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? ![9-5-2018%2010-08-13%20AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/e/ee2db7f894d30bb4a4e5a9b45f38e64fdcb12a50.jpeg) ---

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