I enter the login, no errors anywhere. I was assuming that since it was "waiting" that is why perhaps I was not able to sign in. Maybe this is all due to Search Guard? and I need to visit those forums instead?

Yeah, I'd recommend checking with them to see why the logins are failing.
